Lothantique

Lothantique soaps epitomise tradition, provenance and a little French luxury. Brigid from La Cave says, “The company began making soaps in the 1920s in the Provençal village of Châteauneuf Saint Donat. It has been run by the same family for three generations and the brand is now world renowned.” It is from the natural treasures of Provence that Lothantique draws all the richness of its amazing products. Brigid says their most popular soaps from the range are the Donkey’s Milk, Aloe Vera and Argan Oil soaps in bars and liquid soap.

Discover them and many more French treasures at La Cave, 51A Riverlea Road, Hillcrest, Hamilton.

Spring has Sprung

What's blooming in hairstyles this spring is voluminous hair, dramatic textured chops and bold statement fringes, some have even come back from the 70s. Imagine the Kiwi mullet meets Nan’s perm and their love child is the new “wolf cut”. So put the straighteners down and start living LARGE. These cuts are all about embracing your natural movement and bounce while enjoying the playful flirty side of life. The perfect, at home hair care product that Mousey Brown is obsessed with is Keune Dry Texture spray $30.20 (200ml). Just a few sprays of this into dry hair will leave you with outstanding texture with a flexible hold thanks to the dry cleansing complex which absorbs oil without leaving a white residue behind. What's hot for this spring in colour work is face framing highlights, giving a soft, lighter look around the face while bold colour placement is always fun. We love the rich, warm chestnuts, rusty coppers, warm coffee caramel and champagne blondes, perfect for creating texture to emphasise your personalised cut.

If this sounds a bit of you, give the crew at Mousey Brown a call. 2B Gordonton Road, Huntington, Hamilton. www.mouseybrown.co.nz
