Atlantis at home hair colour by O&M
I recently bought and tried Atlantis at home hair colour, it's a home colour but different, as it's not full of nasty chemicals that make your eyes hurt and your head itch.
Very easy to use on previouly coloured hair for regrowth or on uncoloured hair.
I bought the shade closest to my own hair colour (Natural Blonde #8)
The instructions are really easy to follow too, the product consists of a powder hair colour, which you add to warm water, shake and apply according to the instruction.
The hair colour can be used as a semi or as a permanent colour, the only thing it wont do is lighten the hair, so choose one that's close to your hair colour or a shade or two deeper.
The thing about most home hair colouring is, that it burns my scalp, Atlantis doesn't!!!
The first photo in the purple dress shows my original hair colour...yeah, it's OK, but not really a shiny colour or anything.
Cut to Atlantis...shine, softness, and more imporntant, no nasty yukky ingrendients, no stinks, no stingy eyes or burning hair, and it doesnt contain any bleach, so you can't really fry your hair off.
The Second photo shows after i used Atlantis, left on as per instructions. I also had pink hair balayage, which it didnt completely cover, but it blends in it real nice. This is also just after shampooing and conditioning with O&M and no blow dry.
I can't tell you too much about the ingrendients IN IT, or what they leave out, as I'm not a hairdresser, but DAMN girlfriend, it's good!
I believe Atlantis Water Colour Home hair colour retails for around $26.
I got mine at the Natural Marketplace in Rozelle.
PS, you can also buy this colour in a clear gloss to add shine to the hair at ANYTIME you want :)

Mira's Hand Pure Argan Oil review
I am a follower of a few nieche beauty brands on twitter, and couldnt pass up the opportunity when offered by Mira's Hand to try their product.
I was given Mira's Hand 100% pure Argan oil.
To be honest, i had tried other brands of moroccan type argan oil, and was fairly pleased with the results, so was happily surprised with the difference that is Mira's Hand Argan oil.
For starters, Mira's Hand is 100% argan oil, no silicons, no dimethicones, no added fragrance etc, no added extra anything.
It comes in a dark glass bottle with dropper, unlike the other brands which have pumps, so you only use very little product each time, basically, you only need about 3 drops if that.
I tried it in a number of different ways:
First, as a skin moisturizer, 2 drops after my cleanser and spray toner, and patted it into my skin. My skin felt moisturized, but not oily, and I didnt experience any breakouts with it either.
You can also mix it into moisturizer, or use it as a serum before moisturizer.
I used it as a hair serum, just smoothing it over fly aways.
You can also add it to hair treatments., or just use it straight onto the scalp (mine gets irritated and red quite a bit) and it wont make your hair look dank and oily.
I mixed it with lip balm to soothe cracked lips.
I also used it neat on my lips without any problems on the cracked skin.
Mixed well with cuticle cream for dry nails and hands.
Tried on some rough patches of skin on my arm, and it felt a lot smoother afterwards.
I added a couple of drops into my foundation, so the foundation looked a bit more dewey.
I mixed it with mineral foundation to turn it into a concealer for the eye area...YES, in the eye area, the most sensitive area of my face, and no problems at all.
I mixed it with powder blush to make a cream blush.
Also mixed it with lipstick to make a treatment lippie.
I also used it to make cream eye shadow. Again, no eye irritation.
I tried it on a few cuts on my skin to soothe, again...all good.
This is a great all rounder product, all natural, without added nasties.
Would I buy it...YES I WOULD!!!

Blog safety over the holidays
Hi fellow beauty bloggers, and basically anyone in the world who blogs.
It's the Christmas season, and lots of you go away for holidays, and blog about the holiday, and what you're doing and how long you are away for and where you're going etc.
Fun to read about for sure, but ask yourself, who else is reading your blog???
Many of you, link your twitter page to your blog and vice versa. You also link it to a webpage and a facebook page. It doesn't take an ordinary person very long to find your surname, and the area where you live. White pages and other online directories tells me and everyone else in the world where you live. You've just blogged that you're on holidays and for how long. It's like putting a sign outside your house saying your house is EMPTY!!! Want to be an easy target for thieves? No, I don't think you do.
