Let me be honest - I was a very cynical, oil ridden girl when I received this invite. But hey, who am I to turn down the chance to trial a range that claims to keep oil at bay for days?!
Each product was nicely packaged in mermaid blue - a lovely addition to the bathroom.
Clay Mask - surprisingly easy to apply and it didn't 'set' too much, I was convinced I'd be trying to wash out clay and flakey bits for ages but it rinsed easily.
Shampoo -lathers well - you really only need a tiny amount of this (10c piece tops). It smells so fresh and leaves your hair feeling, well, normal if that makes sense? There's none of that obvious straw feeling some shampoos leabe.
Conditoner - ahhhhh sooooo luxe. It's a great consistency, not too thick, but not watery enough that it just falls from your hair. Same fresh smell as the mask and shampoo. It leaves your ends super soft, you can feel it immediately!
Dry shampoo - really nice product, you have to get the distance right though - too close and you'll be left a powdery mess! You also need to leave it a couple of minutes before massaging through. Would it replace my usual Batiste? YES!
All up, as a range, I'm really impressed with these products. I managed to get 3 days between washes the first time I used it, and FIVE days from second time, which to me is pretty telling. Going from washing my hair daily, to oil free for almost five days? YES PLEASE!
I have been struggling with oily hair for longer than I care to remember, so I was excited to try a new system. The packaging looks great, its a lovely colour, and the instructions are clear and easy to read. I'm not overly keen on the smell of the products. Its not unpleasant, just not to my personal taste. Using the mask before the shampoo and conditioner definitely extended the time of my haircare routine, and as a busy mum its not something I would find the time to do overly often. Its great for a bit of self-pampering though, as it kind of feels like your having some salon treatment at home. After using the system, my hair felt very light and soft. Much nicer than it usually is after washing. The feeling lasted for about 3 days before starting to get a little oily, which is slightly longer than what is normal for me. Once it started showing the oil I tried the dry shampoo, but it didn't help very much. Overall I quite like this range of products. The mask is time consuming, so I wouldn't use it often, but the shampoo and conditioner are wonderful. I don't think I would use the dry shampoo again, however.
Tips: If you want to use the whole system, make sure you're not in a rush. Its pretty time consuming.
