Elizabeth Arden -Visible Difference refining moisture cream

So I thought I'd start this off by stating what kind of skin I have, I have Acne and Combination skin, sometimes it will be dry sometimes it will be super oily. So I've got to be really careful of what creams I use on my face as it could break me out. I've been using this for around 3 months now, so I've really tested it out....

And i've got to tell you I am in LOVE this cream. It comes in a glass jar and It's worth every single penny. It glides onto your skin, it doesn't make you feel oily atall, and it just absorbs perfectly. Your skin feels SO soft after using it it's the best feeling ever. The texture of the cream is light and you really don't need much! Mine is still over 3/4 full and I've been using it every day for 3 months, morning and night. I know I am only young but the lines around my eyes? GONE. And dare I say it's helped with my acne too! This was perfect for me when I had oily skin, and when I had dry skin. I apply the cream  before bed, when I wake up and sometimes before I apply makeup. I cannot reccomend this product enough, A* from me.

The cream retails for around £60, but is £45 in Debenhams and I'm sure you can get it much cheaper if you look online.
Let me know if your opinons on it or your favourite creams!

ROAD TO HAIR RECOVERY - ESSENSITY BY SCHWARZKOPF REPAIR CONDITIONER FOR DAMAGED HAIR

SCHWARZKOPF REPAIR CONDITIONER FOR DAMAGED HAIR 1000ml. Woaaaaaaaaah okay guys so this bottle of conditioner is seriously mahoooooooosive! Schwarzkopf claims that the Essensity range " offers tailor made products to cater to the needs of coloured hair which is damaged or dry. It repairs, moisturizes and seals the cuticle for superb color retention, reflection and pure softness". The Essensity range by Schwarzkopf is an organic range which are free from 

• Silicones 
• Mineral oil
• Parabens
• Synthetic fragrances
• Sulfate-free

Anyway, i use this as my "daily" conditioner, it's good but not AMAZING. I do really like this conditioner and my hair has improoved since using it. Downside being that the bottle doesn't come with a pump like other salon sized shampoos and conditioners do. I leave it on for at least 3 minutes, it does make my hair feel softer and conditioned and but not AMAZINGLY soft. It has a odd smell, a natural kind of smell which funnily I really like, I suppose that ties in with the "organic" side of the range. The consistency is runny which is one of the downsides to this product, I feel like I really have to lather it on my hair (About 3 handfuls, bare in mind my hair is just at my collar bones, not long at all) to get enough on my hair to make some difference. 

The 1000ml tub of Conditioner retails for around £40, I got mine from TK MAXX for around £20 (TK MAXX is seriously bargain central!)  If you'd like a smaller bottle their around £10 for 200ml. Overall I do like this product but I wouldn't buy again unless it was on some crazy kind of good deal and certainly wouldn't pay £40.

PROs-

• The fact that it is organic and free from a load of rubbish.

CONs-

• Consistency
• Price

ROAD TO HAIR RECOVERY - AUSSIE MIRACLE HAIR INSURANCE LIGHTWEIGHT CONDITIONING SPRAY

It goes without saying Aussie products are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, my favourite being the 3 minute miracle hair conditioner re constructors, I swear by them. They're affordable, work wonders and smell amazing.

The Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance lightweight conditioning spray for weak, distressed hair promises to protect and detangle "our special formula with a drop of Australian Jojoba seed oil detangles and helps you to protect your hair from everyday wear and tear" is basically a leave-in conditioner. This stuff smells gorgeous, it DOES help to detangle my hair and makes it easier to brush through and does give a little softness but whether it protects my hair, I'm not sure. I also have the Take the heat version of this which protects against heat damage which doesn't smell nowhere near as nice but I feel like it does the job in protecting against heat (Though in my eyes nothing can beat the Tresemme heat protectant spray). I was a little, (only a little!) disappointed in this just because I had such high expectations as all of the other Aussie products are brilliant!

                                   (Sorry for the really dodgy awful quality photos, lol!)

Both sprays by Aussie come in a standard plastic 250ml bottle with a spray pump. The product itself is long lasting, so far i've had mine 2 months or so I use them on a daily basis and it's more than 3/4 full! The sprays are around the £5 mark each, deals for 3 aussie products for £10 are on a lot in places like Asdas, Superdrug, Boots.

PROs-

• Price
• Smell
• Works to an extent

CONs-

• Doesn't live up to other Aussie product standards!

Have you used any Aussie products? What are your favs?
