<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Every time I look at the best & worst dressed lists, there are always some I disagree with, so I'm sure there will be some here you will disagree with too.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
For example, I have seen a lot of raves on Nicole Kidman's dress from the Golden Globes, but honestly, it does nothing for me.<br /><br />This is my own personal list of the hits & misses of the outfits from the Golden Globes.<br /><br /><b><u>HIT</u></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />I hope everyone had a safe & happy new years.<br /><br />After spending all day on the 31st at the hospital with my fiance, we weren't exactly in the mood to party so we just watched movies until a bit before midnight, flicked over to the fireworks, had our 12 o'clock kiss and then went to bed.<br /><br />It seems most people are happy 2012 is over.<br />Personally I'd like to skip ahead to 2014 but that's just me.<br /><br />2013 is going to be a challenge for me.<br />I've got a lot of goals and I am determined not to fail at any of them.<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The main goal is to get my finances in order.<br />I've spent too long being frivolous and silly with my money.<br />I look at all the things I own and granted, I have some gorgeous things but there are so many pointless purchases, so much money spent on things I've never worn or used, or worse yet, things I've lost.<br /><br />I've started reading some finance/saving blogs and have joined in some discussions on the topic on the vogue forums.<br />I find it really inspiring and the thought of saving and being wiser with my money is actually making me excited.<br /><br />I can safely say that I won't have much of an issue with not buying new clothes as I have really lost the interest.<br />Lately, I seem to have completely lost the urge to shop. I just can't be bothered battling the crowds, trying on clothes or dealing with the wide range of rude retail staff that I seem to be encountering these days.<br /><br />My two weaknesses are shoes & homewares.<br />I'm really going to have to work on these, especially the latter.<br />I'm such a sucker for teapots, cute coasters, photo frames, throw pillows & everything in between.<br /><br />I'm going to have to work harder to make my blog more interesting as there will be very few posts on shopping hauls, expensive dinners or the like.<br /><br />Do you have any goals for 2013?<br />I'd love to hear about them!<br /><br />x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Late last week I placed an online order with MooGoo, which is quickly becoming one of my favourite skin care brands of all time.<br />For anyone who hasn't heard of MooGoo before, here is a brief bio taken from their website;<br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h1 style="color: #007932; font-family: OptimusPrincepsSemiBoldRg, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 27px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 34px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>What Makes Us Moo</i></span></h1>
<div style="color: #222121; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>MooGoo is an Australian company that makes a range of natural, safe products with effective active ingredients designed for people with skin and scalp problems.</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #222121; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>MooGoo was first made when the founder adapted a cream used in dairy farms to help a family member with a skin problem. The dairy version of ‘udder cream’ was designed to heal cow’s udders and keep them in good condition for milking. It was full of skin repair ingredients and no fillers.</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #222121; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>We have since expanded to make a range of skin products for people with skin problems. We use the same philosophy in all their products. The full strength of healing ingredients and no petroleum or chemical based ingredients. All ingredients are listed on products.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
One of the things I love about MooGoo is that they list every ingredient used in each product with a brief description in laymans terms for people like me, who don't know a whole heap about which ingredients do what.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing I love; They are so reasonably priced.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And another thing I love; They actually work on my horribly sensitive skin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned in my last post, I was in my local health care store where I purchased some Jojoba Company products. I also purchased my first MooGoo product; Milky Wash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will do a full review on that soon, but for now, I will simply say; My skin has never looked so good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't had the chance to use any of the products from my order yet as I only received them this morning and because I had a fake tan booked in for tonight, it meant no moisturising/deodorant etc, so I will begin using them all tomorrow.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have had problem skin ever since I hit puberty.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
So for nearly 10 years I have tried almost every product on the market that claims the same general thing, to fix my skin concerns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love to know how much money I have spent on various skin care products that have done nothing for my skin and have ended up sitting in a box somewhere or in the bin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago, I popped in to my local health food shop to buy some evening primrose oil and I mentioned to the woman working there that I was having serious issues with my skin.<br />Mainly; horribly painful breakouts that just would not go away and marks left behind from recent outbreaks that seemed to linger on my face forever. Certainly not acne, just lots of angry pimples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She asked me lots of questions and suggested that I give jojoba oil a try.<br />*Cue heavenly sounding music*<br /><br />This stuff has literally changed my life.<br /><br />I wasn't too savvy with what was in my usual face products or what was in all the natural products.