An expert toner

Advantages: Gentle
Disadvantages: None for me

...Boots expert sensitive toner I like the Boots expert range and find they suit my skin and cause no nasty reactions, so when this was on special offer at half price I naturally bought it. The Hypoallergenic toner has been specially formulated for sensitive skin and contains aloe vera to soothe the skin. It will apparently sweep away the last traces of make up so that skin is clean and ready for moisturising. It is frangrance and lanolin free and dermatologically tested so i am ready for something very gentle as promised. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The lotion comes in a 200ml plastic bottle which like all of the Boots Expert range is quite simple and not at all fancy with the bottle being clear and instructions and information on the back of the bottle. The screw on/off lid reveals the toner which As expected, is completely...

Review of Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner

A little bit of expert help

Advantages: Does what it says
Disadvantages: none for my nails

...Boots expert conditioning nail polish remover Having decided to have a go at improving the condition of my nails, I needed a nail polish remover and wanted one which hopefully wouldn?t make my nails too brittle and thus undo any good work I was doing. This one promises to be different and claims that whilst some nail varnish removers take off more than you bargained for, this will remove the polish but because it?s enriched with apricot kernel oil and pro vitamin B5, nails won?t be left dry and brittle. If it does indeed do this, then this is the one i need, and because i tend to like the Boots expert products, i immediately bought one. The nail polish remover comes in a plastic bottle containing 150ml of the stuff, with all of the instructions and information on the back of the bottle. When I look at it appears to be orange but...

At home with The Colour Experts

Advantages: Excellent idea - works well
Disadvantages: Bit pricey

...Any of you that read womens magazines will have been bombarded with the advertising campaign for L'Oreal Couleur Experte lately. As you know, there is a magnet in my purse that is attracted to my true North (aka Boots the Chemist) and on a search and buy mission last week, I decided that this new hair colour didn't look half bad - also there was £3 off, which helped. The basic premise is that you use a "base" colour all over your hair, then add your own highlights after. This was especially appealing to me, becuase I had my hair highlighted about three months ago, and was showing a serious amount of unappealing rootage. (On a side note - does it annoy you that the "professionals" charge exactly the same amount to do your roots as you paid for the first go? And they have you over a bit of a barrel as well, because you either stay...

A not so expert make up remover!

Advantages: Works a little, would be fine (I assume) for light make up wearers
Disadvantages: Doesn't do a good job for me at all and it's too expensive for what it is in my opinion

...Removing make-up can be a real ordeal particularly if like me you plaster yourself in it daily! I'm always on the look out for really good, easy to use cleansers that are reasonable in price and give good results! The Packaging.... 100ml black and see through, plastic tube with flip top opening to the bottom of it. On the front in silver, white and black writing I'm told it is L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise De-Maq Expert Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-Up Remover 'For waterproof & long-lasting cosmetics'. I'm told it is a professional formula and then I'm told it is 'Our most concentrated formula in make-up removing ingredients' and that it's satin touch and for the face, eyes & lips and that it is skin tolerant and dermatologically tested as well. On the back of the tube I'm told a bit about the product and how to use it, ingredients...

Review of L'Oreal De-Maq Expert

Expert? i think not.

Advantages: cheaper than a solon dye.
Disadvantages: ammonia made eyes hurt, colour misleading, gloves rubbish.

...Well after consulting several reviews on Ciao and my bank balance, £10 home dye vs £93 salon+4 1/2 hours in foil i opted for the loreal couleur expert in chocolate macaroon. Now as the name would indicate 'chocolate' i was thinking rich brown and golden highlights. I was wrong. I purchased this from boots and chose the colour using the loreal site which cliams to give personalised colour based upon the criteria you cite, such as is your hair wavy, long, coloured previously etc, So, saturday came and i was quite excited about a new look. I opended the huge box to find two layers, First being the base dye, second the highlighting kit. Point one: whoever said the gloves are 'professional' is lying. i work in a lab and wear gloves all day, i know a good glove, these were pants my hand went through them immediatly, so i wore...

L'Oreal Couleur Experte? DO NOT GO THERE!!!!

Advantages: None!
Disadvantages: Smells AWFUL, Nothing like the colour advertised, dries your hair out!

...Oh my where do I start? My natural colour is a very light brown colour with natural blonde tones, 3 most recent colours it has had were twice auburn and then blonde (in attempt to get rid of the red tones in my hair). I then bought L'Oreal coleur 'exprete', absolutely daft name, as there is nothing expert about this colour that's for sure. Yesterday I did a streak test, I cut a full length streak right from the root and applied the colourant, once I had left it the time stated I washed the streak and had a look, I was in shock as nothing had actually happened, apart from the roots getting lighter! So I decided to give it another go, convinced something miraculous must start to happen sooner or later, I left it another hour! When I finally rinsed out the streak test and look at it the roots looked lighter and the main hair...

Boots "expert" hair lightener? SKIN lightener, more like.

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Everything else!!

..., and came across the Boots Expert Hair Lightening Cream. I figured it'd do the same thing, after all it was just hair bleach at the end of the day...right? And it was cheaper, seemed I couldn't go wrong here. So I bought it. -What happened next- The box contains two tubes; Accellerator cream and Bleach Cream. There's also a small 'tray' for mixing and a spatula to apply it with. First of all, no sooner had I taken the tubes out of the box, I found my fingers to be quite oily and realised it was leaking through the lid. Great start. I unscrewed the lid and before I could squeeze some into the tiny tray, it was already spewing out. This was with both tubes. Quite annoying considering you're supposed to have an equal amount of bleach and accellerator in the tray, not to mention waste of money. Anyway, I mixed it up and first applied it to my belly...

What to expect from Couleur experte!

Advantages: Easier than Highlighting
Disadvantages: Bit time consuming

...I have been every colour I dare,and when I was shopping in Boots,Looking for a change.I came across this new product from l'oreal Couleur Experte! The thing that made this product stand out to me on the shelf,was the bright RED box and the fact its larger than other hair colour boxes,by nearly half. So here I am looking at the box and its not quite shouting at me,Whats different!!!! So on closer inspection,I noticed the words Multi-tonal colour system.... and on even closer inspection(reading the back and sides) i realised it was a Highlighting kit(well sort of) The other thing that Caught my attention was the Price.. £12.99,but thankfully I managed to catch it whilst it was on offer £9.99 Expensive in my reckoning. But something shouting in my little brain, Go on your WORTH IT!!! So after reading what it was all about I...

Wanna see my expert eyes?

Advantages: stays on longer than other brands,not too expensive
Disadvantages: slight smudge and not as good when it isn't sharp

...Yes ladies and gentlemen I have a confession. I cannot live without my make up. But in particular, I can't live without eyeliner! Whenever I don't wear it I feel naked and my eyes look funny. I just love the way the eyeliner makes my eyes look. However, finding one that lasts more than five minutes on has proven to be a hard quest! I've tried at least five different ones that have all proven to be quite rubbish in the staying power stakes but thankfully I struck gold when my fiance treated me to the 'Expert Eye Kohl Pencil'. *** A Little Info *** The Expert Eye range is created by Maybelline and has been around for a little while now. The Expert Eyes Kohl Pencil comes in three different shades which are blue, black and brown. Designed not smudge or smear and to last for hours, this pencil is every eye liner lover's dream. *** My...
