Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Palm sized plastic orange tinted bottle that is pretty slim and tiny. The top is a large pump dispenser that when twisted opens and closes, which means it can be perfect for travel. Smell: Fresh and fruity. Colour: Clear. Texture/ Formula: Runny consistency but thicker than water and a tad sticky. It's lightweight and easily absorbed and applied to the hair. My hair length is mid chest and for that length I need more than a pee sized amount to do my whole hair concentrating the thermal serum mid length to ends than the remainder on the top of my head as to not weigh my hair down. It did protect against thermal products very well. I didn't notice any difference for UV exposure or against colour fading. My hair did feel more smoother and softer than when I use the thermal spray protectant by Tresemme but I didn't notice it being shinier. I enjoyed this, though I do feel...

Packaging: Clear tinted orange rectangle bottle with right side slightly curved. The cap is purple that is great for travelling. Smell: Invigorating citrus. Colour: Tinted clear orange with orange & yellow bursting beads. Texture/ Formula: It's your typical liquid that contains vitamin C and ginseng which are known for their nourishing properties. I didn't have any breakouts or skin irritations. Not only is it oil free but foams up nicely, the bursting beads contain the vitamins and suitable for all skin types. It made my skin feel fresh, clean, energised with a cooling and slightly tingly feeling. If you have trouble waking up in the morning and feeling fresh then this will help you. I really enjoyed it but personally it wasn't anything exceptional. Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $11 for 240ml.

Packaging: Metal can with a tinted clear black cap. It is large in terms of height and circumference and because of this I find it a little difficult to store. The nozzle is a push down spray, which can get clogged if the can is held up and sprayed on top of the nozzle rather than straight out. However the nozzle does spray evenly and lightly. Smell: Like all Tresemme products, nice flowerly with a slight hint of alcohol. Colour: Clear liquid, no tint to it. Texture/ Formula: Not sticky, fast drying on hair, not stiff on the hair unless spray really extreme up close to the hair nor does the hairspray feel as though it's building up. A good thing about this formula is that the hairspray is gone when the hair is brushed. It doesn't leave any white flakes. The hold lasts a long time as it has gribbing polymers. It will wash out including getting soaked. It has a 24hr climate control including hum...

Packaging: Plastic bottle with pink push spray nozzle. The nozzle is concentrated so the product targets specific area on the head & not a larger area where the product isn't wanted. It comes with a plastic cap that fits over the nozzle preventing any accidental spray or wastage. The bottle is shaped in a way that can be identified with the outline of a body, which would tie in with the 'body' wording in the product name. Smell: Citrus, fruity/ flowery. Which is unimous across all Tresemme products. Colour: Clear liquid. Texture/ Formula: Spray that is concentrated and not very wide which is good for getting right in at the roots. The liquid isn't sticky at all unlike their curl control spray and contains a volume control complex which helps in obtaining volume. It's a light formula and doesn't seem to weigh my hair down. Tresemme claim that this lasts all day and night, hence the '24hr' wo...

In wanting a lip pencil in a colour that would match seemingless with my natural lip colour and so it could go with any colour of lipstick, I choose this as I had no idea where and what brand/ texture to start with. Packaging: Pencil with a plastic cap. Smell: Nil. Colour: #25 Toast - light brown with mauve undertones. Medium pigmentation with a matte finish. I was aiming to get a colour spot on with my natural lips but this colour is a tad more moauve than my natural lip colour. Available in 8 shades. Texture/ Formula: It's a dry and thin consistency. It is a little hard and tough to apply and didn't glide on the lips like I was imagining. It has a little give in terms of smudging it into the lips. It won't bleed, smudge or fade. It does last for 6hrs which I found impressive. However I don't feel that it gripped my lip product more. It felt a little drying on the lips. I don't like this liner, it i...

Packaging: The concealer comes in a hard tube with a screw off white cap revealing a metal rollerball that massages the under when used and gives a cooling effect against the skin. Smell: Moisturiser and sunscreen which is very faint if you smell really hard. Colour: Fair to medium - peach undertones. Medium coverage with a matte finish. Medium to dark - beige with orange undertones. Medium coverage with a matte finish. Available in 2 shades. I would recommend to go a shade lighter than you think as the product tends to oxidise and turn a little darker. Texture/ Formula: Smooth, think concealer, with enough setting time to blend the product in. The formula contains caffeine to stimulate the under eye area and lemon essence known for it's clarifying purposes. It is also opthalmologically and dermatologically tested, so it shouldn't affect sensitive eyes. This is a 2 in 1 pr...

These were a free gift with purchase and if that wasn't so I wouldn't go out of my way to get these or try them out as waxing isn't my preferred method of hair removal. Packaging: The strips come in a small slim box. The strips themselves are pictured below and the wax sits in between to plastic sheets. Smell: Nil. Colour: Faint yellow. Texture/ Formula: Not sure what to mention here other than that the strips are 3.5cm x 7.5cm and contain chamomile extract. They are easy to use, just really have to make sure to warm the wax strip between your hands to warm the wax up otherwise the wax won't have any stickiness to it. There is also 2 remove wax residue after care wipes included. Precise strips that can be cut further to fit a smaller area. Long lasting in terms of hair re-growth. There is no stinging or the wax had a string hold and ripped off skin. Nair reckons to ...
