Just before I get into this review and latest installment of my hair care series I will tell you now this is a rave review and this product has changed my life and I genuinely cannot live without it, I can prove this as I recently left this at fellow blogger and friend Miss Charl's  house and after two days without it I purchased another as I simply could not cope without it.  I need to thank my 11 year old cousin for introducing me to this wonder if it wasn't for this little lady I wouldn't own one.

This is off course the famous

Tangle Teezer

 Where did the Tangle Teezer come from and who invented it?

This amazing device was invented by a man, yes a man who obviously is a good man that cares about our tresses.  Shaun P had worked in the hair industry for years and was constantly witnessing assistants hacking through freshly washed hair with a comb, he realised there was a calling for a detangling tool that didn't lock in tangles.

Shaun took his invention to Dragon's Den and and unfortunately the Dragons declared themselves out and did not invest, branding the Tangle Teezer a 'hair brained idea'.  Fortunately for us suffering the trauma of tangles Shaun began marketing the product himself and sales soon took off.  With lots of awards and recognition in magazines this became the best selling hairbrush in the UK.  With new designs being added to the collection all the time this is a huge success story and one that genuinely makes me smile, silly dragons bet you they kick themselves now.

Why does it work like no other?
This is all down to the teeth.  Specifically spaced and designed teeth.  Teeth that glide through tangles without pulling or getting caught.  This really does just smooth through wet hair with no tugging or discomfort meaning  very little damage to your locks.

I use this on my wet hair, dry hair when doing up do's pretty much anything with my hair this gets some attention, it has changed my hair life and my hair loves it.  I didn't believe a hairbrush could make such a difference to the condition to my hair but this really has, I really will have one of these forever.

I bought this at my local boots store and it was around £11, the best pounds I have ever spent, but you can get this and all the other colours and designs on the official website Here

Lots of Love

I have been extremely lucky on my birthday and recieved some lovely gifts and money, All of these 'presents' im about to show you I purchased with money I recieved.  These are all things I have been lusting after for a while now so I am delighted I now own them.

 

This week I will show you all the beauty products, next week clothes and accessories, the week after anything that doesnt fit into a category and then finally jewellery.

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

L-R Lovie Dovie, Pillow Talk, True Love

I have wanted to try out Essie for ages and when I seen all 3 of these for only £7 in Tk Maxx I had to have them, I have been wearing Lovie Dovie for nearly a week now and Im soo in love its the perfect Autumn shade, the glossy red wine finish goes with everything im wearing at the moment.

 

 The Body Shop Strawberry set

Ever since trying my first body butter from The Body Shop last month I am obsessed, so when I seen I could get £10 off my next purchase over £25, on the bottom of my reciept, this little set was a must.  There is £32 worth of products including soap, body polish, shower gel, shower puff and body butter and I got all this for only £15 such a bargain. The scented products from body shop are just delicious, this strawberry is soo yummy I just want to smell of it all the time and with all these products that wont be too difficult.

The Body Shop Body Butters Raspberry and Papaye
Well done to Adam for choosing he two scents I wanted next the raspberry is beautiful and smells fresh and sweet all at the same time it reminds me of summers as a child picking raspberries in the bushes and running home to show my mum.  The papaye is actually being disscontinued so I am over the moon adam got this for me before it was unavailable in store, it is such a tropical scent and makes me feel so fresh and clean.  So impressed that he even knew where to go to get these.
Paco Rabanne Lady Million
This was the first perfume Adam ever bought me over two years ago, we had known each other only a week and he left this in my house one day with a note saying 'because you are one in a million' ever since that moment I have loved it.  Paco Rabanne is definately my favourite perfume brand, Black XS is also a favourite of mine.  This was a very thoughtful present so thank you very much adam!

Elf  10 piece Professional Brush Collection

Lately I have been building up my brush collection and now have lots of different brands including Eco Tools, Real Techniques and Mac which are all higher in price than these, I got this set for £7.99 from TK Maxx and for the price the quality is fantastic.  I am loving the angled blush brush, flat eyeliner brush and the all over shadow brush.

