CHI Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray

No thank you.

I have to agree with Elle A. I did not like it either. I found it made my hands sticky as I worked with my hair, and if it did that to my hands, what effect does that have on my hair?

I try not to apply too much heat to my hair, so I air dry before I flat iron. But if I'm in a hurry I'll spray this onto towel-squeezed hair, blow dry, wait for my hair to cool down completely, spray again and flat iron. I comb my hair in the shower when it's wet and don't comb it again until I flat iron it, and I never usually have an issue with tangles when I blow dry, but this stuff makes so many knots and tangles in my hair when I blow dry. To the point where I have to cut out the knots coz it's impossible to comb it out. I've used this method with other spray thermal protectors, but CHI is the only one I have this issue with.

I like the way it mists and the scent is lovely, but not worth a repurchase.

Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula

I absolutely LOVE this scrub!

It's like a spa treatment for your face in the comfort of your bathroom. Nothing makes your skin feel as tingly clean and light than this scrub. I use it before my 3-step which makes my skin more receptive to everything from the Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel, to the 2 or 3 other products I use after. Other scrubs make my skin red and I tend to get more oily, but not with 7DS. I have oily/combination skin and I find that with regular use (3 times per week) my skin is not as oily at the end of the day, even after using the oily Youth Surge day cream. I highly recommend Clinique 7 Day Scrub!

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain

Not a favourite.

Pros: buildable colour, all the colours go well with my complexion, which is not always the case with a range of lip colours. The lip balm is glossy and moisurising.

I find it dries out quickly if it's not stored up straight on the colour tip,so I have to keep it in a pen pocket in my handbag. I don't like the way it applies. It tends to be dry. It lasts as long as a longlasting lipstick, but it's certainly not an all-day lip colour.

Will I buy it again? Probably not.
