Hi There

Pantene #ShineStrong Blogger Trial

Pantene #ShineStrong Blogger Trial

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen a dozen of these Pantene Blogger Trial posts, and since I was also one of the bloggers on trial (well at least my hair was), today I’ll share my thoughts on this range. I like that so many different hair types have been able to blog about their opinions on this new range. I think that its great that we can all see how different people feel about the “new and improved” Pantene ProV range, as we all have very different hair types and needs. Before I get into my own opinions, I just want to give you a brief intro into the new Pantene Pro-V range. After ten years of research and development, Pantene have undergone a complete product upgrade. The biggest improvement is that all Pantene Pro-V formulas now contain anti-oxidant “Damage Blockers” that neautrialize the minerals found in tap water. Why? Well, Pantene found that washing your hair using normal tap water could actually be causing more damage to your hair than you realise. Apparently the levels of copper ions and other minerals in normal tap water, erode the hairs vital protein layer, causing oxidation damage that leads to brittle hair that’s more prone to breakage. As someone who washes their hair daily, and someone…

Chanel Chance Eau Vive

Chanel Chance Eau Vive

Every spring, Chanel beauty comes up with a fresh, new take on their classic fragrance, Chance. And each time, they manage to make this scent more amazingly decadent. This year, it’s all about an energizing sensation; a creation that gives momentum, like the intense energy that drives those born under a lucky star… Now, I wasn’t born under a lucky star (at least I don’t think so – but can you imagine how cool that would  be), but Chanel Chance Eau Vive, surely has the stuff that makes magic! It smells fresh, vibrant, energetic and just downright delicious! It launches internationally this June, and in South Africa, you can get yours from the 18th June 2015. CHANCE EAU VIVE is the first interpretation created by perfumer Olivier Polge. The juice is a concentration of zesty, fresh and energetic citrus notes. It opens with a gorgeous bitter bite of grapefruit that settles with a grapefruit-blood orange accord. As it develops, you’ll discover hints of jasmine and white musks before the fragrance fully develops and reveals the base notes of fresh vetiver and cedar-iris. If chance won’t come to you, then you must simply go find your CHANCE… Pricing: 50ML EDT –…

iPhoneography 2015 Contest

iPhoneography 2015 Contest

Yesterday I got to hang with the iStore and a bunch of cool kids, zipping around Jozi in fun Mini Cooper’s, snapping pics of all the pretty things, using our iPhone! Why you ask? To officially open the 2015 iStore iPhoneography Contest. If your iPhone is permanently attached to your hand and you’re always finding things to photograph, then you are an iPhoneographer, and you can get to experience your art like a real artist, thanks to the iPhoneography contest and exhibition! But before I tell you more about that, check out some of my city snaps that I posted on my Instagram (@stylescoop) and a whole lot more on my fun and random account (@dimidoodles)… We visited the Maboneng Precinct, which is any photographers dream and the amazing graffiti plastered walls of Newtown, Johannesburg. It was awesome! I got to hang with my Dubai bestie, Kelly (@x_kellyfung_x) and super cool insagrammer, Roy (@roywrench) and we snapped a bazillioon city pics. Get your art noticed! Now in its fifth year, iPhoneography encourages every iPhone user (professional or not) to get clicking, and submit their picture-perfect images into a nationwide competition. The competition culminates in two sensational exhibition events, where winners…

Get Your Nail Polish To Last

Get Your Nail Polish To Last

Nails! The bane of my existence! I used to get my nails Shellac-ed all the time, which I loved because my nail colour would last for weeks, and my nails would look in pretty darn good shape. Nowadays, time seems like a luxury I just can’t afford. So for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been paying real close attention to the condition of my nails and it’s really paying off in terms of far prettier at-home-nail-jobs, healthier nails and longer lasting polish. Best part, it isn’t as hard as you think! You will need to invest in a few essential tools to prep your nails for the perfect paint job. Before you apply your nail colour, spend a little time getting your nails in tip top shape. Make sure your nails are completely clean and free of any oils. Even if you’ve just removed your previous colour, use a little nail scrubbing brush to scrub off any excess oils. Next, dry your nails completely. Shape your nails using a nail file, going in one direction rather than sawing back and forth. Gals, you get nail files and then you get nail files! Those cheapies you find in the supermarket…
