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!

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!

Garnier Moisture + Restore Night Care Recovery Gel Cream 50ml Review

Garnier Moisture + Restore Night Care Recovery Gel Cream

I spotted this, being that i have been using Garnier products quite a lot recently (see my other review) that this was a new product i hadn't spotted before.
When i picked this off the shelf i saw on one side that it said BEAUTY SLEEP on the side of the box, We all need some beauty sleep now and then.
What grabbed my attention was the word RECOVERY. Our skin goes through life's stresses now and then so this spoke volumes to me!

I quickly looked at the back of the box, as this is what i like about Garnier's products, they tell you exactly what its going to do and if it is suited for you.
Not like when you buy a product and there's nothing on the packaging to tell you if its suited for you, so u approach the till to pay. Saying a little prayer you wont be out of pocket with a product that's not going to work for you.

The back details.....

IS MOISTURE + RESTORE THE NIGHT CARE MY SKIN NEEDS.... yes, if you are looking for a night care that intensively restores skin with moisture and helps stimulate surface skin renewal , for a fresh-looking complexion that is plumped with moisture on the first wake up.

WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?..... moisture restore is a new night moisturiser by garnier that helps support your skin's natural repair cycle at night and gives more radiant beautiful-looking skin throughout the day.

HOW DOES IT WORK?..... INTENSE HYDRATION our HYDRA+COMPLEX, a powerful blend of hydrating active ingredients acts on the epidermis to help recover your skins natural water reserves. Our replenishing gel-cream helps lock in hydration needed to feel ready to face the day. In the morning, your skin feels velvety soft and comfortable. INTENSE RENEWAL.... The revival flower grows in the extreme climate of the Balkan mountains and can withstand 31 months without water. With only a few drops of rain it quickly regenerates, regaining its original beauty. Enriched with an extract of flower, our replenishing gel-cream helps skins natural renewal by helping to stimulate skin cell renewal. night after night, skin quality looks visibly improved. Applied in the evening all over the face, our melting gel-cream lets your skin breathe at night . Also suitable for sensitive skin.

When i took the lid off a pleasant fruity flower fragrance greeted me which smelt good enough to eat! Don't eat it though! :)
Also the gel-cream is is a pale blue colour which makes a change from the just white moisturisers.
I was surprised as this feels so soft and also when applied to the face does glide on. Doesn't feel sticky at all and absorbs into the skin well.
It felt so refreshing to the skin and didn't feel heavy, allowing my skin to definitely breathe!
Best of all, the next morning my skin did look refreshed and renewed!
I had no reaction to this and this hasn't broke me out!

This retails for £3.99 and for 50ml that is quite good value as your not breaking the bank.
So if your looking for a night time moisturiser to show your skin some love then this little beauty wont disappoint until the next review , take care x

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
