Hi!

After winning a giveaway on L'oreal Beauty Confidential, I received a L'oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss pack which included shampoo, conditioner and conditioning shine spray!

I had received this pack more than a year ago and after finishing my last few bottles of Head and Shoulders shampoo and conditioner, I was able to finally try it out!

What the product claims to do..

Elvive Nutri-Gloss Shine Shampoo:

"L’Oréal Paris ELVIVE Nutri-Gloss Shine Shampoo penetrates the hair to deliver feather-light, root-to-tip nutrition leaving it thoroughly clean and ultra-shiny all over."

Elvive Nutri-Gloss Shine Conditioner:

"L’Oréal Paris ELVIVE Nutri-Gloss Shine Conditioner instantly detangles hair without weighing it down, restoring shine and vibrancy."

Elvive Nutri-Gloss Conditioning Shine Spray:

"A leave-in shine enhancing conditioner you can use everyday, in a spray that's light and quick to use"

(This product has been discontinued so I won't be doing a detailed review on it, a similiar product to this that L'oreal has just launched is this one I believe)

My take on the products...

Note: My hair is normal, my scalp is dry and I shower every second day because my hair ends up getting oily quick.


Initially, I had been using only the L'oreal conditioner and Pantene for shampoo. The conditioner had a very discreet pleasant scent and was working well on it's own. My hair didn't get oily until midway into the 3rd day since I only applied the conditioner to my ends and I felt like my hair had gotten less tangled making it smoother. 

Afterwards, I decided to use the shampoo and conditioner together to see if there would be any changes. After continually using both products every second day, I found that my hair was smooth, less tangled and it had gotten less oily. Along with the plus sides of using both the conditioner and the shampoo, my hair had started to become more stiff and 'straw-like', just how I remember my mum's hair to be which I suppose is the reason for the lack of shine. Occasionally I would use the conditioning shine spray on my ends which smooths out my hair, detangling any knots instantly along with giving a temporary shine.

I didn't think that the shampoo was necessary besides making my hair that little bit more smoother. The conditioner worked fine on its own along with whatever shampoo you would choose to use. I don't believe that the shampoo is 'feather-light' since I don't see any difference in volume.

The product also claims to have 'Proven results' for a 'mirror shine, cashmere touch'.

I think everyone who purchased this item was captivated by the idea of their hair being smooth and having an amazing shine. My hair is definitely smoother but I don't think I would compare it to cashmere and I had found no change in the amount of shine.

Overall, I think this product is perfect for me! It's the first time I've found a product that I've been really happy with! I might drop the shampoo though and use something else since I feel like I don't really need it. 

Available at: Any leading retailer


Price: $4~6

Would I recommend this product?

If you have normal hair like me and you're looking to have your hair become tangle free and smooth, then go for it! But your hair will become more 'straw-like and stiff, I can't really explain the texture. So if you have dry hair this product is definitely not for you!

Would I repurchase?

Yes! Definitely the conditioner. Plus it's affordable! *yay*

Note:

I read from a majority of reviews that putting the conditioner anywhere near the scalp, it'll create itchiness and a dry, flaky scalp. So be aware of that if you're planning on trying out this product!

Also, L'oreal has a whole range of products for different types of hair.
Damaged, Dry, Wavy or Coarse, Coloured and Split ends! But I'm not sure if the other products work just as well.

Hi! How are you all?

Well recently I received two products from Lady Jayne's hair extension range.

1x Length, 45cm 3 pack @ RRP $39.99

1x Volume & Length, 45cm @ RRP $49.99

These extensions are synthetic and are also available in medium brown, golden blonde, dark brown and black. With the use of these extensions, the product aims to provide you with the length and/or volume you desire.

What they say...

 If you know me, you would know that I am obsessed with my hair! I whinge over every single strand that falls off my head and frown as I watch my hair get thinner and thinner day by day...

By the looks of my hair, I definitely need volume so I thought I would give these extensions a test run! 

Maybe these would be the answers to my hopes and dreams! 

Lady Jayne 45cm Volume Hair Extensions

The extensions came already curled in an elastic net.

It was actually very practical! It kept the product tangle and mess free

As advised by Lady Jayne: 

"Use Lady Jayne solid naturally weaved hair extensions which runs ear-to-ear to pump your hair with extra volume and length."

The extensions for volume had so many layers of hair!

It was 30cm in width and had 10 layers with 7 clips to support it

The clips on the Volume extensions were much bigger and sturdier than the ones provided for the Lengthening extensions.

Holding the extensions was definitely heavy, I wasn't surprised considering the amount of layers!

After:

You can definitely see the difference in appearance, and for me... the weight! 

It was actually really heavy :( 

But I was able to achieve my desired look with these extensions...

If there's no pain, there's no gain right?

Lady Jayne 45cm Length Hair Extensions

The Lady Jayne 45cm Length Hair Extensions came in the same packaging as the Volume one.

There were Three pieces in this pack.

As advised by Lady Jayne: 

"Use these extensions to add a bit of volume, to add an under-layer of colour or add several layers to a short haircut. Place lower on the head for length or higher on the head to fill out a ponytail."

Upon opening both products, I noticed that the synthetic hair was really soft! The 'Length' product was much more softer than the 'Volume' one, I'm not sure if there was meant to be a difference in that...

This product came already curled which I had to straighten.

I clipped these 3 pieces to the lowest layer of my hair.

Looking in the mirror, no difference was made at all!

My hair was much too long.

I was provided with the extensions in Black and it matched perfectly with my hair colour!

I wouldn't know how long these extensions would be sturdy for. Being synthetic and all, I'd expect for it to have not a very long life span.

I've only had human hair extensions before but those died pretty quick.

Lets just see how I go as I keep using the extensions for Volumising!

Pros:

- Packaged in a hairnet for easy storage and to remain tangle free
- Simple to place on hair with the clips

- The extensions are soft
- Four shades available
- Available in two lengths for lengthening extensions, 30 and 45 cms

Cons:

- The weight for the 'Volume' extensions are heavy
- Clips could be a bit larger for the lengthening extensions

Product: 3/5

Packaging: 5/5

Quality: 4/5

Price: RRP $39.99 - $49.99

Available at: Priceline, Leading Pharmacies and Big W

Would I recommend this product?
If you're looking for a quick and simple way to add length or volume to your hair, then this product is for you!

Would I repurchase this product?
Well for the extensions for volume I think that it is worth the price you're paying since it comes in many layers but the extensions are a bit heavy and may need a little while to get use to. If they were to come out with a volume range that had 2 separate layers to even out the weight, I think that would be even better... So if that happened, yes I would repurchase this!

As for the extensions for length, I would not repurchase this item. Paying $40 for 3 pieces of 6cm extensions   is not worth it at all to me.

Thank you for viewing!
