L'Oreal EverPure Shampoo and Conditioner Duo
I can't talk highly enough about this duo. I reviewed these back in July here. I dye my hair red and it fades so fast! I felt like this duo helped the colour last just that extra bit longer. I'm not using these guys at the mo, but I'll be buying them as soon as I've finished my current stuff.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry
Another hair product. I don't really need to go about this, everyone loves Batiste! I go through these sprays shamefully quickly! I use it underneath hairspray to keep my fringe in place and then to freshen up throughout the day. This is by far my favourite smell of the Batiste family and I buy it again and again.

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer
I always tend to skip priming my skin, even though I have quite a few primers in my make-up collection. I've been using up all my random pots and tubes. This is one of my favourite ones. I like the foamy texture and the slight pink tint which suits me.

Garnier Soothing Cleansing Lotion
I already have two back-ups of this, I love it so much. I use it to take off all my make-up at the end of the day (including my mascara) with a cotton pad or a muslin cloth. It goes so well with my toner as well so its a keeper! It leaves my skin with a nice sheen and in the morning my face feels really moisturised and plump.

L'Oreal EverPure




I've really got into haircare in the past year. I never used to 'shop' hair products. I used to just grab a bit bottle of tresemme shampoo (I didn't even buy conditioner - gasp!). In the past year or so, I've been noticing my hair drying out and getting static quite a lot so I've been trying to find products that complement each other and give my hair a more natural and glossy finish. L'Oreal Ever Pure Colour Care & Smoothing duo are my every day go-to hair care products.

I've been using it for just over two weeks and I can definitely see a difference in the condition my hair. My hair feels less tangled and it hasn't been static at all! Which is a miracle! I even feel that my colour hasn't faded as much, which I love! 

I would recommend this to anyone with coloured/dry hair. The only thing that might put you off is the scent. The shampoo is Rosemary & Juniper and you can really smell the rosemary in it. I don't normally like herbal smelling products, so its taken some time for me to get used to it. The conditioner is lovely though. It smells strongly of mint. It really wakes me up in the mornings!

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist part 2

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Masque

I really love this hair mask! 
I'm still really new to hair masks (as I said last time, I'm not very good at looking after my hair!) so I bought this on a whim when Superdrug had a BOGOF offer on the new L'Oreal range. 

This mask claims to reinforce hair and 'provides intensive care to fragile hair with a tendency to fall' and also to aid detangling. This describes my hair type exactly so I knew I had to have it! I'll be honest though, I've only used this mask a couple of times since I bought it, so on average about once every three weeks. It doesn't actually say how often to use it but I suppose once a week would be best in order to see real results but so far I'm loving it.
The texture is so lush! It's like a creamy conditioner, but its enriched with a serum that leaves my hair really glossy and smooth. I would recommend this to anyone.

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist part 1

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Treatment.

For a little while, I've felt that I am loosing way more hair daily than I should be. This is probably thanks to years of straightening my locks without heat protect (I know - I'm awful!) and colouring my hair thousands of different shades of red. With that in mind, I was really excited when I saw a BOGOF offer in Superdrug this week on the new L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist. I bought the hair mask (which I'll review in a later post) and the root spray.
I've tried a root spray before (the John Freida Collection Root Awakening Strength Boosting Leave-In Spray - pic on my dailybooth here). and this spray was something that I just loved! It was the first root spray I'd tried so don't have anything to compare it to, so it was an obvious choice to pick up this spray for free.

The 'triple resist' claims to reinforce and nourish hair while making it feel stronger. It also says that the root spray is for fragile hair with a tendancy to fall, which I deemed a perfect way to describe my hair atm.

This spray really intrigued me because it says you can use it on wet or dry hair up to twice a day. The weird thing about this compared to the John Freida version was that it didn't say to comb it through afterwards. I did this anyway, as I thought the product would start to build up on the roots.

How I prefer to use the root spray is as part of my blowdry. I section my hair and spray the roots, massage the formula into my scalp and then comb the excess product through the hair, add heat protector spray (I use this one) and then blow dry as usual.

L'Oreal Mythic Oil

For those of you who follow me on twitter, you will probably already know that I signed up for glossybox and got my first box this month.
I've been a fan of the whole idea behind it since I first heard of birchbox (the American version) nearly a year ago so was really excited to learn that there was going to be an English version. Like most people, I waited a few months to see what it was like before signing up myself.

I was going to do an open box post, but I'd seen a lot of them about and wanted to bring a different kind of post to the mix. So, I've decided to talk about my stand-out product from September's box: L'Oreal Mythic Oil.


I am in love with this product, honestly. I only received my glossybox ten days ago and already I've used so much of it.
I use it on wet hair after I've washed it just like I would a serum, but I also use it on dry hair to give my ends a boost and also just before bed as a mask.
The products claims to leave hair 'instantly more supple, tamed and glossy.' I completely agree with this. My hair has been unmanageable for ages, with constant dying, heated tools and teasing so I've had problems with dry/split ends. But after using this product, it was a lot easier to comb. 
Also the scent is gorgeous. It is made from avocado oil and grape seed oil. It smells really fresh.
This is something I would definitely buy. 

I was not paid for this review. I bought the glossybox and honestly believe this product is amazing. 
sorry for the webcam pictures, I'm having problems with my PC and camera atm.
