Loading ...Whenever I’ve mentioned the brilliant Scandalous products lately I’ve broke into that Misteeq song. The products are gorgeous: simple eyecatching packaging in matte black and hints of bright fuschia pink. After getting my hands on the product I felt my review wasn’t enough, so when my boyfriend found the big box of products I was amazed when he said he wanted to try them for me (in exchange for keeping the shampoo and conditioner!). BRILLIANT!
Ed’s hair before the products, not much shine, dry and brittle hair. Heat has really taken its toll!
Ed isn’t a typical lad really. He loves hair products and has had every hair colour under the sun (blue streaks…red streaks…platinum blonde…I could go on). He’ll kill me for this but hes a bit of a pretty boy and has been since I met him about 5 years ago. He loves the top brands for hair and when I told him of this up and coming brand he jumped at the chance. The scent is really suited to a man I think too, so it was only right that he tested the products!
Really well branded – cant miss these products
Ed chose to use the Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner, Hair Serum, Heat Protection Spray and Hairspray. After trying out both the shampoo and conditioner in the shower I got the lowdown…Ed’s first opinions immediately out of the shower:
- The smell and texture of the Gorgeously Rich Moisuring Shampoo and Conditioner reminded him of the hairdressers.
- Left his hair feeling smooth but not too smooth.
- Felt he had used a really professional set of products!
- Feels volumous even when wet.
It was time to apply the Seductive Shimmer Serum. The serum promised to tame and calm without overloading the hair and to create a dazzling shine. Ed’s immediate opinions upon applying the serum:
- Being a smoker, he was particularly impressed that the serum contained Citronella which stops the hair picking up smells of smoke which Ed is concious about.
- Felt like hair will dry well and maintain a lengthy shine.
- Serum wasn’t as sticky as previously perceived.
Seemed to tick all the boxes there! With all the products applied to wet hair, it was time to get cracking with the drying and straightening. After drying his hair the vote was in:
- Hair “went in” so well straighteners will be barely needed!
- Really thick locks.
- Feels revitalised!
- Feels soft but manageable.
The Red Alert Heat Protection spray was then used immediately after hairdrying. He spritzed it a few times all over his hair before he applied his straighteners. I think this is a product where you will see the benefits through several uses. But the Protection spray promises to withstand high temperatures which is perfect for the use of daily hair straightening; the temperatures they reach are sky high!
The Flaunt It Hairspray was used as the final product in the Scandalous mission. Ed really raved about this and thought it gave a firm hold, but without the hair looking too”crisp”. The “memory foam” effect particularly impressed him too. He fought to keep this but I wasn’t having any of it, I want it for myself!
So calling all boys: these Scandalous products aren’t just for girls! I found the scent to be unisex, a fragrance which is musky and feminine but also has masculine tones. Perfect for Ed and other men too.
Ed’s deciding vote………a massive 9/10, this could be Superdrug’s next big thing! Plus they’re now priced at £3.50 on the Superdrug Site…grab a bargain!

ng. Beautiful floral garlands and beaded headbands really put that finishing touch to an outfit. I think the likes of Leighton Meester aka. Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl and of course Pixie Lott are to blame for this trend. I’m a massive fan of florals and wasn’t seen without either a flower or headband in my head all week! They also distract from dull looking unwashed hair (with the aid of dry shampoo of course) and keep you looking glam if you’re feeling a bit lazy with your outfit. I’ve found some on trend headbands for the perfect festival look:

. My Christmas wasn’t the best this year: flu combined with a 24 hour bug and chest infection meant I couldn’t eat my roast dinner and was confined to bed for most of Christmas Eve! Very grim, but well on the mend now. My nose piercing in action (with my new fur coat – I’m in love!)
Nick Jonas!
my beautiful cardigan!
my dad managed to get me a blackberry (I gave the phone I won to my mum and couldn’t ask for it back – too mean!) I love it!!!
Beautiful Vicky and Chris….
I didn’t really know what to expect, even after reading the FAQ’s. Like Phoebe said, I’d also been to Clothes Show Live and was expecting something like that, but it was so upmarket, I felt well out of place! So many OTT dressed girls with 6 inch heels….sequin blazers everywhere! I finally chose an outfit, and LBD with a nautical style blazer (yeah, I’m finally on the blazer trend, cringe) and pinky purple flats with gold chain detail (the only shoes I brought back from uni, embarrassingly) and the black and white bag I bought from Topshop with my voucher. It all went together nicely, considering the mad rush from Manchester and with 2 hours sleep the night before! I had to get up at half 6 to shower and get ready for the 9.20am train, I was absolutely knackered and feeling very nauseous with the flu (I was near barfing too many times on the train, oh dear) but nothing that a Burger King and a few bottles of water could cure I had hoped…
amazing products
emzo applying amazing blue mascara!
my amazing purple nail varnish!
