Hot on the Highstreet Week 141

Bumble and Bumble are my newest beauty addiction. Over the last year I’ve heard about this fashionable hair brand more and more, and now Boots are stocking the collection. However it was my trip to the Windle and Moodie salon last month that secured my obsession.

After experiencing the products in and out of the salon, I can truly vouch for this brand. Versatile and hair friendly the B&B products ensure delicious smelling, salon slick hair all the time. The products are a stylist’s dream. Indeed the company was founded with session stylists’ needs in mind. The range allows you to be creative as the products are very flexible and light and can be layered on top of each other and can be washed out easily and instantly. Used often on shoots and fashion shows, costumers can have catwalk ready hair on location.
I have tried a range of products to use for your daily hair routine from start to finish…

Bb gentle shampoo and conditioner: Brilliant everyday shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo is kind on all hair types and should only be needed once, the conditioner is luxuriously rich and creamy and adds gorgeous shine. For the best results leave the conditioner in your hair for a minute or two before washing out.

Bb texture hair undressing creme: This clever creme added amazing volume to my hair. Just work gently through damp hair and ruffle until you have achieved the desired effect. It leaves your hair smelling delicious too.

Bb brilliantine: This is best used very sparingly… you only need to scrunch through a tiny amount to damp or dry hair to give your hair the messy, slept-in look. Apparently you can use with styling wax to add more hold.

Bumble surf spray: this product is advertised everywhere, and many girls can’t live without it. The ideal spray for creating the much desired summer beachy look. I found this spray incredibly quick and easy to use, and effective on either towel dried or dry hair to separate and style tired and bored locks.

Bumble and Bumble semisumo: The whole B&B range is unisex but I reckon this product would be particularly good for men. The semisumo only launched a few weeks ago, and as part oil, part wax is a great lo-hold, hi-shine pomade. Perfect for taming unruly hair and correcting the direction of shorter cuts.

Professional and fun Bumble and Bumble are the best of both worlds. A brand to definitely get on board with.

Hot on the Highstreet Week 133

For me the little details at Christmas lunch matter immensely… enough roast potatoes, my dad’s delicious creamy cheesy leeks and plenty of crackers to add excitement round the table. We’ve tried ‘make your own’ crackers before, but knowing all the gifts inside slightly taints the surprise. For Christmas 2012 I was delighted to discover my favourite jewellery designers Tatty Devine have brought out a set of ‘make your own jewellery’ deluxe crackers.

The Tatty Devine pack includes six luxury Christmas crackers with everything you need for the ultimate crafty Christmas. Each cracker features a different perspex shape. Pull the crackers to discover chains, jump rings and instructions to make the shapes into six necklaces. Included are jewellery-making pliers to share and jewellery boxes, and of course the traditional party hat and joke!

These handmade crackers will add colour and excitement to any Christmas meal and will bring family and friends together. Although they are pricey (£75 for six), considering the worth of the gifts inside it is well worth the cost. These crackers would be perfect for a girly Christmas dinner… forget the presents and instead pull the Tatty Devine crackers to reveal six easy to make, fun designs to make your very own necklaces.
