Denman D3 Hairbrush Review

I can't believe it is Tuesday already, life is going too fast at the moment!

Almost two weeks ago I purchased a product I had been longing after for a long time; the Denman D3 hairbrush. For too long now I had been using a cheap brush much to the mercy of my hair, so I decided it was time to stop being so cheap and just go ahead and buy this.

Cleverly taglined as 'the hairdresser's brush', Denman have been producing hairbrushes since 1938 and now have a wide, well established range. These brushes are built to last, and have natural rubber pads to prevent static in your hair. The D3 is just one of many, they also retail paddle, curling, grooming, vent and thermoceramic straightening brushes.

As I have really thick and really long hair, I need a brush that will cut through tangles without breaking my hair. The D3 works perfectly for this purpose, as its 7 rows of Nylon pins glide through my hair and instantly cut through the knots. Unlike most hairbrushes, the pins don't have those small balls on the end of the bristles which I find better for my hair, as it prevents further tangling.

The brush itself is really lightweight and easy to hold, making it perfect to use whilst also holding a style tool i.e. GHDs. 

For only £7.09, I can't recommend this hairbrush enough. If you don't already have a Denman in your life, you really are missing out.

Naughty Haul

When Ash Wednesday hit this year, I couldn't think of any better than to give up spending for lent. But, as the days drew longer and my new foundation started to run out, my lust for new products got the better of me and I went shopping. I know what you're thinking, I failed. I gave up too easily and I wasn't committed enough to stick it out. But, the feel of my card in the chip and pin device, carrying new bags home and being able to post a brand new haul for you guys... Damn, it's so good. I sound like Rebecca Bloomwood don't I?

Here's the items I purchased during my naughty haul:

I didn't buy too much, but it satisfied me all the same. 

Rimmel London True Match foundation in 201 Classic Beige - £6.99

Barry M nail polish in 296 Coral - £2.99

Denman D3 medium 7 row hairbrush - £7.09 (random price, isn't it?!)

2 True waterproof eyeliner - £1.99

Garnier Moisture Match 'Shine Be Gone' mattifying moisturiser - £5.99

Primark Home pillowcases - £1.80 each

Primark Home Elderflower and Champagne candle - £2.00

Now for the excuses behind the splurge; I've needed a new hairbrush for a long while now and I've been 'making do' with a cheap one for too long much to the dismay of my hair... my foundation and eyeliner both ran out the day before I went shopping... those beautiful pillowcases are pretty much impossible to resist and the candle was an impulse buy when queueing due to it's amazing scent. Am i forgiven? I didn't think so.

 I'm going to try out the Garnier moisturiser over the next few days and post my thoughts as part of my 'Tuesday Reviewsday' post!

In other news, I am still waiting on three of the items I purchased for my 100 followers giveaway to arrive! :( As soon as they do I will get the post up asap, I'm so excited to be doing my first giveaway!

Hope you're all having a great weekend.
