Lately I've Been Lovin' #11

I didn't get to blog about my favourites last month due to my internet & Blogger plotting against me so this post is for June & July. A couple of products (The Breakfast Scrub & Zoeva Powder Brush) I didn't get untill near the end of the month but they're already firm faves! If I've reviewed any of the products I'll add links.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution: Not only is this good at removing mascara but it's always on offer which make's it really affordable. It's often BOGOF or half price so stock up when you can. (link)
YUKO Anti-Frizz Shampoo*: There's nothing better than trying out and falling in love with brands I've never heard of before. From the first use I knew this bottle of frizz smoothing amazingness would make it into my monthly faves. It smells lovely and even before adding conditioner I could tell this shampoo ment business.

Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub: I've never been a big fan of Soap & Glory but last year I tried Pulp Friction for the first time and loved everything about it apart from the scent. Fast forward a few months and I'm a die hard The Breakfast Scrub lover. It smells like maple syrup, the scent is really addictive, and the scrubby bits are so densely packed that you get one helluva exfoliation. I always thought this was an oily scrub that would leave an oily residue on my skin but it isn't. It rinses away clean but doesn't leave the skin feeling stripped.

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara: I've read a lot of mixed reviews on this mascara. My lashes without mascara look as if I've straightened them and not many mascara's actually curl and manage to hold a curl so I stayed well away untill finding it in a local outlet store for £2.99. It's the best £2.99 I've ever spent, my lashes love it! It's nice and black, lengthens, holds a curl and doesn't flake or irritate my eye's at all. I'll be going back for more.

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque*: This beauty has made it into my Holy Grail list. It's fantastic! Expensive but worth it, I'll make sure I'm never without this product. You can read more about it's magic powers here.

MAC Paint Pot 'Painterly': Another product I'd thought about getting for the longest time but never did untill a few weeks back. If you're like me and get bored from all the constant MAC fangirling and have no desire to jump onboard that bandwagon or try anything from the brand, please make this the exception. It's a fantastic product and something I reach for on an almost daily basis. It blanks out discolouration/veins on the lid and can be worn alone for a clean eye look or used as primer.

Diesel Loverdose: Diesel fragrances don't usually get my attention but last year I fell in love this this after receiving a sample with a Debenhams order. I have a 30ml bottle that lives in my bag but treated myself to this 50ml bottle last week when it was reduced to £20. It's one of those scents that last all day and always get you some compliments

100% Pure Lip Glaze 'Peach Bellini*: Gorgeous products, gorgeous packaging, gorgeous brand. Most natural make up brands I've tried haven't been very good. The colours are usually boring, lack pigmentation and the textures are questionable but not with 100% pure. I wouldn't have known this was a 100% natural brand if I'd tried the products blind. This lip glaze sits somewhere between a tinted lip balm and a lipstick. It's buildable, you can get an almost opaque finish and the colour is just lovely.

Zoeva 106/Powder Brush: I haven't tried many powder brushes and even thought I've only had this for around a week I can already tell you it's the best I've ever tried. I'll try to get a more detailed post up soon on this and the pencil brush.

Review: YUKO Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner

This review is long overdue! I had never heard of this brand before receiving the products but I fell in love with this duo from the first use. I've been using them for a few months now and couldn't be happier with how they make my hair look and feel.

YUKO Anti-Frizz Shampoo* & Conditioner*

YUKO is a hair straightening brand created in Japan by Yuko Yamashita in 1996. Yuko was a hair stylist and salon owner who wanted to solve the problem of unruly, frizzy hair that needs to be restyled every morning. 16 years later and Yuko Hair Straightening is still going strong but there's also a whole host of products to keep your hair happy at home. If you're a Frizzy Lizzy like me, you'll love them!

Out of the 2, the Anti-Frizz Shampoo* is my favourite. If your hair is in dire need of a moisture boost like mine, you're going to feel such a difference from the first use. The shampoo uses a unique blend of natural plant extracts to gently cleanse the hair and scalp but at the same time it adds moisture, restores shine and I can instantly feel how much smoother my hair is. My hair feels clean without being stripped and even before using the conditioner I'm able to to work my fingers through my hair from root to tip. Both the shampoo and conditioner have a really pleasant scent, it's almost fruity and lingers on the hair untill the next wash. The shampoo is really concentrated, you only need the smallest amount to create masses of bubbles so I can see this bottle lasting me long time as I only use it once/twice a week.

If you have thick, unruly, frizzy hair you will love this duo but those with fine hair might find it makes the hair look a bit limp if used more than twice a week. I don't have this problem but because it adds so much moisture to the hair I'm assuming it could cause fine hair to fall flat. The Anti-Frizz Conditioner* is really good too but I'm not as smitten with it as I am with the shampoo. I've found other conditioners that work better for me but it still manages to tame my mane a lot better than most brands out there.

Both products used together, or even the shampoo used alone leave my hair looking incredibly healthy thanks to shine they add. They seems to temporarily seal split ends, keep frizz at bay and help any style remain smooth untill the next wash. The shampoo paired with my beloved Macadamia Deep Repair Masque are a match made in heaven, they're a frizzy girl's dream!

Have you heard of YUKO before?

Both products cost £12.50 each and can be ordered directly from yuko-london.com
