[Review] Kérastase Discipline Fluidissime Spray - Heat Protector & Frizz Control

Whenever I go to a humid country, my hair goes absolutely crazy and for the most I end up looking like a lion because my hair does not take well to the heat, at all. For ages I have been looking for a product that will help me tame the frizzy mess caused by the hot weather and I hadn't had any luck, until now.

Kérastase have never disappointed me before, so I decided to trust in them again and try out their 'Discipline Fluidissime Spray'. The back of the bottle describes this product as: “Complete anti-frizz* care, for all unruly hair. Heat-Protection - Shine - Smoothness - Movement. Shake. Spray onto cleansed, towel-dried hair. Avoid spraying towards the eyes or on irritated skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them immediately. *Anti-frizz 72 hours - Discipline routine of shampoo + rinse-out treatment + spray."

Usage - After washing my hair, I spray this on about 6 spritz (3 on each side of my hair) and then blowdry as usual.

Result - My hair is visibly less wild and it leaves my hair feeling smooth and smelling great. I love that it doesn't weigh down my hair either.

Where to buy - I bought mine online from lookfantastic.com and from Amazon.

[Review] Simple Water Boost Hydrating Booster

When your skin starts getting dry, even though you have not changed your skincare routine, you know that winter is coming and it is time to switch up your routine. It was around this time of revelation, that I was flicking through Style magazine and saw the new product advertised from Simple. I was really happy with my routine and was worrying about what moisturiser to change to, as having combination skin makes it such a headache to find one that is not too heavy that it makes your skin oily but still hydrating enough to keep your skin moisturised, so when I saw that the Simple Hydrating Booster was a product that I could use before my moisturiser, I was excited to try it.

Simple states there are 3 ways you can use this product:

1. As a hydrating primer layer - Apply a small amount all over the face before your daily moisturiser.

2. As a booster - Add a few drops to your daily moisturiser.

3. For dry/dehydrated areas - Apply directly as needed before your moisturiser.

I use the 3rd method, day and night and have been doing so for the last 2 months. At night I use it with Simple's age-resisting night cream and in the day I use it with Clinique's Superdefense day cream so it does not necessarily have to be paired with a Simple product to be effective. My skin is currently happy, hydrated and it has not irritated it at all so I am very pleased with the product. The consistency is a liquid-gel and it has a very light scent to it. 

It is currently on offer in Boots for £4.66 (originally £6.99). I, for one will definitely be stocking up after this one runs out.

[Review] Superdrug Skincare - Vitamin E Nourishing Eye Cream

I am not sure what happened but recently the area around my eyes got really, really dry and my eyelids were swollen. I went to the Doctors for my swollen eyes which thankfully went down but the area around it was still really dry. I have been using Simple's Kind to Eyes Soothing Eye Balm for a long time now and never had a problem with it but I needed something just a bit more moisturising without irritating my skin. I researched online and read that Vitamin E is really good for the skin, it is an antioxidant and nutrient. I decided to give it a go and purchased Superdrug's Vitamin E Oil and Nourishing Eye Cream. 

I had been using the eye cream for about 2 days and instantly saw a change. It moisturised the area around my eyes without making it too oily or irritating it. My eyes have gone back to normal now and they look softer than ever! The consistency is just a tiny bit thicker than the Simple Soothing Eye Balm and the smell is not strong at all.

Experimenting with skincare is never cheap but I have found that it is not always the high-end brands that are best for your skin and when it comes to eye creams, I definitely found that out the hard way. I spent so much money on expensive eye creams which done absolutely nothing for my eyes and in most cases they actually angered my skin so this is why I stuck with Simple. Now, however I am happy to say I have found my new favourite eye cream and it is really cheap at £2.99 from Superdrug, just another bonus.
