A-England Her Rose Adagio

Hi everyone! Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since my last blog post, I feel terrible I haven't shared polishes with you in so long! I have been up to various things - graduated uni, spent 2 months overseas and have just started a new job which I am so excited about as it means more money for polish! :D 

I thought I'd start off my first post in a while with one of, if not my favourite polish brands, A England. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Adina and Tristam not once but twice whilst I was in London in June/July and it was wonderful! I was so starstruck, Adina has the most beautiful and creative mind and to be able to finally meet the brains behind the polish was just outstanding! I hadn't painted my nails for a while so the first one I picked up was a beauty I had purchased before I went away and never worn, Her Rose Adagio. 


Her Rose Adagio is part of A England's "Ballerina" collection and is described on their website as "Faded roses in a silver prismatic base, as romantic as it is en pointe". This is a beautifully subtle polish, with scattered holographic particles that make it come alive.


Adina never fails to disappoint, with the formula and colour of Her Rose Adagio being simply perfection. I used two coats plus a top coat for this manicure and I actually applied this a day ago so it hasn't budged at all which I am quite surprised about considering what I have put my nails through today at work! 


Her Rose Adagio is such an elegant colour, I can't believe I didn't apply it sooner!

Sorry this is just a quick post but I wanted to upload something and get back into the swing of blogging, I have missed it! I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and New Year and may 2015 bring us hundreds of new polishes to try!!! I know as soon as my next pay goes in I will be making another A England purchase! Have you tried Her Rose Adagio? What is your favourite A England shade?

a-england Princess Sabra Swatches and Review

Hi everyone! So sorry I haven't blogged in so long! I have really missed it and all of you so I couldn't wait any longer to do a new post! 

Today I have for you another incredible a-england polish. Adina is the brains behind this brand and she is the most wonderful person! Her creations are just sublime and I can't get enough of them! I have just put in an order for some more polishes today in fact! :D Princess Sabra (or Tristam eyes - Tristam is Adina's gorgeous cat) is part of The Legends Collection and is a beautiful gold/olive toned holographic shade that sparkles in all lights.


Princess Sabra. Look at that colour! The rainbow holo is just stunning. I used two perfect coats for these swatches and added a coat of Essie's Good to Go. If you polish carefully enough then you could probably get away with one coat!


I have been growing my nails (yay!) recently and am so happy they're getting longer! I love the way this polish changes from gold to olive in different lights. Application was flawless, as with all a-england polishes I have used! If you have tried any of Adina's polishes you will know what I am talking about!


So much holo! I was eating breakfast this morning and caught myself looking at my nails :P I can't believe it has taken me so long to wear this again!


All photos taken inside with a flash. The rainbow on my nails is just incredible!


I took a few photos outside but it is miserable, rainy weather here so decided not to show you them haha 


This was taken at our back door with a flash so there was a touch more natural light. You can see the colour shift and rainbow holo effect! Sparkles! This polish reminds me of Liquid Luck (Felix Felicis) from the Harry Potter movies :P 

Princess Sabra is a glorious nail polish and as always, I recommend all of Adina's creations. If you haven't tried them already then you need to! A-England only ships in the UK however still have a look at their website as Adina has a list of sites that will ship internationally! We can all have a dose of a-england goodness! 

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a great day! Look forward to reading your comments :)

Ciate - Kiss Chase

Hello everyone! 

I have another Ciate polish to show you today, I am seriously obsessed with this brand! Kiss Chase was a mini polish I received in the Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar and it is a stunning bright pink colour that applies beautifully. 


Look! I am not normally a pink polish person however this has definitely changed my mind on that! This is 2 coats of Kiss Chase with a coat of Ciate's Speed Coat Top Coat. 


These mini bottles are such a great size! Really gives you a chance to test the polish before buying one of the normal sized paint pots! I have to say, there are 3 colours that I definitely have my eye on! A trip to the cosmetics shop that stock Ciate is in order I think!


So nice and bright! The formula of all the Ciate polishes I have tried so far has been just perfect. 2 even coats and you get a gorgeous bubblegum pink colour! 



Outdoor shot. Yes, I went outside in 43 degree heat just to take a photo of my nails for you haha. The colour of the bottle in this photo is probably a more accurate representation of the actual polish. It looks more orange in this lighting but its definitely pink! I loved the top coat, the shine it gives is amazing! 

I am so excited I have discovered Ciate polishes, they are all I am wearing on my nails at the moment! Have you tried any Ciate Paint Pots? 

