New Hair Care Products

I have recently updated my hair care routine. 

I have changed my shampoo and conditioner from the Tony and Guy shampoo and conditioner for Dry hair 
to The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner as I wanted to use a more natural products on my hair. As the shampoo and conditioner from The Body Shop as No Silicones, No Sulphates, No Parabens and No Colourants.
I have also stopped buying hair masks from the drug store and instead I went to Holland and Barrett recently and brought Extra Virgin Coconut Oil which I am now using as a hair mask. I'm loving the coconut oil so much, I brought the bigger pot they do and I have used it every week and I have hardly used it. Plus I have researched into coconut oil a lot, so I can really say it makes your hair feel so nice. I find if I put the coconut oil on in the evening then wash it out on the next morning during my shower, you get the best results from the oil as it is absorbed into the hair follicle all night while you sleep.

Review of Demalogica Travel Sets

When I was training to be a Beauty Therapist we used Dermalogica products when doing facials. I know the products always get mixed reviews but I think its because people don't know that there products contain ingredients that make the impurities in the skin to come out which yes it is annoying but when i was training we did facials once a week and i found my skin to get a lot better and of course it get me a lot information about how to look after my skin and the best skin care. 

Here i have two different travel sets as you all know with the seasons it effects your skin differently so for me:
Winter and Spring I have very dry skin but come Summer and Autumn I get Combo/Oily skin. In these travel kits you get a Cleanser, Toner, Moisturiser, Scrub, A Lip Balm, and a sample of a Mask.

I found the cleanser in the Oily/Combo set had a horrible smell to it and of I didn't enjoy or look forward to using it. The cleanser was Dermal Clay and is a Green/Grey colour. The moisturiser was the Action Moist which is a oil-free lotion and felt nice on the skin.

The Cleanser in the Normal/Dry was a nice gel with no real strong smell as it is a Sensitive cleanser called Special Cleansing Gel and the moisturiser was the nicest products with a lovely smell to it and felt great on the skin. Also I found you don't need to use a lot of it as if you do it will make your skin feel oily as it is a thick moisturiser. The moisturiser is called  Skin Smoothing Cream.

The toner in both sets was their Multi-Active Toner which is good for all skin types.

I would recommend one of Demalogica's products to everyone and that is one of their Moisturisers called Barrier Repair which has a amazing silky feel to which and helps to protect your skin to the weather and it just feels incredible on the skin with the smallest amount on. This was the one products i always used in my facials when training and will always buy!

Review on The Body Shop All-in-One Base Foundation

Review

This foundation was my life saver through school and college. There was just nothing I didn't like about it, it gave me perfect coverage, felt so little on my skin and where I am lily white it gave me a bit of colour without making me look orange!! (Big PLUS for me :D) I first tried this after going to the body shop when I was 14 for one of their free makeover, which took about 30 minutes and when she had finished. The woman gave me a small form telling me all the products she used for my make-up and the make-up brushes she used which are all available to buy. The whole experience of getting my make-up done was lovely, the staff are always so nice and cheerful and she made me feel so comfortable.

Over the last few months The Body Shop has changed the numbering of their All in One Base Foundations, as before I was a 03 which for me is now 035. But also my colour seems to have changed a bit as well as when I have applied this I can see a hint of pink tones. This prices at £14 but if like me you have a Body Shop card you get 10% off plus they are always great deals and offers. 

Although this foundation is more expensive than drugstore foundation personally I think it's a great investment as you only need this for a great base instead of buying a foundation then a setting power. Also i love the fact The Body Shop is against animal testing which is another great plus if you have people in your family who are vegetarians or vegans, as you know it's okay for them to use as its not against their believes or values if you decide to get this for friends or family.

Have you tried this?? Tell me what you think?
