Airmotion Hairbrush

Airmotion is a new, multi-use hairbrush which has been developed by experts who have over 27 years experience within the hair industry, these experts understand those contributing factors which lead to daily stress and strain on your hair.  Specifically designed to reduce daily ear and tear on your hair, Airmotion uses superlite materials to glide along the contours of your head.

The man behind Airmotion, Grange Snell said:

"As a professionally trained hairstylist by trade, I wanted to invent and design a brush which incorporated revolutionary design, high-quality materials with outstanding performance: the result is a precision engineered multi-use hairbrush"

I was kindly sent the Airmotion to try, I am one of those people who has dozens of hairbrushes but can never locate them, so I was looking forward to trying the brush. Mine is a lovely black and white coloured brush and there was a helpful little factsheet to tell me more about it, for example:









The brush is made up of unique Tri-bristle technology which combines 3 different lengths and diameters of bristle, which in turn provide the ultimate penetration for any hair type.  This means no hair is left untouched and as it glides through your hair, it leaves it smooth, detangled and stress free. 

The tri-bristle formation is said to actually help smooth and straighten hair, helping to remove frizz while you brush to leave your hair soft and glossy.
The brush is said to be perfectly balanced in shape and size with an ergnomically friendly handle to make Airmotion suitable for even the smallest of hands and it won't slip out of your hand if you use it with wet hands or even in the shower!  It can be used by people who are left or right handed.

When I first started using this brush, I was surprised at how lightweight it is in my hands. Most of the brushes I own have a fair bit of weight in them, with this, you hardly know it is there.  My hair is never knotty and tangled, but I do sometimes suffer from frizz and static, so using this hairbrush, whilst you can feel it running through your hair, there isn't that dragging sensation, where you can feel your hair being pulled from the root, especially after it has just been dried. I have also noticed that there are less hairs in the brush after using and a lot less static, which means I don't have to run for the serum constantly - another massive bonus.

The AirMotion Pro Hairbrush retails at £11.95, which I think is such a good price for a product that is such good quality, gentle on my hair and one which actually feels like it is brushing all of my hair and not just the hair that the brush can get too, by that I mean right to the scalp without scratching it. 


Oh and can I mention how fab the black and white monochrome colouring of the brush is!

Flamingo Candles Lemon and Lime Mojito

Flamingo candles is a brand I have seen on many blogs, so when I got the chance to try out my own candle, I was every bit as excited because I am candle obsessed, even as I sit and type this, my Flamingo candle is burning away. If you haven't heard of the brand, Flamingo Candles are handmade candles which use soybeans and natural cotton wicks, they contain no no petroleum, paraffin or beeswax products and more information about the brand can be found HERE.




The candle I was kindly sent is Lemon and Lime Mojito and it smells exactly as the name would suggest and is described as follows:
"Fruity and exotic Lemon & Lime Mojito is a fruity aroma incorporating notes of freshly squeezed juicy lemons combined with notes of warm orchids, infused with fresh lime with added notes of cool aldehydes, mandarin and grapefruit".
Once the lid has been removed there is a sudden citrusy scent which captures your senses and once alight, that scent is magnified and quickly spreads throughout the entire house. I am a huge fan of candles which have a big scent and this one is definitely one of those, it is fresh, zesty and is perfect for those Sunday afternoons once everything has been cleaned, scrubbed and polish to sit back and relax too with a cuppa whilst browsing blogs or reading the paper. 

Flamingo Candles' Classic Jar Candles cost just £12 each and you can find them on the Flamingo Candle website, Amazon and Asos to name a few. They also offer upto 50 hours of burning time which I think is really impressive for a candle of this size. Next on my list of Flamingo Candles to try is
Oriental Lotus & Rose Otto Scent Melt and the Coconut Lemongrass Scent Melt to see if they are as good or better than similar products out there!

Have you tried anything from Flamingo Candles? Do you have a favourite scent?
