Hair Care Products - Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatments

I seem to have accumulated masses of hair care products! I've divided it up into shampoo, conditioners and treatments which you can see below (tomorrow I'll show you my styling and miscellaneous products).





A'kin Lavender & Anthyllis Leave in Conditioner 150ml - this featured in my June Favourites.  A really lovely product it leaves hair conditioned and easy to style, it smells nice and is great value.

John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo & Conditioner 250ml - I reviewed these here.  Really enjoying using them and may purchase.

Louise Galvin Sacred Locks Shampoo &  Conditioner 100ml - my favourite shampoo and conditioner at the moment.  You can read my review here.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 40ml - I got this in February's Feel Unique box and a friend at work just recently gave me some from her giant pot.  Love this product - give hair great shine and makes it look so healthy.

Goldwell Ultra Volume 60sec Gel Treatment 50ml - I got this in last November's Feel Unique box.  A product I don't use that often but like it when I do! Helps with volume and makes fine hair look fuller.

Neil George Intense Repair Mask 215ml - this smells amazing! It's scented with Indian Gooseberry.  A really lovely treatment.  You can read my review here.

Gielly Green Repair Mask 50ml - A fab range of products available for hair and body.  This repair mask is great and a handy size for travel/gym.  You can read my thoughts here.

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner 40ml - I got this in a recent Editor's Picks box from Latest in Beauty.  I've not actually tried it yet!

Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo & Conditioner 10ml - I bought these from a blog sale.  Nice products - they make hair look smooth.  

Percy & Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask 100ml - this was a Glamour magazine freebie which I've not actually tried yet!

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo 50ml - from the Latest in Beauty Aveda box.  Still to test this out.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Overnight Repair Serum 50ml - I've used this a few times and a review will follow.

Redken Nature's Rescue Refreshing Detox Shampoo 200ml - I really like this shampoo and its one I'd re-purchase.  It's great for giving your hair a deep clean. You can read my review here.

Philip B Katira Hair Masque 69ml - this came in the Selfridges box.  Another one I've still to try.  Review will follow.

Leonor Greyl Huiles de Palme 25ml - I got loads of these in swaps and I'm still on my first one!  A great product.  You can see my review here.

Davines Balm 75ml - I received this in Joliebox.  I don't use it that often but enjoy using it when I do and like that it is multi-purpose.

Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Reconstructuring Damage Remedy 40ml - used this once so far and it seems a good product.  Review will follow.

Phyto Phytobaume Express Conditioner 20ml - this came in January's Feel Unique box but I picked this one up on a swap.  Really effective and one I'd buy full size.

Do you use any of these products?

Joliebox Review - July

I was really excited to receive my Joliebox this afternoon.  After all the problems last month with delivery they have started using Yodel couriers.

It's a great box!

This month the box is entitled "Summer Essentials".


You will receive an Etat Pur product - Pure Active A22 - Salicylic Acid 300 - which is effective on acne-prone skin or Biomimetic Skincare B09 - Express Purifying Mask - which I received.  This is a full size product and worth £7.50. It is suitable for oily to combination skin and should be used twice a week.  Looking forward to trying this.

Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond & Mint Cleansing Conditioner - this is 60ml and from a brand I've never heard of before.  Joliebox say "bursting with natural herbs and botanicals, this single step cleansing conditioner leaves hair looking and feeling deeply cleansed and nourished at the same time".  Another product I'm looking forward to trying.

Jane Iredale Tantasia Self Tanner - mini tube.  "A gradual self-tanner for the face and body that provides instant, healthy looking skin".  Might try this on my face as its quite a small tube.

Nailgirls - two mini polishes from the Medal Collection inspired by the Olympics - Gold, Silver or Bronze - I got Gold and Bronze.

Mini Joliebox branded pink toe separators.

After last month an extra has been added by Joliebox to apologise for the late arrival of boxes - a full size Davines Balm worth £17.40.

Did you get the box?  What are your thoughts on the contents?

Joliebox - March



My March Joliebox arrived yesterday.  Included is a Joliemag (which will be included every month).  The Director of Joliebox, Thérèse is featured on the front cover - isn't she gorgeous!  Included are snapshots of the staff and what they do as well as product info of brands that have appeared in the boxes as well as new trends - an interesting read and a great extra.

Included is:-

Davines Moisturising Balm full size of 75ml.  This product featured in a recent Glossybox.  I didn't receive it so was pleased to see this in the box.  A multi-purpose product can be used on face, hair and body.  Looking forward to trying it out!  I love trying products from brands I have never heard of before.

A full size (200ml) Yardley Peony Luxury Body Wash.  A sample vial of EDT was included in the last Carmine box which I quite liked.  I'm sort of on the fence with this one as I associate Yardley with grannies!  But its got a nice floral scent so I'll probably use it.

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner in a grey shade.  I got a plum one in a recent box.  Will happily use this. A full size product.

LCN Nail Polish - again a full size product (8ml) in a pale pink shade.

And a Joliebox handbag mirror.

As I was a new subscriber for the yearly sub I got the Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain mini - which I already love.

Also included is a voucher for 20% off at love hearts and crosses enter JOLIE20 at the till.  Runs until 31/05/2012.

I am really happy with the box.  Did you get this? And what are your thoughts?
