[L'Oréal Paris] L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair Extreme Split Ends Fixer review

[L'Oréal Paris] L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair Extreme Split Ends Fixer review

 This retails at $6.99 for 0.5 FL. OZ. But L'Oréal Paris always has coupons on their site.

Especially if you make an account with them.

The site description:

 Repairs Broken Fibers.

Mends Split Ends.

Penetrates Layers Deep. 

The new Total Repair Extreme Split Ends Fixer is a powerful dual action serum that helps repair broken fibers and seal split ends. This luxurious formula instantly penetrates into the fiber to deeply renew extremely damaged and over-processed hair.

So that's pretty much me in a nut shell. I'm an Asian girl with a love of blonde hair. Do you know how much damage happens to dark Asian hair when you bleach it blonde? Yeah, it turns into straw covered in barbs. BUT I'M ADDICTED!!! 

I can't help myself. I love cool colors and bleach and my hair suffers for it. I also LOVE long hair too but I always end up cutting it off because I can't stand how damaged it feels. 

WELL NO MORE!!

 If only they made this stuff 8 years ago then I would still have long hair!

I Love This Stuff. This product has turned into something I Can't Live Without. 

It turns my dead hair into soft, shiny, and manageable hair. 

It's a MIRACLE!!!

Immediately after applying I notice a difference in the texture of my hair. It leaves my hair so smooth and manageable and there is no greasiness or residue left over.

Seriously this stuff is amazing. I mean I put my hair through the ringer and this stuff makes it feel like virgin hair again :)

It's a dual serum.

The ONLY CON to this packaging is that if your not perfectly in the middle it can be somewhat easy to get an uneven amount of both serums. So you have to press perfectly in the middle but you get used to it.

One part red. One part clear.

The key to beautiful hair!!

 

The site's Directions:

 The Site Ingredients List:

11009611 Hydroxyethylcellulose, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Benzyl Alcohol, 2-oleamido-1,3- Octadecanediol, Ci 17200/Red 33, Ci 19140/ Yellow 5, Citronellol, Alphaisomethyl Ionone, Geraniol. F.I.L. D160083/3 Us Patent: 5,618,523

So all in all I love this stuff. 

All in all though I can see this being a bit pricey for girls with longer and thick hair because I think they would run out with in a week or two. 

For me I use 3 or 4 pumps and my hair is a little bit longer than shoulder length and thinner. 

This product does have a strong fragrance to it but I Really Really like the scent, it makes my hair smell incredible, I can see it bothering some people though.

Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain full collection (Swatches & Review)

Pictured left to right: 001 India Intrigue, 005 Parisian Passion, 010 LA Exclusive, 015 Barcelona Nights, 020 Rio Rush,   025 Cannes Crush, 030 Milan Moment, 035 Miami Fever, 040 Shanghai Sizzle, 045 New York Scene, 050 London Posh, 055 Stockholm Chic.

The Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain collection consists of 12 shades.

The packaging is nice because there are windows that show that actual color of the formulas.

I like that the Revlon logo is perpendicular to the product name, it's eye catching.

The standouts in this collection are definitely the reds, they are super uniform and pigmented.

You'll see in the swatches.

001 India Intrigue

005 Parisian Passion

010 LA Exclusive

015 Barcelona Nights

020 Rio Rush

025 Cannes Crush

030 Milan Moment

035 Miami Fever

040 Shanghai Sizzle

045 New York Scene

050 London Posh

055 Stockholm Chic

So the verdict? For something that has the words "ColorStay" and "Stain" in it this product fails.

None of the colors left me with any leftover color or a stain.

On top of that the color comes off fairly easily. I ate with these on and, even though I was being

careful, after the meal none of the product was present on my lips.

The products also have a weird smell to them. Not exactly unpleasant but nothing good either. I can't for the life of me pin the smell down though. 

They have a watery consistency but after they sit on your lips for a couple minutes they thicken up, A Lot.

They hard to apply, you get a lot of product on the edges of your lips, I don't know if it's the applicator or just the formula, the formula also feathers.

Overall if your going to get these go for the reds and London Posh.

SheInside Shopping Review

So just recently I reviewed the online shop Oasap, favorably I might add, check it out here.

I won a free trial from the shopping site SheInside and from what I gather they are similar to Oasap. They are both located in Hong Kong, both sites offer similar items, and often times same items, they have the same site layouts and the same free trial business and both offer free standard shipping. 

Except for me one is better than the other. I ordered from both sites at around the same time and I already got my package from Oasap, I ordered from them 10/03/13. 

I ordered a sweater from SheInside on 10/09/13 and I just got a packaged shipped email confirmation from them on 10/27/13... WHAT? Yes, just a couple days ago I got a shipment confirmation from them. Oasap is way quicker, even though I picked the free shipping option from both sites. 

I will update this review with the actual sweater review once I well.. actually get the sweater lol. 

OASAP Leggings Review

So I ordered two pairs of leggings from Oasap.com on 10/03/2013 and I just got the package today, 10/18/2013.

So before you say, "What the hell, why did it take so long?", I'll tell you this, they are a Chinese company and they ship from Hong Kong and the shipping was also FREE. Yep they have free standard shipping for every order. If I remember correctly the other shipping prices weren't too bad either, I'm just super cheap haha. The leggings were packaged in their own plastic bags and those two plastic bags were housed in a separate plastic bag which was then stuck in the shipping bag. They did not include a return slip.

 So on to the good stuff. These are the leggings I bought. The Muscle Print Leggings were $21.17 and the Galaxy Print Leggings were $24.57. The prices change all the time though so they could be different now. One thing I didn't like about them is that they only come in One Size. Usually I'm an XS so I was worried about the fit.

My Stats are: Hips are 30 in. around, Waist is 25 in. around, and I'm around 93 pounds. My Height is 4'11".

CONS They don't conform all the way to my legs (in the knee area) like I would like and the crotch area wrinkles from it not fitting correctly but it's nothing I'm going to sent them back over, (you get what you pay for). They are also really long on me but I'm used to that, being 4'11" and all lol.

PROS The material is nice and thick and the colors are vibrant, they look more expensive then they really are. 

These designs are knock offs from Black Milk Clothing whose leggings run $70 and up. The fit of these leggings is the only thing that yells out CHEAP, well that and the stitching. The stitching isn't bad they're holding up, but they aren't super tight.. like you can see the stitching..

Overall I think I'll buy from them again :)

 I hope you like my review and if you have suggestions and comments be sure to well.. comment haha. 

I WILL UPLOAD MORE PHOTOS SOON.
