PHB Balancing Shampoo & Conditioner - Lavender and Mint Review

Slowly moving away from chemical based products but I've been trying a few natural shampoo and conditioners for dry, coloured and wavy hair and they have been too thick with moisturising ingredients that have weighed down my hair. 

I came across this brand when I purchased their foundation, and saw that they do a haircare range too. I decided to pick the balancing range as its suitable for everyday use (not that I wash my hair daily!) and that its also anti dandruff. I don't get dandruff but in the winter months my head feels extra dry and itchy sometimes so I felt this would be gentle enough to use and is also fine to use on coloured hair. 

With all natural shampoos you are lucky to get a decent lather first time round, with natural shampoos though I do like to wash my hair twice with it and in the second shampoo you get a good lather. This stuff smells so amazing, refreshing and invigorating you feel like you are getting a really good deep clean without stripping the hair. It has a herb-ally but refreshing minty rosemary smell to it.  I find that this shampoo does a good clean but is soft and gentle on the hair. As my hair is very dry from having a bleached ombre done, I really need to use alot of conditioner to bring the moisture back into my hair. The conditioner is smoothing and does not weigh down the hair it works well with the shampoo. 

I think this is a good shampoo range for those with fine hair, its very invigorating and can tell my scalp feels alot calmer and less irritated.  As I have very dry hair at the moment, I think I could easily go through the conditioner alot quicker, which means I wish there was more product or larger bottles in this range!

My hair feels soft and shiny with this range, I managed to get the set of shampoo and conditioner for around £16 but on full price its around £22 altogether I think. 

Would I buy this again?
Well I wouldn't mind trying their other ranges..I love trying different products but I would probably come back to this again if I felt my scalp and hair needed a good wash and to get rid of build up. It's clarifiying but at the same time I feel as though my hair is getting greasy quicker with this range. I do feel that those with normal hair would benefit from this, but the shampoo is quite drying for my 'damaged in need of nourishment hair', so probably not the best range to use for my hair type at the moment.


My Final Thought
Not the most expensive range of haircare but it does cost quite abit if you have very thick hair and go through alot of it its likely to finish much quicker! Love the practical pump on both of them, no waste no leakages. It smells refreshing, I just love the smell of fresh clean hair!  Worth a try if your looking for natural alternatives from a good reputable, cruelty free and natural brand. Not sure if I would get this again. I prefer 300ml to 400ml bottles of natural shampoos and conditioners as I have thick hair and a few pumps doesn't go very far on my hair.

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

Loreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick in 640 Erotique | Review & swatch

Image
Love this range of Matte lipsticks from Loreal. I picked up two other shades but this is currently my favourite go to nude shade at the moment. It's the perfect medium deep warm pinkish slightly brown toned shade that looks so flattering on medium/tanned skin. I think its such a nice warm nude it would probably suit all complexions to be honest, it wouldn't wash you out.  My Final Thought The lipsticks are so pigmented and smooth and the lasting power is really good. I love the packaging and the crocodile print texture on it just makes it look so classy. Boots and Superdrugs in the UK have the 3 for 2 offer so often its worth picking up 3 shades, they are priced so reasonably and totally worth the colour pay off and quality. They feel so soft and creamy on the lips and they have a great shade range which I think would cater for all skintones, so one drugstore brand that will get a thumbs up for me! 640 Erotique lipstick swatch

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation Review

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Foundation in Golden Glow I was really getting into Mineral makeup (and still am!) and I've tried a few different brands so I thought I'd review them as I go along.  I was looking around for mineral foundations that would suit my asian skintone, and I came across Jane Iredale on the internet, and realised there was a salon just next to my workplace that had their products. I bought the Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder in the shade 'GOLDEN GLOW'. It comes in quite a heavy sturdy gold coloured metal case, which is really good and this can be refilled with just the pressed powders, so love that idea, great investment. I have eastern asian nc35-40 skintone and anything that has the word 'golden' in it gets me interested! Hence, this shade was right up my street. I tried using this product in different methods. One way is that I tried using it just as a mineral foundation on it's own. I used it with a lot of layers and real
