Always be safe and perform an Allergy Test before using any hair colour. Hair colour products may cause allergic reactions, which in rare instances can be serious. Do not colour if you’ve had a previous reaction. To help minimize your risk, it is important to perform the skin allergy test 48 hours prior to every application.

  • Amazing product for inbetween colourings.

    I am preparing to go on a touring holiday so that means my hair has to be healthy but most importantly for me GREY FREE. This time I decided to go rich auburn. I have noticed lately that my greys turn into a nice lighter highlight shade. The results again were brilliant, my hair is glowing with a healthy sheen and shine and using a shampoo for coloured hair the colour seems to stay in for ages. Once again this product applied very well with the applicator brush and I love the fact that Root Touch-Up does not drip.
    Simply brilliant ..simply Clairol.

  • Quick and easy to use!

    I loved this product. Application was super easy and coverage was great. It matched well to my existing colour and left my hair feeling soft and silky. I actually put this in my hair while cooking dinner and getting ready to go out, you’ve got to love multitasking! I would gladly use this product again.

  • One word....awesome!

    This product is brilliant and SUCH a time saver! With two young kids in two being able to use something so simple and such a time saver is fabulous. I have been grey since I was 17 so colouring has been part of my life for over 20 years. I absolutely hate it….normally….it takes forever to do, so I end up only doing it intermittently and end up with greys for ages…..not anymore….I am hooked!

  • Easy Peasy

    The thing i love most about this product was the convenience. Easy to mix, easy to apply, easy to wait a much shorter developing time. I could take a pack on holiday and be assured I could maintain my colour without having to waste too much time. And the colour match was spot on.

  • Fantastic

    I usually get one of my family to do my hair but this time I did it myself and I found it so easy with the brush attachment, the black colour blended well with the rest of my hair and the smell didn’t drive me crazy, this is a product I will definitely be using again.

  • Great drip free product. Good coverage

    This was very easy to use. It fact doing my daughters hair was brilliant. A lot of fun
    It covered the greys. It covered the areas that needed touching up. And. It mixed well with her colour .. I really like it.
    And the smell was pleasant. No stinky like some.
    Yes I would use this on my own hair .

  • Nice n Easy!

    Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up is a very easy hair dye to use.
    It blended beautifully with my existing hair colour.
    After using Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up my hair looked rich, vibrant and oh so very shiny!
    The only downside to Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up is that it only provides enough formula for one application, where’s the product I use now, I can split in half getting two applications per purchase.

  • Great for those pesky grey pop ups.

    Well this weekend I decided to try something different. I purchased two complete different colours..mixed 1/2 of each in different containers and applied in a streaking technique..one section golden blonde the other a cherry red. Wow what an effect ..I am lovin this look.
    Once again this Nice ‘N’ Easy Root Touch up was easy and drip free and and after a rinse and dry, my hair shone with multi facet high lights. I do have to say though this Root Touch Up is as pricey as normal hair dry and probably given a deal of thought, I would say, it should maybe be a little less pricey..but as I have short hair I never mix up or use the whole box in one go.
    This product does touch up your greys and provides a lovely luscious shine.

  • Works well

    Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up provides simple step by step instructions and is very easy to use. Is does only take 10 minutes, however you still need to rinse your hair, although a shampoo is not required.
    Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up was easy to match up with my existing colour and I was very happy with the results, a near seamless blend, that was shiny and bright.
    The only downfall of Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up is that it costs just about the same of a full bottle of colour. I can buy a full bottle, use half and keep the other half for next time.

  • Sounds good

    Great idea. But I have gone back to doing my roots with half a bottle of the normal nice and easy colour.
    I just found value for money and better results using the larger box and in between times prefer to use a hair crayon that’s really fast and super easy.
    The 10 mins sounds great but un reality you’ll probably leave it in for longer and you still have to wash your hair anyway.

  • LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS HAIR COLOUR!

    The nice n easy touch up is so super easy to use – and so quick! I get my hair coloured every 6-8 weeks in a salon and find the convenience of using nice n easy touch up in the middle (to cover the greys) is great! It is super easy to use, doesn’t take very long at all to pop on and is easy to wash out. Before you know it, you’re on your way out with a freshened up colour!

  • Quick and easy

    Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up is easy to use and only takes about 10 minutes to do. It is definitely only for touch ups and there is not enough product for a full colour. The instructions for Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up are simple to follow and the end result was a nice blend with my orginal hair colour also being vibrant and rich.

  • Simple to use

    Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up is a very simple hair colour to use. It blended nicely with the colour that was already in my hair. My hair looked rich and vibrant and much better for using Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up. In saying this however, I think I’ll stick to the brand I use, as Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up only provide one application, where’s the product I use now, I only use half each time, getting two applications per purchase.

  • Simply great for inbetween colour sessions.

    Actually gave my whole head a colour a few weeks back, so now it’s time for a touch up. This time I decided to go with auburn highlights. With a base hazelnut colour the auburn just added a lovely coppery glow. Once again this product applied very well with the applicator brush and I love the fact that Root Touch-Up does not drip. Also I love the fact that if you have only minimal grey hairs or you just want to lightly highlight your hair, it is possible to only mix up 1/2 the product and use the other 1/2 at a later date.

  • Expensive for what you get

    I purchased Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up and while it is easy to use, gives rich, vibrant colour to your hair and is a good match if you previously coloured your hair with Nice ‘N Easy range, I did not feel it was value for money. It costs similar to a full hair dye Nice ‘N Easy permanent colour and I just halve this and mix it up in a plastic hairdressers bowl and apply it with a brush and I get two applications out of the one packet. Great idea but the cost has to come way down!

  • great

    i used this product and it was pretty easy to use. when you get to the back of your head though, you will need a mirror or a friend to help you apply the colour efficiently! i wish that the applicator brush was a little bit bigger but overall i would say that this was a great product. i like the nice’n easy brand and have used them for a few years although i do try others every now and then, i do keep coming back to this brand

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
