FolliOne Shampoo For Hair Growth / FolliOne DHT Scalp Therapy

Hiya Darlins

Hair loss, is it a thing that we only associate with Men ? I think that often it is and we overlook the fact that it can happen to women of any age at any time, for a number of different reasons, as you may recall from previous posts I have mentioned that my eldest daughter in her 40's is suffering from thinning of her hair, fortunately we are blessed with thick hair, so hers is not noticeable to anyone other than her, but it has been falling out by the handful every time she brushes or washes her hair, having taken tests at the GP it was diagnosed that she was lacking in Vitamin D and has been taking his now for months, with the hair situation staying pretty much the same.

Talk about timing, I was offered an opportunity to try out FolliOne a product range specifically designed for hair loss, I of course, could not have tested the product properly, but I knew a girl who could, and my daughter was keen to try anything that may help and proceeded with a month trial of two products from the FolliOne range.

FolliOne Shampoo For Hair Growth / FolliOne DHT Scalp Therapy

FolliOne Anti Hair Loss Shampoo.

This product smells really fresh and clean, and there is a distinct *tingle* when using it, the downside is that is like washing your hair in washing up liquid, it is not a conditioning treatment, so you do need to follow with a conditioner, my daughter say's one of the real advantages to this shampoo is that while she usually washes her hair every day, and obviously sheds a ton of hair daily, this product allowed her to go 3 days without washing her hair and says she could actually have gone longer, this in itself is slowing down the shedding process. Said to stimulate the follicles to produce a clean scalp and hair growth, that will be the tingle :)

These products are not tested on animals.

FolliOne Shampoo For Hair Growth / FolliOne DHT Scalp Therapy

FolliOne DHT Scalp Therapy for Men.

The packaging reads, not to be used by women, but I was assured that it was safe and the product package was designed with men in mind.

A spray pump bottle of liquid that is labelled for men that claims to;

Regrow Hair with FolliOne Extra Strength Growth Stimulator for Men: Safe Alternative to Minoxidil. Clinical Study Showed 66% Increased Hair Growth in 5 Months, Stronger than 5% Minoxidil Products.

This liquid she found easy to apply with no nasty after effects, she says it didn't look or feel greasy on the hair and in fact no one would know you are using it.

Conclusion: Bearing in mind that it has only been a month, there were definitely results, I am not saying she has Rapunzel length hair now, BUT there are small signs of improvement with the growth of baby hair, and the shedding has definitely minimised, it is recommended to use this on a regular monthly basis, and I can only imagine that the longer you use the products the better the long term result.

Seven Seas Perfect 7 Woman

Hiya Beautiful
As a regular reader of this blog you will know already that I am partial to a supplement, as much as I love my skin care and make up, I do think that if you can work from from the inside you are giving yourself a fighting chance to do all that you can to look after yourself.

With that in mind I am just at the end of a four week course of taking Seven Seas Perfect Woman 7, designed specifically to work on the seven things most important to us as we age.

Seven Seas Perfect 7 Woman

Containing;

Zinc for skin and nails
Biotin for Hair
Magnesium for energy
Vitamin B2 for eye health
EPA & DHA for heart health
Vitamin B6 for Hormonal activity.

Seven Seas Perfect 7 Woman

Plus Natural Source Marine Oil with Omega 3

The one month pack contains 30 tablets of vitamins and minerals plus 30 tablets of Marine Oil. A complete one month supply.

Do I feel better for taking them ? not really, BUT I do feel better for knowing that I am giving my body all of these vitamins and minerals that diminish with age. I think we owe it to ourselves to at least try and look after our bodies from the inside, bearing in mind you only get one :)

I have just discovered these at a ridiculously cheap price on a Black Friday deal. saving over £4.00 per pack, could well be worth stocking up.

Hope Fashion

Is this not the perfect Christmas Day dress from Hope Fashion ?

Hiya My Loves

I am really hoping that you have never heard of Hope Fashion ( unlikely) but I am so excited about this brand I want to share something new with you.

Here's the thing, when was the last time you bought something that you 100% knew was going to be the very best quality, would fit perfectly without hesitation and was probably more comfortable than sitting around in your dressing gown ? my guess is never !
I love clothes but hate shopping, having put on **** amount of pounds this last year, through medical steroids and over eating I have to admit to not being very happy with my weight and shape, in truth, nothing new there, after hitting 30 it has been a constant battle. Buying clothes has become a bit of a hit and miss affair for me with more misses than hits if I am honest, and what is designed to make you feel good often has the complete opposite effect and leaves you feeling fat n frumpy.

