Aussie Colour Mate Conditioner: Quick Review

Having just died my hair a violent purple colour, I decided to go back to my old favourite of Aussie Colour Mate Conditioner. I've used this in the past when I had crazy red hair (but that was a permanent dye and the purple is actually semi-permanent).

Smell: Oh god yes aussie you smell so good imma gonna eat you.

Price: Always good for a deal of 3 for £10 in boots/superdrug, but still at the high end of my budget.

Effectiveness: Used without shampoo rinsed in cold water this kept my hair bright for ages.

Rating: 9/10

Soap and Glory Hand Food : Quick review

Ok, so I have really gnarly hands for a 21 year old. Sorry about that, it's some kind of art student thing. Probably the days I spend being covered in ink. So I've gone on a bit of a search for some nice hand creams.

Up first:

Soap and Glory Hand Food 

Smell: Standard Soap and Glory smell. Which I think is nice, fruity and nut oily.

Effectiveness: Does hydrate my hands, sinking in fast with little to no grease. However, the effects are not long lasting and after a few hours they're dry feeling. I'm lazy. I don't carry stuff like this around with me and I have no desire to!

Overall: I'm going to use it till it runs out and then find something more long lasting! 5/10


Soap and Glory Hand Food 50ml (HAND FOOD™ MINI), RRP: £2.50 

 

Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden Body Lotion with Ginger extract - Quick Review

Overall: Ok. Not amazing at being a moisturiser, but then again I am quite demanding of my moisturisers. 4/10
Scent: Wonderful gingery smell.  
Special Uses: Zing up your neck area. 
I actually got this for free, so I'll be using it all! RRP: £5.50

Naked Divine Curls Serum - Quick review

Name: Naked Style Divine Curls Serum (50ml)

Price: £2.49 (SemiChem) or £5.99 (Boots)

Product Claims: Helps define curls, Silicone free, 97% Natural 

Smell: Slightly fruity with ginger wine tones.

How I used it: After washing and towel drying slightly I used it as a detangler/first step to curls regime, then brushed it through whist still wet. I then added a holding product (in this instance it was
L'Oreal Elvive Styliste Mousse Colour Protect), scrunched and clipped and left to dry naturally.

Verdict: As a curl definer it did an ok job. It's not as good as other serums (like got2b Oil-Licious or Aussie Curl Definition) but for how much you get at the SemiChem price it does it cheaply. It doesn't make my hair greasy or anything horrible like a heavy oil would so that's something.

A good priced product but wouldn't purchase again. 5/10
