REVIEW! Macadamia Natural Oil - Deep Repair Masque


So, before I give you the lowdown of this product, I thought I would give you a bit of background about my hair. This is just so you know if I say anything positive/negative about this product, it could just be referring to the effects of my specific hair type.

I have VERY curly hair, which is a nightmare to tame daily. Whether it is straightened with GHDs (where I make sure heat protection is used) or left to naturally dry, I seem to have split ends. I don’t straighten my hair that much anymore, but did abuse it in my early teens (13-15) which I regret immensely, and feel the dried-out-ness was un-repairable... Then I caught sight of the remarkable reviews of this product...

Beauty gurus on YouTube constantly have this product in their “Beauty Favourites” or “Haircare Routine” videos and rave, rave, rave about it, to the point where I considered ordering it for full price from an online store. I decided not to do this as I never really purchase “high end” hair products and thought the £30 price tag was a little bit expensive, but then I saw they stocked Macadamia Natural Oil products in TKMaxx, and only had one of the Deep Repair Masques in stock. I managed to purchase the 500ml size for £19.99 (Which is cheaper than the 250ml size online!) and read the claims on the back of the tub…

“Our Macadamia and Argan oils combine with tea tree and chamomile oils, aloe and algae extracts to produce miracle-like hair rejuvenation.” Sounds pretty amazing, right?

However, I have used this product now once a week for 5 weeks, and have unfortunately not noticed any remarkable changes to my untameable locks, but the product does have many pros.

-          The smell is amazing. It isn’t overpowering but it very noticeable. It got to the point where my mum was asking me what perfume I was wearing, when I didn’t have any on.

-          The effects (which only seem to last for a day) left my hair feeling very soft and for those 24 hours after application my split ends seemed to disappear.

-          Compared to high street hair masks, you can tell this product is healthier for your hair, as high street masks tend to use more synthetic ingredients which can often do more damage than good, whereas the Macadamia Oil one contains mostly natural ingredients.

I think I would recommend this product to those who have mildly manageable hair, maybe hair that is quite thin, as I’m sure they would be able to feel the full effects of this product, the proclaimed “miracle-like hair rejuvenation”. I am still unsure as to whether I’d repurchase this product, but if I did, it would be in a TKMaxx store for £19.99, and not online for the RRP.

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical ...
