L`Oreal Ever Pure Hair Mask

I have naturally curly, slightly frizzy hair. So I thought walking the "sulfate free" road, could be the right think for me. My choice this time: the Ever Pure Mask by L`Oreal. This is a rich, creamy maks with a herbal scent. Since it includes rosmary and mint oil, I definitely would say, that this is what I can smell. I have no trouble with herb scents, in fact I like them and they relax me quite a bit.
The mask is advertised for colour treated hair, which mine was at that time. I noticed that it helped my hair colour to stay on fresher for a longer time, it also softened and smoothed my hair. However, I do not feel that it brought back some moisture into my hair, like for example my weekly coconut oil treatment does.
Still, for a drugstore product, I think this mask performs well and is worth trying especially for those with colour treated  as well as straight hair. Though for girls with curly hair ( which tends to be on the drier side ) I would not recommend this mask.

Take care of your hair ;)

BURT`S BEES Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme

Dry hands are common especially in winter time. So once again I was out there looking for a good portion of moisture for my dry winter skin. I found the Beeswax Hand Creme in almond milk by BURT`S BEES. I have heard so many good things about this brand,  that I thought to give it a try. This brand contains only natural ingredients and I definitely respect that. However, this hand creme has done little for my dry hands. When it is applied it feels very thick and oily, actually it has a slightly sticky consistence which is not pleasant. So I applied it only at night time, elsewise  it would have been a mess. The next morning as soon as I washed my hands, they felt just the same as the night before-dry ! It could be just me, but seriously for my skin it did nearly nothing. To just make a comparison: I recently oiled/ messaged my hands before going to bed with olive oil for about 2 minutes, then I rinsed my hands with luke warm water ( do not use any soap!) and dried them with paper towels. My hands never felt this repaired, even after several washed on the next day ! Once again, the best beauty secrets are sometimes still to be found in our kitchen.

Lush Flying Fox Shower Gel

Today I want to review one of the best smelling shower gels out there ( in my opinion at least..) . For those of you who enjoy the seductive scent of Jasmin mixed with sweet honey, this is the right for you! I mean it, it is  really a heavy scent of honey and just the right amount of jasmin in a bottle. After using this luxurious shower gel, I swear to you , all my bathroom smells of this scent. The fragrance keeps lingering on the skin for about 3-5 hours after applying. What I also love about LUSH shower gels  is that they do not dry out my skin, which might be due to the fact that the first ingredient in this shower gel is HONEY! To be exact LUSH says, that it includes Hungarian, Greek as well as English honey. It` s like a honey party under the shower. However, this beautiful shower gel also includes some precious floral oils like jasmin oil as well as ylang ylang oil, which keeps you smelling faboulos after every shower. I recognized that the honey really hydrates my skin, while the floral scents of the oils keep staying on me hours after the shower. I rarely see shower gels which do exactly that. I know LUSH can be expensive at times, but trust me it `s so worth  every penny. I give a big plus to the ingeredients ( one little minus I give for Natrium Laureth Sulfat, though it is quite far in the ingredients list) . I advice Flying Fox to all of those who appreciate heavy honey floral scents and a good kick of moisture for their baby skin ;)

Enjoy!
