REVIEW: TANGLE TEEZER

I have fairly curly hair with fine texture. I have also colored my hair and my cut is way overdue, which means my hair is not exactly loving me right now. It is dry, damaged and always tangled up. Above picture is my hair in its natural state after two days of being tied up in a bun. I do straighten my hair once a week so my hair is a bit manageable, but running a brush through this mess is not fun. Tangles have pretty much turned into knots at this point and I break a lot of my hair when I do try to brush out the tangles and knots. 

I decided to give the "Tangle Teezer" a try because I figured I have nothing to lose. It comes with a cover so it is great for travel and even throwing it my gym bag. It retails for about $25 CAD at Sephora. Because my hair is pretty long and I have a LOT of it, it took me about 5 mins to sort through the mess that is my hair. However, I did notice my hair didn't break as much, and tangles were coming apart quite easily. The brush is shallow so it sorts through one layer at a time, which takes a bit longer but it is much more gentle on your hair. I was able to run my hands through my hair without any discomfort.

Above is my "after" picture, my hair is obviously still wavy, but the hair is separated nicely. I was able to do an up do with no issues after that! In other words I highly recommend this product for anyone with problem hair like mine. It is so gentle on your hair comes in a cute compact shape! Here is the direct link for the Tangle Teezer! It comes is so many pretty color as well!

Kat Von D lipstick review

I recently purchased the Kat Von D lipstick set from Sephora. I got something similar last year, but colours were so much more vibrant in this collection so I caved and treated myself! Not only that, I have convinced two of my cousins, and a few co-workers to buy it too! I love the new matte formula, and the colours are very long lasting. Did I mention the lipsticks smell like creme brulee!
I find it difficult to explain the exact  colour of lipsticks, especially how it will look on the lips, so I did what I do best, colour match with Pantone! It shows the true shade of the lipstick without having to try it on. And yes, one of them is Purple.
I am very happy with the staying power and over all creamy and matte texture. A great gift for anyone, especially those who are afraid to try colours. It is a great value and get rainbow of shades that will last a while!

(See below for the colour details)
 

I chose the 7 shades that are different and more wearable

Countess (matte hot orange red), Agatha (matte pale peach nude), Sexer (iridescent fluorescent pink), Bachelorette (matte reddish fuchsia),  Hexagram (matte blood red), Wonderchilde (iridescent neon lilac) [I left out 1 metallic red, and 1 nude]
