Hair Repair...Dont Go there!!!

Advantages: Nice and thick so no spillage.
Disadvantages: Doesn't do what it claims to.

...I received this product along with two others as a Christmas present, the person who bought them knows I am a fan of all L'Oreal products and thought that as I used L'Oreal Hydra repair which is part of the L'Oreal serie expert range I would like to try their absolut repair conditioner which like the shampoo I have also reviewed (Review to follow) states on the bottle is a 'repairing conditioner for very damaged hair'. Do you think she's trying to tell me something? The Container **************** This is a cream coloured bottle, base opening with a flip lid, it contains 150mls or 5fl oz. The L'Oreal logo is on the front along with the name absolut repair .It is made of hard plastic and is handy for the shower. The Conditioner ****************** The conditioner is a off white colour and is quite thick I put some into...

Review of L'Oreal Serie Expert Absolut Repair Conditioner

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara: adequate.

Advantages: Good wand; not too expensive.
Disadvantages: Nothing special.

...What is it, and what does it claim to do? A mascara from popular brand L'Oreal. The one that I purchased was black, but I have also tried the black/brown version. Of the two, I use the black version more often. Packaging Comes in a cardboard backed plastic pack, that is easily removed. Application and Removal No different from any other mascara, you remove the wand and apply it to the eyelashes, from root to tip. Most beauty experts recoommend that this is done in the "fan" motion. From the inside third, to the middle, to the outside third. It doesn't clump, and over the course of he day it doesn't fall off the lashes onto ones cheek, unlike some other mascars that I've used in the past. Personally, I haven't found that it lengthens my lashes all that much, or thickens them - but it does define them...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

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...

L'Oreals Wrinkle Grease

Advantages: Tube is a nice colour!
Disadvantages: Ineffective and greasy

...Here I go again on the never ending quest for eternal youth! I am one of those people who probably looks better now than I did in my teens as I am generally happy with my life and I think that shows on my face. However I have noticed the odd deeper line appearing on my forehead and around my eyes which I am not so keen on. About a year ago I thought that I probably needed a little more help than I was getting from my ordinary moisturiser so I looked for products that may help. I came across L'oreal Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen filler in Boots. I am not sure how much it cost then but it is now selling for £15.67. It claimed to be an intensive anti-wrinkle serum which would reduce the appearance of wrinkles---perfect! The product was supplied in the ususal blown plastic packaging that took a while to get into but eventually I...

My perfect Mascara-L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Advantages: The volume, Price,
Disadvantages: Non that i can think of

...After searching for what seemed like forever for a mascara that lived up to its hype i finally found one i love, this to me is the Holy Grail of Mascara. I purchased this Mascara from Boots for £8.99 which i thought was a resonable price and alot cheaper than my usually YSL mascara. I wanted a change from my usual mascara as i found that it was drying out quite quickly and paying £20.00 was starting to annoy me. So after buying alot of different Mascara's which didnt live up to their hype in my opinion, i decided to try this one. After getting home i was so excited to try this, i bought the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black which comes in a black tube not the usual Greyish one, as far as im aware they dont have a waterproof one in the Carbon Black but they do in the norman Telescopic range. On taking the wand out of the tube i was...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

The Telescopic L'Oreal Mascara

Advantages: long, defined, spacious lashes
Disadvantages: tad expensive,

...The colour of the L?Oreal Paris Telescopic mascara is black, it is not waterproof, and the mascara does not smell at all. The wand of the mascara is like a comb with four lines of rubbery spikes, it?s not as leathful as it sounds. I t creates long defined lashes like I?ve never had before, it goes on really easy and doesn?t clump, the comb like wand separates the eyelashes as you brush through the lashes. You get 8ml of black mascara and I found that it has lasted me forever but that?s because the wand applies what is needed to the eyelashes and it does that by the comb, brushing off what isn?t needed. The cost of the mascara can be around £7.99 to £9.99 depending on where you go, you can get it from most stores such as boots, superdrugs etc... The mascara pot is gold and starts off small and the gets slightly bigger to...

L`Oreal Have The Balance Right

Advantages: A good enriching lipstick
Disadvantages: None

...Only last week when I walked into Boots the chemist I noticed that the L`Oreal stand had been put in another corner of the store. There was the usual line up of cosmetics including Rimmel, Barry M, Maybelline, Max Factor and a couple of less well known names in the world of cosmetics and L`Oreal stood alone. I supposed it was one of the one hundred and one marketing tactics that stores are so keen on applying. L`Oreal are well established and they produce some great cosmetics and hair colours, I doubt if there are many females that have not bought one of the L`Oreal products at one time or another. L`Oreal have put the Color Riche lipstick into a traditional twist mechanism case which has quite a sophisticated appearance. I would like to say that I think the silvery cases make a great change from the normal run of the mill...

Review of L'Oreal Colour Riche

L'Oreal for me!

Advantages: natural looking tan, moisterising
Disadvantages: takes a while to dry

...I tried L'Oreal Nutrisummer for the first time last summer after realising I just couldn't face getting my pastey pins out in the sun! I brought it from Boots for £7.92. Prices vary depending on where you shop but is usually between £6 - £7. A 'tone up' bottle of Nutrisummer is also available - it is the same as Nutrisummer but contains caffeine which is meant to tone the skin and reduce the apperance of cellulite. A tone up botte typically costs between £7 - £8. It comes in different shades - one for fair skin and one for darker skin. It comes in an attractive looking bottle, which is easy to read and understand. The lid is at the bottom so you don't have to spend time shaking it out when you get to the end. The first time I used it, I applied it with my bare hands and it took about 10-15 minutes to cover my whole body...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

l'oreal paris recital preference ultra-lightening natural brown

Advantages: not too damaging, lots of conditioner
Disadvantages: orange hair, strong smell eyes streaming, doesnt work.

...probably still be there until i have a few more sessions of highlights. i would not reccomend this to my worst enemy. its toxic. i dont know what they put in the stuff but its not good. the cost it was to put it right and the damage to my hair from the corrective proceedure has put my off ever using a box dye again. its just not worth the risk. it said on the box there would be no orange effect, someone at loreal is having a laugh anyway. a couple of months later, i thought id update you on the hair situation ! i decided i didnt like my lighter hair and wanted to dye it dark brown again ( like u do ) . after the l'oreal disaster there was no way i was going to use a box colour again, so i decided to go to my local beauty supply store and buy a colour there, the exact same one my hairdresser uses, except id be saving £20 by doing it myself...
