March and April Duds

Hello Lovlies!
I have decided to do a monthly duds post to talk about some products I have found to be let downs. This is me talking about my personal opinions and experiences with these products, I am not suggesting that these products wouldn't work for you.

This post is about the products I have used over March and April that I found pretty poop. These products were used through to the end because I didn't want to waste them, but in the end they just weren't worth repurchasing.

Hair:

• MATRIX Colour Care So Silver Shampoo/Conditioner - $20 (for the pack) (Price Attack/Hairhouse Warehouse)

This silver/purple shampoo was probably the most aggravating coloured shampoo I have ever used! Every time I used the shampoo it dried my hair out so much that I had to put a moisture rich conditioner in just to make my hair feel semi normal. I also noticed a considerable amount of breakage on the washes I used it in comparison to the washes I went without it.

In all honesty this is the only product over the past two months I have not liked.

within the next week I will be posting my March and April favourites blog as well as my March and April duds blog!

March and April Favourites!

Hello Lovelies!

I thought I should do a favourites blog, but as I am really lazy right now I am going to combine each months favourite into a favourite I have been loving for these past two months!

Each product will be sorted into categories and will include it's AUS price as well as the shop/shops it can be purchased from.

Beauty:

• L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder (light & medium) - $26.95 (Priceline)

This powder is so soft and silky it honestly feels like there is nothing on your face! But, what I thought was amazing when I have been using this powder is that if you put it over the top of foundation as a pressed powder it really helps control the oils and stops your face from looking shiny ALL day!

• Rimmel London Metal Rush (Gold Save the Queen & Royale Blue) - $7.95 (Priceline)

At the moment I have been wearing Royale Blue every day and although there has been a little chipping to the top of SOME of my nails it hasn't been very noticeable. The Metal Rush collection is really cool because depending on what direction your nails are in the colour looks completely different! For instance Royale Blue in one light can look green, purple or blue. But it can also look blue and green or blue and purple.

• M.A.C Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation (1.0) - $59.00 (M.A.C)

I have been using this foundation for a few months now and I have noticed that on its own it can make your skin look a little shiny and oily, but it does keep my face sunburn free.  This foundation works really well with my L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder and as a result my face doesn't get oily and I am able to keep the same coverage all day.

Hair:

• Joico K-PAK RECONSTRUCT Liquid Reconstructor - around $20

OH. MY. GOSH.
I have used the liquid reconstructor for just over a month now and I have noticed a massive improvement in my hair! The quality of my hair has improved immensely and all I have to do is after I towel dry my hair I spray a few spritz all over my hair and then let my hair finish air drying. When it comes to straightening my hair there is less breakage, my hair smells amazing and it feels so soft and smooth!!

• REDKEN 5TH AVENUE NYC FOR MEN Silver Charge shampoo - $25.50 (Hairhouse Warehouse)

I have finally found a silver/purple shampoo that doesn't feel like it is completely drying up my fried hair!! The Redken Silver Charge silver shampoo with steel lock technology is AMAZING!! When I opened the bottle the first thing I noticed was how dark the shampoo was. This silver/purple shampoo is so pigmented that it really does tone your hair in 3 minutes. (My hair is platinum blond but I am slowly trying to get it to an almost white colour and this shampoo has dramatically changed my hair colour! I have no more yellow tones in my hair and they are taking longer and longer to come back!)

My hair is slowly starting to feel more and more normal and I think it has a great deal to do with this shampoo!

I know this isn't a big list of things but over the past two months I have tried many different products and these are the ones that I am really loving right now.