Hope Fashion Tube Skirt

In steps Hope to the rescue, before I send you dashing off to have a look at the website, I want to just simply give you the reasons why I love the brand so much. I started out with a couple of basics from Hope in the form of a pair of black leggings and a long tube skirt, OK I can hear you yawning and thinking .......and ? well these are not just any old leggings or any old skirt, they are honestly the MOST comfortable items I own currently, the idea of the tube skirt for me, was not to wear as an actual skirt, although of course you could, with having a lil extra junk in the trunk I like to keep it covered, and this skirt pops over leggings and covers and lumps and bumps that you may want to keep hidden, the fabric is so smooth, stretchy and thick it act's as a smoother, not sure if that is actually a word, but that's what it does, smooths and flatters, you can wear it, long, mid length or as I often do, doubled over, or just ruched as an over leggings mini, while talking of leggings, you will never ever experience comfort like a pair of Hope leggings, again they have the ability to look smooth, non see through like many often do, and just fit perfectly.

Hope Fashion Leggings Grey

Hope Fashion Leggings Black

When it comes to fit, Hope really do have this one in the bag, they don't believe one size fits all, or that we should be defined by a number, nope, with hope you get three sizing options that are just flipping perfection, so if you gain a bit or lose a bit you don't need to go out and buy new clothing.

They do say we should have wardrobe staples, well these two items from Hope have definitely become mine, once something is this comfortable and easy to wear, why wouldn't you keep reaching for it ?

Hope Fashion Drape Jersey Top

I also have the Drape Jersey Top in Grey Marl, that just pops over, again covering the junk and is just the most comfortable thing on the planet to wear. This clothing is just so easy to wash and wear, it comes up like new with every wash and no colour fading.

I have nothing but 100% praise for this Company, from ordering to confirmed delivery dates and times, to wearing and washing, it is all a sheer joy.

Murad Invisiblur Protecting Shield

Who knew that one product could do so much ?

Murad, that's who..when they launched this little bottle of goodness I wonder if they knew it would turn into an award winner.

Winner of Best Primer - Best Beauty by Stylist' awards 2016

Winner of Best Every Day Sun Protection - Best Beauty by Stylist' awards 2016

Winner of Beauty Breakthrough - Beauty Shortlist Award 2016

Winner of Best New Skincare Product - Pure Beauty Awards 2015

Murad Invisiblur Protecting Shield

You can read my previous thoughts on Murad skincare HERE

Murad Invisiblur Protecting Shield offers multiple benefits making it really good value for money overall.

Blurring effect to minimise the look of fine lines and pores.

Broad spectrum SPF 30 saving the use of additional SPF creams

Shitake Mushroom and Mucor Miehei Peptides to stimulate collagen production in the skin.

Barley, Sunflower and Cucumber extracts are used to enhance the skin's ability to attract and retain moisture by mimicking the skin's membrane structure.

Murad Invisiblur Protecting Shield

This really is much much more than a simple blurring product which is usually purchased as an add on to your skincare routine, It works well alone or over your usual skincare, leaving the skin literally feeling like silk with an even smooth matte base for foundation, no need for primer, I found that as my skin is mature and tends to err on the dry side, I needed moisturiser underneath to make the effects last all day and simply used Murad Perfecting Day Cream, so my skincare for the day was complete in two simple steps, if you are someone that wants great looking skin without all the faff of layering multiple products then this is definitely for you. It is both a time and money saver, I personally love it ! I am actually desperate to use this on my next Summer holiday, how perfect to have a matte finish face with complete SPF coverage, instead of a shiny greasy face by the pool :)

Murad is one of those brands that you just know you can trust and put complete faith in, no frills, bells or whistles are needed with this brand, you know where you are with every product.

Liquid Exfoliating Toners Three of the best.

Do you use a Toner ? not a toner in the sense of the ones we were sold as part of a three step beauty routine, cleanse/ tone /moisturise. I personally don't think these type of toners ever did anything damp cotton wool pad couldn't do, but we all used them, and some people still do and that's great if it works for you, things have moved on in leaps and bounds in terms of toners/tonics and the new wave are much much more in terms of skincare than a wipe over with a damp perfumed pad.

Containing round breaking acids that will exfoliate dead skin cells with a sweep leaving fresher, younger looking and feeling skin, once you have tried these, I promise you will become addicted to waking up with fabulous feeling skin.

PLEASE always use SPF when using these toners, your skin will need extra protecting from the rays.

Dermalogica Best Selling Skin Brightenting Duo Skincare Gift Set

Dermalogica Skin Brightening Duo

Hiya Darlins

The big C day is edging closer and I have been very good and been cracking on with the prezzie shopping, fortunately for me it is mostly females that I have to buy for, the men are just hard work and boring :)

I have real mixed feelings about gift sets, I actually quite like to receive them and love buying them as they are usually so gorgeous looking, yes yes I am a packaging lover, but I always feel on giving them the the recipient of said gift box must think there is no thought gone into the gift, and that I have run into Boots and grabbed a bunch of buy 2 get one free boxes.