Enjoy the weekend everyone! Em x

Ciate "Pillow Fight" and Caviar Manicure!

Morning all! How are you? I have had a great weekend, I finally tried out the Ciate Caviar Manicure! I had been dying to do this and when I got some caviar beads in my Ciate Mini Mani Month Calendar, I couldn't resist! I only did an accent nail, just to get the feel of it but wow! I love it! For my other nails I used Pillow Fight. A gorgeous grey toned polish with purple undertones, it is amazing! 


This is Ciate "Pillow Fight" with Caviar beads in "Frost Yourself" I am so pleased with this mani! Pillow Fight was an absolute dream to apply, this is two coats with a top coat. There was some slight balding on my pinky finger just towards the cuticle but that could be fixed with technique I think. The mini bottles are so handy, the brushes are a great size to cover the nail in 3 easy strokes and the formula is fantastic! 


You can see that Pillow Fight is definitely not just a grey polish! When I first saw it I thought hmm not something I would usually wear...its grey...but once I put it on, I was more than happy with it! I don't have anything like it in my growing collection so I will definitely be reaching for it a lot more in the future! 


The caviar beads from Ciate were so easy to apply! All you do is paint your nails like normal but when you apply the second/third coat of polish you sprinkle the caviar beads onto the wet polish, push them down and let it dry! Simple! It leaves such an amazing effect! I didn't put a top coat over them as it can cause the beads to discolour which I didn't want! The Frost Yourself caviar beads are Christmassy but I think they can be used all year round! There is silver, dark blue, light blue and some clear beads that have a slight pink tinge to them in this creation! 


I took this photo this morning, 3 days after applying the polish and beads. As you can see with the polish I have slight tip wear but nothing too serious! The caviar beads have lasted longer than I expected too! I have had showers, done dishes and washed my hands multiple times and there are still some beads left! 

I am ecstatic with the results of my first caviar manicure! Not only is Pillow Fight just a stunning colour with incredible application but the caviar beads add an amazing touch to the manicure! I will definitely be trying another caviar mani in the future, I may even do one with all my nails covered, just for you guys! :) 

Have you tried any Ciate polishes before? Or attempted a Caviar manicure? Let me know!

Have a wonderful day guys, Em x

Zoya "Adina" Swatches and Review

Hi all! A new post for you today. I met a girl on a nail group on Facebook who was looking to do a swap with someone so of course I volunteered! She sent me a range of polishes that are HTF here and the one I am showing you today is one I was extremely excited about! Zoya Adina is a gorgeous duo chrome purple that shifts to green and gold and so many colours in different lights! It was so hard to capture on camera but I did my best! Onto the swatches!


I am incredibly impressed with the colour of this polish. Adina is part of the Zoya Spring 2010 Collection and it is just amazing. You can see the different colours in this polish. Green and purple are the main ones and there is a slight shimmer to it. 


Look at this colour! I can safely say I do not have a polish like this in my collection, it is just awesome! The formula was great, however, the brush was tiny! I have small nails and like small brushes but this was ridiculous! I found it hard to spread the polish evenly and there are some tiny brush strokes visible but nothing too bad. 


I tried to get a bottle shot to show you the shift in colours and this works quite well. Just incredible! You can really see the green and even gold in this photo. 


This was 2 coats of Adina with no top coat however if you did the first coat thick enough it was opaque in 1 coat! I can't stop looking at my nails, so glad I finally got my hands on a Zoya!

I was really happy with this polish, if the brush was a little bigger it would have been a 10/10 for me. Oh how keen I am to try more polishes from Zoya now!!!

Have you tried Adina? What do you think?

Ciate "Members Only" and "Locket"

Hi everyone! I hope you are all well and had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I am so excited to get back into blogging now I have officially finished uni and have my degree! 
I have a great post for you today! Many of you would have heard about the Ciate Mini Advent Calendar...if not, it is an advent calendar that contains mini bottles of nail polish! Every girls dream! You get 23 mini bottles, including a top and base coat and their famous caviar to complete your own caviar mani. There is also a full size bottle in there as a surprise! I had to treat myself to this calendar as I had heard of Ciate but never tried their polishes so what better way to do that than with a selection of their mini bottles! I had such a hard time deciding what to wear first so here is what I chose! 



This is Members Only with an accent nail of Locket. I was in the mood for a nude mani and this was perfect! I had to add the extra sparkle! Members Only is a gorgeous pale peach like colour with lots of hidden shimmer. This was so hard to capture in the photos but looking in bright light I could see pink shimmer in there! It is a perfect polish to apply, 2 coats and it was opaque and ready to go, dry time was extremely quick too! 



