Internationally acclaimed hair care experts, Schwarzkopf, are excited to announce the launch of the latest in breakthrough technology for hair. Schwarzkopf Professional BC Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment is a hair oil product which distributes evenly throughout the hair without overburdening it, leaving it strong, shiny and soft.

Taking inspiration from the trend of essential oils in skincare, Schwarzkopf have combined a unique blend of precious oils to ensure even distribution and no heaviness, on even the finest of hair. Just like on the skin, precious essential oils nourish, strengthen and protect the hair, making it healthy and beautiful.

The breakthrough formula in BC Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment is the carrier oil, which ensures that the botanical oil is distributed evenly and finely throughout the hair, leaving no residue build up. The carrier oil then evaporates while drying, leaving only the precious botanical oil behind in an ultra-fine layer.

This unique Evaporating Technology speeds up blow-drying and protects against frizziness, making hair easier to style and manage. No heaviness and no greasy residue – just opulent shine and incredible softness.

The new BC Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment is the perfect choice if you have medium to think or very porous, fine hair. This beautiful amber coloured oil is filled with the richness of Argan Oil, especially valued for it’s anti-oxidative and cosmetic properties. Rich in unsaturated fats, it helps strengthen and nourish the hair’s natural protective cover, leaving it full of volume and brilliantly soft.

The light variant is the first oil to be specifically formulated for fine hair types, but can also be used on healthy, thick to medium hair that would benefit from an additional burst of softness and shine.

This luxurious honey coloured oil is enriched with Marula Oil, which is full of large amounts of Vitamin C, Oleic acids and filled with anti-oxidants. These precious qualities ensure beautiful softness and shine, without overburdening even the finest hair.

Both BC Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment variants are gentle and light enough to be used every day. Simply apply the required amount to towel dried hair, distributing evenly throughout then blow-dry and style as desired.

Just two coats of Orly Prince Charming will give your nails a rich but subtle brown crème finish and suits all skin tones. Prince Charming matches perfectly with this season’s soft-coloured cable knit cardigans, seamlessly complements your leathers and remains flawlessly on trend when hitting the bar after work.

For a slightly darker, edgier desk-to-dancefloor shade, try Orly’s limited edition grey shimmer Sea Gurl. Celebrity manicurist and Orly Australia Creative Director Fiona Hay says, “The black pearlescent shimmer of Sea Gurl is one of the hottest colours of the season”. 

But to add a little bling, Orly’s Manicure Miniature in Rage (rose gold) will do the trick. Right on trend with the Balmain AW 11/12 collection showcasing tailored metallic pants, suits and minis, Fiona says, “This nail colour adds a subtle foil textured finish, making it divine for day or night.”

If you’re after a look as strong as the winter born Leos, try Orly’s Ruby, a deluxe red-brown crème. This regal gem packs a bold punch, yet can be made softer for the cooler months thanks to Orly’s Matte Top topcoat. 

This winter, don’t let the clouds bring you down. Ignite the passion in your winter wardrobe with Orly’s warm and textured winter nail trends.
