Review: L'Oreal Elvive Nourish & Shimmer Highlights Shampoo and Conditioner

Afternoon again kittens,

I have another review to dish out :)

Naturally I have dark blonde hair almost mousy brown, my skin is too pale to go darker so I made the decision last year to go blonder but cunningly with highlights, going lighter and lighter each time I have them re-done.

The genius of having naturally dark blond hair is when my highlights grow out slightly you cant really notice the difference :) But thats not to say I am lazy.

I have tried John Frieda's Blonde option shampoos and conditioner, and I was not overly struck by them.

I have also tried V05's selection of blonde shampoos and conditioner, and was more impressed than John Freida.

Introducing L'Oreal Elvive Nourish and Shimmer Highlights Shampoo and Conditioner.

What The Company Say:

The brightness of your highlights can fade. To keep them looking their best, you need a specific, targeted care, for touchably soft hair and bright, illuminated shine.

L’Oreal Paris has created its first nourishing conditioner enriched with Royal Jelly and Brighteners that provides specific, targeted care for highlighted hair.

My Opinion:

The scent of this shampoo and conditioner collection reminds me of Milk and Honey, and is a welcome change from the usual scent of Lemon and Camomile which alot of blonde shampoo and conditioner collections carry.

The shampoo lathers very quickly and easily worked into the hair, and full of scent. The conditioner is creamy and instantly glided through my hair, I left the conditioner on for about 3 mins and combed it through, then rinsed my hair through.

I blow dry my hair rather than letting it dry naturally as I am quite impatient, with other blonde products that I have used on my hair leave it tangled and sometimes matted, but with L'Oreal I was able to comb through my hair after I had towel dried it without much effort.

Price: £2.45 each in Boots :) 5/5

Packaging: Clean Lines, I was able to tell the difference between the shampoo and conditioner easy. Also the way the bottles are designed when they were near emptying it was easy to get the rest of the products out. 5/5 

Product: I shall be buying this again was very impressed 5/5

Snow Day

Good afternoon petals, Today in my little part of Britain it is a complete white out :)

Where I live is no where near as beautiful as this, but it is very snowy and fresh.

I cant get to the hospital to go to work so I thought I should revel in the snow :)

Spring Clean

Indeed by the title it is apparent I am having a spring clean in room.

I have problems with cleaning my room, its not that I am awfully messy, it is that when I do partake in the cleaning activity, I find items I may have misplaced or forgot I had. Today this has happened to me :)

I told you in an earlier post that I have a small journal/diary type book I recieved for Christmas

Not as pretty as those above its quite simple.

I have a some tasks to complete for 2010

well tasks is the wrong title to use, places I would like to venture to.

    There you go just a small insight

Wishlist: February

Hello Petals,

As you can tell, I have quite a bit of free time on my hands. My neice jessica is 11 months old and is keeping herslef amused with her activity table and America's Next Top Model.............ok thats on for my amusement, but she loves it too so everyone is happy :)

At the moment in the sparkly world beauty and fashion there is so much I want, but as usual with my student wages I can not afford everything that I want. TYPICAL!

Valentines day is on its way round, maybe I could treat myself, or be treated ;-p

Marc Jacobs Lola

 

This as well as Nina Ricci's Ricci Ricci, was on my Christmas List, but Santa decided Nina Ricci would be more deserving. So I am still eagerly waiting for this................Valentines Day anyone!?

Disney Couture Alice in Wonderland Wrap Bracelet

For along time I have wanted this, and its very fitting dont you think, I have a sneaky feeling a family member has purchased one as a present, cant let too much away :)

Urban Decay: Alice Palette

 Ok so Alice seems to be a running theme, I want baaaaaad! (no more alice now I promise xx)

Essie 

• Watermelon - A refreshing juicy deep peach
• Barbados Blue - Baby Blue

Also a new care would be wonderful!

What Brand do you consider better, OPI or Essie and why?

Something Alittle Different

Last Night I could not sleep for the life of me, and this morning I had to be up early to babysit my neice Jessica. But anyways last night I needed to find something to do other than "count sheep".

I was flicking through pictures of this years Grammy Awards, I came across a picture of Lady GaGa:

 

Does anyone think this is alittle toned down for the Lady of GaGa?

I actually quite like it in a strange fairytale way, the intricacies and design of the dress. Who designed the dress I hear you ask? Armani Privé thats who. 

According to the Telegraph, Armani Privé was inspired by the Sky at Night for his Haute Couture Collection of Spring/Summer 10.

Lets take a look at some of Lady GaGa's wackier ensembles :)

Only she could pull off right?

 

So what do you think Lady GaGa's most eccentric garments are?

Must get back to the small infant now 

Love Love
