Heaven milk truffle bar

I’ve just received a new bar of chocolate made by Nestle – Heaven milk truffle. The packaging looks expensive and the cost of a bar of chocolate ranges from £1.39 – £2.49. At this price, I’m thinking the chocolate is aimed at real chocoholics looking for an intense chocolate rush!

Opening the packet I’m a little disappointed to see how thin the chocolate squares are! That’s probably me just being greedy though The chocolate is absolutely gorgeous. Rich chocolate and a praline filling. One square just isnt enough and I end up eating 4 before I can safely say I love this stuff!

It will be a definite buy in the future, but probably for when I’m home alone on an evening and want a treat I wont be expected to share, haahaa!

Smart high lighting kits

Last Sunday I decided to try out a new high lighting kit – Smart high lights. The kit is professional looking with a cap, hook, mixing bowl and brush, gloves, colour and mixer, and some shampoo. The instructions are in colour and are informative giving the impression a salon created look could easily be recreated in your bathroom.

I put the cap on and following the instructions began to pull strands of hair through the holes in the cap. This isnt as easy as it sounds. It took several attempts to pull enough strands through each hole to look like I’d be making a difference when I applied the colour, and because of the nature of the cap, I was slipping the hook into the holes and a lot of the time wasnt catching any hair to pull through! Maybe if I’d enlisted the help of a friend to stand over me they would of had better luck but after 10 minutes I’d only managed to pull hair through 5 or 6 of the holes! Getting to the back of my head would have been nearly impossible too, despite the picture of a model managing it in the instructions!

Giving up, the cap came off, with a plan to use an old high lighting comb I’d received free in a kit a few years back. 48 hours before I’d done my skin test and my colour test and knew 35 minutes would leave me with a decent colour change. I applied the colour where I wanted my blonde streaks to sit, and waited for 30 minutes before impatiently washing the colour off! The end result is natural and my hair is looking healthy. My only complaint would be the impracticality of expecting a member of the public to be able to use a high lighting cap like the pro’s!
