John Frieda Full Repair Style Creator

I've had this product for quite a while now, having bought it when it first came out.  I'm a sucker for a heat protector and am constantly trying new ones and few live up to my expectations, this one does.

This is a styling spray and heat protector in the one product.  It helps to improve manageability, natural movement and long lasting hold, it also contains Inca Inchi Oil and is safe for coloured or chemically treated hair.  You can use this on wet or towel dried hair and according to the instructions use more or less depending on hair length and thickness.

I use this on towel dried hair and I spray it till I think my hair is covered, its probably a different amount every time.  How much is more or less of what? I think that that part of the instructions is a bit strange.
I really like this, it gives me the heat protection which I want and also gives me hold in my style.  I tend not to use products like hairsprays so this gives me some hold to my style as well. I like the fragrance of this, kinda reminds me of Hugo Boss Deep Red, which I love so that is a bonus. I find that it doesn't leave my hair greasy even if I am a bit heavy handed with it.

This product has become one of my two go to heat protectors. I love the shine and hold that it gives to my hair, even after using heat styling on my hair it still feels soft and looks good.  This doesn't affect the colour I have in my hair. It's a great product and I'm nearly finished mine and I will be repurchasing this soon.

W7 Lipstick and Mascara

I'm so sorry to have not posted in ages, I have been having computer problems which I had hoped would be fixed last week but that wasn't to be.  So after having to take everything off my computer and start from scratch again, I'm finally back.  This post was meant to be done a while ago but it's here now.  The one good thing about the computer issues is that I've got to try these to items really well.

I haven't actually tried anything from W7 before and i have to say I really like these and would like to try more items from the brand.  These are PR samples that I asked if I could have samples of.

First up is Magic Matte Lips, as I've said before I've only recently started using lipstick and I'm really liking matte look on lips.  This is in the colour In the Pink.  Which if I'm being honest is a shade that I wouldn't have picked myself but I'm glad I got it sent to me.  It looks quite a dark pink but for day time I like to apply a little to my lips then use my finger to blot it out and it makes it a bit more subtle which I like.  If I'm going out then I will apply this normally and have the stronger look.  I also like that because it is matte I can apply a lip gloss over the top of it for a different look. I really like the fact that I can use this in a number of different ways.

I really like the packaging.  It looks really sleek and smart. I like that you can see the colour at the bottom. I think the packaging looks really expensive.

I really like this lipstick and would like to have some of the other shades.

The other product that I asked for was a mascara.  This is the Double Up Volume Waterproof Mascara, in the shade Blackest Black.

This is a two step waterproof mascara.  The first brush gives even coverage so it creates an even base in preparation for step two.  Step two gives you the length and volume.

Step one.

Step two

The brush in step one is actually quite a good size (sorry for the blurry picture) and gives a really good effect on its own.  In step two it is actually the same brush just with more product on it.  I did find that the mascara was really wet and there was a bit too much product on the brush but a quick wipe on the top of the tube and it was fine.  This second step does give lots of volume and  length. I really like this mascara, I must admit that I do prefer using just step one most days.  I find that this gives my lashes enough volume and length for daytime and I prefer to use both steps for a dramatic look.  Again I love that from one product I can get two different looks, saves on having to have different mascaras for different looks.  The packaging is great, I love the pink against the black.  Being a waterproof mascara I find that it lasts really well, doesn't give me panda eyes and is really easy to remove at the end of the day.

I really liked both of these products and enjoy using them.  I had heard of W7 before but had never tried anything from there and after trying these two products I would like to try other things from the range.  I was really impressed with both.
