I’m currently trialling some very exciting new products from Color WOW and I thought I’d share them with you. The brand was created by the co founder of the John Frieda company so you’re already interested, right? Well just wait, it’s formulated to address problems to specific to frizzy and blonde hair.. that’s me on both counts! The idea is that by using these products you hair colour can WOW 365 days a year and gimmick or not they hooked my in there.

The colour security shampoo and conditioner were nice but didn’t feel like anything special in my hair, whether they are keeping my highlights look fresher for longer I don’t know but I’ll keep using them in the hope that they are. The Brass Banned (clever, huh?) correct and perfect mousse was something I wasn’t sure I’d use.. I like the idea that it’s violet toned to minimise brass but I never used mousse that often.. however since I’ve had it I’ve made the effort to use it every time I blow dry may hair and I’ve seen a difference in the staying power of my style without the feeling of any product in my hair at all.. so if you’re scared of the icky sticky texture as I was this was a very pleasant surprise. Lastly the Root Cover Up for blonde hair.. this is so exciting it might deserve its own post but it’s basically an eyeshadow for your roots

Don’t you just hate looking at your scalp.. yeugh.. anyway I packed it on here because I wasn’t sure how well it would show up in camera but as you can see the golden powder has done a darn good job of disguising my roots on the left.. it looks a bit odd in this picture but it’s an extreme close up, it actually looks very natural from a regular angle but obviously I would use less day to day. If you’re a bottle blonde this is definitely something that could save your hair between colouring and perhaps even put off doing your roots for a little while longer than usual. A great little compact to keep  in your bag that’s for sure!

Overall Color WOW is an exciting new brand that I’m very excited to see more from, online here

First and foremost, these aren’t mine.. I wish they were and I’m tempted to buy myself a pair but they’re a gift for my long suffering husband who puts up with my many trips to Boots. As I’m planning a luxe purchase for myself very soon I decided to buy him a little something special too. As I write this he hasn’t seen them yet and I know for a fact he will say I shouldn’t have bought them but I know he will appreciate them regardless of his initial horror at the price.. we’re Primark folk! Anyway.. that’s not why you’re hear, you want to hear about these freaky folding glasses, right?

I first saw them online and thought they were a bit of a gimmick but perhaps good for those with small children as they tend to bend the unbendable where as these are designed to fold very small. I wasn’t sure about the durability and most importantly whether they would fold up while you were wearing them so while we were shopping last weekend we popped in to the Sunglass Hut and took a look at them. I made Lee try them on of course.. sly but in doing so he did spot the astronomic SH price #fail so when I do give them to him I will have to be clear I got a much better deal. They feel really well made and even when folded they’re pretty robust, definitely not as flimsy as my many highstreet pairs so I decided they were worth the money and bought them. I can’t yet tell you he loves them of course but I had a go with my makeup free face (apologies) and once the Louis Vuitton dust has settled I may make a sneaky purchase and get a pair of my own.

I never thought I suited the Wayfarer style and always go for the Aviators but I just can’t buy designer Aviators.. they would surely break within half an hour, no? This was something I asked twitter recently and surprisingly many of you told me they too are very durable but if I was going to buy myself a pair they would have to be sturdier than fine metal.. I’m just a clumsy person. Luckily Lee is much more careful and in our new care he has a nice little sunglasses case built into the roof on his side so he will finally have reason to use it!

The gap for the hinge is very tight so when you’re wearing them it’s not visible unless someone’s seriously inspecting your face (why?) yet they collapse and put away in this tiny square case.. madness! The Sunglass Hut are selling these for £170.00 but I got Lee’s for £130 from Very.co.uk here and you can definitely get them for cheaper still but when I’m spending £100+ I like to know the retailer and am always nervous buying from places like Amazon so I bought from Very who I basically buy everything from because you get Boots points… and I just realised I didn’t sign in to get them for these DAMNIT!