<br />In hindsight, I am very disappointed that I didn't research the ingredients sooner.<br />How could I not have been wise to what I was putting on my face?!<br />Bad Paige!<br /><br />Since discovering The Jojoba Company, I have been really conscious about what goes on my face and I now get all my skin care products from my local health food shop.<br /><br />A couple of weeks after making the switch to jojoba products and Moo Goo(more on Moo Goo in a later post), my skin was flawless.<br />I mean flawless!<br />Not a pimple, blackhead, whitehead or enlarged pore ANYWHERE ON MY FACE.<br /><br />For anyone who isn't really sure what jojoba is or what it's benefits are, I've taken this from The Jojoba Company's website;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>100% Natural Australian Jojoba Oil - Nature's Wrinkle Fighter<br />Youthful skin produces wax esters that are responsible for the deep cleansing and moisturising of skin, hair and nails. Up to 30% of healthy young skin sebum is made up of wax esters. As we grow older, wax ester production begins to slow down. As a result, the functions of wax esters are lost, allowing moisture to escape from skin cells. This begins the ageing process of skin.<br /><br />Jojoba is the only plant known to produce wax esters instead of plant oil. Its molecular structure is similar to the wax esters in youthful skin sebum. Jojobs is naturally hypoallergenic and contains powerful antioxidants, Omega 6 & 9, fatty acids, and Vitamins A, D and E. As a result, when jojoba is applied to skin, it puts back what aging takes away, working immediately to begin restoring youthful looking skin, naturally.<br />Jojoba moisturises lips, face, hands, cuticles, body and hair, leaving skin smooth and hair silky.<br />Apply jojoba to wet or dry skin, hair and nails.</i><br /><br />I always get so amazed hearing about how such natural things can be so beneficial in so many ways!<br />Makes me wonder why I've been slathering a myriad of scary sounding chemicals with unpronounceable names on my skin all these years.<br /><br />My collection of The Jojoba Company's products is slowly growing and in true 'me' style, there are a few more things I want.<br />But here is my current collection;<br /><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last Tuesday I got a phone call at around 3pm from a place I had a job interview at recently. They offered me a job on a 3 month probationary period and asked me to start the following day at 6.45am.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy notice huh?<br />So since last Tuesday, my life has kind of revolved around this new job as I learn the ropes and feel obligated to take every shift they offer so that I look good and get hired after my 3 months probation are up.<br />I've only done 5 shifts and I'm really not loving it. I know a lot of people don't like their jobs so I'm not alone.<br />But for my own sanity I have been reminding myself why I am at work.<br />It's so I can have the wedding of my dreams and buy a house.<br /><br />So I'm doing a blog post filled with wedding inspiration, more for myself, so that when I'm having a bad day or a hard time at work, I can look over these photos and realise that I am doing it all for a reason.<br /><br />I have so many photos of wedding inspiration saved to my computer, here's a few that I love.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />So I went shopping in my attempt to inject some colour in to my clothing collection and I picked up some nice, cheap casual clothes from Valleygirl & Temt.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is one of maybe 3 yellow things I own. I really must get more, I love yellow.<br />It's a lot more vivid in real life though. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> This dress is actually red, it's coming up kind of orange on my computer screen.<br />I love when dresses come with belts!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I found this nude cropped 3/4 blazer on the discount rack for $19.95.<br />The cut is so flattering.<br />My best friend would disagree with me here but you can never have enough nude items.<br /><b>Never!</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I hate mullet/hi-lo, but I love this.<br />The front of the top sits at my hips and the back covers my bum, which looks a little awkward with shorts so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to wear it with yet but I couldn't resist.<br />It came in white and coral and I am so proud of myself for picking the coral.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has been a loong time since I last blogged.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's what's being going on in the life of yours truly since July(Which is the latest blog entry I did.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I moved out - From my personal slice of heaven to return back to the nest with my parents.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Nick and I were sick of spending money on rent. And gas. And electricity. And water. And groceries.<br />My mum has always said if we ever wanted to come home, we'd be more than welcome.<br />I was all for it, we could save double time for a house and the wedding but Nick wasn't too keen.<br />I think he was worried that it would make it look like he couldn't provide for me which is just silly, but I think I understand how he felt.<br />Then one day he came home from work and said 'Let's do it'.<br />So we gave our notice to our landlord and started packing away.<br />I don't remember the exact date but we were all moved in to my parents house by early August.<br />My parents have a separate bedroom outside, I believe it's called a bungalow?<br />It was my bedroom before I left home the first time.<br />There's no kitchen or bathroom in it,(If there was, I never would have left in the first place!) but it's nice to have that extra bit of privacy.<br /><br />It's so good to have a home cooked meal every night. My mother is an amazing cook, sadly the same cannot be said for me.<br /><br />I won't lie though, it's been hard.<br />There have been days where all I want to do is rewind time and stay put in my unit with Nick.<br />He works long hours so I was very used to being alone a lot of the time, which suited me fine. I actually enjoy being by myself.<br />At my parents house, there is usually always someone home and I think that has been one of the biggest adjustments.<br /><br />On the plus side, I have a beautiful pool at my doorstep and my mums two gorgeous dogs.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's a </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">few things I'm that I'm missing;</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A few days ago I noticed my stash of bananas were starting to get beyond the point of eating. So I decided to make some banana bread. I'd never made any before so I hti up google in search of a good recipe.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I stumbled upon a blog (I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me!) that had this recipe and a little side note saying the person who wrote the blog post had been nagging her friends mother for years for the recipe.</span></div>
