Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo and Conditioner- Review

I have been experimenting with my hair care products since so many years, I had really long hair ,when i say long , i mean Black, thick , naturally straight long hair , But as soon as i was in college i got them chopped i was so impressed with rani mukeerjee's hair style in kuch kuch hota hai, Not that they didnt suit me, i looked nice but i still regret getting them so short . Big mistake ! I was in living in my college dorm house, 10 hours drive away from my mom, so i didnt take care of them as much as i should had,i dyed them crazily , i got highlights, sometimes low lights, sometimes dyed them red, sometimes purple, i went crazy
Result : Thin , weak hair
I have now long hair, i guess they reach my waist, They are still shiny, silky and straight but not as thick as they used to be. I have has hair fall problem last year so i am very carefull with my hair products now. meaning no straighteners , no harsh chemicals and no more experimenting. 




I was really excited when i got  Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo  and Botanical Shine Conditionerfor dry or damaged hair   in mail a month ago.

If you read a lot of beauty blogs, you'll have probably have read reviews on the new Liz Earle Botanical Shine shampoo and conditioners.As most of you know I am a fan of Liz Earle skin care range so was very excited to try her new haircare range. 



So shall we start with the review?


First the Packaging - Liz Earle hair care range comes in big squeeze-y  tubes , which contain (200ml of product in each) . These tubes are easy to user when you are taking a shower or bath ,  and the amount of product which comes from the tube is appropriate, but as i have bit long hair so i have to squeeze at least twice to get desired amount.

Both of these products have very unique and beautiful smell, & I do love the scent 
The smell can be described as authentically herbal, The shampoo has bit more of smell then  the conditioner , it has refreshing scent of Orange Citrus. if i have to describe the smell in one word, it is : comforting

 now the texture , the shampoo has a clear gel  consistency , which lathers well keeping in mind that it is SLS/SLES-free / silicone-free . and conditioner is more like a thick cream.

Final say : I have to admit that i love Botanical Shine Conditionerfor dry or damaged hair more than the shampoo, i feel that shampoo used alone made my hair bit dry , and but when these two are used together , than this gives the most perfect shiny , straight dangle free hair ever + smell great together. They give my hair a fresh smell, leaves my hair clean, soft, shiny.The range has one shampoo that should suit everyone and then three conditioners, for Normal, dry and oily hair.I am impressed with the amount of lather considering it is SLS and SLES free product.
So i would  for sure recommend the duo , yes duo. Because i would re purchase the duo if possible.


Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo costs a surprisingly reasonable £7.50 for 200ml, from the Liz Earle online shop or other stockists.


Will you be trying the Liz Earle haircare range?

L’Oréal True Match foundation - Review



 In true-to-skin shades across warm, cool and neutral tones, True Match liquid foundation perfectly matches the colour and texture of your skin, hiding imperfections with its micro-fine, creamy texture.

The result: natural looking, skin-true colour, outstanding coverage with no caking.


I first  bought L’Oréal True Match foundation almost 3 year ago, i was using Revlon color stay back then but i hated it and threw it away , when all i knew about makeup was foundation and lipstick. I had no idea that foundation can have different types of formulas or coverages.I always thought foundation only comes in few shades,until i was roaming around in HKB ,dha one day and i was looking for a foundation because i had to go to an afternoon wedding straight from work. I swatched it ,( i wasn't even aware of word"swatching":) and i was like "wow" the shade is perfect. I was sold. I bought shade Nude Beige.
I loved the shade, it was shade made in heaven for me.But one of cousin was getting married and she loved it so much ,she asked me get one bottle for her but when i visited HKB after 6-8 months to purchase same foundation for me as i gave away mine to my cousin as she loved it so much, there was NO L’Oréal products available. This foundation wasn't even available at Alfatah. I was shocked.
But i got shade Rose Amber from color collection DHA few months ago, it was tad bit darker but i got it for myself .

I was reading Skin Deco's Post on same foundation and i came across this info that L'Oreal has shade-matching system for various skin tones where G (Gold) is for warm, R (Rose) is for cool, and N (Neutral) is for neither warm or cool. 

Swatch -Rose Amber
 Loreal True Match Foundation doesn’t feel heavy unlike other liquid foundations. The coverage is light - medium but its build able and to be honest it loved the coverage back then. My skin wasn't suffering so much and all i needed was 1 or 2 pumps and i used my hands for applying it. My foundation routine was done in 2 mins. I  would highly recommend you  to apply Loreal True Match Foundation with your clean fingers.I need only the smallest amount and applying this on the face.



I read somewhere that people had problems with it , as it dries quickly but to be honest it had no such problem. I seriously love the way this LOreal True Match foundation glides on smoothly without taking too much of time.It gives a little dewy finish but not too much. One thing i noticed that when layered too much , this foundation can look grayish, so i keep it light.
It comes with a pump so its a plus point , i broke the cap , i still have it but i didnt want to photograph it :P
The foundation comes ins glass container with a plastic, silver pump to release the liquid and a clear plastic lid to cover.


Over all , I think it is good value for money , i bought it for like 800-1000 rs or something , sorry cant remember ,and this foundation will last a long, long time. The range of shades is good, if a little confusing but i hope you got the idea If you are looking for a natural looking skin that looks great then you should check it out.


Do you remember your first ever foundation purchasing experience?
Which was your first foundation?