Locket is a polish with a light silver shimmer base packed with various sizes of hexagonal glitter. This was also 2 coats and it is perfectly opaque! I was so so impressed with the application of these polishes, went onto the nail like butter and was self levelling. After using these colours, it is safe to say that this is one of my new favourite nail polish brands! You can see the orange shimmer flakes on my pinky best in this photo!



Outdoor shot for you! Excuse the very short nails, had to cut them for work but they will grow! 

I am so happy I invested in one of the Ciate Advent Calendars (even if I bought it on the 23rd of December :P) The range of colours is just incredible and I can't wait to show you more of their delicious polishes! Ciate is a British nail polish brand, created by the wonderful Charlotte Knight. If you haven't already, you should have a look at their website

I hope you enjoyed this post. Have you tried any Ciate polishes? Did you buy their Advent Calendar?

Inglot O2M Breathable Nail Polish #636

Hi everyone! Wow, I am so sorry it has been a long time since my last blog post! I have been extremely busy with finishing uni and exams and all that jazz so haven't had the time but with a day off work today I thought it's about time I blogged again! 

Today I have for you another breathable nail polish by Inglot. This one is 636, a gorgeous purple shade packed with subtle gold shimmer, I can even see some red in there too! I love the bottle design of these polishes and they come in their own little box which is great too. This colour reminds me of a lighter version of Butter London's Pitter Patter which I absolutely love. The formula of this polish was quite good although I found it slightly more runny than most polishes I have used. I have two coats of polish on, no top coat to show you the full effect. 


Indoor shot with flash. You can see this is a nice deep purple but its not too dark. The shimmer in this is amazing, it really shows up well in the light. Excuse my non painted thumb haha :P 


I went outside to take a shot however it is cloudy today so not the best lighting. You can see how shiny it is though, this is without a top coat! 


Really like this colour, it didn't stain as much as I thought when I removed it either. I think this is a nice elegant colour and am very happy with it. I remember this one was in the 50% off bin and the girl at the Inglot stall said it was one of her favourites so I had to add it to my basket, glad I did too!

Sorry this is such a short post guys but I will get back into the swing of things and have more posts for you soon :) Hope you are all well and are looking forward to Christmas! I know I am!

One Direction and a Chat!

Hi everyone! So, I have been absent with the polish posts for a while but I will be back with them soon! 

I have had a busy past couple of weeks. I have been on uni holidays but of course still have so much work to do which sucks! I am working tomorrow so have naked nails and have just not felt like painting them. I hope I get this drive back soon so I can get back into swatching and taking polish photos! I can't wait until uni finishes and I can relax (sort of)! I now have One Direction to talk about, so if you are not a fan look away now :P 

A friend got tickets to their show Tuesday night here in Adelaide and I was so so happy! She is my chummy and I love her so much for doing it. She did not like One Direction before the concert but I can happily say she is now a 1D convert and is almost as obsessed as I am. Their show was absolutely brilliant. They were on time, utilised the stage so well and chatted with the crowd! They are so funny too! A lot of people just cringe when you mention 1D but I don't know why that is. They are the nicest guys and I am so proud to be a fan. I would have loved to have met them whilst they were here however they were staying an hour out of the city (sensibly to avoid the crazed fans :P) and I had work and other things on...NOOO! I will share with you a few photos from the night, we had fantastic seats and could see them so well!!! I was singing along the whole time of course and took 183 photos - I DO NOT remember taking that many! 





They came so close at one point it was so good!!! So now that my best friend is a huge fan like me, we were talking after the show and saying how we had to go and see them in London some day, it would be so cool etc etc.

Turns out, that may come a reality. There have been new dates added for their shows and I am patiently waiting for the tickets to come on sale so I can purchase them!!! Thats right everyone, I am going to the UK next year!!! I am so so so so excited about this! It has all seemed to fall into place so easily. If I can get these tickets then we are on the way. We are planning on doing a Contiki tour whilst over there to make the most of the time. The show we are (fingers crossed) attending is not until June so I have plenty of time to work and save as much money as possible. This will be made a lot easier thanks to my degree finally finishing at the end of the year!!! 

I could squeal and dance around the lounge room right now I am so happy. I may in fact do that! All you people out there in London, get ready! We are coming! We have friends over there too so I will be able to see them and have a wonderful catch up! 

