MAKE HAIRCARE

M  A  K  E

Haircare Review!

http://www.makehair.com.au

When it comes to haircare products, I mainly stick to the popular well known budget brands. This is
probably because I am on a mummy budget and luxuries like spending hours on end in hair salons
has long become a thing of the past.

Every now and again a different kind of brand comes along which is completely refreshing, new and
different. This modern brand with it's geometric shaped logo and simplistic packaging is all Aussie
and their website and social media give off that strong laid back, holiday beach vibe. Who doesn't
love that! Sounds relaxing right? I love the whole theme as my hair always needs relaxing and feels
beach dried! Since using this new product range over the past few months my hair looks as though
it has had a bit of a holiday pampering.

Now for the rest of me.... !



M a k e  Hydrated Shampoo

375ml - $21.95

Hydration and moisturise are two words you'd see a lot of if you dare looked into my bathroom
cabinet. These are the kinds of specialities I lean toward when shopping up on hair products.

This slim 375ml bottle is packed full of natural wheat and silk proteins which work to deeply nourish
 hair and bring it back to life. The formula itself lathers up nicely without having to use a massive
amount which I tend to do usually if I find a product not lathering as then I don't feel as though it is
really washing all that oil off the top of my head!

Since using this with other nourishing products from the brand below, my hair is stronger, smoother,
softer, shinier and doesn't smell half bad either!

Now I am just dying to discover the conditioner from the range to complete my  M a k e  collection.


M a k e Sleek Cream

150ml - $21.95

This Sleek Cream is a rich leave in protein treatment for stressed, worn out and split end hair.
With ingredients like Sage, Silk amino acids, Linden, Birch, Yarrow and Hydrolysed wheat protein
which work together in healing damaged, dry hair.

I like this kind of versatile product because I can use it whenever I want no matter if my hair is wet
or dry. No need to think about it, just whenever you feel your hair needs some extra TLC, is feeling
dry or sad you can just work a little bit of this through your hair or even just your ends any time of
the day. This will gives a quick long lasting shot of nourishing protein into your hair follicles
instantly making your hair feel smoother, moisturised and smelling fresh!


M a k e Salty Spray

250ml - $21.95

Growing up on the beaches of FNQ, using this kind of product takes me back to days walking my
dogs along the beaches with crystal clear waters and sand between my toes. Living nowhere near a
beach now a days I really miss it when I think about it! Back then beach hair was my everyday
hairstyle. No product required!

Fast forward about 15 years and to achieve that same look and feel requires a little help from some
great smelling, texturising spray form hair liquid!

Just a few sprays of this throughout my hair and scrunching it through with my hands does the trick
in about one minute. To get even more volume and killer waves the trick is to bend over and throw all your hair over your head then spray the product through and scrunch whilst up-side-down.

 WA-LA! Killer M A K E hair for dayz! :)

ST.TROPEZ



Glowing Summer Skin

With St.Tropez!




Bronzing Mousse
RRP: $19.95 (50ml)
My little 50ml travel size can is perfect for someone like me who doesn't tan year round,
but likes to give it a go every now and again, especially if I'm going out somewhere like the
pool or the beach and don't want to look too much like I live in an igloo!

This Bronzing Mousse comes complete with a pump nozzle which dispenses out around about
a fifty cent size amount of dark brown foam onto your skin. It is recommended to apply this with
a tanning mitt, which I do have, but was too lazy to find, so on this occasion I just used my hands
and well, let's just say now I know why you should wear a tanning mitt because this stuff likes to
turn your hands a toasty shade of black!

Not that I particularly care. I just gave my hands a good wash and scrub and now my hands
are almost back to their original pasty white colour. Besides that, when it comes to the application
and overall finished effect this tanning mousse gives, I rate it rather high! I just rubbed it into my
skin in the recommended circular motion and it blended right in and after a few coats gave me a
gorgeous looking, natural bronze glow as shown in the pic below. :)

Body Polish
RRP: $19.95 (200ml)
My smooth, even, streak free glow wouldn't have been quite as perfect looking if it weren't for
my trusty new Summer companion! The St.Tropez Body Polish preps your skin for tanning
by gently exfoliating the skin with tiny little white circular beads which do not scratch your
 skin resulting in a nice, even, fresh surface for the tan to stick to so it appears nice and smooth.

In addition this also helps to maintain and prolong your tan by evenly scrubbing it off your
skin every few days. So if you're wanting to build up your tan gradually over a few days or weeks
 you can still do that and still have a nice, even surface to apply to each time by using this 24
hours before each tan application. You can even use this on your face to scrub away any dead
skin cells if you like to also tan your face. Just mix a little into a gentle cleanser and use together!

Tip!
Don't forget to moisturise afterwards! This will keep your tan looking fresh and flawless!
Concentrate a little more on the dryer areas of your skin. Knees, elbows, hands and feet
are popular areas for concern. For me, its my back where I tend to get the most dead skin
build up as it's the hardest place to reach when scrubbing!

Is slightly fragranced with a light perfumed scent.

Bonus! 
Paraben & Cruelty Free!

SUNSCREEN IN WINTER



~ Neutrogena Beach Defence ~

Water + Sun Barrier Lotion


You might think me to be a little strange to be writing a post about 
sunscreen when it's the middle of winter, but hear me out as I justify
my crazy ways.

We all know the harmful effects the sun can have on our skin, hair, eyes, etc!
But did you know the sun's most damaging UVA & UVB rays can actually strike you
on cloudy days! So even if it is rain, hail, even snow or shine, we really all
should be lathering up in this stuff year round!

I was fortunate enough as part to Beautyheaven's video trial team to test this 
particular lotion out and I have to say, it has remained a firm favourite for our
whole family. (We're onto our second bottle!)

The bright yellow bottle is just so bright and fun looking, it makes me happy
to look at on those cold winter mornings whilst dreaming about the warm sunshine,
and sand between my toes as I walk along the warm waters edge.....

What I love about this is the super high SPF of 50! With a young family, it is so
important to me to look after them and with this at least I know I am giving them
the best skin protection I can. It is also water resistant for up to 4 hours, which Is
perfect in the warmer months when we're swimming in the pool or at the beach.

The lightweight formula makes it easy to apply and rub in without giving you that
less than appealing white ghost look. It absorbs into the skin quickly and isn't greasy,
nor does it even smell like your typical sunscreen lotion! The scent is more like a
light fragranced moisturiser. 

All pluses with this one, I really cannot fault this product!
A staple I recommend every household should own!
