In my constant chitter chatter about about hair I have on twitter, I ended up getting into hair chats with fabulous Sinead Kelly (follow her here).

Sinead is an award winning celebrity hairdresser, with her self-titled salon in beautiful Barnes in South West London. And guess what… Sinead invited me along to get the Sinead Kelly treatment! I had a hair botox treatment, a cut and a fab blowdry and curls.

 And this is what the Sinead Kelly treatment looks like…

Sinead gave me a fab tutorial about how to tong my hair without frazzling the ends using Mark Hill Ceramic Curling Tongs which is available at Boots. I shall do a post on that as soon as I have practised it to perfection. There’s a definite knack and I am all about protecting my poor dry ends!

 And I thought you might like to have a little look at the cut before Sinead curled it for me. So here are a couple of shots of that too!

Excuse the gratuitous appearance of the bag!! I had it there because I quickly whipped my camera out…honest!

Sinead’s salon is absolutely gorgoeus. It has a lovely relaxing atmosphere, I kind of felt like I wanted to move in there. In fact I loved Barnes so much that I googled house prices when I got home!! It’s OK though, I definitely can’t afford it…yet!

Also while I was there Kimberly Wyatt was having her hair done too and I do love a little brush with a celeb every now and then!!

Right before I tell you anything “technical” about this gorgeous new mascara from Dior, I have to show you this…

This is one quick coat with absolutely no other makeup on. As you can see it has the most amazing volumising and lengthening effect and I have to say that it really has been love at first sight/application.

This is potentially the best mascara I have ever tried!

The brush was a surprise to me as I have always been familiar with the big fat brushes of the original Diorshow. At first look I wasn’t convinced that it could achieve such an amazing result.

But as you can see, it really does, even with just one quick coat. Just the look of it is enough for me but for anyone that needs to know more about what this mascara offers, here’s a few bits of info you may like to know.

The ‘nanobrush’ is made of  ground-breaking new material and is a combination of supple rubber and resistant plastic. It features 2 parts – the lower one has 4 reservoirs and separating spikes, which load lashes from the root and allows maximum extension while the upper part has a ‘lash catcher’ micro-headto make sure you catch every one.

Lash Multiplier Serum which helps to coat each lash and the Dior Black Glass pigment with light-reflecting particles has a reported magnifying effect, increasing the depth and shine of the colour.

Excitingly, Diorshow New Look is enriched with a regenerating treatment serum, with Royal Jelly extract which repairs the damaged parts of the fibre, and re-texturises the lash. It reacts to body heat to fluidify  contact with the eyelid which allows serum to release its active ingredients as close as possible to the lash line.

So not only does it make your lashes appear longer and fuller, it is actually treating them to create stronger, thicker lashes. Yay!!

I wore this mascara all day and night yesterday and the lashes retained their dramatic effect, in terms of volume, length and colour, and there was absolutely no smudging. I carried it in my bag because it looks so beautiful, but there was no need to re-apply.

It came off easily with my cleanser which is key as I sometimes find that long lasting mascaras are difficult to remove, which causes stress and irritation to the delicate eye area.

So, in summary, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT!!

It comes in 3 shades: New Look Black, New Look Brown & New Look Blue and will be available nationwide 31st January 2012 priced at £23.