Sorry for the sort of long gushing about 1D post :P I wanted to share this with you all and hopefully in the next 45 minutes I will know if we have secured seats to one of the 1D shows in London!!! It could not be better!!! I hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend :)

My new tattoo...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this with you. I got my third tattoo today! My brother was getting one on his arm finished and I had been thinking about getting a small bird for a while so I went with him to his session today and the girl said she could fit me in too! How happy I was!
 

This little bird has very special meaning to me and I was incredibly pleased with the job Kylie did. I took in a couple of photos for her as I liked a few different designs so she drew this up and incorporated it all in for me! I have cream on it in this photo hence why it is shiny haha. It took her about 20 minutes to complete and yes some parts hurt more than others but all in all it was not too bad! It is always worth it in the end! 


My brother took these photos, he likes to think of himself as a professional photographer :P It faces away from me and is the perfect size. It is about as large as a 10c piece. Whilst waiting in the shop, I spotted a model of a Ulysses Butterfly on the shelf and the colour was just stunning. I asked Kylie about it and she said she had actually matched that colour to another girls tattoo just before mine and she could absolutely do the same thing for me. She used two different blues and white. 


To finish, we had to do an outdoor shot. This shows where it is on my wrist and how it is facing. I just realised my naked nails make an appearance in this photo lol. I had glad wrap on it when it was finished, just to protect it whilst we drove home and that seems to have left a nice red mark on my arm, yay haha. 

Just a quick post but I had to share this with all of you. It is the smallest of my tattoos and definitely my favourite one. 

Have you got any tattoos? 

Enjoy the weekend everyone!!! :D Em x

Bella Belle Nail Couture "Prince George"

By now you may know that I LOVE anything to do with the Royal Family. Kate, William and now George are my favourite Royals ever. I was browsing Facebook one night and came across an Australian Indie brand by the name of Bella Belle. I ventured to their page and was hooked as soon as I saw the first swatch of one of their polishes. It was just after Prince George was born and I could not believe when I saw a polish that Vicky (creator and polish whiz) had created a baby blue polish called Prince George. I knew I had to have it. This is my first Bella Belle polish and I ordered another yesterday, I couldn't resist. Bella Belle is owned by Vicky and she is based in Melbourne, Australia. Her polishes are all devine, just take a look for yourselves! 


Prince George is a wonderful baby blue based polish with small blue and gold glitter flecks and larger gold hexagonal pieces. How incredible. I do like wearing blue polishes but I have never found one where I think WOW its beautiful! Until now. I took this shot outside and it is just fantastic, I have no words. The label is so elegant too!


Indoors with flash. Vicky is so creative, each and every polish she has for sale on her Etsy shop comes with a matching ring, it is so pretty! This was 2 coats of Prince George, no top coat and it applied like butter. The first coat was quite sheer but once I added a second, it was completely opaque. I didn't have much trouble with glitter distribution either. Some of the larger pieces did not want to come out of the bottle so more shaking is needed for that! Completely my fault, no way the polishes!


You can see in my bottle how all the glitter has settled, I am not a very good shaker lol. This is one of my all time favourite polishes. Yes, because it is called Prince George but also because of the colour. I am also not a huge glitter polish fan if you hadn't noticed but this one I love. An opaque base colour where you can still easily see the glitter. That's what I like! 

I hope you like these swatches of Prince George! I have discovered a beautiful brand and I HAD to share it with all of you. Vicky has this and more polishes available on her Etsy shop and they range in price from $8 - $11. They are also "5-free". At this stage, shipping is only available within Australia but hopefully once word about these gets out, Vicky can expand her business! 

If you don't have anything like this in your stash already (I certainly didn't!) then you really need it. Enjoy! I get excited every time I look at this polish :)

Sally Hansen "Mint Sorbet" & "Frutti Petutie"

I have had a much better polish day today! Yay! I am a member of many nail polish groups on Facebook and one girl from Australia was saying how Sally Hansen were doing a gift with purchase deal at Priceline. I love me a good gift with purchase and I could not resist one to do with nail polish so I went to the shops the next day! The deal was spend $20 on ANY products in the Sally Hansen range and get a free gift worth $53.30 or something near that amount. The freebies were fantastic, I will show you them in another post but today I will show you the polishes I bought to make it to $20. I decided on Frutti Petutie from the Salon Manicure range ($15.95) and Mint Sorbet from the Xtreme Wear range ($6.95). These colours are so bright and happy, I was very pleased with my choices. To showcase them both, I went with Frutti Petutie as an accent nail. Both colours were 2 coats, no top coat.


