So many pretty things, so little space. If you could see me now you’d know that I’m not only wearing an exquisite SK-II cloth mask and testing three eyeliners as I type, but I’m also a disaster waiting to happen. So steeped and completely surrounded by new and shiny buys am I that if an emergency exit situation should arise, I’m toast. I’d never get out from under my glosses.
So choosing a few favourite finds of the week seems an insurmountable, almost cruel task – a little like a mother choosing her preferred child. But if I must…
Let me start with silicone. It’s not the most glamorous-sounding accomplice, I grant you, but in this sizzling-one-day, drizzling-the-next weather, it’s my hair’s new best friend. I know what you’re thinking: isn’t that the same silicone you swore off after it made your colour a catastrophe in high school? Nooooo. These new-gen silicones are tremendous sealants, trapping moisture in and locking humidity out to defy dryness and frizz in one move. And they wash out with each shampoo. I couldn’t have made it through the week respectably without them in Pantene Pro-V’s Frizz Defence Anti-Frizz Serum ($14.99). I owe them.
In fact, I may even carve out an escape route from this desk to the closest Revlon counter right now. If only I can find which way is up…
