I am loving...

L'Oreal Professionnel Vitamino Color

Vitamino Color Shampoo:

Creamy-light shampoo that uses Incell Hydro-Resist double-locking technology. The protecting shampoo, specifically designed for coloured hair, prolongs colour radiance intensity with a lightweight film that repels water, helping to protect colour and enhance shine.

Vitamino Color Conditioner:

This colour-radiance protecting conditioner enriched with Incell Hydro-Resist double-locking technology seals the hair fibre to help keep colour in and water out. The more regularly you condition, the softer and radiant your coloured hair becomes.

Vitamino Color Masque:

This nourishing masque enriched with Incell Hydro-Resist double-locking technology targets weakened areas of the hair and wraps each hair with a lightweight film to protect against everyday wear and tear, which can zap colour radiance intensity. Hair is intensely nourished, and protected in just 60 seconds.

Don't you just love it when you find something that really works and that's worth every penny?!

This line of products have seriously changed my hair from dull, coarse and unmanageble to soft, shiny and healthy.

Not only does this hair care range take care of my coloured hair, but for some wonderful reason it also completely tames my thick and crazy lion's mane! Not many products that say that... :D

I have been using these 3 items religiously for the last couple of months, and although these products are on the pricey side (about £10 a bottle), I can't see myself switching to another hair care range for a LONG time.

I'm in love :)

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara update...

For pictures and instruction video on L'Oreals wesite, click here!

As some of you know I purchased the new L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes on Saturday.

It's been 3 days and I must say that this is a pretty decent mascara.

Granted, you don't get lashes exactly like Eva Longoria *see the above picture* (the commercial on tv does state that her lashes have been styled with lash inserts and millionized with Volume Million Lashes), but you get a really nice natural looking volume when you use this mascara.

Positives:

It comes with a medium sized plastic brush with loads of bristles on it, making it easy to coat every single of your lashes. It stays put throughout the day and definitely doesn't clump, which is its main selling point really, so I'm glad to report that that statement is true!


Negatives:
I don't think that this mascara will give you 'va va voom' lashes, so I'd pass on this if you are after really long, dramatic lashes... This is not Diorshow, if you know what I mean ;)

Price:

This mascara retails for £10.99, but at the moment Superdrug have a £3 off, so it is £7.99 - bargain!

Conclusion:

To sum up, this mascara works for me on a day to day basis, as it is quite natural looking. It is currently a runner up after my Maybelline Colossal, so all in all I'm happy I bought this :)

Have you tried this mascara? What did you think?
