Garnier Pure Active MICELLAR Cleansing Water 400ML - Hype Or Truth

Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water
During a shopping trip, i received an email from superdrug saying they had some exclusive offers on some products that was to buy one, get another product free.
I thought it would be worth a look to see which products are on offer and was surprised to find there was quite a few that usually are more on the high price range were included in this offer.
I decided to pick up my usual Garnier intensive exfobrusher ( a review on that product will be soon ).
So then i picked up the Garnier Pure Active MICELLAR Cleansing Water. Having heard all the hype about the micellar water and seen the adverts i thought, well its free with the offer so why not give it a try.
I do own a different micellar water from a different brand and that worked brill for me, but i review products on there own merits rather then setting a competition between them all.
With this micellar water, Garnier has surprised me as the bottle is quite bulky and you get 400ml which states you get 200 uses.
For me that was one of the appeals as you feel like your getting your moneys worth.
There was many in there range that stated for sensitive, normal. combination skin.
On this bottle it states combination to oily and sensitive skin which kind of ticked every box for me.
Its also can be used for lips and around eyes and no perfume or parbens is in this, so thats good for the sensitive skin types.
The look of this water is a pale blue colour and has a pop up lid that also snaps shut which stops leakage.

The Label On The Back Reads:

Is pure active micellar cleansing water right for me?....
Yes, if your skin is combination to oily and sensitive, and if you are looking for an efficient and easy to use product that removes
make-up, cleanses and purifies gently in 1 step.

Why Is It Different?.....

Micellar cleansing water is an easy way to remove make-up
cleanse and purify the skin, eye area and lips in 1 step without rinsing.

How Does It Work?.....

For the first time Garnier micellar technology is formulated specifically for combination to oil and sensitive skin.
*Like a magnet, the cleansing agents capture and lift away dirt, make-up and excess sebum from the skin.
*Enriched with purifying agents, it helps fight the appearance of impurities. The skin feels refreshed with no need to rub to cleanse
and remove make-up.

How Do I Use it?.....
Apply the product to a cotton pad and wipe the face, eyes and lips 
No rinsing required.
Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water
What i like about Garnier is that they tell you some informative information so you know your not putting tons of chemicals on your skin. Also there products are dermatologically tested.

So after a hectic day, i reached for this big bottle and the Cotton pads and was amazed at how refreshing it felt to swipe this over my skin. It was taking away all the daily stresses of that day and helping my skin breathe! 
My skin felt refreshed and clean without it feeling like some sort of paint stripper had been used and all the moisture has gone. 
This has the perfect balance of taking away the bad but leaving the good!
So the hype is true about this, if your looking for a micellar water then i highly recommend this one!
This retails as £4.99 at superdrug but for the size you get it doesn't leave you with a guilty conscience over spending money! 
I'm sure if you have a look around, this will be on offer somewhere or be part of a deal.
Until the next review ..... take care X NEAL X

Fish Mens Hair Products Style With Ease















I was sent the Fish products to review and see what i thought of them. 
Fish have many products that will suit everyone's hair type and as they state on there website...........
Fish is a leading men's hairstyling range, including hair wax and men's hair gel.  All products are developed with the Fish salon in Soho, London.
They also have a styling page with helpful tips if you need some help.
Here's my thoughts ......



MATT TEXTURISING CLAY
STONE FISH

After receiving the Fish Classic long hair pack, i eagerly opened the box to see what products i had received.
The products are well branded with there logo on the lids and sides of the products.
There is clear descriptions on the back of what the product will do and also what u can achieve 
by them outlining there three points
1. The Style
2. The Finish
3. The Bonus.
With this particular product there is clear description of how to use on the peel label.
Rub a small amount of clay between palms, then work through dry or towel dried hair to create a roughed up style.
This is helpful so u know what to do rather than open the pot and hope for the best.
You also do receive a hair salon card to help you figure out which products are suitable for your length of hair.
The pot is blue and 70ml with a screw off and on lid.
You can for sure smell this product when opening the lid and when u also rub through hands to work into hair. It is quite a pleasant smell and not too over powering. Reminds me of a coconut smell. This product holds any style lasts through out the day. 
Easy to wash out and doesn't leave hair feeling tangled or damaged.
Overall this is a great product to use and would recommend.

