Get out of bed and look great!

So I have entered a fab competition 'Smooth V Rough' for Immediate PR and went for the Rough option as smooth hair is just boring!!! I then got sent some OSIS+ by Schwarzkopf - Rough Rubber to create the perfect roughed up look for any occasion.






















and we have decided to show you how to look great within minutes of rolling out of bed!

So what is Rough Rubber meant to do?

Rough Rubber says it will provide a unique rubber consistency that mattifies and toughens up the hair to create a show-stopping creation.


The looks we created:


 Look 1.

we used the Rough Rubber first to the whole hair but smoothed it down to tame my tresses then backcombed parts and scoped up the front piece and pinned them back. I then added definition by applying more Rough Rubber to select sections to make them stand out.
Look 1. Back shot

Before























Look 2.


Using the Rough Rubber to hair when turned upside down and scrunched the ends. We then tied it in a low hanging ponytail, with loose strands hanging down. Then finally applied some more rough rubber to the ends of the ponytail for definition.

Which is your favourite?

New £30 miracle wrinkle cream!


With a 60,000 waiting list this cream is in high demand and with scientific proof behind the cream it's needs to be tried.

From Avon the new ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector Treatment has a secret ingredient, A-F33 which addresses wrinkles in a way that other ingredients just don’t!

With clinical trials reporting that 100% of women saw a reduction in their wrinklesit is no surprise that ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector is already a favourite of celebrity fans including Claudia Winkleman, Lisa Snowdon, Tamzin Outhwaite and Anna Friel who commented "As soon as I put on the Avon A-F33 serum, I noticed an immediate difference to my skin which appeared smoother with a fabulous glow to it."

So howdoes it work?

The molecule A-F33 deactivates collagen blocking cells enabling the release of vital new collagen to the skin’s surface in a way that other well-known anti-ageing ingredients such as glycolic acid, retinol, and CoQ10 don’t. The worldwide launch hits UK and Republic of Ireland markets first across the globe, as Avon’s skincare division ANEW celebrates 20 years of pioneering skincare breakthroughs in one of the most important launches in Avon’s 126 year history.

What will it achieve?

ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector Treatment is a lightweight serum and when used twice daily, was shown clinically to help reduce the look of deep and fine wrinkles:
  • Fine lines and deep wrinkles begin to look reduced in just seven days
  • Over time, 100% of women showed a reduction in fine lines
  • 100 percent of participants showed an improvement in the appearance of fine wrinkles after 11 weeks, while 96 percent showed an improvement in deep wrinkling.
How can I get my hands on this?
It goes on sale today, so head to www.avonshop.co.uk

Keep an eye out for our next post with the results :-) and let T2G know if you have managed to get your hands on it.

Sleep-in Rollers

Sleep in rollers sound uncomfortable, but in the name of beauty I gave it ago!

Here are some tips to get you the ultimate look:

Tip 1. Use on dry clean hair - you don't want to have to wash it after you have yor locks looking great!

Tip 2, Roll your hair in the direction of the desired effect, for big bouncy hair roll clockwise, for the flicked effect roll anti-clockwise but always roll the crown of your hair clockwise

Tip 3. Secure your rollers with hair grips

Tip 5. Relax and have a great night's sleep :-)

 
Time2Gossip's Verdict:

Well you can definitley get a good night sleep, even if it's a bit more raised than usual! The end result was not too va va voom but there is definitley more bounce and volume (Check the image below)

Sleep-In Rollers cost £17.95 (including tracked postage and packaging) for two sets of rollers and come inside a pink complimentary Sleep-In Rollers bag available from www.velcrosleeprollers.com, Sally Salon Services, Toni & Guy, Manchester Selfridges and the Glasgow Fake Bake Boutique.
