I apoligise for my long absence of posting, i've been busy writing essays and revising for my upcoming exams, so i've found it hard to get time to post. Although this has given me time to try new products, and so i present you with a review post. The things i am reviewing are:
Perfect 10 Hair colour
Simple Deep Cleansing Face Mask
No7 Duel Action Tinted Moisturiser
Also just a quick note, thank you for the reads and comments on the last post about elizibeth arden cream. It really is worth the buy. It could be good if you look for an elizibeth arden promotion at local drugstores or debanhams, and try and get free samples too.
I'm starting off this review with one with
perfect 10 which is a new hair colourant out on the market.
I tryed this in medium brown, which was slightly lighter than my current colour, and it was coloured about a month ago.
Good:-+ No Fade
+ Shines, Shines and Shines!
+ Amazing Applicator system (comb like)
+ Plenty of product
+ The most amazing smelling after conditioner
+ Takes only 10 (i did it for 15) minutes!
+ Amazing colours
Bad:-- It can be abit pricy at about £7, although it is worth it!
I would actually buy the conditioner seperatley again if it was possible, it was that nice. My hair is so long, and there was enough product in there. (chest length). Also the conditioner got all cots out so brushing it afterwards was a breeze. The colour of the hair is amazing, it shines so beautifully, and really gives your hair added sexyness.Although it's a pain brushing your hair so theres so cotty bits in it, and its all smooth, i would recommend straightening your hair before any treatment, as it makes the whole process easier, and you can see which bits need more colour at the end.
I give this product 10/10, just for being the best at home-hair colourant on the market at the minute. Definatley recommend, and will definatley use again, as well as being one of the shortest leave in times (i normally do a little longer than suggested, even this was half the time!)

The next review is about
Simple deep cleansing face mask. This is a face mask which is put on and least for approx 3minutes, which you can leave longer to about 5, although it will start drying out, and then washed off with water and your face is left feeling so soft and cleansed.
Good:-+ Leaves skin feeling soft and clean
+ Doesn't really have any smell
+ Can be used on sensitive skin
+ Cleans up skin - Spots dissapear and skin is clearer
Bad:-- Can leave the skin feeling a little dry
This face mask leaves my skin feeling so soft and clean, and as if there is no dirt at all left in it. It does feel a little dry after a while, so it could help to dab a little moisturiser on your face a while afterward, especially if you've got dry skin. It cannot be used around the eye area so stay clear. This is also a good priced product at about £3-4 in drugstores, plus simple is a brand often in 3 for 2 offers, which makes it a good deal!
This gets an 8/10 because it is a great value face mask! It could be a little better by having a nice aroma and be more deeply relaxing, although that it my personal opinion, as some people perfer unscented things.

No7 Dual protection tinted moisturiser is approx £10 from boots stores. I've been recentley on the hunt for a nice tinted moisturiser for holiday, as i don't want to wear a face full of foundation, especially when it is likely be really hot anyway. This product is advertised as for all skin types and it has a SPF of 15. Which i know isn't mega high, especially when my body shop flawless skin protecting foundation is SPF 25 although the fact that thats foundation and the other moisturiser probabley is the difference and the consistency. I was looking for an affordable product, and would have loved to been able to get the laura mercier stuff, although at around £32 its out of my price bracket. Although this actually turned out quite well.
Good:-+ Light
+ Good coverage, can always build it up if you wish
+ Hides blemishes
+ Good colour, with some tint
+ Both SPF and coverage, but light at the same time
+ feels great
+ looks natural
+ doesn't shine too much
Bad:-- Takes a little bit to settle, so can look like its made your skin look horrible, which it doesn't.
- The colours can be misleading
- More colours could be better, only light and medium.
I'm fair, and quite pale. I'm not planning to fake tan for holidays either, so i would have assumed i needed pale. But i already had a free sample of medium to try, so to test out the consistencey, i tested a little bit. It actually matches really well. I think fair would actually be too light. (I'm going to try some fair in the shop, although medium, looks nice, with a glow, and in natural light looks amazing and perfect.
This product gets a 9/10. This product really does do a great job for the price, could be a bit more colour range to improve it.
