Dry Shampoo & Self Tan

Posted on August 20, 2010 at 11:09 AM

My daughter Sarah is over in Cyprus at the moment and as always she kindly brought me some products over.  I have finally got my  Tresemme dry shampoo - a must in this hot summer climate.  Why oh why can I not find this product in Cyprus.  They sell Tresemme Shampoos, conditioners and hairspray.

Hair Products on Test

Posted on June 17, 2010 at 2:22 AM

I have been testing out some new  TRESemme Hair Products this month to see

which work best in the heat.

When I did my hairdressing training I always loved TRESemme Professional products and was really pleased when they became available to non-professionals.

 

I normally use TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditione which is excellent during the hot summer months and really hydrates my hair.

Best foundation in humidity

Posted on June 16, 2010 at 7:23 AM

The weather is still getting hotter!!!

Paphos is  much more humidi than the rest of the island, so when temperatures reach 30 degrees and above it feels much hotter as you get very sticky.

The humidity reached nearly 90% a couple of days ago - more like July and August weather.  Felt like I was in sauna :)

 

I thought this was a good time to try out my favourite foundations but at different levels of humidity which I haven't monitored before.&...

iPad

Out in Paphos this morning whilst buying some IT bits from a local store I came across the new iPad!  I have been wanting to see it for real since it came out and there it was finally in Cyprus!  I am well impressed!  Truly portable, it is just so slim and neat.  Sadly I didn't have time to stay and look at all the features, but at least I have now seen it for real instead of on the internet.  Perfect for my eBook!

EASTER IN PAPHOS

Posted on March 29, 2010 at 9:49 AM

Well I thought I would share Easter in Paphos with you this month.

This is a great time of year to get married. The weather is warm and sunny most days and it is a very special time

of year for the Cypriots.

One thing I love is the way the towns and villages are decorated - even at the traffic lights and the road islands. It makes driving around Paphos doing my daily errands so much more fun! I will be very sad when Easter is over.

See my Easter Gallery Page - I hope ...

KAREN'S RAMBLINGS on make-up and salad leaves!

Posted on March 10, 2010 at 10:59 AM

What have I been up to this month?

The wedding season is now underway and it’s great to meet our couples after all the e-mails and phone calls leading up to their special day.

Jim had a great time taking their photos and I went along with him to capture some extra shots.

I have also being trying out some more cosmetics, ready for the summer season. But I have to say I was disappointed.

I love gel/cream eye liners and tend to use MAC, Clinique and Bobbi Brown. BUT...
