Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-In Conditioner

-
The Shea Moisture range always catches my eye whenever I browse a drugstore in America and now it’s available in Boots it's much easier for those of us in the UK to get hold of.  Of course it’s cheaper in the US, so I decided to buy some of the Jamaican Black Castor Oil range while I was in Florida.  It's free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates, paraffin, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colour, DEA and there is no animal testing and it's great for curly hair.

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Shampoo with Shea Butter & Apple Cider Vinegar
The shampoo is a dark brown colour and is a runny consistency.  It smells like sugary vanilla, but it’s not overpowering or overly sweet.  It lathers up very easily and does not leave my hair feeling all tangled, which some shampoos do.  The shampoo removes build up whilst moisturising the hair.

The conditioner is a pale brown colour and it's thicker than the shampoo, but not too thick, so it comes out easily using the pump action top.  After using both the shampoo and conditioner from this range, my hair is definitely less tangled and knotty and much easier to brush through.  It also helps to eliminate frizz and so my curls look more defined after using my usual styling product.

If my hair is feeling particularly dry, then I will use the leave-in conditioner which is a thick, creamy substance that you scoop out of a tub.  You only need a small amount to work through your hair and again it makes it much easier to brush through and leaves my curls frizz free.

I love all 3 products from the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil range and they are suitable for natural, chemically processed, colour treated or heat styled hair.  They are available to buy in Boots, Superdrug and HQHair.  They are available at Ulta and Walgreens in the USA.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet.

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
