John Frieda Sheer Blonde 'Everlasting Blonde' Shampoo&Conditioner | REVIEW.

Good evening everyone, I do hope you have all been enjoying your week, today I am going to do a nifty little review for 'yall and it is the John Frieda Sheer Blonde 'Everlasting Blonde' Shampoo and Conditioner (what a mouthful!). This is a new addition do the every-growing sheer blonde family which each specialize in different blonde needs. For example one makes your hair BLONDER, one CORRECTS the tones in your hair, there a few of them but after reviewing the range I finally decided the one I needed to invest in was this one. I then saw it on 'EmTalks' blog where she spoke about it and how much she loved it and it just complete sold me, I'll give you the link for that if your interested here...  SO anyway I hope you enjoy this review :-)

Here are the links to the products if you are interested:

BUY THIS SHAMPOO, BUY THIS CONDITIONER. Both £5.89 each.

Shop the whole sheer blonde range here.

Let's begin!

Both the shampoo and conditioner look exactly identical besides the words 'Shampoo' and 'Conditioner' on them, and the cap just flips down for use which is really easy and simple.

On the back are the instructions in various languages and the ingredients, if your into all that kind of thing. It also states:

"Keep your blonde colour fresh for the look and feel of newly coloured hair"

 Either way they both look so cool and professional, they look like they belong in a salon and it just makes me want to put them on display for the rest of my days. My thoughts on the size are also pretty positive, their almost perfect because their not too big that you couldn't take them travelling but their not too small that you owuld use it all up in a week, so I think they've got it spot on. I also like the fact that their not necceserily a 'bottle' their more like a 'giant toothpaste' type tube if you catch my drift. This makes them great for travelling - I have no idea how recycle-able they would be though?

Let's move onto the product!

So I thought I would begin with the shampoo. This shampoo is very interesting because the solution (is that what I call it?) itself is very unusual. It's almost like a transparent serum which is REALLY froffy and bubbly when added with water. A little bit certainly goes a long way which is great for efficiency.

This froffyness continues throughout the use, and I don't know why but I find this shampoo makes my hair feel so knotty. It really tangles up my curly hair which I suppose is fine I can just brush it all out, but still I will pre-warn you be prepared for some tangle-messiness! Overall it just feels very soapy and froffy in your hair and takes a while to rinse it all out. Once it's out your hair doesn't feel amazing but then again it's only a colour enhancing shampoo so what more do you expect? When it comes to results, I was very pleased with this shampoo it certainly does enhance and preserve your colour as well as the conditioner (more on results at the end of the post).

Now lets go to the conditioner!

This conditioner is also again very unusual, very unexpected. It is EXTREMELY thick (but in a good way), it almost feels like an intense hand cream which feels great on your hair. I am the type of person who likes to use LOTS of conditioner so I fear that I will use this all up before the shampoo, but we shall see! It isn't froffy, it's thick which feels quite nourishing and (much to my happiness!) smooths out the hair, smoothing out the tangles is just a brush through with your fingers and your done. Again the colour isn't yellow it's white and creamy which I suppose is again unexpected but effective.

So like I said it's very thick, it feels great in your hair and leaves it feeling super silky and smooth. Probably isn't as efficient as the shampoo it feels like I have to use a lot in my hair (but then again my hair is quite long so it will probably be different for everyone). It leaves your hair looking brighter and more nourished which is exactly what is advertised, which is very pleasing!

DOES IT REALLY WORK?

I am very pleased to tell how impressed I was with this product, it certainly does brighten your hair colour and I've found that the longer I've used it, the better it looks. For some reason I found that it works EVEN better if you go and sit out in the sun after you've showered and let mother nature dry your hair naturally, (not that it says anything about sunlight in the instructions, it was just an observation I made). My hair HATES being coloured it literally loves to strip out the colour (an observation by my hairdresser, she said everyone's hair copes differently to colour and unfortunately mines rather negative). All in all you can expect great results immediately, here is the results after just one use of both together:

SO would I recommend this product? Yes I would to anyone who is a bit fed up with their coloured hair, I would send them immediately to a drugstore to pick this up, I will certainly be buying these again when I run out, I fear it may become a staple of mine.

BUY THIS SHAMPOO, BUY THIS CONDITIONER. Both £5.89 each.

And that is it for today everyone! I hope you've liked this post, if you did do give it a cheeky little comment I always love to hear what you guys think. If you have any questions about the product or about me or my blog you can also comment below and I will try my hardest to get back to you. Thank you all for reading and I will see you all very soon!

Holiday HAUL

Morning everyone! I thought today I would briefly share with you some of the things I bought while I was on holiday, I hope you enjoy it:)

So the first thing I bought was a cute little eye shadow from Sephora. I've been dying for a black/charcoal eye shadow for months but didn't know which one to get, so when I saw this in the wonderful Sephora store I just couldn't resist. I was so impressed with how pigmented it is, far better than the darks on my elf 100PC palette which turn out quite grey...

It's hard to tell with the lighting but it's pretty much a smokey charcoal shade, why don't Sephora name their shadows??!

Here is a final swatch of it. This colour would be great for a dramatic or smokey eye look, or even as softer eyeliner (use a teeny weeeny brush) for the summer months.

The neext thing I bought was...

These bad boys! These are vintage kellogs biscuit tins that I bought in a French supermarket, and I thought they would be excellent for storing my makeup brushes and other makeup bits and bobs. They're also amazing for travelling because their oh-so compact and store-able, their also really strong which is perfect for my sometimes too heavy hands.

The lids are transparent which is great for make-up and I also love the design of the tins and the images. I've always loved quirky vintage things and so I was a bit like a magpie to these.

Onto the next thing!

I popped into Jack Wills (my favorite shop of all time) and decided to treat myself to a cute little hoodie for Autumn/Winter, I always find I don't have enough snuggly hoodies in the winter and so this is going to be a great start to a new hoodie collection so that in the winter I can be lovely and warm. If you've never bought anything from Jack Wills before I will guarantee to you that the quality is amazing, it's so much better than Hollister (which is pretty rubbish actually:S but I still love it;) ) and their stuff LASTS, I will probably have this hoodie for the rest of my life, ok maybe not until the day I die but close enough;)

This is such a bad photo, I promise it looks better than this;)

It pains me to say that this has now gone in the sale... grrr...

This is a great little shampoo by John Frieda called 'Everlasting blonde'. This is part of a new range of sheer blonde hair products that are specifically designed for blonde needs. I felt light my hair colour needed brightening and renewing and so I grabbed this one and it has been my new best friend. It's been fantastic, I will do a more in depth review soon:-)

Aaaand then last but certainly by no means least...

Are these beautiful dotted jeans. Now I have a slight obsession for Polka dots, I always have, and so when I saw these, it was like a movie moment where we were both running through fields towards each other in slow motion, and so I bought them, and I still love them.

Aren't they just beautiful?

And that's it guysss! As always thank you for reading, if you have enjoyed this post then do give it a cheeky little comment, I read every single one I love them:) As always I wish the best weekend ever and I will see you all on Monday:) Love Annie:-)xx

What do you stock up on while on holiday?
