Reveal and Review - RetailBox Secret Box 24 - L'Anza ColorCare Range

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday !

RetailBox launched another of their awesome SecretBoxes about two weeks ago - and I was lucky enough to get a box - these babies sold out very quickly and with good reason . The RetailBox Secret Boxes are worth their weight in gold. The boxes include salon quality haircare products - at a really good price - and Box 24 was no different. 

The box retailed for R299 - but included 3 full sized L'Anza ColorCare products valued at a whopping R1050 ! That's a great bargain for a great range. I have been using the products for about two weeks now too , and so far I'm really impressed - I am including a mini review on each product down below.

A little background on my hair - I have coloured hair , that tends to get greasy at the roots very quickly. 

L'Anza ColorCare Shampoo 300 ml - R330

"L'Anza Healing Colour Care Shampoo will ensure your hair colour is extended 107% longer. It's mild formula is gentle on the hair and delicately lifts impurities , leaving it silky soft and shiny. Protect your hair and make sure your colour stays the way you want it with this L'Anza Healing Colour Care Shampoo. This great product has triple UV colour protection and will leave your hair with added colour brilliance. The product has a pH factor of 5.5 . Free of Sulfates , Parabens and Sodium Chloride "

I love the shampoo - it does a great job of cleaning my hair without stripping colour - which is a huge bonus. I sometimes feel shampoos made for colour treated hair doesn't always get your hair clean - and then my hair gets super greasy quickly. The shampoo does lather - some sulfate free shampoo's doesn't. And it leaves your hair with a great fresh floral smell.

L'Anza ColorCare Conditioner 250 ml - R330

"L'Anza Healing Colour Care Conditioner contains smoothing emollients that actually reduce external stress, enabling colour pigments to remain contained within your hair fibre. This amazing conditioner is enriched with the flower shield complex and triple UV protectors that will ensure your colour looks rich , vibrant and lasts up to 107% longer. This product has a pH factor of 5.5 ."

So .. Truth be told - I have never found a conditioner that works 100% with me. I like this one - but I don't love it. My hair gets weird with conditioner - and this one is sadly no different. Personally I only conditioner my hair once a week - if that much , but I did give this to my mom to try and she loved it. I found the conditioner a little bit too rich - especially with the L'Anza Magic Bullet. (Which I prefer to use ) 

L'Anza ColorCare Magic Bullet 200 ml - R390

"Leave in conditioner spray that offers colour protection and dangling . Lightweight mist so it won't weight down your hair. Flower Shield Complex and sunscreens protect colour treated hair. Good for all hair types with Thermal Protection up to 250' C."

I can sum up my thoughts about this product in one word - MAGICAL . I seriously can't imagine doing my hair without this magical spray . It does an amazing job at dangling my hair , leaves it with a nice scent , makes it look healthy and shiny - and it's an awesome heat protector. I mostly blow-dry my hair daily - and this has made my morning routine so much easier - I don't have to carefully comb my hair out before blow drying - I spray about 4 sprays - massage in and then comb through . I even want to say I'm sure this has reduced the time I spend blow drying my hair. When this bottle gets close to empty - I will be running to my computer to order another bottle from RetailBox - I love it that much . 

Overall - this was a pretty impressive box this round - RetailBox outdid itself again. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the next box by following RetailBox on their social media -

Farm Animals Friday !

Hi guys ! Can't believe its Friday already ! First off, happy birthday to my brother, hope you have a fantastic birthday today ♥ So Tip Top's facebook page, has been running weekly nail art theme competitions. This week's theme is FARM ANIMALS. Well, usually I don't enter these nail art competitions, but since my little man loves farm animals , I decided to give it a go . :) (I also bummed some of his farm animal toys and books as decoration... Hee hee hee ) The rules are you have to use Tip Top colours... So first off let me mention all the colours I used creating these cute farm animals : French Manicure White, Cream Puff, Peach Crisp, Sherbet Angel, Melting Marshmallow, Lemon Fuel, Black Forest , Twilight and Sexy Bikini ♥ So here follows all the cute pics (sorry this post is a little picture heavy ...)   A cow, a piggy, a cow, a duck and a sheep ♥ I just LOVE these cute farm animals don't you ?? My favourite of

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
