John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating for Darker Shades Shampoo & Conditioner

-

Packaging:
Both come in squeeze tubes with bottom caps. The shampoo has a glitter tinted plastic bottle which is good as you can see how much product is left. The conditioner tube tinted in a shiny opaque gold.

Smell:
Citrus, green & fresh with floral undertones.

 Colour:
Shampoo is a light yellow colour while the conditioner is white.

Texture/Formula:
The shampoo is a runny gel like consistency while the conditioner is thicker and more of a cream consistency. This highlight activating range is supposed to highlight the blonde colour already in the hair without depositing any colour. The formula has honey and oatmeal extracts that help with the max blonde impact.

Also according to the John Frieda website "gently removes dulling build-up & residues that make blonde look dull & dark". Well I can say using this shampoo & conditioner did enhance my blonde tips in my hair that is still growing out from when I had been a dyed blonde 2 years ago. Nothing like a freshly dyed colour though. My hair did feel nourished as well.

I don't feel as though this is a must for blonde hair. I do feel like a purple shampoo is defiantly needed for blondes to liven up the colour. It's great to liven up colour treated hair.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $15 for 250ml.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
