L'Oreal Ever Riche Shampoo Nourishing and Flowing

Well, I thought I had gotten the tubes mixed up! There I am in the shower, and obviously I don't wear my specs in there-reaching for the shampoo, having a squirt and thinking, "Hold on a sec, I think I've got the conditioner here". WRONG! It was the shampoo!

 The L'Oreal EverRiche shampoo is so luxuriously creamy, it is like conditioner. I also found I didn't need to use as much as my normal brand.
 It is slightly more expensive to buy than my normal brand, but if I only have to use half as much, it's just as economical to use on a daily basis.

 Now to the fragrance. Have you ever walked through a tropical rainforest, with carpets of beautiful, bright rainbow coloured flowers, with a hint of dew, and drops of delicate rain? No, neither have I, but this shampoo smells like I imagine said rainforest would. Seriously though, the fragrance is delicate yet lasting.

 The after effects next....I have very dry ends on my hair and I do tend to look a bit like an ungroomed lion a lot of the time, and I can definitely see a difference already, even after just one use. So I can only imagine what will happen with continuous use. So, for what my humble opinion is worth, I would say go for it, go and buy it and give it a go yourself. 

I am an honest person, and if I thought you would be wasting your money, I certainly wouldn't recommend it. We are all watching our £ too much these days. It certainly does what L'Oreal says it will.

My First experience with Clinique

I don't know about you, but I seem to spend a great deal of money on items of make up, that are just not suitable for my skin. Now because I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere, I buy the majority of my items online, which means I can't test them first.
For an awful long time it seems, I have been buying the wrong shades and tones, which is how I end up looking like an Oompa Loompa a lot of the time.
Now recently, while on holiday in Puerto Pollenca, I found a shop that sold the Clinique 3-step Introduction kit for Skin Care.
http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1571/15559/3--step/3--Step-Sets/3-Step-Introduction-Kit-Skin-Type-2/index.tmpl

Now I tried this when I got back from my hols, and rapidly noticed an improvement in the way my skin felt and looked. I'd never tried Clinique before, as I always thought it was a tad on the expensive side and for older ladies. WRONG.
The amount of money I must spend on products I end up chucking in the bin or giving to friends, I probably could have bought the Clinique company!
So, actually having found a product I like and will use, economically works out cheaper, even though the initial outlay might be more.

So, while browing the internet one day, I found the Clinique website http://www.clinique.co.uk/ and found they had a live chat option. So, I started a live chat with "Angela", and we started chatting about my concerns and what I wanted out of my product. "Angela" was really knowledgeable and knew exactly what I was talking about. Our chat lasted probably 15 mins or so, and I found it really helpful. She explained that the orange look was because I was using foundation with pinky undertones, which is not correct for my colouring. She also asked what I wanted from my foundation, and I wanted long lasting, but natural looking.

This is what she recommended http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1599/5238/Makeup/Foundations/Perfectly-Real-Makeup/index.tmpl in shade 4. She also said another one would be good, but I can't remember which now.

I made a purchase on "Angela's" recommendations, and it wasn't cheap, but not overly expensive either. A few days later, my goodies arrived, and I can't tell you what a difference it makes. It's a fab foundation, does what "Angela" said it would, and a little goes a long way, so I know it's gonna last a long time.
Finally, I can leave the house knowing I don't look like one of Willy Wonka's pals.

I would thoroughly recommend buying products this way, and I know when I need another make up item, I won't take a chance and I will go straight to Clinique.
Good job guys

Veet Easy Wax- actually not so easy!

This is my first blog, so please be gentle.
Right, I have just done a trial for Veet Easywax. I got this item for free because I am a Bzz Agent.
I have been a Bzz agent for some time now, and have done various trials since being a member. And I have to say, this is the trial I have been most excited about, and then the most disappointed about, sadly.
The instructions are clear, and easy to read. That is a good point, of which sadly there are few.
The wax took 40 minutes to heat, and could have done with more, but instructions say, heat for no more than 40 mins. Bad point.
Not easy to apply as I felt wax was not heated up enough, I felt it was pulling the skin under my arm. Bad point.
Strips easy to apply. Good point.
Pulling strips off, was not so bad, not so painful, but that was probably because not much hair was attached. Bad point.
Several tries later, still not much success and I couldn't do any more as the skin under my arm was quite sore by this point. Bad point.
Aftercare wipe was lovely. Removed excess wax well, soothing, lovely fragrance. Good point.

As you can see, the bad points outweigh the good, making it a poor product in my opinion. It doesn't do what it says on the tin, unfortunately. Was really looking forward to having no hairy oxters for up to 4 weeks-alas, it is back to the trusty razor for me.
