Loreal Hair Expertise EverRiche Mask Pot

If you read my tweets then you will know that recently I attempted to Ombre my hair at home.  This wasnt a good idea of mine and the bad thing is I knew what would happen but I did it anyway. I only have myself to blame! (My hair went ginger btw but I have managed to tone it down now) I dont think I will ever learn.

Anyway after I did the Ombre, it left my hair really dry, I have never have had my hair this dry before where it just tangles even after you piled the conditioner on! So I thought I needed to get something to help try and repair my hair back to its softness!

I bought the Loreal Ever Riche Mask Pot as I love their Triple Resit Shampoo, its my favourite! So I thought this would hopefully be good too.

This conditioner smells AH-MAZING, it contains Botanical Oils, Camelina and Apricot Seed. Its for dry to very dry hair and leaves the hair feeling nourished and helps to protect against dryness.

From the first application my hair was noticeably softer which impressed me and I am hard to impress lol! With each time its used I can definitely feel that my hair is a lot softer and it does not feel damaged at all now, which is great! :) I think its a good size too and the price is £6.99.

Again I need to rave about how good it smells lol, very relaxing!

I am really glad I went with the Loreal Hair Expertise EverRiche Mask Pot, Loreal's Hair shampoo and conditioners never disappoint me and I recommend this for anyone with dry hair especially from bleaching as it works wonders!

Gorgeous by Gok

Its coming up to Chistmas!!! :) my favourite time of the year even if its when all my friends and familys birthdays are! I thought I would do a quick post on on of my favourite things I look forward to at Christmas which is the Gok range at Boots.

I absolutely love his range and every year I will receive something from his collection for Christmas from the parents :).

Last year I got the Gorgeous Gok shower scrub in the wash bag set, I really wanted that particular set because of the bag, it comes in very handy and is a great size for when I am away.

Gok does change some of his products each year and this was a new one in the set. 

I love this shower scrub! It smells really lovely with the Almond Oil and it just feels really great and leaves the skin feeling smooth and smelling Gorgeous! I find that Goks products never fail to smell amazing though! The first thing I look at on the Boots website at Christmas is the Goks range and I already have my eyes on a few items ;) .

Its just a shame that you cant buy these all year round.

Anyone got their eyes on any Christmas Gift sets?

Lush Angel on Bare Skin

I have never really had a skin regime until a few months ago...I know thats really bad but my skin use to be pretty good lol! This had to change though, as I was wearing make up more frequently and so my skin started to change. So off I went and bought lots of new products and the Lush Angel on Bare Skin being one of them.

Angels on Bare Skin is a fresh cleanser and at the moment is currently out of stock on the Lush website :(  As Lush puts it 'As gentle and beautiful as being kissed by angels'. It is based on an old age formula and reduces redness in the skin and evens out the appearance and tone.

.  

Angels on Bare skin contains the following ingredients which are all natural: 

Ground Almonds, Glycerine, Kaolin, Water,Lavender Oil, Rose Absolute, Chamomile Blue Oil,Tagetes Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Lavender Flowers,Limonene, Linalool.

I cant decide if I like the product or not...I think I do but let met explain why I am a bit unsure. I love the smell but it is a strong lavender scent so if you don't like the smell of Lavender then I wouldn't recommend buying this. At first I wasn't too keen on the smell but now I oddly really like it.  I also love like I mentioned before, that the products are not tested on animals and that this is also made in England!

There is directions on how to use this and let me say one thing, its messy! But you do kind of get the knack of it after a while. To apply you need to take a pea sized amount (I tend to take a bit more because I drop half of it) and then you add some water until its a paste or milk texture and then rub over your face, massage in and rinse. This is very crumbly which is why it can get messy!

Now I am unsure on this because I cant say I have noticed any difference in my appearance. I cant say that it has reduced redness or evened out my skin tone. I do find my face becomes quite red when I have used this which I find a bit odd and I haven't noticed an improvement to my complexion.  I also found using my 'new' skin regime actually made my skin really bad so I stopped using all the products and now use the odd few and thankfully it has approved. Maybe it was more to do with that.

I dont know if I will purchase this again but I think I will continue to use this to see if I can make up my mind. I really do love most Lush products I have tried. Here is my review on the Lip scrub I did Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub .

Has anyone else tried this?

Max Factor Whipped Creme Foundation

When I first heard about this, I thought it was going to be like Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse which is something I don't like because it dries my skin out and its just thick and horrible and is just not a good product at all in my book.

My skin is a bit all over the place at the moment not knowing what it wants to do and my eczema on my chin! Frustration alert. Anyway I have used Max Factor foundations before, I really love their miracle touch but their Ageless Elixir not so much.

This is £7.99 from Boots and is fragrance free which is great for sensitive skin and the whipped texture is hydrating and won't clog pores!

swatched

blended

When I first did a tester on myself the product felt quite thick and I thought it was going to end up applying this way too. It actually doesn't do that and it blends really well and gives a nice medium coverage. A little really does go a long way with this and it gives a nice finish.

 This does remind me of their miracle touch foundation but in a whipped creme form. I have this in the lightest shade which is 040 Light Ivory. I find Max Factor's light foundations shades do fit my skin really well which usually I always find hard with the drugstore brands to find a decent match, only Max Factor and Revlon have been good for me.

This foundation also lasts really well especially if you powder it for extra staying power.  This does not dry out my skin and it doesn't break me out either as I find with Revlon their foundation breaks me out, which is annoying because I love that foundation so much lol.  I have applied this with the Real Techniques expert face brush and their miracle complexion sponge which you can find a review here Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and both apply really well. 

Overall I am really loving this foundation at the moment and have been wearing it all the time.  This has to be one of my favourite drugstore foundations.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I absolutely love the Real Techniques range and this miracle complexion sponge does not disappoint and is only £5.99!

It states that it gives a pixel perfect base that you have always dreamed of. It has multi use as it has rounded sides, a precision tip and flat edge. These can be used for stippling, covering blemishes and contours around the eye area.

Usually I use the Real Techniques expert face brush to apply my foundation or I would use my fingers but I find the problem with using my hands is that it breaks me out :(. I have never really liked using sponges before as I think they just absorb all the product but with this I don't feel like it does.

It applies foundation really well and does give a great finish. I have used this to apply my favourite foundation at the moment by Max Factor (post coming soon!) and the sponge is also really easy to clean. It feels amazing too when smoothing over the face and I just can rave about this enough lol!