Work a pea sized amount between palms and apply to dry or towel dried hair from root to tip then style.

The tube of this is dark blue and is 150 ml.
You can for sure smell this product when opening the lid and when u also rub through hands to work into hair. It is quite a pleasant smell and not too over powering. Reminds me of a fresh clean scent. This product claims it has memo-elastic technology with bounce back effect. 
So i put it to the test by wearing a hat and also if my hair would still be the same style after it had poured down with rain..... the truth .... it did! this does actually work! 
Easy to wash out and doesn't leave hair feeling tangled or damaged.
Overall this is a great product for any styling addict that wants to keep there style all day !

Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Perfector Oil Smells Great! Works Great!

           
Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Perfector Oil
I came across this when there was a sale in asda and all the garnier ultimate blends range were reduced.
Having used the sleek perfector shampoo and conditioner and saw how good they worked on my blonde head of hair. I was eager to get my hands on the oil!
Now being a fan of hair oils ( I have tried many ). To not so good ones and some that left me thinking why haven't i used this before.
I do wonder is this going to work or am i going to be left with a head of hair that is in a worst state than before.
I look for a product that will check every box, so i don't have to use five different products to gain the look i want.
On the front of this bottle it does say multi-use which is a winner right from the start! 
Also states lightweight, which is good being i have fine hair i don't want it to be weighed down with half a ton of grease or stuck to my head that there is no movement.


Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Perfector Oil
I looked on the back and there is a clear label that states what purposes it achieves! I do like products like this as on some products they write in small text that u need a magnifier glass just to read it! 

It states :
*Before Washing : It pre-nourishes for added suppleness.
*Before Styling :    It helps to protect against damage from up to       230"C heat.
*After Styling : It tames frizz and flyaways for the perfect sleek         look.  
*Between washes : A perfecting finishing touch with a shine boost.
*Anytime : It leaves hair smelling divine. 
Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Perfector Oil
Now i have used. before washing and it does work as i feel even with using the most clarifying shampoo the hair is not stripped from all its oils. 
I have used this as a heat protectant on its own just to see if it can be used that way and my hair was left smooth and nourished.
To tame any flyaways i use a tiny amount on the roots and it doesn't weigh them down, 
If you love coconut then u will love this as the smell from this is quite strong! i have even smelt it in my hair the next day!
This is a pump bottle and its plastic which is an advantage in case you drop it and also u can see how much product is left in the bottle. I have also found there is no leakage from this bottle if knocked over or you decide to put it into your bag.
The oil itself is clear.
Two to three pumps in the palm of my hands and then it is well absorbed into the hair and no residue is left on you hands.
I started to use this after my blonde dye job and my hair has never felt better!
Overall i would rate this ten out of ten! 
Until the next review

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Face SPF 30 50ml

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Face SPF 30 50ml
Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Face SPF 30 50ml
With the sunny weather recently i was looking for a sun block for the face.
Sun protection being important and there's loads of products for the body but there wasn't really many that you could use for your face.
I spotted this and quickly picked it up to see if this was suitable.
They actually do this little bottle in SPF 15 OR SPF 30. So i chose the SPF 30.

On the front of the bottle it says 12 H Moisturisation. Hydration.
Oil Free/Non Greasy.
Sounds good to me being if you suffer with acne or have oily skin you don't want to aggravate it more by piling on more oil that's going to clog pores and break you out,



Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Face SPF 30 50ml

On the back it states
Very water resistant . Dermatologist tested. Light weight feel. Suitable for use under make up.
Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Face SPF 30 50ml
The bottle is a pump and was priced around 3.00 pounds which isn't bad for a 50 ml.
The cream looks like strawberry ice cream when looking at it in the little bottle and this does have a slight fragrance to it like a coconut light smell.
This is a thick cream but absorbs well into the face and doesn't feel sticky and remains matte looking all day. It hasn't broke me out or upset my skin in any way .
Don't be put off by the small size of this, a little does go a long way.
Overall this is a GREAT little sun protector for the face. 
This is recommended by the skin care foundation international and also recommended as an effective UVA and UVB  sunscreen.
I will for sure be repurchasing this little gem!
