Dove Intensive Repair

Today I am reviewing Dove Intensive Repair from the Dove Damage Therapy range, sent to me from the lovely ladies at the Beauty Bulletin. Dove Intensive Repair for hair, is a daily treatment conditioner. It is a new generation conditioner which also contains a treatment. The treatment contains Fibre Actives™ which penetrate deep inside the hair to repair damaged proteins and the conditioner contains a Micro Moisture Serum which intensely nourishes and seals lifted cuticles, to prevent future damage.

I really enjoyed using this product! It has a lovely fresh fragrance and is extremely easy to use. Plus it comes in a handy container perfect for storing in the shower. After shampooing your hair, apply Dove Intensive Repair to wet hair and leave on for 1 minute. Rinse out and you are done – it is as easy as that! Style as you normally would. My hair was super easy to comb through afterwards and I had a lovely silky finish after styling. My hair is fine and naturally oily, so personally I would probably only use the product every second day.

I also used the Dove Intensive Repair on my daughter’s hair which although fine, is very curly and difficult to manage and it worked extremely well. Her hair was also easy to comb through and not fly away on the ends, as it usually is after washing.

I would definitely recommend Dove Intensive Repair and I feel that it is suitable for all hair types. I feel that it will work particularly well on dry or damaged hair.

Below you can see my video review of the product:

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is a new foundation, Fluidsplash 3in1, I am trying by Model co.  Model co is a cult beauty brand based in Sydney, Australia and is the creation of former model agent Shelley Barrett.

Fluidsplash 3 in 1 Foundation is a revolutionary oil-free liquid foundation that comes with a concealer & eye base conveniently hidden in the lid. What an awesome idea! Now instead of having to carry three products in your purse you just need one! It is perfect for those touch-ups on the run, before a hot date or business meeting. Fluidsplash  feels super light on your skin, giving you a natural dewy finish.

A buildable, deeply hydrating water based formula with over 50% water content that lets you achieve the coverage you desire – a flattering & long-lasting finish without a heavy effect.

Fluidsplash is enriched with Vitamin E & Aloe Vera, making it is easy to blend. The eye base will give you longer wear from your eye shadow and the concealer will help to cover up blemishes, giving you an overall flawless finish.

ModelCo creates premium beauty products for high demand consumers that are smart, quick-fix, multi-purpose and unique. The formulations, applications & packaging are revolutionary and of a premium quality. Each product cleverly combines cutting-edge creativity and technical innovation.

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Lucy Liu! I think I am yearning for warmer weather and pouring through all the photos of celebs across the continent, in their summer gear helps take my mind of the icy weather here! Lucy Liu looks absolutely fabulous in her 50’s inspired halter-sun-dress. The sexy halter neckline accentuates her beautiful curves and I love the striped peep toe that she has paired with the dress and her glamorous oversized sunnies.