</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If it's a mummy recipe, you know it's going to be good!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I am not too great in the kitchen, so the fact that even I am saying this recipe is foolproof and delicious, says a lot.</span></div>
</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If I can do this, anyone can.</span></div>
</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So I thought I would share this recipe with you all.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had a really good weekend, despite the freezing, rainy whether.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">On Friday night I went to a friends </span><a href="http://www.partylite.com.au/en-au/Default.aspx" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Partylite</a><span style="background-color: white;"> party, and purchased myself a few dozen different tealight candles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I got 12 black orchid tealights, 12 fig fatale tealights, 4 giant passionfruit tealights and 4 giant twilight sea tealights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I absolutely adore Partylite candles, certainly more than Dusk candles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I've never tried Glass House candles so I can't compare those two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Then after the candle party, Nick and myself went to our friends bonfire/get together which was really fun but we ended up leaving around 11pm because I was just way to cold to function.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yesterday afternoon, we headed to the movies with a couple of friends to see Ted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It was really funny, but quite predictable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I loved that Patrick Stewart was the narrator.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />For the last 4 years I have been a loyal iPhone lover.<br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the last 2 years I have been a loyal iPhone user.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Until recently when I saw the new Samsung Galaxy, I thought that iPhone's were the absolute best and nothing could top them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My iPhone4 was starting to annoy me as the phone was slowly dying so I did some research on the new Samsung Galaxy then went and had a play with it in my local phone shop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I fell in love and promptly purchased myself a white one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">(I didn't actually realise this at the time but I got the phone the day after it was released in Australia. I'm usually so behind on these things, for once I'm ahead/in time!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Everything about the phone is so flawless and just, pretty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It's lighter than the iPhone and has a much bigger screen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">After I bought it home and showed the boy, he kept commenting on how ridiculously big it was.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I can certainly see how this would be annoying for some people, especially boys who like to keep their phones in their pockets, but for me, it's perfect.</span>I have terrible eyesight and I get quite headachey when I'm on my iPhone for long, so the huge screen on the Galaxy feels like it was made for people like me!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">I honestly cannot believe I was so close minded towards all Android phones.<br />It's safe to say I'm an Android convert that will never be going back to an iPhone.<br /><br />Now I just need to learn how to put a screen protector on without a million air bubbles and all will be right in the world lol.<br /><br />What kind of phone do you use?<br />love/hate it?<br />Have you been pleasantly surprised by another phone?<br />x<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A couple of months ago I blogged about <a href="http://www.ozsale.com.au/" target="_blank">OzSale</a> $6-$9 China Glaze sale, and the polish's that I purchased.<br /><br />I realise it's been quite a while since then but I thought it would be better late than never to do a quick review on my experience.<br /><br />I actually made 2 separate orders; one the day the sale started and another the next day as I decided I wanted more lol.<br />My first order included 8 nail polishes, and I was so excited about the Good Witch & Flying Dragon colours to arrive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />It took about 3 weeks but when they finally arrived, my heart sank.<br />As I was signing for the package I knew at least one bottle had broken as I could smell it before I even opened it.<br />Upon opening my package, this is what I came across...<br />(Thank goodness I noticed the smell and took the precaution of laying a towel down before I opened the package or my carpet would have some hideous stains from this!)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Z2ur8MOkmo/T_aPtmhTS1I/AAAAAAAAAF0/9UCVCPesHQA/s1600/china+glaze.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Z2ur8MOkmo/T_aPtmhTS1I/AAAAAAAAAF0/9UCVCPesHQA/s640/china+glaze.jpg" width="478" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">2 Broken bottles. And wouldn't you know it? The colours that broke were Good Witch & Flying Dragon!