SENSCIENCE TRUE HUE SHAMPOO BY SHISEIDO

Good morning everyone,

So let's talk colour saving shampoo today. I received an bottle of the newly relaunched shampoo called SenScience from the Shidseido labs and wanted to share my thoughts on it.

Here are some of the more formal details from the press  release

True Hue SULFATE FREE for Colour Treated Hair
300ml $13.29
Formulated with an optimized sulfate-free surfactant system, conditioning silicone blend and sunscreens to gently cleanse and condition colour-treated hair while preserving colour vibrancy by over

98% after 10 washes or 2-3 weeks. Proven to make hair more than 4x stronger after just one use.

A luxurious, conditioning lather gently cleanses hair while protecting haircolour from fading. Leaves hair thoroughly cleansed, moisturized and radiant.

I find this shampoo has a fruity floral scent to it which is ok, but definitely not my favourite of scents in a shampoo. The shampoo it self is quite creamy, but seems to rinse well upon washing my hair. I haven't used just this shampoo the whole time I have been testing it, but what I  can say is that my hair does seem more shiny and vibrant. I luckly got this shampoo mere days after I coloured my hair, so I am able to say if I feel so far it has been effective or not at maintaining my colour.
I  do however find this just a bit heavy for my hair type which is generally quite oily, so I have been alternating between this and another shampoo to keep my hair balanced. I find some days I can benefit from a bit of moisture and then most days I need a shampoo that is for deep cleansing and clarifying.

Also available in the True Hue line is the True Hue Violet shampoo & conditioner for gray, white and pale blonde hair. If you hair really needs help you can also invest in the True Hue colour protecting treatment capsules which essentially help to repair and protect hairs inner structure.

All these products are available now exclusively at salons worldwide, you can also check them out on the web here

I do feel that when it comes to your hair it is best to invest in good hair care. It doesn't have to be super expensive, but it should be helping your particular hair needs and not making them worse. Fortunately for me I can use a lot of products as long as they are not deeply nourishing, but my hair is very healthy and strong, so whatever I am doing to it or for it I will continue. Don't forget as well, your internal health plays a big roll, so make sure to eat foods that will benefit your hair, nails and complexion and of course drink tons of water.

HOPE YOU ALL FOUND THIS POST INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL

HAVE YOU TRIED ANYTHING FROM SENSCIENCE OR SHISEIDO???

HAVE A GREAT DAY TO ALL XO:)

 


  



 

VICHY OIL CONTROL SHAMPOO

I decided to try another brand of oil control shampoo this time instead of repurchasing the Klorane nettle shampoo. However I don't know that this was a good option.

Vichy has brought out DERCOS TECHNIQUE oil control shampoo

On the box these are it's claims

To me personally I don't feel this has helped me at all and I feel in my particular case this was a waste of money. I think I would have been better off sticking to the Klorane brand as nearing the end of that bottle I was starting to notice an overall difference. I am not seeing this sadly with Vichy's product or its claims.

 

 

The shampoo it self is a completely clear liquid that has a mild clean fresh scent similar to that of the Normaderm line, if any of you have tried it.

 

So in closing I purchased this at my local Shoppers Drug Mart, it comes in a 200ml, is paraben free and was on sale for $13.97. I think the regular price is about $16.

 

I will finish this bottle but will not repurchase this product again.

 

Let me know in the comments if you have tried this shampoo, and if it worked for you or not????

WELL.CA ORDER #2 ALBA PRODUCTS AND PACIFICA SOLID PERFUME ISLAND VANILLA

I really am enjoying the service and selection available through Well.ca, so if you haven't checked it out yet I highly urge you to do so, you don't know what your missing.

Any way I only have a few items to share today and the first three are from the ALBA line.
 

NATURAL ACNE'DOTE DEEP PORE WASH
So my skin is no where near perfect, but providing I do the right things with it I do keep it looking decent. So Alba has brought a new range of items called Natural ACNEdote. It is formulated with willow bark which is where Salicylic Acid is naturally derived from. It gets in there and cleans out your pores and is suppose to keep fighting breakouts after you rinse, but that claim is not working for me. I find the liquid rather runny so be careful when squeezing some out. Once you get it lathering I find its creamy and foamy and rinses really well. Your skin feels nice and clean and cool from the peppermint oil in it. However be careful as this is one of those ingredients that can trigger irritation to the skin which can also be counter intuitive to the purpose of this product.

