L'Oréal Color Show Define Wax

This styling wax is not available in regular stores but can only be purchased at hairdresser salons. I love the design, the jar looks really cute and feminine, it is also a really neat size so you can easiliy fit it in your purse when you go out. Also I'm a sucker for the color pink.

When I first opened the jar I did not expect the wax to be this 'creamy'. It says on the jar that this is a wax but yet it looks nothing like a wax, more like a lotion or creme.

I really love the fresh fragrance of this wax and the soft texture. This wax says that it will enhance the color of your hair but I did not at all see this happen when I applied it to my hair, maybe its because I've got very blonde hair. This wax does not function as a strong support if you want to style your hair in an updo, it is more effective to use for when you want to let go your hair in a loose hairstyle.

All in all I like this product even though it doesn't do the things it promises. I like to put this in my hair when I'm lazy and don't want to style my hair in any particular way.

My rating: ★★★★☆☆

Elizabeth Arden Peel & Reveal

This is a great product totally worth every penny. Its mild and gentle so you can easily use it every day.

I purchased Elizabeth Arden's Peel & Reveal face mask a while back and I fell in love with it from the very first day. I love the design of the jar and the lovely brush that came with it. It looks very much like an exclusive/expensive product that you want to show on your bathroom shelf.
 
When I opened the jar the first thing I noticed was the gentle berry-like fragrance, the liquid is a see-through light pink color.

Instructions for usage: For the best results you must cleanse your face before putting this mask on, I usually put this mask on right after showering. When your face is clean and dry, dip about a third of the brush gently in to the liquid and lift it up gently twirling it to avoid dripping from the brush. Apply the liquid to your face and remember to avoid putting the mask on your lips and eye area. When you've applied the mask to your face wait for about 15-20 minutes (when it has dried completely) then gently peel the mask of starting from for instance your chin. After you have removed the mask your face will feel incredibly soft.

This mask is very gentle and won't irritate your skin, even if you've got very sensitive skin.
