2013 Must-Have Beauty Buys

Okay, I will hold my hands up and admit that I am not exactly a beauty product buff or a trend follower, so I suppose you are probably wondering why you should listen to my 2013 must-have suggestions. But surely, the fact that I have actually bothered to comprise a piece about brilliant beauty buys surely speaks volumes in itself? These items must be pretty amazing for a non-beauty addict to even muster up any sort of effort to write about them, right? So give these babies a whirl.

Tangle Teezer

Imagine a life without painful, irritating knots which seem to get increasingly worse as you hack at them with your hairbrush or comb...it would make your daily routine so much easier, right? Well, with the tangle teezer you can actually battle the frizz forever and give your poor scalp a rest!

In all honesty, at first I was cynical. Beauty products always make exaggerated claims, and a hairbrush which stopped knots seemed almost impossible to believe.

However, as a girl with naturally thick hair prone to knotting, I was keen to give it a try. This was mainly because every time I wearily drag myself into the hairdressers I brace myself for some sort of insult regarding my barnet. An analysis from some snooty stylist would usually consist of a critique such as "your hair is a bit knotty isn't it!" as she hacks at my hair with a tiny useless comb.

Salons aside, even in the comfort of my own home I cannot escape the dreaded hair tangle. My worst case is when I'm fresh out the shower. Attempting to brush my wet hair is something of a tedious chore, and there are knots aplenty which are a painful, time consuming nuisance to smooth out.

So, after using my tangle teezer I was actually astonished by its impact. It makes an amazing difference; the results are really noticeable, so it makes a considerable change to your everyday regime.

Not only is it super-effective, it looks awesome too – gold, shiny and perfectly compact, it is as snazzy as a hairbrush could be. With its unique shape and sophisticated design, it is genuinely worth every penny.

So, banish knots forever by investing in this incredible hairbrush. Trust me, it really is a winner.

Hair Buns

I was always intrigued as to how some girls could work a glossy, tidy and super-chic bun which remained put throughout even the dreariest weather conditions. Then I discovered the secret – hair buns.

By simply slotting the ring around your hair and twisting into position, your hair is formed into a neat and stylish bun without any hassle.

Perfect for formal occasions or for even just popping out to the shops, it’s a sleek style which you can achieve quickly and easily. It saves so much time than trying to perfect an orderly bun yourself, which can take ages and won’t stay in a preened shape for very long.

They are totally helpful and definitely worth your while.