 

So if your looking for a more natural skin care option for your problem skin then Alba is worth a shot. It is oil free, certified organic, natural fragrance and cruelty free.

It comes in a 177ml bottle for $14.99

 

 

HAWAIIAN COCKTAIL BODY WASH (MAI TAI)
So last time I reviewed an Alba body wash that was creamy Pina Colada and it has become a household favourite. However we always want to try other things. The Mai Tai body wash is less opaque and creamy, but still gives a great lather and the smell is intoxicating. It is quite a lot like the drink. Which for those who don't know Mai Tai in Hawaiian means "GOOD" and this body wash is just that.
I smell the lime and it also has hints of a "Shirley Temple" drink like the grenadine syrup and maraschino cherries. Its so yummy it makes you want to run in the kitchen and shake up a drink.

This body wash is good for normal to dry skin and comes in a 355ml bottle for $8.79

 

 

 

NATURAL HAWAIIAN SHAMPOO GLOSS BOSS (HONEYDEW)

Right away when you start washing your hair with this you get that intense kick of honeydew smell. It helps revive and add shine to hair that has become dull and lifeless due to residue and often salts and sulfates that are in many other brands of shampoo. Other beneficial ingredients are Awapuhi (wild ginger) and Pineapple that help restore the shine your hair is lacking .

 

I like this shampoo because it gives a nice gentle clean without being over powering.

All Alba products are organic and cruelty free and come in a delicious range of tropical scents.

This shampoo is suitable for all hair types

 355ml for $9.99

 

 

Last thing today is an item by the brand PACIFICA. This is a solid perfume that can be rubbed on your pulse points and leave you smelling oh so yummy. There are about a 25 scents to choose from on Pacifica's website and 5 available through Well.ca , I opted for ISLAND VANILLA. This is a beautiful blend of fruity Tahitian vanilla melding with the warmth of bourbon vanilla for a true island experience. However I do find you have to reapply if you want the scent to last any length of time.

 

If your looking for a more natural, earth friendly fragrance make sure to check out the Pacifica line. The products offered are 100% vegan, no animal ingredients, cruelty-free, Free of parabens, phthalates, mineral or peanut oil.

In the future I will be giving the eau de toilette a try to see if the lasting power is any better.

 

This tin is .33oz/10g and is $8.99

 

 

I really hope you all have the chance to experience some of these products if not all of them.

KLORANE SHAMPOO WITH NETTLE FOR OILY HAIR

Welcome back,

Todays post is about a hair care product, which is the KLORANE shampoo with nettle for oily hair.

I have no idea what is happening with my own hair as of late??? it could be any number of factors causing the issue. However I cannot take it anymore and I had to find something to help me out.

After doing a bit of my own research on line and having read about this product in magazines I decided to give the Klorane nettle shampoo a try. At this point what did I have to lose.

This shampoo comes in a 6.7 fl oz./200ml bottle. It is a lucid green liquid with a gentle herbal scent which is quite nice and not over powering.

 

 I do find I see a difference to a point. During the course of the day, my hair seems to hold up better to many environmental factors and my hair doesn't seem as oily near days end. However every night once I sleep I wake up and my hair is really oily and I can't seem to figure out why. I only use 100% cotton pillowcases and have not changed any laundry products recently. At the moment the only thing I can think is that it may be something hormonal.

 

So do I think this is a good product? Well I think it's a decent product that has helped a bit, but may work better for other's who's own unique situation may not be as over the top as mine. I find to get it really lathered you need to use a fair bit. You can purchase this at any SHOPPERS DRUG MART for about $12 or I am sure you can find it at other pharmacies in your own area.

 

A few things to point out about Klorane as a company is that they only use NON-ENDANGERED plant species and ensure to maintain the ecosystem balance when harvesting the plants. The only thing I did notice is there are paraben's in this shampoo, which in turn is not helping people or the planet.

 

Klorane is a company that has been around for 20 years and they also teach children through a series of workshops called "DISCOVER THE PLANT" in which children are taught the importance of plant preservation and heritage. To date more then 5,000 children every year have had the opportunity of these workshops and I commend the Klorane institute for their on going efforts.

 

Today is now July 9 and it's been more then two weeks since using this shampoo. I have since run out and decided to give Vichy's oily hair treatment shampoo a try to compare. I'll be doing a separate review on that product as well.

However I also just cut off all my hair, not to say it won't still get oily, but will at least be more manageable.

 

Till next time every one

 

STAY BEAUTIFUL
