Review || Vidal Sassoon Illuminating Restore/Clean Hair Products

Hiya!

As you guys read here about my recent trip to Vidal Sassoon for a haircut, I will finally share with you my honest opinion of the experience and their products! (Not that any of my opinions are biased, but I was really shocked with how these products worked).

Here you can see the round bottle which is the shampoo and the one next to it is a deep treatment 

conditioner - I didn't buy the normal conditioner as I thought I would benefit from this one more. 

Scent:

Very pleasant as it smells fresh and isn't irritating to the nose and scalp. I must say that it doesn't smell as good as I thought I would - I expected it to be more fruity or just sweeter in general just to make m hair smell amazing after it's been washed, however it makes it smell like clean bedsheets, which is not a bad scent whatsoever but it is not up to my standards, especially for the price.

Texture:

Glides on very smoothly, feels almost like unset jelly. It feels like you need a lot of product in order to lather it into your hair which obviously isn't good at all. The shampoo feels like a coat of conditioner rather than leaving my hair feel clean, and the treatment doesn't nourish my hair that well.

Overall, I must say I am really disappointed with those products especially as the shampoo was around £18 and the treatment £24 each. I really expected it to do wonders to my hair as my stylist as Vidal Sassoon suggested. But then again, I was happy with the way my hair turned out for a day, and it's safe to say that I will never spend so much money on unreliable hair products or £80 for a haircut!! Total waste of money if you ask me.

Have you tried any of Vidal Sassoon's products? What were your opinions?

Lots of love,

First Impression of MAC's Paint Pots

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all doing well and are having a lovely February - and not moping over V-day! I have received some MAC gift cards for my birthday last month and is not had the chance to go in store and use them until recently. I wanted to buy a lipstick but I've recently bought Ariana Grande's collection so thought I'd take a little break and go for something different. The next thing on my list was a concealer but the store was quite busy so thought instead of asking a staff member for help and waiting around for a while I'd just pick out something else - so I headed towards the paint pots. 

I chose two shades, 'Bare Study' and 'Perky'.

Of course I had to light a Yankee Candle - not only does it make my room smell amazing, but it also makes me feel cosy and wintery!

As you can see in the picture above, both paint pots are shimmery and light shades, therefore they can be used as an eyeshadow base or worn on their own to freshen up your eyelids.

 

L-R swatches of Perky and Bare Study. Both shades are very pigmented and I'm really annoyed with myself for not trying any of the paint pots before! I already want to grow my collection as I've been using these every day since the purchase over a week ago.

Have you tried any of their paint pots? If so, which ones do you like best? Any recommendations? 

Lots of love,
