The Saviour of Oily Roots and Dry Ends! (AKA, Extraordinary Clay by Elvive)

L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Clay Shampoo and Conditioner

(3 for £10 at Boots!)

For me, this shampoo and conditioner are long awaited! I've suffered from oily roots for years and although I've had shampoo's that worked for my hair, they never worked as well as this does. 

This new range by L'Oreal Paris Elvive, is the stuff dreams are made of (OTT?). As soon as I heard about it I know I had to try it, and then when I first tried it I knew I never wanted to change shampoo again. Some of you may think I'm crazy for being this excited about a hair range but, if you have oily hair, you'll probably share my joy.

The range is called 'Extraordinary Clay' and features 5 products (to view the full range click here). The two picked up are the 'L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay Anti-Dandruff Shampoo' and 'L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing Conditioner'.

There are 2 different shampoos in the range. The shampoo I decided is the one for 'Oily Roots with Dry Ends Prone to Dandruff'. Now, I don't really have dry ends but I think everyone's ends can use a bit of extra loving. However, I do suffer from dandruff at the front of my scalp. I always thought it was just me that has strange hair that's somehow oily but prone to dandruff but no, it must happen to other people too! So the fact this shampoo sorts out my oiliness, dandruff and dry ends is great. 

Elvive claim this shampoo uses '3 refined clays and Piroctone-O' to create a range that re-balances the hair and keeps it purified for up to 72 hours.

As you can see from the images, I've only tried 2 of the products from the range, but I'm extremely impressed. There's a dry shampoo in the range and that's something I'm definitely going to purchase next time I'm out shopping.

Will you be purchasing anything from this range? If so, let me know if you've had the same great experience as me!

Blend Away Your Eyeshadow Woes With KIKO Milano 'Eye Brushes'

Brushes From KIKO Milano

The other week I popped to Meadowhall, and whist there I decided to have a little nosey around KIKO Milano's new store. I actually went in to look at make up but soon got distracted by the make up brushes. I'd been wanting some new eyeshadow brushes for a while and once I'd seen these I just had to give them a try.

Blending Brush 200 - £10.90

The main type of brush I was after was a fluffy blending brush. I spotted this one and it was just what I needed, the only problem was there wasn't any out, but a lovely Sales Assistant went and got me one out of the back. This brush it incredibly soft and could blend even the harshest of colours. When I bought this it was £5.45, but it's now gone back up to full price.

Perfect Eyes Set - £22.90

When I picked up the blending brush the Sales Assistant also suggested another brush to me so I picked one of those up as well. However, when I was mooching round the shop, I came across the 'Perfect Eyes Brush Set'. In this set there are four brushes which come in a turquoise and yellow case (shown in the first image of this post). I put the other brush back and got this set instead as it was more cost effective.

The brushes in the set are:

01 - Blending Brush - Perfect for packing eyeshadow onto the lid or blending out

02 - Precision Brush - Great for blending or adding more precise colour

03 - Precision Liner Brush - Can be used to create a cut crease or add liner 

04 - Angled Brush - Good for blending shadow on the outer area of the eyelid

Overall, all the brushes I purchased are great quality and look elegant and professional. I've had some eyeshadow brushes before that hurt to use as the bristles prick your eyelid but these ones are gorgeously soft and comfortable to use. These brushes are amazing value for brushes as the quality is really good, I can't recommend them enough!
