John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume in Shower Treatment Review

John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume in Shower Treatment Review

Oh why, oh why! My sister has beautiful long hair that bounces when she walks and swishes like a vale of copper glitter. Me on the other hand...my hair is fine, brittle and can't decide if it wants to be blonde or brown.

I like to try the latest hair products, promising the hair you dream of in small squeezy bottles! The fresh face on the scene is the new John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume In-Shower Treatment...*puts tongue back in mouth*.

What they say: An innovative treatment with volume boosting polymers, penetrates fine hair to thicken individual hair fibers and enhance thickness and fullness for volume building style.

What I say: After shampooing and conditioning as normal, I apply 3 pumps to the palm of my hand and rub it through damp hair. I have really flat roots, so I make sure I concentrate on that area. Once I am happy I have covered my entire head I leave it to work magic for 4 minuets. Have a bit of a sing in the shower or shave my legs.

Once that is done I just rinse it off with semi warm water. I dry my hair upside-down with the hair dryer to create as much lift as possible!

There is definitely a noticeable difference, my hair feels thicker and their is more of a lift at the root. I use this if I am going on a night out, it holds a style really well. Only negative point is that I wash my hair every day, so it doesn't last for me 7 days.


Have you tried this volume boosting hero?

Stay beautiful

Bare Minerals Complexion Review

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Review
Like many acne sufferers I rely on heavy foundation to cover up blemishes and scaring. It can be hard in the warmer months as heavy based liquid foundations often run and melt into patches. One way to avoid this is to try a tinted moisturiser but trade for coverage. 

I was recently given the new Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Gel Cream and I gave it a whirl. 


Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Review



What they say: New to our UK collection, a multitasking genius that combines skincare benefits and naturally radiant coverage in one. The best of a BB, a CC, and a tinted moisturiser...with a 215% increase in skin hydration after just one week. This tinted Complexion Rescue gel cream alleviates the need for a heavy foundation, giving a smooth tint to your face and evening out your complexion in the stroke of a brush. 

What I say: There are 10 shades in the range, which is pretty good if like me your skin tone doesn't fit into light, medium or dark category. The gel based texture is lovely and light, using a brush to apply it I found the cream blended amazingly well onto the skin. 

As it says this is quite sheer but it did a pretty good job of evening out the skin tone and I only need a little concealer to finish the look. It isn't a cheap option, but if you are looking for skin benefits then this if for you - plus a little goes a long way!



Do you recommend any tinted moisturisers?

Stay beautiful