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I was incredibly </span><span style="background-color: white;">disappointed</span><span style="background-color: white;"> in OzSale for their poor packaging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It's pretty obvious that if you wrap 8 bottles of nail polish in one layer of bubble wrap and then pop them in a normal post bag, that something is bound to go wrong.<br />I personally think each bottle should have been individually wrapped & then posted in a box.<br />(Which coincidentally is how my second order arrived)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I promptly contacted </span><span style="background-color: white;">OzSale</span><span style="background-color: white;">, and after they </span><span style="background-color: white;">received</span><span style="background-color: white;"> a picture as proof, they refunded my order in full.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It took a long time for OzSale to respond to me and an even longer time for them to actually follow through with the promised refund.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm satisfied with the refund as after giving my remaining unbroken bottles a good scrub with nail polish remover, they are good as new (except I can't read their shade names).<br /><br />Overall it was a very long and drawn out affair dealing with OzSale and I can honestly say that unless they have some crazy amazing deal, I won't be buying from them again.<br /><br />A week or so after the China Glaze sale, <a href="http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/" target="_blank">Catch Of The Day</a> had a $10 OPI nail polish sale, from which I purchased 10 bottles.<br />I paid for my order in the morning and that evening my order was marked as 'processed' and the next morning it was marked as 'delivered'. The following day I received all 10 of my nail polishes, secure as anything and all unbroken.<br />I love that Catch of the Day don't make you wait until the sale has finished before they process and ship your order like your OzSale do.<br />It was a really easy and fast experience buying from them and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from their site again.<br /><br />And that is my 2 cents!<br />Have you ever bought from either of these sites before?<br />If so, what was your experience like?<br />I'd love to know!<br /><br />x</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">From what I could gather, they have salons throughout Victoria & have won quite a few awards for their hairdressing skills.<br /><br /><br />While browsing through the aisles at coles the other day I came across this brand I've never heard of called Rokk Ebony.<br />They have shampoo, conditioner & various other products in the 'salon section' of the beauty aisle at coles.<br />Their shampoo & conditioner retail for $14.99 each which is quite reasonable but as I've always had trouble believing salon brand shampoo's are better, I overlooked them.<br />Then I saw that there was a Rokk Ebony pack on sale from $30 to $15. The pack included heat protection shampoo, heat protection conditioner, heat protection spray, a paddle brush & a hair drying turban.<br />I figured for that price I couldn't even get a cheaper brand shampoo, conditioner & heat protection spray so I snapped it up.<br />The fact that the packaging is so gorgeous certainly didn't hurt either.<br /><br />I used the paddle brush immediately, upon feeling the material of the paddle brush I was wary, it felt very cheap-plasticy, but once I ran it through my hair I was sold.<br />It gets the knots out without ripping my hair out & leaves my hair feeling very soft & bouncy but not frizzy like so many other brushes do.<br /><br />I used the shampoo & conditioner yesterday morning.<br />Let me tell you, they smell AMAZING.<br />I have never, ever smelled shampoo and conditioner so good.<br />I followed the instructions and did a double wash of my hair, and like the product says, you do not need much.<br />It lathered up very quickly and a little bit went a very long way.<br />I then conditioned, and I have to say, I did need a bit more than a 'small amount' like the bottle claims, but then again, I put conditioner on the top of my head and my scalp, even though I know you're not supposed to so that's probably why I needed more than I was supposed to.<br /><br />Once I hopped out of the shower, I used my hair turban as opposed to the usual towel that ends up falling off my head.<br />I've had these turbans before and they really are fantastic.<br /><br />I blow dried my hair with the aid of the heat protection spray and I was amazed to say the least.<br />This product is part of the heat protection range, not the volume range (which Rokk Ebony also has), but it gave my hair great volume.<br />It wasn't over the top volume, just bouncy & gorgeous. Usually when I use heat protection spray with my blow dryer and no other volumising product, I get pancake hair.<br />Together with my blow dryer, this product made my hair shiny and bouncy with none of the frizz or sticky product residue.<br /><br />All in all I'd give the Rokk Ebony heat protection range a 9/10.<br />I loved the results so much that I went and bought another of the heat protection packs yesterday!<br />My only gripe with the line is that the shampoo and conditioner bottles are quite hard to get the product out of.<br />I had to take the lid off the conditioner and squeeze it out of the bottle as the squeezy lid thing that it came with just wouldn't allow any product through.<br />The shampoo squeeze lid was easier but still difficult.<br /><br />I can't wait to try the other Rokk Ebony products & I have my eye on their UV Gloss Coat which apparently makes your hair super shiny.<br /><br />I'd definitely recommend this line & I will certainly be using it again in the future!<br /><br />x<br /><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">[All products in this review were purchased by myself, this is not a paid or sponsored review & as far as I know Rokk Ebony has no idea of it's existence.<br />The opinions expressed are purely my own & are 100% honest]</span><br /><br /><br /></span></div>

As you can probably tell, I am inclined towards pinks, purple's & silver glitters but I did try to branch out a little and purchased a couple of reds & blues.<br />

I strongly suggest any of you aussie nail polish lovers head on over to <a href="http://www.ozsale.com.au/">OzSale</a> to get your paws on some bargain China Glaze, but be quick the sale ends on Friday!<br />
