From Sprays to Foams to Dust :Tresemmé Hair Products


From Sprays to Foams to Dust : Tresemmé Hair Products 


Tresemmé 

Tresemmé Salon Finish Strong Hold Hairspray

The first thing that attracted me to this hairspray was the size of the bottle! It is a mini bottle and is the perfect size to pop in your handbag if you had a special occasion to go to and wanted to bring along back up hairspray just in case, Similarly its a fab size for travelling. I use this hairspray on updos because it is super strong hold! 

Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray

I love this product. I always use a heat defense spray before using any sort of heat on my hair because it is so fine and gets damaged so easily. I have to be careful not to use products which will weigh down my already quite limp hair and I find that the Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray doesn't weigh down my hair even if I use it liberally which is the perfect balance of protection and product for me. This product keeps my hair from going super frizzy for the day and also the second day and therfore I use less heat which is a great bonus for my very fine hair!  

Tresemmé Instant Refresh Waterless Foam Shampoo 

I had never heard of anything like this product until my sister bought ti for me as a little random present. I usually would use dry shampoo if I needed to refresh my hair between washes and so I wasn't sure how I felt about using a foam. I have naturally oily roots but quite dry ends. As I find with all Tresemmé products it smells amazing! Personally this product was not the product for me. My hair needs more of a dry shampoo at the roots because it would be quite oily by the second day. the Waterless Foam Shampoo need give my hair a fresh feeling and worked well in the lengths of my hair but I found my roots still looked like second day old hair. I tend to use a combination of this and a dry shampoo and this seems to work well for me! If you had fine and dry hair I would say this product would work a treat for you. 

Tresemmé Texture Style Backcomb Dust

Another lifesaver product for me! The first few times I used this Backcomb Dust I was a little disappointed. I followed the instructions which said to place a small amount of dust between your hands, rub together and massage into roots. I just wasn't achieving the results I wanted with this technique. I decided to pour a small amount directly on my roots on the crown of my head instead and this worked a treat. The effect it creates is a fully backcombed effect without damaging your hair by physically backcombing your hair. It saves on the grueling knots the next morning too!! 


As always thank you for reading!!

January Empties

January Empties


I cannot believe it is the 1st of February already! Where has time gone? I thought it would be a good idea to look back on January and see what I products I finished off and what I thought of them! 

 

Beverly Hills Formula Perfect White Sensitive

I really liked this toothpaste. I am quite picky with toothpastes. I like whitening toothpastes that aren't too harsh on the enamel on your teeth so I was happy to see a sensitive whitening toothpaste. It is also made in Ireland so I feel good supporting Irish made products. I will definitely be repurchasing.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Ivory

This is my favourite foundation and would be one that I would wear day in day out. I have previously written a review of it here. Now that I  have finished the bottle I think I will try use up some of my other foundations before buying a another Match Perfection. To see what I am using at the moment check out my make up bag post. This is a staple in my make up collection so I know it will be only a matter of time before I repurchase again. 

Tresemmé Platinum Strength Leave in Conditioner 

My hair went through an awful period little over a year ago. I had been getting highlights for a year or two and my dark brown hair was at this stage very blonde! I loved it -I have always had a soft spot for blonde hair- but my hair did not love me for all I put it through. It was dry and brittle. I would spend an hour after every wash try to comb through the most horrendous knots. My heart was broken trying to revive my dead hair so I had to cut my hair shorter than I would have liked and return to my natural colour. Part of my regime to get my hair healthy again was this Tresemmé Platinum Strength Leave in Conditioner and it was a life saver. I no longer need to use it after every wash but every now and again when I remember just how bad my hair once was I pop a bit in the ends of my hair just to make sure it never gets to that stage again!  

Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean

Wow, wow, wow. I love this product. I keep it in the shower and use with my clarisonic and my skin literally feels squeaky clean after it. I also use it on my décolletage and my skin feels divine after it. Also a tiny amount goes a very long way. I would love to buy this product again but it is pricey so I will have to go on my wishlist for the moment.

Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Night Treatment Gel  

I love this product particularly because I love the smell of Tea Tree and Witch Hazel and this product smells amazing. My boyfriend doesn't like very fragrant creams and I keep this in mind especially if its a night cream and he would be stuck sleeping next to me but he loved the smell of this cream! I'm pretty sure he even robbed a bit for himself on a few occasions! I used to use this every night when my skin was going through a rough patch but now that it has settled down I would only use it once or twice a week. 

And that ends my January empties! Hope you enjoyed reading this post :)

Lots of love,

My Hair Care Routine - John Frieda

My Hair Care Routine - John Frieda



I have very fine hair and lots of it so I am prone to frizz! These products help me win the battle against frizz everyday and I would be lost without them. Because my hair is so fine I don't like to use too much heat on it as it gets damaged so easily so I try to use anti-frizz products so I don't have to straighten my hair. 

John Freida - Frizz ease, shampoo, conditioner and serum.

I find with these products I can let my hair dry naturally and simple brush into a style and I am ready to go. Equally I makes styling my hair easier for my elaborate hairstyles as I have a smooth base to start with.

What is your favorite shampoo and conditioner?
