L'oreal Elvive Damage Care Serum Review

 

Hi Girlies, Happy Friday!!

I’ve always had long hair (apart from an awful period at University when I decided to cut it all off and literally shave one side of it – very bad look for me!) so I’ve always tried to keep it looking in good condition and shiny. Since dying it red I’ve of course noticed that it’s vital I keep it extra nourished to avoid that awful straw like look and feel.  After running out of an old serum in capsule form that I’d had for years I went in search of a new serum to match it.

There were too many to mention in Boots so I stuck to a brand I know well: L'oreals Elvive Damage Care Serum. I really notice the benefits of a serum and will always massage it into the tips of my hair after a shower and before blow drying. I’ve consistently used serum for over two years now and feel it is the reason why I get complemented about the lack of split ends I have.

I’ve been using L’oreals serum for over a month and I feel it is doing just as good a job as any other serum and would recommend it. The bottle is fairly small, made of glass and clear. I like the fact that it’s clear as you can easily tell how much you are using, sad I know but I like to be prepared and fully restocked for when I run out! The pump action of the bottle isn’t the best and I often have to pump 5 or 6 times before any serum comes out each time I go to use it. However, I would say this is the only down side. It has a subtle sweet fragrance which isn't too overpowering and does leave your hair smelling lovely. 

I'm not too sure I buy into the 'Ceramide-Cement Technology' but whatever L'oreal's oily serum is doing to my hair I have to say I like it :)

Witch Stick Review

I've never been a great believer in spot cures, It's ashame though as I wish they worked wonders! With the lack of sun, I think my skin is feeling sorry for itself and I'm in need of a good spot cure indeed. I'd previously tried the Witch Blemish Control and Spot Prevention Stick.

The instructions read to dab on as much as needed when a spot starts to appear. It says that the Stick helps break down excess oils and fights the bacteria that cause spots. The stick itself is very much like a large lip or blusher stick but in a blue colour. To get more of the stick you push up underneath and pop a bit more out of the top.

I felt that the stick did help clean my face of bacteria. I felt this because it left the skin it was dabbed onto tight and dry which perhaps isn't the best feeling. I didn't notice any fantastic results unfortunately and, like most other spot prevention products, it just helped make me feel a bit better as I was doing something about my blemishes. The other annoying thing was that the stick would stick to the top of the lid as you can see in the photo above. Too Annoying!!

Sadly just another blemish product that promises the world and delivers very little :( Does anyone have a product they swear by? I'd love to try it!

Love LC
