L'Oreal Paris Botanicals Safflower Rich Infusion Regime Review

Firstly for each item I LOVE the packaging! The colours are great and really draw your attention to them (I checked them out at the local Countdown) – they do look great on the shelf and look fairly expensive. Love the pump for the shampoo too makes it easier to use in the shower.

Being natural is one of the most important things to me in hair care for me. So I opened the shampoo bottle up (took the pump wand out) and had a sniff OMG the smell is amayyyyyzing!!! It is a real botanical smell as they describe – it actually smells herby, almost food like?? Why wouldn’t this be amazing on your hair?!

To me they seemed pricey for a supermarket range ($17.99 each), or maybe I'm just a tight you-know-what hehe, although they are all different sizes. However I tended to use more shampoo than conditioner to get a good lather up (about 4 pumps) and hardly any of the softening cream was required.

I used all 3 products and really liked them all - the softening cream especially was lovely on my hair, I used a little in wet hair before I blow-dried and it really did soften it, not to mention made it smell great!

All in all, I think a good product for the price and using all 3 together definitely a good idea, in saying that I would buy them separately also as I very rarely have shampoo and conditioner from the same brand.

With my very long, slightly dry and rebellious hair I was excited to be chosen to test out the new range from L'Oreal Paris Botanical range. I'm always very picky what I use with my hair, and these were on my to-try list!

I'm really a fan of more natural focused ingredients, the lack of parabens and silicons definitely was a great point for me.

The packaging is really funky, I really like the colour way- it's natural looking colours and on trend design.

To be honest I'm normally a salon- preferred hair care person, but these hair products were a great alternative.

They were very moisturizing to my dry hair and left it silky smooth. It was also gentle on my scalp, smelt nice and really were great products that you can purchase from the supermarket.

Overall, I really liked this range and felt the shampoo, conditioner and balm were all very good products.

This stuff is great, I happily trialled the shampoo, conditioner and softening cream from this range and I can tell you it was a very pleasant experience.

Let's start with the packaging. Gorgeous autumn colours, so nice in fact I left it out rather then hiding the bottles away which I normally would do. The thought in design is evident and they look great. The shampoo comes complete with a pump which definitely gives it a more luxe feel.

Secondly the smell is devine! To smell from the bottle it smells warm and exotic but once applied to your hair it smells fresh and pepperminty. Contradictory I know, but heaven scent.

The shampoo lathers just the right amount and you don't need a lot of product, after application my hair felt clean and quite nourished, not dry and squeaky like it does with other shampoos. The conditioner is ultra thick and creamy, I had to use a hefty amount to cover my hair but that's normal for me, the product review would have gotten a 5 out of 5 from me had there been a little more slip to the conditioner and left a slightly more silky feel to my hair.

The softening cream I'd describe as an added treat, that something special over and above. I personally applied it to my wet conditioned hair and left it on a while before near rinsing it out. The intention though is to leave it in so be sure not to overdo it which could weigh your hair down.

If you want that salon experience in the comfort of your own home, give these products a try, they really are good!

I was lucky enough to be sent this range by BR to trial. I'm usually more of a salon product girl so I was curious to see how this would go.

The shampoo I liked, as it cleansed my hair without stripping the natural oils. The pump bottle was easy to use and it looks purty in my shower!

The conditioner also seemed to boost the moisture well, leaving my hair feeling smooth and silky. The packaging is a standard, sensible upside down tube.

The softening ointment I'm more indecisive about. The first time I followed the instructions and ended up looking like a grease ball. The second time I used less and my hair felt softer but didn't look noticeably smoother.

All up, I would repurchase the shampoo and conditioner, as they did a good job while being totally affordable, but I wasn't impressed enough with the ointment to repurchase.

Great range ,hairs so smooth and silky after using these. Good smell Great result. And I got at a great price. $5 each!!! From chemist warehouse.

Overall, I really liked this range and I have found my hair to be much smoother and softer since I started using these products. The packaging was cohesive and well designed, it is easy to identify that they are all from the same range. I liked the scents of all these products, although I thought it was slightly odd that (to me) the shampoo smelt different to the conditioner and ointment, but I liked all the smells anyway so this didn’t particularly bother me. All the products had a nice texture and were easy to use and apply to my hair. I probably wouldn’t repurchase this whole range, at this stage I would most likely only repurchase the conditioner, even though I liked the whole range. I am slightly disappointed that I didn’t like these more, as I had hoped I would love them all. However, I do really like the fact that these are all colourant, paraben and silicone free, which is definitely a huge positive for me!

Let me cap this review by saying my hair is the awful mixture of SUPER fine and really dry.

I figured a product that claims not to weigh hair down and provide moister would be the one for me. *insert image of shampoo on a white horse* Alas this range is just a tad too heavy for my fine hair!

They are lovely products in every sense and i'd recommend them to friends who have thicker hair that need that extra boost but after trialing these it's sadly a no from my department. I'll finish up the bottles (with the help from MR who has lush Italian hair).

Big points on no sulphates however as I refuse to use any hair care that has them. Bigger points on how lush they smell.

I have used the shampoo from this range and I really like that it doesn't have SLS so it doesn't strip my hair. My hair always feels nice and soft and clean but not dry or brittle.

Overall review of everything I wouldn't purchase this pack as a whole.

Yes my hair is softer and doesn't tangle but for the price of each I'd rather a cheaper brand that has the same effect if not better.

The conditioner I would purchase again as I absolutely love it! Awesome results for my very dry winter hair.

The shampoo and conditioning ointment I wouldn't use again as I had to use alot of product to get a result from shampooing and the ointment I used more as a styling product.

The packaging I love and the scent is refreshing and lasts a couple of days in your hair, which I find nice to wake upto or catching throughout the day.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trust this range including the shampoo, conditioner and ointment. I have dry hair, especially on the ends which is also very thick and long. I also often get a dry scalp and get dandruff. I was hoping for this range to add some moisture to my hair.

I have found this range to be very hit and miss. The shampoo and ointment were just ok and I didn't find them to be effective at all. The shampoo isn't anything special and is pretty similar to a normal shampoo. The ointment did add moisture to my hair but not as much as I expectedHowever I did like the conditioner and found that this did soften my hair and add moisture to my dry ends.

All the products have quite a strong coconut scent. This range is affordable and good for someone on a budget. He packaging is very slick for a supermarket brand.

Overall the products are mixed in the range. I would recommend using the conditioner but as I have only been using these products for one week I am going to continue to use them as I think it will improve the condition of my hair over time.
