Random Rave! 01/02/2013

So it's Friday which means it is time for my Random Rave of this week!

This weeks random rave is.... BOOKS!

I'm going to tell you about 2 authors and why I love them so much.

My first author is J K Rowling. She has been a favourite of mine for many many years and Harry Potter is my favourite series of all time. I love her, and her storytelling, because she makes it seem like you are in her world throughout her books. I associate mostly with Hermione from the series as her hair is a lot like mine (the book hair), I too am I strong advocate for what I believe in and I am a giant nerd! I have now read every book in the series at least three or four times and I have to admit my favourites are the first and the last. The beginning and the end.

My other favourite author this week, well for the past 6 months really, is John Green. I've been watching his, and his brothers', youtube channel (vlogbrothers) since about 2009 and bought his first book "Looking for Alaska" early last year and have literally read it a billion times! I joke, I joke. But I still maintain that it was my favourite book of 2012, and I read a lot! Following "Looking for Alaska" I received An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns for my birthday in 2012. I read Paper Towns whilst on holiday with no wifi, and An Abundance of Katherines whilst on my new year holiday. I will admit I have only read them once each, but I have a feeling that they will be books I read over and over.

That's it for this weeks Random Rave!

I'm not going to be posting on weekends, so I shall see you on Monday!

Tangle Teezer Review.

I’ve always been slightly sceptical of any brush or product that claims it “detangles”. I have a children’s tangle spray that works fine, but I was reluctant to try anything new. After watching many youtube videos praising the Tangle Teezer I decided to buy one whilst it was 10% off on feelunique.com.

Just for some background, I have almost waist length, thick hair. I have high- and low lights in my hair but I don’t use heat on it regularly.

The Tangle Teezer never claims to get rid of tangles, it claims to deliver “speedy and gently results.” I can honestly say it does for me.

It can take me up to 30 minutes to comb through my hair after I’ve washed it. When I used the Tangle Teezer it took less than 5!

I bought the bright orange version because I don’t have the tidiest bedroom and I thought it would make it easier to find, and I am really impressed with the shape of the brush as it fits perfectly into my hand.

In some reviews I have heard that the bristles on the brush can become bent easily, and therefore you have to buy more. At £10.20 a piece (on feelunique.com) it’s not something that I think I want to buy regularly unless it really becomes a staple.

The full size brush comes in 5 different colours and there are also compact and “aqua splash” versions.

Born Lippy lipbalm review.

So there are two kinds of “Born Lippy” lipbalms from The Body Shop, a pot version and a twist up balm version.

I have one of both, a pot of “Passionberry” and a twist up of “Pink Berry”.

Left-Passionberry, Right-Pink Berry

Passionberry is a deep purple colour and smells sweet and sour. This was the first one I got, and I have been getting it since I was little because I love the way it feels on the lips. It’s very sticky in the pot, but on the lips it is less sticky. I would prefer if this was a twist up lip balm as it does feel a bit unsanitary to keep dipping your finger into the pot.

Pink Berry is, you guessed it, a pale pink colour. It smells a lot more sour, and a little less sweet than Passionberry. This lip balm is extremely moisturising and honestly I love to lick it off my lips - it tastes so good! I will say that the actual stick of lip balm is very soft and can easily be melted or damaged.

Over all, I have to say these are some of my favourite lipbalms that I own, and I own a lot!

See you next time,
