Hello lovely ladies! I have packed my suitcase and left my beautiful home town, Cape Town to work in an exotic land. By the time you read this I will be on an airplane heading towards the Middle East. I will be working in Qatar for a month with my travelling theatre company. All is not lost I will be back in South Africa in a months time to tell you all about my exotic adventures. This will be my first time overseas so I am freaking out a little from excitement and anticipation for all the adventures that awaits me. First stop is Dubai. I need to get my shopping on! Then I head to Qatar to actually do some work. Oh, and get my shopping on! Hehehe

 With that being said I am going to miss my beautiful South Africa, especially Cape Town.

Things I will miss about Cape Town:
- The beautiful beaches
- The friendly and vibrant people 
- The delicious food
- The gorgeous scenery and nature
- My family and friends

Have no fear! Diva Desle is still here! I have awesome scheduled posts lined up to keep you updated on all things beauty and fashionable. You can also follow me on Twitter here and Facebook here. Hopefully when I come back I can fill up my travel blog post folder with some of my adventures and have a super duper giveaway!

Wish me all the best ladies... I need it!:-) I'm feeling home sick already. 
Lots of divaliscious kisses.

Beauty Bulletin sent me a sample of the new fragrance by Katy Perry called Killer Queen. The perfume comes in a regal red and gold bottle that resembles a queen's crown and sceptre in one. The bottle reminds me of those medieval potion capsules that queens use in fairytales. It is quite a pretty bottle and would be fun to display on your dressing table. Katy Perry was initially inspired by Queens Song Killer Queen that portrays a strong and powerful woman. 

The perfume contains strong top notes of Dark Plum, Bergamot and Wild Berry with base notes of Liquid Praline, Casmeran and Natural Patchouli. The heart notes are Red Velvet Flower, Rainbow Plumeria and Natural Jasmin Sambac. On its initial spray the dark plum and wild berry notes come through very strong at first but fades out as the scent turns into the sweet red velvet flower scent.

I have to admit that I am not a fan of this perfume at all. The scent is quite musky, deep and dark at first but fades into a very overbearing sweet scent. It reminds me of cheap perfume that they sell at pharmacy stores. It smells like something from my grandma's toiletry bag, musky yet sweet. With many celebrity fragrances out there, this one is as generic as the rest. There is nothing that sets this scent apart. It definitely smells similar to Lady Gaga's Fame fragrance but has a darker undertone. I won't be rushing out to buy it.

Thumbs down from me!

TRESEMME 

KERATIN SMOOTH

Thanks to Beauty South Africa I had the privileged of testing the new Tresemme Keratin Smooth range. Being someone that struggles to tame my frizzy locks I was very grateful to receive these little 100ml bottles of shampoo and conditioner. The Keratin Smooth range promises to control frizz for up to 48 hours leaving your hair looking smooth and sleek like you just stepped out of the salon. Sounds good to me!

Keratin Smooth Shampoo:

The shampoo has a murky liquid consistency and flows easily out of the bottle. With one application the shampoo lathers well and cleanses the hair thoroughly. It has a very light texture which makes rinsing the product out of the hair a breeze. I love that it smooths the hair while cleansing it. My hair felt soft, clean and manageable. The shampoo has a very pleasant sweet floral smell with a hint of rose water that stays on the hair.

Keratin Smooth Conditioner:

The conditioner is my favourite out of the two products. It has a creamy white texture that soaks into the hair. I could really feel the keratin working through my locks in this product. As I combed the conditioner through, my hair became untangled and frizz free. I love using conditioners so I decided to keep this conditioner on for 10 minutes longer as a pampering treat. As I rinsed the product out I was surprised at how smooth and straight my hair appeared to be. As I said above I struggle to tame my frizzy tresses so I was really happy with the results so far. 

My Verdict:

I let my hair dry naturally to see if the Keratin Smooth range really does smooth the hair as it says it does. To my surprise my hair was soft, frizz free and felt really smooth when it was completely dry. I just love the sweet scent which lingers on my hair for days after washing it. Even my pillow smelt like the sweet Keratin range. 

My one gripe with the Tresemme products is the bottle packaging. The plastic bottles are quite cumbersome which doesn't make it easy for travelling. Even though the products fall easily out of the bottles, when the bottles are almost empty it is really difficult to squeeze most of the product out towards the end. I love using my products to the last drop, so trying to access the conditioner sitting right at the bottom of the bottle proved very difficult.

Even though the packaging is not ideal I highly recommend the Tresemme Keratin Smooth range for those who would like soft manageable frizz free hair. You really won't be disappointed!