Dermalogica Skin Brightening Duo

With that all said, how much flipping joy would a decent gift set bring you ? especially as they can turn out to be really good value when compared to the individually prices items, I often think it's worth buying them for yourself around Christmas time. Which brings me onto this fabulous cleansing set from Dermalogica, containing full size 74 grams Daily Microfoliant and 150ml full size pre cleanse, I don't need to sing the merits of the products here as I have previously tried and tested both of them individually Here and Here both are absolute winners in my book,and this gorgeous Christmas gift pack provides you with the ultimate double cleanse.

Available HERE or from Dermalogica Direct. Well worth checking out the other Limited Edition Gift Sets from Dermalogica.

Dresses

Hi My Loves

There is something really unusual about a company that is British, well not so much that it's British more the fact that it truly British in every sense of the word, the products are made here in the UK, by real seamstresses, the customer service is what you would hope for, I say hope for as unfortunately nowadays we cannot expect good customer service as standard !

Tee Shirts and Tops

At David Neiper, you deal with real people, on a real phone, not some call centre halfway across the world. They produce a complete range of British made women's clothing, nightwear, and much more. This is English heritage at it's best, the company do have a retail shop in Derbyshire which was visited by HRH The Princess Royal on their 50th Anniversary, 2016 celebrated the 55th year of the business, on visiting you are able to go behind the scenes to actually see the garments being made, have a coffee in the coffee shop, and discuss your needs in person.
A huge range of sizes from 10-26 they are also able to adjust garments for you.

I personally think it really is a mark of service to have maintained a quality business in this day and age in spite of the doom and gloom that has surrounded retail over the past years, which to my mind proves that quality and service will always stand the test of time.

On browsing the website I particularly fell in love with what I call old fashioned real PJ's, I have wanted something like this forever and especially being 100% cotton they will take care of the warmer tropical moments some of us tend to experience ! moving on, something else I was particularly impressed with was the range of lingerie especially the fact that they supply post surgery bra's, the reason I say this is, having experienced the nightmare of finding them for my Mum, had I have known of David Nieper I could of actually spoken to someone in person, which would have been lovely.

Prestige Flowers

Hello My Loves

Is there anything nice than a knock on the door with a flower delivery ? I can't think of anything that is a better surprise.

I had such a surprise recently from a company I had not heard of before Prestige Flowers. A Knock on the door by the Postman with a huge cardboard box, funnily enough he said with a cheeky wink "Oh someone loves you " to which I probably mumbled something LOL

On opening the box, not only was I presented with the most sunning display of hand tied Roses the package also included some Belgium chocs and a vase wrapped carefully in bubble wrap, how handy is that ? of course I had vases in the house but I think it's a flipping fantastic touch especially if you were sending to a man, or wanted a flower delivery to a hotel or office.

So there I was with my flowers, vase, chocolates and flower food, I don't need to tell you how happy this sight made me ! Currently on offer you would get all of this excl vase for around 25.00 delivered ! that's just crazy, if you wanted to add the vase it's an additional 5.99 I have to admit to being seriously impressed, I have only just on writing this post checked out the website, as I like to form an unbiased opinion before writing, and I admit to being 100% shocked by the prices.

I have also had the pleasure of a Luxury Bouquet from Prestige in the form of their Haute range. New York Rose and Orchid hand tied at £40.00 which was mind blowing in it's peachy gorgeousness.

At these prices you could even treat yourself once in a while, open the door with a surprised face and sit back and enjoy a cuppa, your chocs and your flowers :)

Micheline Arcier NEW Tonique Bath and Body Oils

Hiya Gorgeous

How do you fancy pure and utter relaxation ? can't hear anyone saying no !
As you know this is not my first time featuring the famous Aromatherapy Brand Micheline Arcier you can read my previous thoughts here .

Tonique is a brand new range designed to uplift your spirits and senses giving you a brighter more balanced start to the day. It is said to be ideal for those experiencing jet lag and to improve circulation and cellulite while detoxifying the body. The key elements to this range are Rosemary known for it's ability to clear "Mind Muddle" Lemongrass the quintessential circulation booster and Sage with it's warm comforting properties to sooth mind and body.

Micheline Arcier NEW Tonique Bath and Body Oils

My personal favourite are the Bath & Shower Crystals, I do love exfoliation and these are so natural they do a fabulous job without stripping the skin, you can also pop a sprinkle into a warm bath for relaxation. This time around I did something a little bit different with these, not sure it's the right thing to do, but it worked beautifully for me, after actually getting clean in the shower, I mixed a handful of Bath & Shower Crystals with a few drops of Tonique Body oil and massaged the crystals all over, oh my lord it was sheer bliss, my skin was left super smooth, free from yukky dead cells and totally glowing with moisture.

