Michel Mercier Detangling Brush Vs Tangle Teezer!!

Hiya Beauties!
Ever herd of Michel Mercier?? I haven't till about 2 months ago!! So i decided to pick my self up a brush from his website: http://www.michelmercier.co.uk/

They have three types, one for  Normal hair, Fine hair and Thick hair..... I have very curly thick hair so my obvious choice was to pick up the Thick hair one, all three are priced at £14.95, a little steep for a hair brush but i went for it any way. In the past i used my Tangle Teezer but found it hard to use as it always slips out my hand and found the the bristles bend very easy so when i saw this brush i was happy to pay the extra for the same concept but with a handle! I must say i LOVE it!!! Its perfect!!!!Easy to use, doesn't rip out loads of hair stimulates hair growth, im sure my hair has grown an inch or more since using it.
This is now the only brush for me, i use my Tangle teezer on my dogs as its soft and doesn't hurt them & great for getting out their dead hair.

Whats you view on the two brushes? Have you tried them both? Let me know!!

The Secret:

"After years of research into the brushing process, the innovative Michel Mercier brush was born. An exclusive patent involving 428 bristles positioned at different heights with a unique geometric distribution, the brush helps to disperse the pressure placed on the hair during brushing, resulting in easier detangling, reduced hair loss and breakage, and a far more pleasant brushing experience overall.

The brush is available in three color-coded models to suit different hair types: fine, normal and thick, so no matter what your type, thanks to this revolutionary brush everyone everywhere can ‘untangle their day’ with the Michel Mercier detangling hairbrush.

For those who know the pain of brushing, look no further. The Michel Mercier Brush works perfectly with all hair types, from dry colour damaged hair to thick European, Afro and Asian hair textures. Gone are the days of tugging until the brush handle breaks, it glides smoothly through wet or dry hair, curly or straight, and is even gentle enough to tackle hair extensions and real or synthetic wigs."

4. Lauren Brooke cosmetics, Bronzer. This is the time of year I search for the bronzer to help me achieve a beautiful sun kissed glow and Lauren's golden bronzer is a must in my makeup bag. I love that it is light and airy and does not turn orange or feel to heavy. This colour works great for creating sun kissed looks on pale skin, a warm glow for natural skin tones and a beautiful highlight for dark skin.

5. Whipped Shea Butter, I am addicted to body butters and I especially love whipped body butters! The whipped butters have a very light and fluffy consistency and Shea Radiance has created a magical recipe containing melon seed oils which quickly absorb into the skin. Rich and easily spreadable, but not at all greasy or heavy. The scent is an amazing blend of essential oils and cozy Indian spices like anise, clove, cardamon, vanilla and black pepper. Meant to give a warm and sweet comforting smell.

6. Raw Honey. Blended from multifloral nectar collected on Fair Trade Cerfified cooperatives. This yummy honey is never heated and pairs perfectly on warm biscuits, in salad dressings, with yogurt or hard cheeses

Each bag is Double the size of most tea-bags and is naturally high in Vitamin C resulting in a fruity Tropical blend that is not only refreshing hot or cold, but is an amazing booster to your body's defence system

Natural Seaweed Body Wash with Eucalyptus and Peppermint combines the naturally nourishing properties of seaweed along with all-natural ingredients, including Kukui which is a potent natural moisturiser and Neem Oil which is known in India to be rich in emollients that help to protect and moisturize your skin. Great for anyone, especially suffers of dry, red, scaling, flaking, or rough skin."

For a sweet treat, the Finishing Sugar is a divine combination of the Gourmet Enhancer and all natural, raw sugar. Finally, satisfy your chocolate craving with their antioxidant rich Gourmet Spiced Chocolate.

Elephant Poo Card

I had to write about this. I was very curious why there was a orange folded paper with a picture of an elephant on it. Reading the card, it describes the killing of elephants for use of land for agriculture in Sri Lanka. If the local inhabitants can find a reason to live with elephants and create a sustainable economic resource, then the killings would stop. Well it turns out elephant dung makes great paper! Elephants eat so much grass, their dung (poo) is very high in cellulose. I never even knew that, and I’m so glad companies like Mr. Ellie Pooh are working with locals to find a sustainable, win-win situation for both the town inhabitants and the local animals. The website sells all sorts of paper and card products, it’s really cool!

