John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner
Whether you’re a natural blonde or have your hair coloured or highlighted we think you’ll like this conditioner.
This is such a rich conditioner, which in itself is excellent for blonde hair – it’s very nourishing and has certainly improved hair strength and shine with continued use.
Lightening-wise there is certainly a difference, even after the first couple of uses – brassiness is reduced and swimmers found it helped reduce the swimming pool effect. By the time we got to the end of the tube, hair was definitely lighter, brighter, shinier and in much better condition.

Penhaligon’s to launch new fragrance
Oooh, Penhaligon’s are teasing us again, this time with a new women’s fragrance ‘Amaranthine’…
Penhaligon's Amaranthine
Penhaligon’s describe it as “a corrupted floral oriental for those private moments when everything is anticipation. It opens with a dramatic flourish of spices and tropical green. This unsettling lick of drama is beautifully ambushed by an unctuous accord of jasmine and ylang-ylang, a heady bloom known for its aphrodisiac properties and clove swathed in spices, tea, musk and the rounded beauty of tonka bean absolute”.
Amaranthine will be launched on 12 October, available from Penhaligon’s shops and www.penhaligons.com
Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
It seems to be so hard to find a good eye make-up remover – we kept seeing Nivea’s Extra Gentle remover in the supermarkets, so decided to give it a try.
As a budget remover we feel this is not too bad, but we did have a couple of niggles – despite being ‘extra gentle’ and suitable for contact lens wearers, it did sting the eyes a little which made it uncomfortable to use. It also wasn’t particularly refreshing, which (rightly or wrongly) we feel an eye make-up remover should do.
As far as removing make-up goes, it is very good, though some waterproof mascaras needed more than two or three applications to remove it. However Nivea do have a separate waterproof eye make-up remover in the Visage range.
Overall, a good budget remover, just a little disappointing.

Benefit Hollywood Glo Finishing Touch Facial Glow
We’ve got bit of a thing for shimmer at beautyreviews, so got really excited about this product…
Benefit Cosmetics Hollywood Glo
There’s lots of shimmer to it and it has a bronze tint, but it suits most skin tones – as long as you don’t over-do it! A little will make a lot of shimmer, so dab on sparingly for the best look. It’s best used as a highlighter on the cheekbones, rather than all over.
We also like it when mixed with a liquid foundation, such as Clinique’s Superbalanced Make-up or Avon’s Ideal Shade – it seems to give a more radiant look.
One problem we had was getting it out of the bottle – as with most of the Benefit products this has fabulous packaging and the bottle looks great on the dressing table, but it’s really not liquid enough to be in a bottle, we’d have preferred a jar.
Sadly no longer part of the Benefit range, check out online discount make-up site, such as CheapSmells
