L'Oreal Hair Expertise EverPure Intense Mask

 

Having naturally curly / frizzy hair a decent hair mask is an essential in my hair care routine and this one is amazing!

I suffer from psoriasis on my scalp and neck which is irritated by the ingredients in most shampoos and conditioners. I now stick to sulphate free products and have been using the Naked range for several months, although I am happy with this range I do find that the shampoo's dry my hair (I have used several of their shampoo's and have always had the same results).

I wash and use heat on my hair everyday (I know, I know this is terrible for my hair, but I just can't get used to using dry shampoo...) so as you can imagine my hair is in desperate need of some TLC.

This hair mask is by far the best I have ever used, in the past I have had to make the choice between:
1 - A product that nourishes my hair but irritates my scalp and neck
2 - A product that doesn't cause irritation but also isn't fantastic for my hair.
This product does both, it makes my hair so soft and reduces the dryness but also doesn't cause any irritation.

The smell is lovely it is Rosemary & Mint, this combination is so fresh and doesn't have the artificial smell lots of cosmetics have (these also irritate my skin!)

I have bee using this twice a week, once during the week when I shower in the morning - I leave on for 5-10 minutes and also once during the weekend when I leave it on overnight.

This is currently available at Boots £6.99 for 200ml (LINK) - it is currently on offer for 2 L'Oreal Hair Expertise products for £9.

I have taken advantage of the offer and purchased the Shampoo and Conditioner in the same range, I can't wait to use them - I hope the results are as good as the hair mask.

Holy Grail Mascara!!

After searching far and wide for the perfect mascara I have finally found 2 that work for me.

Firstly I will tell you about my eyelash woes:
My eyelashes aren't terrible but they are really long, too long in fact and also not very thick. Which means they have a tendency to clump really easily and look spidery (I hope everyone knows what I mean by that)

I have brought numerous mascaras over the years only to use them a couple of times and then pass them on to friends because I know I will not use them again. I have finally found 2 that seem t work perfectly for me, they are ...... drumroll .....:

Avon Super Shock - Black £8.50 Link here, (packaging slightly different)
I had this as a birthday present back in February, it has sat in my makeup draw since then to be honest as I wasn't expecting much. I have never really used Avon makeup before but I will definitely be trying more if this is anything to go by.

It has the plastic bristle wand, which works much better for my lashes. It gives instant volume and colour, best off all it doesn't clump!

I tend to use this for everyday when I need to define my lashes but I am not looking for anything too dramatic.

Next up is:

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess £10.99 Link Here
This is currently on offer at Boots - 2 L'Oreal products for £14.

As with the Avon mascara this has a plastic wand, although this has a shaped wand which allows you to reach all of your lashes - even the inner corner.

This give fantastic volume with no clumps, the shape of the wand lends itself to a more dramatic looks I tend to keep this for weekends or evenings when I tend to wear slightly heavier eyeliner.

 

 

 

Have you got any Holy Grail makeup items to share??
