TRESemme RENEWAL Hair & Scalp Repair : Product Review


TRESemme have always been one of my favourite hair care brands, and for the past couple of weeks changing into autumn, my scalp had been itchy and flaky. I usually suffer from a bad scalp once the seasons change colder, So seeing TRESemme brought out the Renewal Scalp Repair range, i was thrilled and wanted to give it a try.

I've been using the range for a couple of weeks now, including the £5.50 tonic.  I'm not normally fused about using extra products on my hair apart from shampoo and conditioner, but boots had a 3 for 2 offer on all hair care, so i thought i'd adventure and try something different. You apply the tonic after the shower on damp hair and massage it in. It gives your scalp a cooling effect and you can actually feel it working. It has Tea Tree and Sunflower Seed oil, leaving your hair feeling even softer and helping your scalp get back to a healthy looking condition. I've been the product after every shower and in quite big quantities all over my scalp, but i'm finding the bottle is still almost full. So for a price of £5.50, you definitely get your moneys worth and for somebody who doesn't usually buy extra hair care products, i'm converted.

The shampoo and condition coming in at a price of £4.99,  didn't let me down. Both products make you feel like you'v just come back from the hair dressers. They smell great! Leaving your hair feeling clean and looking in good healthy condition. The conditioner does it job, making my hair feel nice and soft with no extra knots after the shower. I also found, my hair didn't look or get greasy as fast as it usually does.

So, do they really help the scalp? The itchyness, the flasks? Well, i'm going to say a big fat YES. I especially, get a really bad conditioned scalp right at the front of my hair line, and magically, there's no signs of flasks or a bad looking scalp. I'm not completely cured, i see the odd flake now and again, but this set definitely keeps your scalp and flakes at bay.

Body Shop : Body Mist / Eau de toilette Review



                     
The Body Shop is one of my favourite shops to buy fruity fragranced products. So when i was browsing a few weeks ago, i thought i'd try out there body mists. Unfortunately, they didn't have the strawberry mist in stock, so i opted for the Eau de toilette instead, and also brought the Vinyard peach body mist.

The Strawberry Eau De Toilette came at a price of £8.50 for a little 30ml bottle. At the time, they had a 3 for 2 offer in store, otherwise i don't think i would have paid the price for such a little bottle. The scent is how it describes, it actually smells of strawberries! It is VERY sweet... girly, perfect for a teenage girl starting out with wearing make-up and not wanting to wear heavy based perfumes. I found i did need to re-apply the perfume through-out the day, but this was no surprise as it is a very light and fresh fragrance. The bottle is really cute and small enough to keep in your bag, but i don't think i would buy this fragrance again. Although i love all the other strawberry products, the scent for me isn't strong enough, i like my perfumes to get noticed. - For good reasons obviously.

You can purchase the fragrance here : Strawberry Body Fragrance

The next scent i brought was the Vinyard Peach body mist. Which.. i absolutely LOVE. I brought the 100ml bottle for £7.50. Much bigger than the 30ml bottle of perfume's they offer, and at an reasonable price considering the size. Again, the scent isn't heavy or overpowering, but there is just something about the smell that makes me feel great. I don't find it to be too sweet either, making it more for an early 20's to 30's age range. Like the perfume, it does need to be re-applied through-out the day as i find the scene doesn't last very long. The only bad point i am finding frustrating is the bottles cap. I've been keeping the Body Mist in my bag and keep finding the cap has fallen off and lost within the mess that is lurking in the bottom of my bag. Although this isn't a big deal, i don't know the likeliness of the product leaking in my bag.

For some reason.. can't find the Vinyard Mist on the site anymore. If anybody knows why, let me know!

                         I hope you enjoyed reading my review.

Dragon's Egg : LUSH REVIEW

My first EVER REVIEW! So here we go..

I've recently come across a brand called , 'Lush', which offer a wide range of handmade cosmetics. I read different reviews from the website stating how delicious the products smelt and how well they worked, so i wanted to see what all the fuss was about for myself


                                                       
                                                                        Dragons Egg £3.25

                                                             https://www.lush.co.uk/products/dragons-egg

The Dragons Egg is a bath bomb with a price of £3.25. Which i suppose is abit steep for one bath bomb, but i must admit, i'd pay that price again. Not only was it an exciting experience to watch the bath bomb work its magic as soon as it hit the water, but it smelt absolutely lush! - see what i did there.

The Dragons Egg is a good size, takes a couple of minutes for it dissolve completely, fizzing up as soon as it hits the water, almost like over shook coca cola. The effects of the bomb turns your water orange, and made my bathroom smell of lemons! yes.. lemons. It was a complete surprise, as i hadn't read the full description of what this bath bomb included, so i was very excited

The downside to this product which i didn't like was the glitter. I'm not a fan of glitter anyway, so the idea of having it stained to my body was an nightmare. Luckily, it wasnt too noticeable and had worn off by the next day. I suppose it did add that little bit extra, but something i feel that alot of people wouldn't miss if the glitter wasn't included.

                                                     I hope you like my first review.
