Our turn to shine

What do Lea Michele and Olivia Palermo have in common? The most enviable glossy locks. In fact, when I think shiny hair, their names come immediately to my mind. I don't know the secret to their shiny tresses but today I've heard of a brand new product and on special offer which aims to just do that: making your hair looking super shiny.





It looks like it’s going to be your typical pack of hair colour to do at home but it’s not. it's called 'Shine On Original Conditioning Hair Glaze' and it's a Professional Conditioning Treatment with collagen using salon glazing technique for home use.

What technique is that?

Glazing is the technique used by top colourists to provide a dazzling high shine to the tresses of their celebrity clients. With the launch of Shine on, Scott Cornwall is bringing the secret technique of the stars to your home. The first of its kind to launch in the UK, this protein rich conditioning hair glaze contains diamond clear colour molecules for a lustrous high shine that lasts for up to 24 washes

Without the need for cuticle coating serums, sprays or colour change, Shine On takes 20 minutes to apply and develop. Containing no ammonia or harsh chemicals it uses an extra mild developer for increased hydration and protection of the hair cortex.

 
Sounds promising but how much does it cost, will you ask? It would usually retail at £12.99 at Boots but they have a special offer at the moment (1/3 on selected Scott Cornwall hair care) so you can get it at £8.66.





Lea and Olivia: sorry loves, but it's my turn to shine, now

A younger looking skin in 30 days?

I don't go to the beautician very often (twice a year maybe?) but when I do when I like to treat myself with a micro dermabrasion treatment (around £30). Money doesn't grow on trees so I'm always on the lookout for exfoliation products to try at home in between my beautician treats.



I've seen this kit today and I'm getting all excited, as excited as I was when they first started to release micro dermabrasion kits to use as home. It's a glycolic acid 30-day treatment and it's from The Sanctuary, a brand I know I won't have any problems sourcing and that even my rubbish Boots shop will have. The name is ever so pretentious, it's called 'the 30 Day Youth Revolution' but I really want to try it.

It's a two-part treatment system (£22.50) which combines a skin renewal Glycolic Peel-off Mask and anti wrinkle Serum which promises to reveal, used on a daily basis, over a period of 30 days to reveal younger, smoother and brighter skin.







They could have maybe chosen an older model in the video but other than that I am really tempted: The peel off mask is only to be used twice a week and it's the serum that they use every day, which I should be able to manage. Santa, if by any chance you're reading, you know what to do...
