Introducing Garnier Olia!

Have you ever seen a product and knew the ideal candidate for it? 

That's exactly how I felt about Garnier's new product Olia. 

As you can tell Olia is an oil powered hair dye! 

I don't dye my hair but I knew someone who would benefit from this process.

OLIA utilizes the revolutionary Oil Delivery System (ODS) which allows for better colour absorption. The ODS’s oil-based formula uses oil to repel “waterloving” MEA (an ammonia derivative) and force it into the water-based hair fiber resulting in more of the colourant penetrating the hair fiber.

I asked a good friend if I could tryout this product on her. She didn't want to be shown/identified although I told her my spiced beauty readers were all very nice..haha. Anyways she allowed me to use her head on the condition that she got to screen all the shots after I took them

. For the sake of the blog and her hair- I took her offer.

She has gorgeous long straight locks that needed some TLC after years of bleaching!

Up close you can see that she needs a trim as well..

Garnier OLIA makes it possible to achieve the desired colour while visibly improving hair quality and providing optimal scalp comfort. Garnier OLIA transforms the hair colour preparation and application experience through with a rich texture, increased formula absorption, and beautiful fragrance.

The process was pretty easy and straight forward.

I've been around hair dye and gagged at the horrible scent. Olia had a pleasant light scent. 

Not overwhelming or overbearing. I doubt anyone even knew what we were doing!

After washing out the dye her hair felt amazing. It was soft, shiny & vibrant.

I dont think my camera did it any justice but click these pictures to see the full colour quality.

I can't comment on the aftercare but I can say that she seemed really happy with the outcome.

Garnier Olia debuts in Canada January 2013!

Holiday Nails: OPI Bond-ettes Limited Edition Mini Lacquer Set

If you're not into hair or makeup, nails is the easiest way to make a statement. 

Call me old fashioned but I still love a gorgeous red or shimmery manicure for the holidays. 

For the holiday inspiration, check out the OPI Bond-ettes Limited Edition Mini Lacquer Set ($14,95).

Bond-ettes features four shimmery shades from the new limited edition Skyfall lacquers, inspired by the latest installment in the James Bond series.The Bond-ettes mini set features a spectrum of light to dark shimmers: GoldenEye, The Spy Who Loved Me, Live and Let Die, and The World is Not Enough.

Check out these swatches from the Bond-ettes collection:

"The Spy Who Loved Me" is my favourite! 

I also liked the combo of having "Golden Eye" on top.

I love the ideas of the mini bottles in a set. It's very rare that I finish a full-sized bottle. Having minis in a set is also a great way to try out several colours from a collection.  It's also a great gift to give! You can pick up a set from your local Trade Secrets.

Which color is your favourite!

It's my four year blog anniversary!

I can't believe it's been four years already!

Honestly, time flies by so quickly. I started this blog as something to do (to improve my writing). I would have NEVER known that it would have gotten me some of the most amazing opportunities. Whether it was sitting front row at World Mastercard Fashion week or having dinner with Suzi Weiss-Fischmann of OPI Products Inc. I'm beyond blessed to say that this is something I do and love. Thank you all for commenting, reading & sharing each and every post I do. You're not obligated to do it but you do it.

2013 is my year to make Spiced Beauty a better/stronger beauty outlet.
One day, I dream that I can take this further and maybe it can be my full-time job but I know we all have to start out somewhere. To celebrate I will be having a few giveaways this month from some of my FAVOURITE companies that I have featured this year.

As usual, I am open to hearing about what you want to see more from me?

Do you want more outfits? Makeup looks? Lifestyle posts? Swatches?

Whatever it may be please let me know below.

To conclude all I have to say is Thank you!
