L'Oreal Couleur Experte - I'd use it again!

Advantages: First part was easy to do with good results
Disadvantages: Not easy to do decent streaks on your own

...I'm getting on a bit now & my hair would no doubt be grey if I left it alone (perish the thought!!) I started colouring it in the 60's when I was a teenage mod. Over the years, I've used allsorts - usually things I find on special offer. I had a short spell when I could afford to go to the hairdressers and paid anything up to £70 for colours. Now I'm on the pension however, times are tight so I was really pleased when yesterday, I found a box of Couleur Experte in a box at an auction sale. There was also a box of Garnier multi-lights and I got both for £1 - Well I've just used the Couleur Experte (Rum Coffee) and I'm SO pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I don't look like the girl on the box and I wish I'd left the highlight cream on longer (I chickened out after reading all your revues) I'd certainly save up for another kit...

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...

Loreal Sebo, Please Control my hair shampoo!!

...Loreal Professional Sebo Control Shampoo The Loreal Sebo Control Shampoo is from the serie expert range of hair products, this includes shampoos, conditioners, serums and leave-in conditioners. This particular shampoo is a purifying shampoo for oily hair.

L'Oreal De-Maq Expert Elixir Concentrate - make up removing gel

Advantages: Removes waterproof make - up, has a nice smell, efficient - will last for several months
Disadvantages: Complicated to use, irritates eyes and blurrs vision, expensive

...I am posting this review for the second time, first one was in an incorrect category and I asked Ciao to delete it I recently bought L?Oreal De-maq Expert Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-Up Remover. It is designed with professional technology to remove waterproof and long-lasting cosmetics from eyes and skin. Before, I had tried another product to remove my new waterproof mascara but it didn?t work so I decided I would opt for something more effective this time. To be honest I was tempted by the price of this product, which was quite expensive at £5.49 in Boots (I though expensive product must work well), and claims on the tube that it contained a ?professional? and ?most concentrated? formula. I bought it. Packaging: The tube looks professional, has very good description and instructions on how to use the product...

L'OREAL KIDS SWIM & SPORT SHAMPOO

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...L'OREAL KIDS SWIM & SPORT SUNNY ORANGE SHAMPOO. This is a marvellous shampoo with its funky style bottle and so trendy with bright orange top and the remainder blue with a touch of green, so smart and eye-catching. It certainly has the appeal to any youngster. The bottle is also easy to hold and soft and so ideal even for small hands. I remember that I used to use this product for my own children and I recall then that I was very satisfied then and I am sure that they would have improved the shampoo since then and increased the range of shampoos and fragrances. To use just apply a small amount to ones hand and work up a lather it is so gentle to feel and smells so clean and fresh and yes one can smell a touch of oranges too. This is so ideal for kids which are on the go they will find it is so gentle and leaves the hair smelling...

Review of L'Oreal Swim and Sport Sunny Orange Shampoo

An average shampoo from L'Oreal

Advantages: smells nice, leaves hair soft
Disadvantages: doesn't live up to Anti-Breakage claims

...I subject my hair to all sorts of things that are bad for it, such of excessive use of heated appliances and styling products, and it is looking all the worse for it. When it comes to shampoo I am not completely bothered which brand I use, and usually just buy whichever one is on special offer. This was the case when I bought L'Oreal Elvive Anti-breakage shampoo. ~About the Shampoo~ This shampoo claims to help repair the hair on the inside and nourish on the outside. There is a lot of spiel and scientific stuff on the back of the bottle, backed up with diagrams. It basically claims that because it contains special ingredients - Omega 6 and Ceramide R, that after using it, you will have up to 95% less breakage from brushing. It is specifically for dry, damaged or brittle hair. I wouldn't necessarily say that my hair is dry, but it...

Review of L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Repair Shampoo Anti-Breakage

L'Oreal Nutri Gloss shampoo

Advantages: Soft, Smooth hair
Disadvantages: Didn't make my hair shine

...Since I have quite long hair, I always find it hard to find a product which makes me hair frizz free, smooth and shiny. I saw this product advertise on the tv and I thought it looked and sounded good so decided to give it a try. When I went into boots, they had this product on offer on 3 for 2, so I decided to get the shampoo, conditioner and the intensive hair masque. The shampoo is roughly £1.99 a bottle, the same as the conditioner and the intensive masque is priced higher and about £2.99. It has a bright, eye-catching bright coloured bottle with an easy flip lid for easy dispensing. It has a pleasant frangrance and is a pearl pink coloured liquid. As soon as I washed the shampoo out of my hair I noticed my hair was already feeling soft and felt really clean. I followed the conditioner treatment and dried my hair as normal...

Review of L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Shampoo

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...

L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Tan Moisturizer - ORANGE!

Advantages: Erm...ZERO!
Disadvantages: It turns your face orange, you stink and you get weird looks from everyone

...Well I've just got back from my holiday with a nice brown tan...I always feel better with a tan. So to try and keep it a bit longer and stop my face from peeling I thought I'd try this product....It's L'Oreal so I thought it would be a really good product. I bought it in the airport on my way back home. I've used it for 3 days now...and I've got an orange face. It stinks...and I think people stood next to me in work (the ladies, especially) recognize the smell as being a fake tanning product....and I'm getting weird looks from everybody...it's embarrassing! It hasn't gone streaky..just an all over orange glow. I tried scrubbing my face last night to at least get rid of the smell...but I can still smell it now as I'm typing this review. It does, however, do a good job of moisturizing your skin...my real tan isn't peeling at all...

Review of L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Tanning Moisturiser

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...
