I Literally Flew To Sydney To Get My Hair Done

16 July 2011 | Tine

Note: This is a picture-heavy post.

A few weeks ago, Stef, Val and I braved the cold, ungodly hour that is 4.30am to the airport, where we were then flown to Sydney for an event at the fantabulous Barney Martin Hair Studio at Surry Hills. It was my first out-of-state bloggers’ event and I was well, well chuffed 😀

We were presented with the latest haircare products launched by Proctor & Gamble – Pantene’s Nature Fusion, Clairol’s Nice’ n Easy Colour Blend Foam and Wella’s Pro Series hairstyling products. I had a whiff of Pantene’s Nature Fusion, and my my, they sure smelled good!

It was a small gathering of beauty bloggers from Sydney and Melbourne, and each of us had the opportunity to try out these products on our hair (save for the Colour Blend Foam from Nice’ n Easy; I didn’t get the chance to colour my hair that day). Pantene’s Nature Fusion features Pantene’s signature Pro-V science combined with cassia-flower derived essence. It’s Pantene’s nature-inspired line, which I thought, heck it’s about time!

Bloggie Wednesday – Answering Your Questions About Blogging

13 July 2011 | Tine

Bloggie Wednesdays

For the past few weeks, I’ve been reserving Wednesdays for articles just on blogging. Here they are again in case you’ve missed it:

I’ve received lovely comments and emails from several readers on how they found those blog posts immensely useful. I was delighted to hear that because that was my aim, to help a fellow blogger along her blogging journey.

I’m hoping to make this a regular feature on the blog, which I am going to call Bloggie Wednesdays. Every Wednesday, I hope to write about blogging, tutorials, tips, interesting reads, etc, on how to make us better bloggers. I’m by no means an expert; most of my material are either from experience (good and painful) or sourced from the big blogging guns. In fact, it’s still a learning process for me, after all these years. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now, in hopes of helping those who are new to blogging or serve as a refresher to seasoned bloggers.

Here’s where you come in. I would like to know – what would you like to know more about blogging? Is there something you want to implement in your blog but don’t really know how to? Confused about certain techie bits in your blog? Feel free to let me know in the comments or contact me directly. I’ll try my best to answer your bloggie questions 🙂

SAX Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Coral

12 July 2011 | Tine

Remember when I reviewed SAX Cosmetics’ Sheer Lip Colour Lipstick in Sheer Rose and said that it reminded me very much of Chanel’s Rouge Coco in Organdi Rose? Well, SAX must have a thing for Chanel because their lipglosses are packaged similarly to Chanel’s Levres Scintillantes!

SAX Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Coral 1

Description:
A silky, moisturising lipgloss that conditions and gives shine to create the illusion of fuller lips. Infused with antioxidants such as Vitamin E and avocado oil to create the illusion of fuller lips. Paraben Free.
