john frieda full repair spray

John Frieda full repair heat activated style spray is what i came across when the sale shelf was approaching me.
I was interested in this product as being a blonde and using heat styling tools anything saying full repair would speak volumes to me. 
Who would want to turn down a claim if u could put some goodness back into your locks. Right?
So as i was reading the box it claims on the front.... REVERSES damage with every use, Sounds like a winner already! 
The detail on the back states REVERSES the look and feel of damage with every use, sounds even Better!
As i read more they state;
Our breakthrough styling spray, with lightweight lnca lnchi oil adds manageability, body and flexible hold to any style. Works with heat tools to create shiny, versatile styles that lasts all day.
Protects against breakage from high-heat damage.
You can use on wet or towel dried hair.


One of the main points for me is you can use this on colour treated hair and chemically treated hair
which is a bonus as some of us do like the dye bottle more than others.....me!
When spraying into hair i would apply just enough to cover all your hair and comb through making sure u coat every hair strand.
This does have a nice smell to it bearing in mind there is oil in it, but for me it wasn't too over powering. Unlike some products that leave your hair smelling like you have been dunked head first in some sort of outdated perfume. It also made my hair feel smoother and shinier , 
Plus this works with heat tools so you know your not frying your hair to the maximum.
The bottle does last quite a reasonable time so for me it is good value for money! 
So if your looking for a product to help protect and nourish, whilst giving your locks some loving this is an ideal product to use!

garnier ultra lift 2 in 1 serum and cream review

welcome to my first blog post and many more to come .

Being an experimental beauty junkie i keep my eye out for special deals that catch my eye and make me want to go to that shelf that seems to be shrouded in the golden light with the word sale plastered all over it.
This made me look at the garnier's products that were on sale that week at a well known UK beauty store.
First up was the Ultra Lift serum + cream. 2 in 1 Anti Ageing Skin Care
I was quite impressed as this combined the two things the media and beauty magazines say that should be in our skin care regime .
It even states on the box YOU NO LONGER NEED TO LAYER A CREAM AFTER A SERUM .
you only need one application of this,
People who are leading busy lives and are pushed for time in the morning or any time of the day this gives the impression it is a time saver!
This was added to my basked without any hesitation,
I'm usually quite sceptical about products that claim things as i suffer with sensitive skin and any change in my skin care usually breaks me out, but u have to try new things to know whether there going to suit you or not.
The next day i opened the box and found an attractive tube with spirals of the cream inside,
I popped the lid off and pressed down and was amazed at how well u could actually control how much comes out. Don't you love some cosmetics that when u press down too hard or squeeze a tube that your left with so much of the product u didn't want that it turns into a wasted mess!
With this u don't and the product is quite creamy but light.
The smell was quite delicate and not over powering at all.
It glided on over my skin and felt quite soft and moisturising, I use either one pump or two to cover my whole face but some people might want to use more.
I have read reviews about this balling up when some people have used it but this hasn't happened to me. One suggestion i would add if it does, is to use a buffing brush after application so the product is worked all around your face and into your skin.
One major factor for me was..... it didn't break my out !!! and i actually haven't had a breakout since using this!
I'm onto my second purchase of this little beauty and I'm glad it caught my attention when it was on sale! This is definitely a worth while purchase and it doesn't break the bank!


Until next time .... Take Care x