March Eco-Emi Box!

Hiya Beauties!
woke up this morning feel very will so when the post man knocked on my door and i saw the little white box in his hands i perked up very quick even tho i couldn't say thank you as i've lost my voice, but by the look on my face i think he got the gest!! I opened it right away, i dont like to look at the card first so i just opened everything first! The small little bag court my eye first....

Vegan Mineral Eye Shadows &Vegan Gel Eyeliner by The All Natural Face: 
This is a great company that offers not only super clean and vegan ingredients, but also has more colors available in their products than I have ever seen! Enclosed are four very different eye shadows in Coral, Purple Sunset, Peach Ice, Warm Honey, Olive U and Rose Gold. These shadows work well with a day or evening look. The shadows are very pigmented so a little goes a long way. Your gel eyeliner is in the color That Black and comes with a cute brush. This is a smudge-proof formula that will stay on until you wash it off and is great for a soft look or a more sophisticated look.

Revitalize Shampoo & Conditioner by Greenbody Greenplanet:
Nourish, protect, hydrate and rejuvenate your hair naturally! Revitalize Shampoo gently cleanses and nourishes your hair without stripping naturally needed oils, while the revitalize conditioner uses sunflower oil, which holds on to moisture, softening the hair and preventing breakage.

Pear Tree Specialty Liquid Soap by Old Post Road Oils:  

This vegan liquid soap is fantastic for washing any part of your body and is perfect for shaving! This is one of the mildest soaps around due to the oils used which were selected because of their fatty acids. They are all soft oils that are very beneficial to the skin and contain great fatty acids. But despite the mildness, it's still a strong, vigorous cleaner. The formula was initially designed for kids with acne, so that it could gently cleanse their faces and lift oils and dirt from their pores without damaging the skin.

Lip tints by Badger: 

Natural Mineral Color and Shimmer! Over the years, Badger had many requests for totally natural tinted lip balms. They have taken their popular and super moisturizing Cocoa Butter Lip Balm formula and added minerals to create four natural colors packed with certified organic ingredients.

Raw Vegan Bars by Bella Bars:  

I LOVE Bella Bars. They are delicious raw vegan delights! You will receive either the Cinnamon or Chocolate bar, both are fabulous! The Bella Cinnamon Bar is the perfect blend of sweet and healthy; the dash of cinnamon gives it a bold cozy flavor. The Bella Chocolate Bar is just the right amount of sweet mixed with rich cocoa powder, giving it a hint of chocolate flavor - without the actual chocolate.

Pomegranate Gum by Vitacare:  

This unique gum is enriched with essential vitamins + calcium to provide you with maximized results while remaining truly natural. Vitacare's great taste sensation is a perfect balance of cool mint freshness and pomegranate richness. Sweet, fruity and minty! I am addicted to this stuff!

Toothbrush by Vitacare:  

Time to recycle your old toothbrush and make way for this fabulous unique toothbrush made from 100% biodegradable and recycled materials. make your teeth whiter and your Earth greener with these brushes. You will receive either the soft or medium bristle brush in a lovely purple shade. Be sure to check out their amazing toothpaste and mouthwash!

Incense by Auromere Ayurvedic:  

I light incense on a regular basis. It's a great way to relax and ground yourself. Made from essential oils, fragrant herbs, powders and resins, ranging from the most heavenly floral fragrances to the down-to-Earth woody and herbal scents of the Ayurvedic preparations, each stick is rolled by hand and packaged in 100% handmade, recycled paper. You will get one surprise scent in either Champa, Cinnamon, Coconut, Gardenia, Musk, Myrrh, Vanilla, Parjata from the Flowers & Spice line or Amber, Cedar, Jasmine, Lavender, Lily, Patchouli, Rose or Sandal from the Aromatherapy set.

Cant wait to try all these new goodies, will let you know how i get on with them.
