Dove Intensive Repair

Today I am reviewing Dove Intensive Repair from the Dove Damage Therapy range, sent to me from the lovely ladies at the Beauty Bulletin. Dove Intensive Repair for hair, is a daily treatment conditioner. It is a new generation conditioner which also contains a treatment. The treatment contains Fibre Actives™ which penetrate deep inside the hair to repair damaged proteins and the conditioner contains a Micro Moisture Serum which intensely nourishes and seals lifted cuticles, to prevent future damage.

I really enjoyed using this product! It has a lovely fresh fragrance and is extremely easy to use. Plus it comes in a handy container perfect for storing in the shower. After shampooing your hair, apply Dove Intensive Repair to wet hair and leave on for 1 minute. Rinse out and you are done – it is as easy as that! Style as you normally would. My hair was super easy to comb through afterwards and I had a lovely silky finish after styling. My hair is fine and naturally oily, so personally I would probably only use the product every second day.

I also used the Dove Intensive Repair on my daughter’s hair which although fine, is very curly and difficult to manage and it worked extremely well. Her hair was also easy to comb through and not fly away on the ends, as it usually is after washing.

I would definitely recommend Dove Intensive Repair and I feel that it is suitable for all hair types. I feel that it will work particularly well on dry or damaged hair.

Below you can see my video review of the product:

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is a new foundation, Fluidsplash 3in1, I am trying by Model co.  Model co is a cult beauty brand based in Sydney, Australia and is the creation of former model agent Shelley Barrett.

Fluidsplash 3 in 1 Foundation is a revolutionary oil-free liquid foundation that comes with a concealer & eye base conveniently hidden in the lid. What an awesome idea! Now instead of having to carry three products in your purse you just need one! It is perfect for those touch-ups on the run, before a hot date or business meeting. Fluidsplash  feels super light on your skin, giving you a natural dewy finish.

A buildable, deeply hydrating water based formula with over 50% water content that lets you achieve the coverage you desire – a flattering & long-lasting finish without a heavy effect.

Fluidsplash is enriched with Vitamin E & Aloe Vera, making it is easy to blend. The eye base will give you longer wear from your eye shadow and the concealer will help to cover up blemishes, giving you an overall flawless finish.

ModelCo creates premium beauty products for high demand consumers that are smart, quick-fix, multi-purpose and unique. The formulations, applications & packaging are revolutionary and of a premium quality. Each product cleverly combines cutting-edge creativity and technical innovation.

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is from Rimmel London. One of my many beauty addictions is lipgloss, I have one for every shade of lipstick I wear, as I love to blend them. I usually use the Rimmel Stay Glossy Lipgloss but I decided to try the Rimmel Vinyl Max Lipgloss for a change, the colour is No.401 Obsession.

It promises to be a “One stroke maxi shine lipgloss” and it certainly lives up to that promise. Above you can see with just one application you have gorgeous shiny lips, I did apply a bit of lip liner before hand to prevent the gloss bleeding. It smells good enough to eat and I love the plummy colour, it matches in so well with all the stunning jewel tones I am currently wearing. It is also long-lasting!

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week is a Powder Blush from Almay. I have extremely sensitive skin which seems to be getting worse as I get older and I have found that Almay caters for people with sensitive skin. Their products are Hypo-Allergenic and very gentle on the skin.

I usually use no 01 Natural in the Almay Powder Blush in summer, as I find it gives you a natural sun-kissed glow but I decided to try the 04 Pink for winter. I am loving the colour, it gives me a pretty rosy cheek. For a seamless well blended blush application I have started using a Kabuki brush, which feels so soft, like feathers caressing your cheeks.

Another Almay product that I love is the Clear Complexion One-Step Compact Makeup, which gives create coverage and as it is in compact form makes for easy application on the run.

Beautiful Earth Fathers Day Giveaway

This week I am very excited to be reviewing two more products from the Beautiful Earth range. Well actually my hubby is using them but I am sharing about them as they are from their men’s range. Beautiful Earth, as I have mentioned previously, is a specialist manufacturing company, distributing 100% natural products for personal care, to individual consumers and the hospitality industry.

The two products are both After Shave Balms and along with amazing soothing properties they are moisturising and nourishing for the skin, which is perfect post shaving.

SPEARMINT AFTERSHAVE BALM

This light lotion moisturises and shields skin from the negative effects of shaving. It contains Shea Butter, Grapeseed and Macadamia Nut oil and vitamin A and E to moisturise, for skin that looks and feels its natural best. Spearmint and Lemon oils have a fresh soft fragrance. Lemon essential oil will help to minimise skin irritation from shaving. This non-greasy anti-aging moisturiser absorbs quickly leaving your skin hydrated, calm and nourished.

This balm has a lovely invigorating smell and leaves my skin feeling fresh and moisturised after use – Grant Rossiter

ORANGE AFTERSHAVE BALM

This light lotion moisturises and shields skin from the negative effects of shaving. It contains Shea Butter, Grapeseed and Macadamia Nut oil and vitamin A and E to moisturise, for skin that looks and feels its natural best. Fresh citrus oils of Sweet Orange are blended in the warm, spicy depth of Patchouli and Frankincense oils for a crisp, woodsy scent. Your skin will smell as good as it feels. Frankincense essential oil will help to minimise the fine lines and Rose gives your skin an even texture. This non-greasy anti-aging moisturiser absorbs quickly and gives you a healthier more youthful appearance.

The Orange aftershave balm has a more subtle fragrance than the Spearmint balm but still leaves your skin feeling soothed and moisturised after shaving ~ Grant Rossiter