Slight painting mishap on a few fingers :P Mint Sorbet and Frutti Petutie. Both beautiful colours. I really like the mint colour, I didn't find it too similar to Essie Mint Candy Apple which was nice! For $7 I think this is a great colour to add to any collection, the name is yummy too! 


It was hard to capture the real colour of Frutti Petutie. It is much more red in these photos but in real life it is so hard to describe, sort of a dark hot pink I guess. Application of both colours was wonderful, Mint Sorbet applied slightly streaky on the first coat but when I looked back and it had dried, it was completely evened out. 


Outdoor shot. It is overcast today and very warm! You can get a better look at the real colour of Frutti Petutie here. I think this looks great outside :)

Very impressed with my Sally Hansen purchases! I will show you the colour I got in the free gift soon - there was a Salon Manicure colour, a nail board, base and top coat :) The Xtreme Wear range is probably my favourite out of Sally Hansen's polishes. The brush is great and they always last forever on my nails! Have you tried any of these colours or ranges? 

More colours to come soon! I have just finished a swap with a girl in the US and am waiting on my package, there are some beauties coming to me that's for sure! So excited!

Rimmel Salon Pro "Disco Fever"

I just can't seem to get enough of the new line of Salon Pro nail polish by Rimmel. I have gone from never trying one of their polishes to now having 3. The colours, formula and end result are just awesome (on a couple of them!) So, after wearing Jazz Funk - a pinky rose colour - first, I decided to go for purple this time.  Disco Fever is one colour I was ummming and ahhhhing about before I thought "why not" and put it into my shopping basket and am half and half about this one...It is a purple colour (not too dark but not too sheer) with a hint of shimmer! Love me some shimmer! The formula however is a different story. 


Left to right: Jazz Funk, Hip Hop and Disco Fever

Above are the 3 Salon Pro polishes I have...so far. I love the design of the lid, each one has the Rimmel crown indented in the top. I also love how they have the name clearly printed on the front of the bottle. It may not be in huge font but it is large enough to read and means you don't have to look at the underside of each bottle you pick up. Taking this photo slightly annoyed me as the lids didn't line up and all face the right way lol but hey, movin' on! I have already shown you Jazz Funk so onto the second polish I decided to try - Disco Fever! 

Disco Fever is a bright purple with some hidden shimmer in it. The shimmer is not as obvious on the nail as it is in the bottle which is a pity. The formula is definitely not my favourite. It is quite sheer and I had major problems with patchiness. I am so unhappy with these pictures, my nails are so short and excuse the shocking painting on my middle finger :(



Ugh not happy. I did 3 coats on my middle finger and 2 on all the other fingers. You can see the patchiness on my ring finger, this polish just didn't work out for me. I got it on my cuticles on my middle finger and that was it. It did not want to budge. Ew. 



You can see the shimmer a lot more in this picture, that is what I liked about this polish in the first place! 



Outdoor shot. On the plus side, this dried so shiny it was incredible! You can see the reflection of the trees on my nails! How awesome!

Ok so quite an unsuccessful polish I have here. The colour is nice but the formula did not want to work for me. I was surprised as Jazz Funk which I had reviewed first was just fantastic and is a colour I absolutely adore. I am hoping Hip Hop is nicer to me, fingers crossed. Sorry Rimmel but this polish is going in my swap/give away pile, not impressed.

Have you tried this colour and had a totally different result?

Enjoy the day! Hopefully my next polish swatching is much much more successful for you! Em x

Review: Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream

The lovely Estee, whose blog and YouTube channels I absolutely ADORE, has a lot to answer for when it comes to my poor bank account. Her product reviews on her blog are just fantastic and I always find myself having to buy whatever she showcases. The Antipodes skincare range was no exception. I use KORA Organics skincare however the day/night cream is quite expensive and using it twice a day, I seemed to go through it quicker than I would have liked, so I decided to find a different night moisturiser for a cheaper price and after browsing Estee's blog, I just had to try this one. I can save my KORA product and enjoy a new one! Antipodes is a New Zealand based company and I am amazed I hadn't discovered their products sooner! 




Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream - $49.00
This is one of the best night creams I have tried and believe me, I have sampled my fair share of skincare in my time. When a nourishing night cream contains ingredients like pure avocado oil, macadamia nut, manuka honey and kawakawa, you know its going to be good for your skin. First thing you notice is the smell. Oh my! It is gorgeous. This was nowhere near as overpowering as I thought it would be which is a big plus. It is quite a thick cream, so you only need the smallest amount and as you can see, I have barely scraped the surface of this! I have been using it for about 2 weeks and every morning when I wake up, my skin feels so soft and luscious. You can feel it works through the night to nourish. I got a couple of dry patches on my cheeks the other week, which I believe was due to the exfoliator I use, so one application of this cream and the next morning they were gone. It does not make my face feel clogged or greasy either.   

