Blanx White Shock formula

Over the last 2 weeks I have been whitening my teeth with a ridiculously cool new contraption by Blanx.

I previously wrote a post on Blanx's Extrawhite Intensive Whitening treatment and mouthwash which I loved and really thought made my teeth look whiter.

But this treatment is even more amaze balls. Blanx White Shock has a screw on LED accelerator which goes on the end of your toothpaste tube. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie but I've been using this for about 2 weeks and its super!

The LED light activates something in the toothpaste to whiten your teeth and after brushing you can hold the LED light up against your cleaned teeth for about 10 seconds just to seal the deal. It keeps whitening all day too as daylight activates something in the toothpaste that actually helps make your teeth whiter. Cue me walking around with a ridiculous grin on my face… Plus it’s non-abrasive and doesn't contain peroxide so is kind to your knashers.

It's not like getting your teeth professionally whitened, but for those on a budget and wanting a temporary quick fix, this is a great place to start. 

Its available on Feel Unique (£7.49) and without the LED in Asda (£4.99)

Muk muk muk!

Lots of hair posts coming up as I was lucky enough to go to Salon International last month and so I've got lots of hair goodies to test!

First of all "What the f*&k is Muk?" (this is their tagline by the way....I'm not trying to be clever.) Muk is an Australian hair brand with the image of "Politically Incorrect haircare". In fact the first thing you see when you visit their website is this:- 

Seems you might need a sense of humour for this one... Their anti-mainstream message mimics that of Vo5 shockwave "Extreme style, break the mould" campaign. But enough about their marketing...

I've been using the Deep Muk range for about 2 weeks now. 

This range is used for everyday hair care and all hair types. And i have to say...it is rather good.

1. It really does smell incredible, it's a gardenia scent which I love. Nice smelling hair is big plus for me. There's nothing more disappointing than spending a small fortune on shampoo to have your hair smelling of nothing...or just hair. I want it smelling like roses!! This doesn't disappoint on smell.

2. The ultra soft shampoo (£8.95) lathers really well and cleaned my hair beautifully (I've recently been dry shampooing the hell out of it). And although I usually go for a deep hydrating product, the ultra soft conditioner (£8.95) and 1 minute ultra soft treatment (£10.95) really moisturised my hair.

3. The range also made my hair incredibly sleek and shiny. In fact people have been commenting on how shiny it is, which is amazing! But I've always been a fan of big hair so for me this range may not be my first choice, I may be better of with their Fat Muk range.

4. It's not available on the high street, so you'll have to hunt for it at independent salons or by it online at www.mukme.com

A whole lot of Selfridges Beauty

Ahhh the Selfridges beauty hall. It's where dreams are made. Its also where a the Selfridges beauty workshop was held 2 weeks ago. I randomly got to meet the founder of Nails Inc, Thea Green (and her incredible Chanel shoes), got our nails done and bought a whole lot of new products!

First things first, the manicure. I went for the obligatory 'trendy' black and silver theme which Nails Inc were promoting that evening. It did look bloody cool though, they literally poured glitter over your fingers onto the black polish and then covered it with a clear varnish. In a ideal world I'd have bought the kit. But whenever I try and recreate these types of looks at home its just horrific...i'm far too impatient. So I save it for whenever i'm in a nail salon.

My friend Janeeb had hers done too, the teal colour is '7 dials'

I also purchased a gorgeous Catseye makeup bag - £10 which I'm obsessed with, big fan of cats you see (but i'm not a crazy cat lady...I may be one day)

Along with:-

1. Stila 'stay all day' foundation and concealer - gives medium to full coverage. Really good colour match, easy to blend. Plus the concealer comes on the lid of the foundation with a very cute mirror! As well as a mini foundation brush. All for £33

2. Eyeko skinny brush mascara - I use this on top of another mascara and it really adds real length to your lashes! It uses a very thin brush which basically gets all of your eyelashes, even the tiny ones, so it really opens up your eyes. But it's quite thick, so be sparing when you apply it so you don't clump your eyelashes. £15

3. Topshop lips in 'Idol' - very neon pink. Lovely smooth texture which stays on for hours! £7

I also got a brilliant flip book made of my friend and I dancing for 7 seconds on camera, its hilarious, but you'd have to see it. i've got a new found respect for flip-books though...
