L'Oreal Mythic Oil Shampoo & Hair Mask Review.

 With a name just exploding with epicness I truly can't say anything bad about the Mythic Oil range!

Mythic Oil Shampoo: This shampoo is the bomb. It contains a blend of Argan oil and Cottonseed oil. I love how the bottle has a pump making it easier to control the amount you apply to your hair (1-2 pumps is advised). I have oily hair and I was doubtful as I am towards practically any shampoo I come across as to how well it would wash my hair. And...I totally fell in love! This shampoo not only cleans your hair amazingly but it smells divine and leaves your hair super nourished and soft.

Mythic Oil Hair Mask: This formula is enriched with a blend of oils such as Argan, Avocado, Cottonseed and Grapeseed. You apply the mask throughout the length of your hair for 3 minutes and enjoy the divinity of it. This mask left my hair feeling silky smooth, lightweight and shiny...it is AMAZING!

I can't wait to go out and get the oil that is in the range too (I'm a huge fan of such products).

Thank you L'Oreal Greece for the lovely gift and the opportunity to try these babies out!

Finally on Youtube!

Hey Dolls!

I am officially now on Youtube and have uploaded my first video! This is going to be a learning process for me when it comes to video editing and lighting so hopefully I'll get better at this.

I'd love to hear all of your thoughts and suggestions!

Sephora Instant Moisture Mask.

Hey Dolls!  I grabbed this at Sephora some time ago since it was on sale and generally wanted to give it a try ever since I saw my friend Mara raving about it.

It's really cool to use, it's a plastic pink shaker that comes with 4 packets of your will-be-homemade moisture mask. The contents of the packets are dry, you just empty a packet in the shaker, fill up water until where it is indicated, shake shake shake and voila...your own fresh moisture mask!

Moisturizes your skin and also gives off a nice cooling effect.

What I like about this product is that it contains HydroSenn+ and it does not have ANY parabens or preservatives.

And if you run out of mask packets, Sephora sells them individually.

Cool Tip: When adding water to mix the mask, I add ice cold water for more beneficial features and of course to keep cool during Summer.

Dabur Amla Hair Oil.

Hey Dolls, I wanted to share with you an amazing hair oil that I have been using: Dabur's Amla Hair Oil.

I came across it at the Beauty Congress I had attended a while back and a friend urged me to get it telling me it works wonders for her hair. Of course, as I have mentioned in earlier posts  I  have become really interested in hair care more than I have ever been due to bleaching my hair ends a couple of months ago.

So on to this awesome hair oil!

It is made out of natural sources of Vitamin E and of Amla which is an Indian gooseberry.

• Nurtures the scalp
• Gives hair a luxuriant glossy look 
• Keeps your hair silky and helps maintain long length 
• Nourishes and strengthens your roots and does good to your hair from the inside out.
• Protects your hair from weather extremities 

I use this as an hair oil treatment but applying it 1-2 times a week by massaging it onto my roots and going downwards towards my ends and letting it work all night while I sleep. This is the best method of application and seeing results. Then when you wake up the next day just shampoo your hair as you normally would. When you dry your hair you will see what I'm raving about.

The good part is that it's a dry oil so you don't have to worry about getting oil all over your pillow, it won't leave oil stains. The downhill for some might be the oils scent. It has a very strong scent which I can't really describe but imagine it smells like a strong kind of incense. I personally have no problem with it and actually like it.

This is a great hair product and it retails at a very good price! It has definitely won a place in my hair care routine!

Kerastase Cristalliste Review.

The ever so awesome peeps at L'Oreal Paris had sent me a gorgeous package with Kerastase's new Cristalliste products to try out. I used to never really look into hair care before but ever since I bleached my ends when I had ombre hair, I am now very into quality hair products and I'm always looking out for new cool things.

Kerastase is naming it's new line as "the best kept secret for long hair". The line is specifically designed for young women with long hair that have weighed down roots and dry ends -- totally me!

Also the line is paraben and silicone free which is a major plus.

I have been using the products for some time now and had noticed right away from the first use how soft and luminous my hair was. They had a nice healthy bounce and my roots were amped which was a really important factor for me since my roots get oily really fast, like the next day. The scent of the line is amaze -- smells like a big fresh Spring bouquet. 

The product that I really loved was the Lumiere Liquid. This can be used on pre-dried or dried hair. I find that the best results can be seen when use after you have dried your hair as a final touch. It's a  lightweight serum that adds shine to your hair. Not only my hair was silky smooth and shiny, but I LOVE the scent it leaves.

This is an awesome and luxurious line for hair treatment and I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to try it out! The only "negative" thing I could say is that the products are very pricey, I don't know if I would re-buy all the products once I'm finished with them. But as I have said before in another review on a Kerastase product is that we are talking about one of the top leading companies in hair care with numerous awards. You get what you pay for -- top notch hair care, the choice of course is yours!

Kisses Dolls!

Sephora Moisturizing Bronzing Body Lotion Review.

Hey Dolls, so now that Summer has not only officially come but is right in our face I have been really anxious to get my tan game on and was looking for a good product to help me out. Pal and fellow blogger Mara suggested the Sephora Moisturizing bronzing body lotion that she has been trying out so I decided to pick up a bottle myself the last time I was at Sephora.

AND I AM IMPRESSED WHOA!

First things first, a few things about the product

What it is:

A multitasking body lotion that gives skin immediate moisture and a natural radiance. 

What it is formulated to do:

Get soft skin and a beautiful, summertime glow with this multi-action formula. Skin is instantly nourished with long-lasting moisture, thanks to the SEPHORA skincare exclusive ingredient, HydroSenn+™, which softens skin and maximizes comfort. The fluid texture absorbs instantly—without a greasy effect. The radiant glow intensifies with each application, so you develop a subtle, even tan day after day. 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

- Parabens

- Sulfates

- Petrochemicals

- Phthalates

- GMO's

- Triclosan

Ingredients:

-HydroSenn+™: Polysaccharide derived from an Indian plant (Cassia angustifolia) with ultra-moisturizing capabilities. Forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface to capture and retain water. Ensures optimal moisture all day long. 

-DHA Complex and Erythrulose: A self-tanning complex in a low dosage that provides natural-looking, gradual color. 

-Pea Extract (Peptide): Renowned for protecting elastin and collagen fibers, which break down when exposed to harmful environmental aggressions: pollution, stress, UV. 

What I really loved about this body lotion is that it is non-greasy making it super easily absorbed by your skin -- works just like a moisturizer. Has a very nice scent to it and a very discreet sparkle to it's formula.

I have been using it for a week now and have already been seeing amazing results! It's helping my skin attain a natural glow and color without having a fake orange-y tint but revealing my true tan that suits my skin tone!

I use it every night before I go to sleep and will definitely be getting more of these babies!
