REMINGTON | SHINE THERAPY

Wet2Straight Hair Straightener $103.95

The number one selling hair straightener in Australia since 2004, has gotten a revamp. This straightener could potentially steal the holy grail status from the GHD, with its ability to straighten wet hair. This appeals to me, because even though I worship straight hair, I’m not prepared to give up the extra 30 minutes of bed time in the morning. However, this straightener with its wet and dry option, means I can sleep in and still have the time to have fabulous hair. This could change my life as I know it, because we all know, that whenever you sacrifice the time you should be spending on your hair, your day never runs quite right. I can’t wait to get this hot little baby in my hands, for review next month.

Shine Therapy Brushes $14.95 – $19.95

These 6 new brushes use the same technology as the best selling Shine Therapy straightener, to deliver shine and moisture to your hair. The bristles of these brushes have been infused with a micro-blend of conditioners, to help your hair look healthy by simply brushing it.

Having tried the SKII Essence (commonly referred to as “miracle water”), I am considering making it an essential part of my skincare routine, just like Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair. The Essence is dabbed on your skin after cleansing and prior to your moisturiser. Its active ingredient Pitera, helps resurface and balance the skin, leaving it smooth, radiant and luminous. I especially like the water formulation, because I have combination skin and don’t like to use oily or heavy products as they clog up my pores on my t-zone. Of course, like all my favourite products, SKII has science and research behind it.

It was created after Scientists observed that the old Japanese women in a sake brewery had youthful hands, despite having wrinkled faces. After extensive research, they discovered that the ingredient they were dipping their hands into whilst making the sake, was Pitera. 30 years later, SKII is still going strong, and has a devoted celebrity following, including their global ambassador Cate Blanchett who has been using it for over a decade. Cate is well publicised for being anti surgery, which further perpetuates my adoration of this product.

To celebrate their 30th birthday, SKII are releasing a limited edition 250 ml bottle of the Essence in mid February, which will be available from David Jones and Myers nationally.
