Schwarzkopf Super Styling Creme-Gel
Obtained: Gift bag.
Thoughts:
I don’t like using gel in my hair because I prefer styles which are free and more natural but I quite like this for styling short hair. I’ve used it on several different models on James’ photoshoots and it worked very well in men’s hair to give volume and style with very little effort. In all but one of the models I used it on the hold was great, the other guy had very hard to manage hair which just would not stick so I’d say this still worked pretty well. It smelled quite nice too so I would definitely use it if I did styles requiring gel ore often!
Would I buy Schwarzkopf Super Styling Creme-Gel again: Maybe, I don’t do many styles that require this kind of product but it’s good to have just in case.

Hello welcome to the third Friday video woo!
Yeah I’m probably going to stop counting now.
I can’t count higher than 3!
So today’s video is a special one because it’s a competition!
Yay competition!
Specifically a Bergamot themed competition!
I feel the applause!
Moving on.
So, Bergamot themed competition, firstly why?
Well I wanted to celebrate the fact that you guys are still watching my videos after all of this time.
I recently passed having 100 videos on this channel which is kind of a milestone too.
The biggest thing was something I’ve been working on for the last 6-8 months and that is Bergamot’s first book!
Back in November when I first came up with the concept for Bergamot Bunny I held a competition on my blog to help think of her name.
So te winner was a lovely girl called Bekah who came up with the name Bergamot which is an ingredient in Earl Grey Tea and she came up with a super cute story too.
It’s all about Bergamot living in an Earl Grey Tea factory and finding her way all the way to me in Australia.
So for the last several months (and I feel really guilty that it’s taken me this long to do it) I’ve been drawing and painting and watercolouring a book to put the story to life and give it illustrations.
There might be a hardcover version available in a few months but I’m still ironing out the details for that.
So in the mean time to say thank you to everyone who sent me messages and visited the store and been generally supportive on the blog and everything.
I’ve set up a free download for the book on my blog, link down below.
You can download a high res version or a low res depending on your internet speed and you can also view it online on my blog.
And maybe I’ll make it into a little video too so you can view it here, that would be pretty cute.
Little page turning graphics, it would be like story time!
So make sure you check out the link in the description to get your own copy of “The Tale of Bergamot Bunny”.
The other thing we’re celebrating is Bergamot’s new website.
I’ve been working on this for a while as well, it’s getting pretty crowded on VioletLeBeaux.com so I thought it was time that Bergamot moved out.
I don’t share space well.
So now she has her own website at BergamotBunny.com
Link in the description.
So check that out.
There’s going to be new pictures and comic books all the time including desktop wallpapers and all kinds of cute stuff.
So if you’re a fan of Bergamot go and follow her new website.
Now the competition, which I’m sure is what you’re all actually waiting for.
Im still working on getting the plushies done but if you want to win your own plushie and win your choice of something from the Bergamot shop.
So for example a nice phone charm or a necklace or a necklace or bracelet or earrings or something like that.
Just enter this competition!
What you need to do to enter is leave me a comment on this video or my blog post telling me what you to see Bergamot get up to next.
It could be that you want her to have her own Facebook page or maybe she should have an adventure with a cute boy or maybe I don’t know, you want me to introduce all of her friends. I don’t know.
Be creative. Judged on creativity so be as creative as you can.
See the full transcript on the blog or on turn on closed captions.

Oh my gosh so much Bergamot news today!
The Bergamot book based on The Moonlight Seedling’s name Bergamot competition entry is FINISHED! I cannot tell you how glad I am to be able to cross this one off my to do list, I’ve felt really guilty on taking so long but I think the finished product is a great start for Bergamot’s adventures and I am looking forward to drawing more now.
The book tells the story of how Miss Bergamot Bunny came to have her name and make her way from her home in an English Earl Grey tea factory to Australia.
I have a hardcover version of the book coming in the next few weeks which I can’t wait to show you guys but for now, you can download the PDF version (optimised for iPad viewing too!) by clicking the link below or you can view it in the gallery below too.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it and a HUGE thank you to The Moonlight Seedling for her original competition entry 😀
In relation to that, I thought it was time that Bergamot got her own website! She now has her own tumblr which will be filled with Bergamot related drawings, comics, free downloads and other fun things (hint hint, I’ll be introducing her friends soon!). If you like Bergamot please go check out her new site!
