Stay Red and Racy with Sunsilk!!!

Do you love ‘Red Hair’? I have to admit I do, especially that beautiful soft deep velvet red.  Celebrities have been rocking the Red for some time now with Rihanna and Ariana both sporting the vibrant colour on a regular basis and lately the ‘Red’ is becoming more mainstream with all shades appearing in the streets from ginger strawberry and soft red through to fiery electric!

Unfortunately for me, my school has very strict guidelines on what is and what is not acceptable :( and I’m thinking the shade I’d go for would fall in the ‘is NOT acceptable’ category!! hehehe  This does not prevent me from admiring others who can wear this colour with style. :D

Anyway, if you’re one of the lucky ones and have dyed your hair any shade of red then you’ll be happy to know that Sunsilk have a two part system especially for red hair, ‘Sunsilk Co-creations Vibrant Colour Protection by RitaHazan’ is here to help you keep your locks looking the way you want. This protector is especially designed to lock the colour in and protect the hair molecule.  ‘Rita Hazan’ is a sought after colourist know for helping to reinvent celebrity looks and has worked with J Lo, Jessica Simpson and Jessica Beal.

The ‘Sunsilk Co-creations Vibrant Colour Protection’ range contains both shampoo and conditioner  and is priced from $4.79 - $11.99 each.

Something to remember when dyeing your hair a different colour is that you will probably need to adjust your makeup to compliment it, this may also include adjusting the shade of your eyebrows. Play around with your makeup and find out what looks great both inside and out, get a bff to help with this if you have to, you know the ‘brutally honest’ bff who gives you tuff love!!!! Hahaha :D

Hopefully one day in the future I'll get to go Red and when I do I know there'll be a product to help keep it that way :)

August loves ...

A little late I know but with QCS, assignments and assessments taking place over the past few weeks it's better later than not at all :/

Just a few things I was loving in August, the first being my BBCream from Skin79, I've mentioned this one in an earlier post but now that I've used it for a few weeks I can honestly say I really do love it.  It's light on the skin and doesn't give too thick coverage which makes it great for school.  I love the packaging and overall I'm just really pleased with it, the only thing I find is that it doesn't last all day.

Another thing I've been grabbing for lately is my Sunsilk Weather Protection and Shine Serum, with the change of seasons seems to come a change in weather and it's been a bit windy lately so this has really helped keep my hair in check and also helps keep it shiny.

I received my first 'Lusthaveit' box in August too, I haven't tried all the products in it yet but the ones I have are great.  I've listed it here because I love getting surprises so that itself is a LOVE for August!!! :))) I've done a separate post on the August 'Lusthaveit' box.

Maybelline 'The Falsies' mascara, I've also mentioned this before but that's ok :) It makes my eyelashes so long and luscious that I can't not mention it :)

I really enjoyed using the 'Clinique makeup remover' over the past couple of months but found that it really wasn't any better than the Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup Remover I've always used so I'm back to using my faithful Neutrogena one, it's much cheaper and does a great job of removing everything easily.

My 28 neutral pallet from Sedona Lace has been a daily got-to for me, it's so easy to use and has a great variety of shades for any natural kind of look, once again perfect for school so I have defs have to list it here :)

Sunsilk’s Frizz & Weather Defence Range - Review

Sunsilk has again teamed up with Teddy Charles who is the creator of the world's latest runway and premier fashion magazine looks.  This time around (yes he's helped with two other collections) it's to co - create Sunsilk's most advanced Frizz Control formulation helping to control unruly hair and create a smooth and defined hairstyle for up to 24hours, the formulation says it provides dual protection against the effects of changes in the weather and my hair needs all the help it can get in winter weather so giving this product a trial appealed to me greatly.


What you receive in this collection is the 'Frizz and Weather Defence Shampoo and Conditioner' along with the 'Frizz Control and Light Cream' and 'Weather Protection and Shine Serum'.  The Shampoo and Conditioner both have a sweetish smell that isn't offensive to me but could be if you weren't into 'scents'.  The bottles are a pretty aqua colour and are designed to stand upsidedown and with curved sides and tapered ends which I think helps with grip if you've got slippery hands in the shower. 

I found that the Shampoo and Conditioner actually made my hair feel oilier than normal which isn't a good thing as my scalp tends to get oily enough on it's own :( (probably a teenage thing!) they did help with the frizzes on the ends though.  I trialled them both on my sister's hair (her hair is really thick and very frizzy in damper weather) and she had great results with the Shampoo and Conditioner, they left her hair a lot more controllable and smooth.


With the 'Frizz Control and Light Cream' and 'Weather Protection and Shine Serum' the results were good, there was definitely a shine to my hair and the ends were noticeably more controllable and both products felt light and easy to use.

The Sunsilk Frizz & Weather Defence is a four step program - to Cleanse, Nourish Protect and Shine and these products are very affordable ranging from ($AU) $5.99 - $11.99.