I was quite pleased with the price of this too. I purchased this product from National Pharmacies where we are members, which means we get some discount :) If I remember correctly, this was about $38. I think the packaging is so handy, it's a great size and you can see ALL of the product so it allows you to scrape out every last bit of nourishing goodness! If you have dry skin or just want to try a new night cream out, I would definitely recommend giving this one a go. Maybe, just maybe when my KORA day cream runs out, I will have to try the Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream. Antipodes are winning me over with their concoctions, vanilla pod?! YUM! I have also been looking at getting their exfoliator and Manuka Honey Face Mask...mmmmmmm, how luxurious!

Have you tried any Antipodes products? What did you think?

L’Oréal EverPure Range


I love washing my hair. The smell of the shampoo and conditioner is a big selling point for me, so when I saw one of my favourite Bloggers/YouTubers, Essiebutton, raving about the smell and just pure goodness of this L’Oréal EverPure range, I had to have it :P This range is for colour treated hair which is just perfect for me. I get my hair colour touched up every 8 weeks or so and I want my hair in the best condition it can be with colour in it. It is also sulphate free which was another selling point. Let me begin by saying, this range smells AMAZING!!! As Estee put it, it's like you are in a day spa or something, which is completely and utterly true. Yum! I went out and purchased the shampoo and conditioner first and loved it that much that I got the leave in conditioner and the moisture mask. 

   
L’Oréal EverPure Shampoo & Conditioner - $14.99 ea
These products are simply fantastic. I got the moisture shampoo and conditioner as my hair gets extremely dry. Shampoo first, I love a shampoo that lathers up lots, it feels like I am washing my hair more :P so I was so pleased when this shampoo did exactly that. You only need a small amount of product and this froths up like nothing I've ever seen before. It feels great on my hair, leaves it squeaky clean and doesn't leave that annoying residue. The scent of this one is Rosemary and Juniper. So delicious, it makes me enjoy washing my hair so much! The conditioner is equally amazing. Again, a small amount of the product goes a long way and it smells like Rosemary and Mint. I prefer the scent of this one, so so so beautiful I just can't describe it! I leave the conditioner in for about 5 minutes or so then rinse it out. I have noticed a huge difference in the condition of my hair over the past few weeks of using these products. It is soft and shiny and my colour definitely has not faded as much as I have noticed previously. 


L’Oréal EverPure Moisture Leave-In Conditioner - $9.99
Leave-in conditioner is a must for me. I can't comb my hair properly if I don't apply some sort of leave-in product. I got this on special at the local chemist so I apologise if the price is not correct for this one. Another Rosemary and Mint scented product from EverPure, schwing! This leave-in conditioner is very concentrated so I use one pump after I have towel dried my hair. I apply it just on the mid-lengths and ends of my hair as sometimes it leaves the hair feeling slightly stiff (no other way to describe it but a little run through the hair with your fingers and it is all good). It is a clear serum that is slightly runny but nothing too drastic. My hair smells and feels amazing after it dries (I do not blow-dry my hair) and I do not wake up with greasy hair, another amazing bonus! 


L’Oréal EverPure Moisture Deep Restorative Masque - $13.99
Finally, the hair mask. I make sure to use a treatment for my hair at least once a week. I shampoo first then apply this to the mid-lengths and ends of my hair and give it a quick comb through with my fingers. I leave it on for 5-10 minutes then rinse. I may go slightly crazy with this product and use more than is needed - it's the Rosemary and Mint smell again, I can't resist - but it always rinses out easily and doesn't leave my hair greasy. I am so pleased with the condition of my hair after using this mask, it is shiny and silky and easy to work with. It makes me feel like I am actually restoring moisture to my hair, wahoo! 

There you have it, my rundown on the L’Oréal EverPure Haircare Range. I am so happy I invested in these products, they seem to be widely available here and I can already see the positive effect is it having on the condition of my hair. They smell amazing (try it for yourself!) and are not extremely overpriced either. The packaging being pink and purple is also something I love :) 

Have you tried the L’Oréal EverPure or any of their other haircare ranges? What do you think?

Enjoy the day! The sun was shining when I took these photos and 10 minutes later it poured with rain and it is so dark outside haha. Em x
