Body Shop's Grapeseed Glossing Serum Review - This stuff is the shizzle!

Grapeseed Glossing Serum by The Body Shop 

Winter's here...and those frizzy hair days are back! My waves start too look rough, dry and basically lack lustre and shine! 

I've been through bottles of Kerastase Elixir  (which was in fact pretty good), Aussie's Curl Definition Serum (hair felt greasy), John Friedas range for Frizzy hair (hmm okay), Macadamia range (good, but feels like its coating hair)....and then I wanted to try something different. I was intending to get another bottle of the Kerastase Elixir although I felt abit relectant to pay £30 for it. Don't get me wrong it's a great investment, but when you on a budget it's abit tough departing on £30 on a hair product! Anyways, whilst browsing online for hair serums, I stumbled upon on Body Shop's Grapeseed Glossing Serum. It had really brilliant reviews, and I thought it's worth a try specially if your on a budget.






I'm not the biggest fan of Body Shop; their products are not completely natural so I tend to just buy a few things from them, I find a few of their products are abit hit and miss, however due to the amazing reviews on this I thought it must be worth a try. 

How it looks/feels:
When you hear 'Glossing Serum', you just think shiny hair, but this stuff makes your hair feel soft and manageble too. Along with shiny hair, my hair just feels smooth and healthy looking. I can't stop touching my hair during the day as it just feels so soft, usually in cold weather it looks dry and wiry but with this it looks soft and fluffy.

Packaging
The bottle is small, but you can squeeze as little or as much as you want which is really good. Due to its small size it's perfect to put in your handbag or for travelling.

Method:
Once my hair is washed and towel dried I use about two small pumps and work it through the end of my hair first and whatever's left on my hands I smooth through from the top to mid -length of my hair. This helps to smooth and soften my hair whilst it's drying. Once my hair is dried and styled how I want it, I work through about one to two pumps through mid-length to ends. This gives a lovely shine in my hair, and enhances my hair style and cut. 


My Final Thought:
This really has made a difference to my hair, it looks smoother and healthy. I would defintely buy this product again. It's a product that subtly makes a big difference to my hair. My hair is thick and wavy and this glossing serum does  not way it down it, or make it appear greasy or feel like I have residue on my hair, it just sinks in. A little goes along way, the bottle may appear small but you really don't need to pump loads of this stuff to make a difference. It has a really light fresh smell to it aswell, nothing overbearing or sweet. 

This stuff makes your hair that one bit better so it's def worth a try!

It's Pure Organics Herbal Hair Colour Dark Brown | Review

Natural Hair Dye by It's Pure Organics in Dark Brown Review All I can say is wish I knew about this dye sooner!    My hair history this past year...I've gone through pregnancy hair loss and dryness, not to mention having a no dye period when I was pregnant. This is why I went crazy with the dyes once my LO was born! I ombre'd my hair which meant my ends were bleached twice, coloured and used toners many times to keep ends dark blonde and ashy. Then semi colours on the roots/mid length to keep my hair and a few greys dark and glossy. So all this basically meant my hairs been in a really dry, brittle and frizzy state. It's ruined my natural waves all because of wanted an ombre. Something I'll never do again as its hard maintain when you naturally have dark hair that has a tendency to go orange tinged. I've had regular trims which have helped but after a while hair starts too look rough, lacking lustre and no shine. I think this is partially due to a bad...

Naturtint Permanent Hair Dye in 6N Dark Blonde and 7N Hazelnut Blonde| Review

Image
So over the past year I have tried a few different hair dyes, toners mainly from drugstores like Boots or Superdrugs and I always seem to come back to the Naturtint range. I find the coverage and the shade very much close to whats on the box, my hair NEVER ends up going jet black which it has done from other dye brands. I especially like the 'Natural/Neutral' range in Naturtint, its not too warm or too cool, just a very natural mid brown toned shade and I love it. I usually swap between 5N and 6N depending if i wanted to go abit darker or lighter. Over the summer I decided to mix 6N and 7N to see if I could go abit more lighter so I mixed both shades together. I have asian dark brown practically looking black hair and when I use the shade 5N I get a nice medium to dark brown shade to my hair.  When I want to get a more light medium brown shade thats more prominant and noticable then I usually go for 6N which I'd say is the perfect...

EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation & EX1 Delete Concealer Review and Swatches

Image
EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation This brand is fairly new and was founded by Farah Naz. Like many asians its hard to find foundations that match your skin tone perfectly. Some are too pink toned, high street brand only go upto a certain shade which doesn't cater for asian complexions or you find a shade but the brand is too expensive! Farah Naz has brought out a range specifically for olive skin tones. When she says olive, it means its suitable for Middle Eastern, Asian, South American or Mediterranean skintones. Shade: I came across EX1 Costmetics on twitter, Faryal Makhdoom posted a picture of some of the products and it intrigued me to visit their website. I read somewhere that they now have the brand in Topshop in Oxford Street so I went and purchased the shade F300. I did swatch the F200 in store but I think thats more of an NC 25-30 shade. F300 is perfect for NC35-40 skintone which is me. NC40 or NC42 onwards is probably the F400. F400 is a medium-tan colour.  ...
