Recently I have been admiring how much my hair has grown this year and lowkey impressed with how I managed to get it into such good condition after years of dealing with damaged locks.
I'm going to be honest, I did have to make a LOAD of changes in order for me to start growing out my hair but it has been totally worth it. So I thought I would sit down today and share with you all the tips and tricks that have actually worked for me.
It’s that time again…I’m giving you the run down and all the deets on the crème de la crop (or should I say La Mer) of the best beauty products this year. You don’t want to miss this…
These are products I used consistently throughout 2018 and consistently proved they are great quality, worth the price and I would definitely re-purchase over and over again. I warn you, there are a HEAP of skincare products because I got super into my regime this year and found so many incredible new favourites.
So this is the ultimate list of the best beauty products of 2018!
So I've been busy adapting to the demands of my newly brunette locks. Gone are the purple shampoos and in their place are colour protecting treatments.
This post is all about sharing with you my current hair care routine to keeps my locks shiny, strong and vibrant in colour.
I've got some really cool products to show you so let's get into it!
There is also a sale currently on the 18in1 range so I would highly recommend grabbing them while the prices are lowered and you can use code JORDY10 for an extra 10% off! SHOP HERE.
Beauty is one of the categories in the budget where money can just dissapear. I mean, you can't help it right?
You need to be hairless, except the hair on your head must be flawless and you also need your nails done. Then you've got makeup, skincare and things like eyelash extensions to pay for! It can get a little out of hand. So here are 5 beauty tips that will save you both time AND money allowing you reach your budget goals.
If you know me well then you understand while I’m a huge sceptic – I’m always willing to give something a go. You’ll never see me talking about diet teas or waist trainers because I don’t fall for crap and I hate hype.
But when it comes to claims the beauty industry makes – throw it at me and I’ll put it to the test!
So when I was contacted by a company that claimed to grow my hair quickly in just 6 weeks – I wasn’t sure what to expect. That was about 2 months ago and after using the products consistently my hair has never felt healthier and thicker. While yes, it is NOTICEABLY a lot longer.
I have quite slow growing hair so I know it is definitely due to this haircare regime I have been following from ‘Bondi Boost’.

I want to get some sick before and after picture to be patient with me so I can really do the product justice and show what a dramatic effect it can have.
As someone who have been various degrees of blonde my whole life, I have definitely gotten to a stage now where I can finally grow my hair out long because I know how to take care of it while still being blonde.
I struggled with hair breakage for most of my life and have often had extremely thin hair that won't grow past shoulder length. Over the past few years I have really mastered the art of taking care of my hair so that it is healthy and nourished enough to grow. Now that I've followed these tips, my hair is longer than ever and way past bra strap length.
Read on to find out 6 of my biggest tips for preventing hair breakage as a blonde.
Recently I've been ALL ABOUT that haircare life. I think a lot of it comes from when I get my hair re-done and feel the drying effects of the bleach as well as wanting my hair to become thicker and healthier generally.
So I have been investing in my haircare a little bit more so than usual lately, dabbling in some higher end brands which focus in-depth on hair care and reconstituting your hair make-up.
In this post I wanted to discuss a new range I've been using from Kerastase called 'aura botanica' and it's three step series of haircare.
Kerastase say to offer truly effective care to enhance natural, lightly revitalized hair to leave it with a healthy glow. This range is also 98%-99% natural - I like the sound of that. It also seems to be quite a trend at the moment with natural haircare, especially after the uproar with sulphates a few years ago.
Whether you love your hair or hate it, everyone has days where they just want to make a drastic change. However, on those days you shouldn’t make any big commitments like cutting it or dying it, as you probably haven’t thought the decision through very well. Luckily for you, there are plenty of ways to completely change your hair without losing a single strand of it. Try these simple methods for a complete hair makeover that totally temporary.
A couple of weeks ago I swapped my regular blonde for lavender locks and wanted to share my experience with the process.
If you follow me over on Instagram you would already be well acquainted with my little purple experiment but I also wanted to do a fully inclusive blog post about the entire process.
