Argan Oil, Illamasqua & Tangle Teezer Review

Hi all!

So, I haven't posted anything in agggeeessss! I know! But I'm going to try and actually stick with this now so if anyone wants any advice on anything beauty related or wants me to review anything, let me know! In the past few weeks I have purchased Illamasqua, Pure Pigment in FuroreArgan Oil and a Tangle Teezer!


I'll start first of all with the Argan Oil! I got this in Boots & it was less than €20 as far as I can remember. It lasts for AGES! I don't know what state my hair was in before this, I'll never look back, that's for sure! Anyone that knows me for a good few years knew my hair used to be quite frizzy, but not anymore!




The finishing result? Shiny & NOT frizzy! Whoop!! I also find if you leave your hair to dry naturally for about 15 minutes before hair drying it, it helps keep your hair frizz free!


Now, Illamasqua is a brand I heard quite a lot about but could never afford. I decided to splash out when I saw the pure pigment on sale on Debenhams.ie for €18, it's a highlighter for your face. It's a gorgeous colour, I've used it twice now and I don't think it's any better than products like moonbeam by Benefit or even anything by discount brands to be honest but that could be cause I'm still not 100% on how to use highlighters! The packaging is quite small for its price, here's what it looks like... 






Apparently it can be used wet also, as an eyeshadow and to enhance lipsticks etc so I'll write more about this and attach some proper swatches when I experiment! 

Last but not least is the Tangle Teezer. I've heard SO much about these so decided to get one with a One4All gift card I received for Christmas. It's meant to untangle your hair in a painless manner!

Sounds good, right? I find this works best when your hair is wet, I think my hair is too thick for it to work when it's dry. Overall, it's worth the investment if you find your hair tangles often, my hair doesn't have that problem unless its wet. Another major plus with this is that it is the PERFECT size to pop in your handbag! This is especially handy for nights out when your hair can act crazy after pulling some dance moves with your friends!
