Beauty Blender vs Dupe

I’ll admit, I was a bit slow to get onto the Beauty Blender Band Wagon, but I’m on it now, and I just ain’t ready to come off! It’s one of my favourite foundation application tools! Although I’ve known about the Beauty Blender for ages, finding one was a different story. I wasn’t in the mood to schlep and import one from overseas . Then, all at once (in the same week actually), I managed to find the original Beauty Blender right here in South Africa, plus a pretty good dupe!

Lee Stafford – Big Fat Healthy Hair Shampoo & Conditioner

Who doesn’t want Big, Fat Healthy Hair? As someone with fairly flat hair, this product appealed to me straight away. The Lee Stafford shampoo and conditioner, My Big Fat Healthy Hair gives hair great volume without weighing it down. It contains the Pro‐Volume™ complex of conditioning agents, that banishes dulling deposits that make hair go lank and limp. To top it off, Panthenol has been added to the mix, to keep hair healthy. I’ve been using this range every day since attending the Lee Stafford launch about two weeks ago. The results have been great, and my hair is shiny with loads of bounce. In between the two, I’ve been using the amazing treatment, Lee Stafford Treatment For Hair That Doesn’t Grow Past a Certain Length. (Read my review on this product here) It looks healthy and sleek, but what I love most about this and all Lee Stafford products in fact, is the gorgeous smell. It’s probably one of the best smelling hair ranges I’ve used. Its not quite perfumey, and it’s not quite herbal. It’s a completely different kind of scent that is present in all Lee Stafford products. Get it Lee Stafford, My Big Fat Healthy Hair…

Lee Stafford Launches in South Africa – Event Pics

Yesterday, I was down in the beautiful city of Cape Town. The reason; to attend the official media lunch of a brand new hair range that’s just hit our shores, and to meet the man himself, Lee Stafford. For those of you that haven’t heard about Lee Stafford, here’s a little insight. Lee Stafford is a UK based, multi-award winning, celebrity hair dresser that started his hair dressing career in his Mom’s dining room. His big break came when he won the Men’s British Hair Dresser of the Year award in 1997. It was there that he met his business partner, Graeme Riddick MD of the Lee Stafford brand and after two years of tough negotiations, Lee finally launched his range into British mega store Boots. After being in Boots for only a few months, sales were down and Lee Stafford was forced to get innovative to double sales. He was given six months. This is when Lee launched POKeR STRAiGHT FLaT iRON PRoTeCTION ShINE MiST into the market. Sales for the Lee Stafford brand trebled almost overnight, with virtually no advertising at all. “The press went crazy” Lee told us, and the Daily Mail also nominated POKeR STRAiGHT FLaT iRON…