I worked with L'Oreal and their new range 'Colorful Hair' and the amazing hairdressing salon FruITion Hair at Wilston to make my purple hair dreams become reality. Let me tell you, with so many gorgeous colour options from the new hair range I was struggling to decide between pink, purple and blue but ultimately thought purple was a safe bet. My thinking was that it isn't too different to toning blonde hair with purple shampoo and for that reason, the fade out of the colour would be a low maintenance process.
So let me talk you through how it all went down... and lots of pictures (obvi).
I've tried some different things and had some new beauty treatments lately so I thought I would go through them and recap these experiences.
We're going to be talking about giving up alcohol for a month, my first acupuncture experience, my customized Kerastase treatment and Skistitut facial experience.
This Saturday just gone I swapped my usual weekend attire of living in my active wear for a black tie dress code.
Really, who doesn't like an excuse to dress up? Even if the night ends with eating cheeseburgers in the back of a cab, at least you look like you have your life together while doing so because your hair is in place. Although not the same case with my lipstick, but that's another story..
Anyway what I'm here to talk about are all the details of my outfit, hair and makeup from the night. Spoiler alert: my dress only cost me $80.
Back to my salon visit. I was there to experience a customized Kerastase Treatment, which I have previously tried and you can read all about that experience here. But every time is different because your hair changes in what it needs depending on a lot of factors; the weather, how much styling you have been doing and if you have recently done something different with your colour. Think of it like a cocktail mixed up just for what your hair needs.
My blonde haired readers, this one is for you! If you have colour treated hair (and by that I mean torture your hair with bleach like myself) then you too might struggle with split ends and dry golden locks.
I am always looking for products on the market that I can look to that bring my hair back to life and I think I may have found a hidden gem that isn't just all talk.
'Split ends repairing', 'keratin protein', 'advanced milk strengthener' and other jargon terms used for products that show no results...but this is where this product actually lives up to the hype. It is a nourishing leave in cream that I find is much more than that and can be used in a multitude of different ways.
Recently I was invited to the trendiest salon on James Street Brisbane, TogninisHair, to experience the newest hair treatment from Kerastase.
The 'Fusio-Dose' Hair Treatment goes beyond all other hair treatments, using the latest technology and incredible products from Kerastase. My amazing hair technition was Shaun (follow him on Instagram @ShaunHasInstagram).
Not all hairdryers are made the same and this Babyliss one takes the cake for coolest on the market. Labelled the 'Ferrari of blow dryers' because the motor was made by the luxurious car brand - this model is no joke.
They say that the main difference between cheap and expensive blow dryers is the motor so knowing that this model is made by Ferrari gives me high hopes of it's quality.
There is nothing worse than buying a hairdryer and having it die on you a couple of months afterwards. I am of the opinion that it is worth it to invest in good quality products if they are going to last you a good amount of time.
It is festival season here in Australia and to get you through all of the music events I want to run you through my festival survival pack.
This post is covering everything you could need for hair, accessories and beauty. I may also put together a follow up post for the makeup side of things because you can get really fun and creative with festivals.
If you are anything like me then hair isn't a top priority when rushing out the door before work and makeup/ selecting an outfit tends to take up most of the time.
So with the long Easter weekend coming up there might be a bit of extra time to spend on those neglected locks. I might actually try with my hair for once since I have a bit of extra time so I have pulled together three products that I would recommend giving a go on your hair.
You know what time it is; Tuesday’s are for quick tips here on Jordy’s Beauty Spot and I am here with a quick and easy one to do with time management.
It’s what I like to call the cram beauty sesh and it is exactly what it sounds like.
If you come home from work and are feeling extremely tired and run down then something picks you up more than pampering yourself. The main issue that might be stopping you from reaching for the face masks is being so exhausted that you don’t have the energy to bother with a full length pamper session. Introducing the cram beauty sesh.
October was a busy month in new releases onto the market so I thought I would sit down and talk you through all of these new products you might want to check out for yourself.
We have a variety of haircare, skincare, bodycare and makeup tools at all price ranges so let's get into it. These are the products that have stood out to me among all other new releases and that I would recommend checking out.