 

 Elf  Tone Correcting Powder, Mineral Infused Face Primer, Make up Mist & Set, Lip primer & Plumper and Eye primer & Liner Setter.

I have wanted these products for so long but truthfully I was waiting for a discount code so when I seen their was 20% off the other day I rushed home and ordered.  I got all this for £17.85 including delivery which is amazing! This primer is just excellent I may have found a replacement for my Revlon Colourstay but time will tell, expect a full review in a few weeks.

 

 L-R Real Techniques Stippling Brush, Soap and Glory Heel Genius, Soap and Glory Wish Upon a Jar, Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub, Soap and Glory Hand Food and Tangle Teezer.

If you read my Birthday Wishlist you will see that  am very hapy lady.  I eventually got the lusted after Stippling Brush and I dont know how I have lived without it until now, the application of my foundation has never been more flawless £11.99 well spent.  TheSoap and Glory heel genious is definately my new favourite foot cream at £5.50 it is more pricey than Id normally pay but smells lovely.  I have wanted to try the Wish Upon a Jar ever since I watched Maria Sparkle's brand favourites video and it has not let me down, I wont say much on this because I will review it fully, £15 of goodness. I basically picked Hand Food because it was 3 for 2 in boots so this was technically free and my hand bag size is running low. I have seen the Lush Lip Scrubs reviewed positively so many times I decided I needed to join in the hype, for £5.95 a wee treat for my lips.  I love my tangle teaser and defiantely one of my hair essentials, I have my 10 year old cousin to thank for getting me obsessed with buying one of these the most Iv ever spent on a brush at £10.99. Everything except the lip scrub was purchased in boots so I got a decent amount of points.
 

L-R Mac Studio Fix Fluid, Dazzleglass Lipgloss 'Date Night' and Minerlise Skinfinish Highlighter 'Soft and Gentle'

Adam Bought me these after my make up application at the Mac counter in Selfridges (which unfortunately was a disaster you can read here why) I have wanted to try a new foundation for ages and when I had this applied I knew I liked it staright away.  Tell me a girl who doesnt love a sparkly lipgloss, no one okay then, this is going to look gorgeous with all the deep plum lipsticks this autumn.  Soft and Gentle need I say more, one of the most beautiful highlighters I have ever layed eyes on.  All these came to the total £59.00 but this did include my Make Up Application, since there was an issue with my make up application I have since been refunded the full amount.

 



 L-R Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer, Benefit 10, Revlon Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake and MAC 275SE
I bought all these for £10 including p+p from Bright Town Girl's Blog Sale,  I am delighted with the Benefit 10 it has hardly been used and is in perfect condition, so thanks very much hunni.

Thats all for beauty products so if you have stuck with me until the end thank you very much because that was one long post, do you own any of these products?

Lots of Love

I am Super excited, there is no way I am going to sleep tonight because tomorrow I am 21, I have always been excited about my 21st for no reason in perticular other than its the last special birthday before the big three zero.   Along with the excitement comes worrying because what if all the hype for a 21st birthday is just that, what if its just like any other birthday. Im sure my family and friends will do there best to make it as good as can be.

I would like to make sure everyone is aware that I would be happy with any presents and cards that I recieve these are just things I have been lusting over and will be purchasing with any money I recieve, I have also been selling things on ebay to raise funds for a birthday shopping trip next Saturday.

I have already recieved a present from my boyfriend, the Blackberry 9320, he gave this to me early as my phone died and went to phone heaven on Monday night so obviously it would have been cruel to have me without a phone for a week.(hehe)










Id love either of these charms as its something I will keep forever and ever.

I have wanted to try the stippling brush from the  Real Techniques range for ages now but Im sure I wont just stop at one.

Jinkksy Jinkksy Jinkksy need I say anymore I love all of the summer stackers and even though this was from the summer range it will be perfect with a lot of jewellery I have.

 I have recently stepped into the world of Soap and Glory and after smelling this in Boots its the perfect fresh daytime scent.
 

 

 This is all im really really wishing for but im sure as soon as I hit the shops I will come home with lots more:)

lots of love

Gemma

p.s next time I post ill be 21....ahhhh :)