The correct method, is to use a handful of crystals to exfoliate, rinse, pat the skin dry and while it is still warm apply your body oil. These products go an incredibly long way, you literally only need one tiny cap of the bath oil to fill your whole bathroom and possibly the upstairs of your home with a fragrance that will have you taking full deep breaths just to enjoy it, adding body oil to warm skin really makes it go a long way, just wrap up in a fluffy gown for a few minutes to let all the goodness soak in.

Aquis Hair Lisse Luxe Hair Turban

Hiya Lovelies

Sometimes in life along comes something that you had never thought you needed, something that changes what we are used to into something you wondered how you did without, I feel like that about my apple corer and slicer.......I digress

Aquis Hair have given me something I didn't know I needed and now won't be without.

I am now the proud owner of An Aquis Hair Lisse Luxe Hair Turban in the shade Cloudberry :) it also comes in other colours. I can hear you thinking, what is she on about it's a hair towel........oh no my sceptical friend, this is not just any old hair towel......plays M & S music it is an AQUIS hair turban.
We have all heard about the damage we cause to our hair when it's wet, and yes we have all ignored the warnings, wrapped it up as tight as possible in a terry towel secured it as tight as possible so it didn't fall into the sink when you are brushing your teeth ( or is that just me? ) forget the raging headache we are literally pulling out hair out at the roots, stretching the hair - boings back-creates frizz ( simples)

This magic turban has the ability to literally whip your hair up into a neat gentle turban, yes it has it's own button doncha know, while literally drinking up water, resulting in a much faster drying time and less frizz.............confession time, I am a nightmare with heated hair tools, I blast the shizz out of my hair with the dryer usually from sopping wet and then I abuse the poor stuff even more with the hot straighteners, the things we do eh ? LOL

When I tested out this Aquis Turban I was taking no prisoners, it promised to reduce frizz so I decided to see how my hair was left to dry naturally, now there is no way on this green earth that I could ever leave the house without running the GHD's through, but lets see.

After wrapping and buttoning, I was already looking gorgeous like a film star, not really I looked like someone wearing a turban, BUT my hair was not dripping down my face or neck, and staying in place, I literally left the towel on for about 15 minutes and my hair was............ wait.........not dripping, and felt as though it had had a good old towel dry, dare I say damp.

I left it alone having just run my fingers through it, no products, just a rough styling with my hands. within an hour my hair was dry, my porous over coloured head would usually not dry overnight if left to it's own devices, so this was pretty much a miracle, I could open the door to the postman, even maybe pop to the shop without a hot hair tool ever being plugged in.

The company are so confident you will love their products they offer this challenge.

TAKE OUR #3HAB CHALLENGE
& SEE RESULTS IN JUST 3 WEEKS.

Buy a Hair Towel/Turban and use
for 3 weeks after every wash

(WARNING: You're going to love it)

Just like my apple corer you will wonder how you lived without one.

Rush East Grinstead

Hiya Darlins

I was lucky enough to be invited along to the opening of the new Rush Hair Salon in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

On driving through the High St to the car park, the street was filled with onlookers, well wishers and even the Mayor ! This was my first visit to a Rush Salon so had no idea what to expect in terms of layout, service or products, which was great actually as I had no pre conceived ideas, The layout of the salon is beautiful, with it's grey panelling and flattering lighting
( unusual for a hair salon ) it felt uber clean and modern.

Jess & Hannah

Franchisee’s Hannah & Jess, have both been with the company for four years, they started at Rush together, the 24 year olds are best friends and now have their very own salon, Jess was a delight to talk to, giving me the lowdown on their careers with the company and explaining how Rush are totally focused on progression in every way.

I was presented with the little tray of delights, while Jess discussed what I wanted for my hair, I didn't want the style changed, but I do have quite a tricky cut which is easy to get wrong, I was led over to the basins where the magic began, Kerestace products were used and a deep conditioning massage treatment almost sent me into a deep sleep.

The salon use Kerestace, L'Oreal Professional and Redken products, they use all GHD styling products themselves and have a fabulous range of GHD on sale with some gorgeous Limited Edition Christmas sets.

While Jess was busy cutting my hair it gave me a chance to look around and see what everyone else was up to, with 6 staff and an opening day the salon was packed, but full of smiling faces with a great buzz in the air. With my cut & Blow dry complete I was delighted with the condition and shine that has been produced from the treatment, and the cut itself was excellent.

Colour Mix Station

Rush East Grinstead are currently running an opening offer of 50% off all list prices, you can book either online or by phone Using CODE RUSH50 Phone
