There are many reasons why trips to the salon are hard to come by. Time, money, finding a trusty babysitter, finding a waxer you can trust… the list goes on. Having a friend who’s a hairdresser or beautician is like hitting the jackpot, but even they eventually get tired of your constant last minute “help me be beautiful again” calls. So it’s handy to know there are products available that can help you achieve fresh from the salon results without leaving the comfort of your own home (except for running out to purchase said products of course).
Hair colour
When it comes to dyeing your hair a darker shade or simply touching up the roots, you’ve got it down pat. But changing colour completely is a whole different ball game. With the help of Jo Baz Hair Colour Remover (www.jo-baz.com.au) however, you can remove any colourbuild before dyeing (making colouring your hair lighter a lot easier) and if you make a mistake, it will erase the colour and take you back to your natural shade. Violet coloured hair here I come.
Hair removal
Waxing can sometimes be messy and problematic when you’re fussing about with cotton strips and sticky residue. But there is an easier way to successful waxing at home – that is also a time and money saver. Waxaway Salon Wax sets hard so it can be removed with your fingertips (no strips required) leaving no trace of hair or sticky residue behind. Clean up is an absolute breeze, simply throw the hard wax into the bin as you go.
Smooth skin
If remembering to moisturise is as exciting as your skin routine gets then you must try Sanctuary Spa Warming Microbrasion Polish. It’s a little bit of luxury in a tube that pleasantly warms your skin as you gently scrub. Your skin will be left so clean, soft and smooth that you can easily tell friends you’ve just come from a facial and they wouldn’t even question it.
Manicure
There are three things to look for in a nail polish when trying to achieve a salon worthy manicure at home. Fast drying (because face it, if you’re at home it’s hard not to touch anything for thirty minutes while you let them dry), long-wearing (because nobody wants to do touch ups every second day) and a range of fabulous shades that can be applied in as little as two coats. Pretty Woman Gel Logic Nail Polish manages to tick all the boxes. Try shades in Pretty Pink for some girly glam or Jazzberry for a daring deep red.
