Love Rachel Contagious x

I’m addicted to anything sparkly and shiny!!

I’m like a magpie so when we came across Hair Dazzle we couldn’t resist and the best this it goes with our new collection perfectly! We used 2 varying colour - Red and Silver and they glint in the light!

We used them when we shot the new collection and I’m sure you would agree they look fab!

 They are however not too easy to put in you cannot do it yourself I did try and managed to get 2 strands in after about 40 minutes! So I would almost defiantly recommend you get someone to help you. It’s very fiddly and I would also say make sure you have not just washed your hair as it will slide right out.

 They are available to buy from http://www.hairdazzle.co.uk/index.html  each pack has 100 strand which will easilly give you a good 2-3 applications and they are £12.99 a pack.

they do mention that they can last up to 3 weeks but i was my hair everyday so they lasted me the night which is all i would want them to last.

Hair Dazzle really are a salon service and now over 300 salons in the UK offer the service for £1 - £2 per strand. Having it done professionally allows you a nice and easy application

Check out hair dazzle on twitter

Need help applying it then look on you tube for how 2 videos!

They are great for the party season! and would go perfect with any santa outfit! OH SANTA BABY!

I have always been on the bench when it comes to scrubs and body polishes, I never really quite understood the purpose of the product.

My opinion has now done a complete 180 I feel after using this particular brand product a mere 3 times I do believe it's something I can’t live without.

It’s called Balance Me - Skin Brightening Exfoliating Body Polish.

It comes in a pretty blue box and very classic style packaging

The packaging boasts that when you use this product there is no need to moisturise, a point I was very keen to test out as I have dry skin that dries out quickly after being moisturised, so I felt I could put this product to the test.

My goodness I was pleasantly surprised! I ran myself a lovely bath, a preceded to use the polish all over, it smelt DEVINE! You could feel the genital exfoliation of the product when rubbed into the skin and once washed off and i had dried off my skin stayed soft and noticeably moisturised. 

This lasted for hours and hours, I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will defiantly be going on my Christmas list!

You can bag your very own Balance me body polish from the balance me website 

https://www.balanceme.co.uk/

The icing on the cake for me is this product is natural! And available for a mere £15

This pot of polish should last a while as you only need a small amount per area, and a little goes along way!

The exact link for this product is https://www.balanceme.co.uk/bath-body/product-family/skin-brightening/skin-brightening-exfoliating-body-polish-220ml/

I’m defiantly excited about this brand and will be looking for other little gems from their collection to try out! Again might be going on my ever growing Christmas list!

I’m off out for my friend’s birthday meal and this is one of my preparation products, it’s a great tool to keep your skin soft all night long! And I’m off out again Saturday to which I will almost defiantly be using this product! As I will be rocking it in town in my www.contagiousclubwear Rio dress

I’m not a negative person by my god I dislike this product It’s new on the market Vaseline Essential Moisture Oat Body Lotion.

This lotion cost me a mere 91p on offer at Tesco so fortunately it didn’t break the bank

It does have a nice smell the product is pretty worthless as far as far as a lotion is concerned. I needed 3 layers to even feel moisturised and then after 30 minutes I had to use a different moisturiser.

It left my skin feeling dry and horrid.

So to conclude I won’t be re-purchasing this product again
