“This shampoo is more than worthy of being a winner. Undoubtedly the best shampoo I have ever used, it left my hair feeling like silk. I kept receiving comments about how shiny and glowing my hair looked too, which was lovely! The consistency, smell and value for money make this shampoo a clear 10 out of 10.”

Why is it the best?
Partner this with the Redken All Soft Shampoo and you’ve got the winning combination. Big hair often can look dry and frizzy but this Moroccanoil Extra Volume conditioner gives you the volume every girl is searching for!
“This conditioner thickened my hair more than any other volume enhancing conditioners I’ve previously used. It had that amazing Morcocanoil scent and managed to add a silky, full bodied and bouncy appeal to my once limp and lifeless hair. A definite winner for me”
Best Hair Masques - L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Intense Repair Masque 200ml
Why is it the best?
Hair laps up the goodness of this make-a-difference masque, a super-source of hydration and intense nourishment. Starring Cuti Liss – a cocktail of vitamin B6, ceramides, proteins and amino acids, this conditioning formula helps to nourish and nurture. Hair feels softer and supple and looks glamorously glossy.
“L'Oréal Professionnel Série Expert Intense Repair Masque is such an excellent product for dry/heat damaged/regularly styled hair. It manages to regain life and moisture to the most damaged and unmanageable of hair. It left my hair shiny, soft to the touch and healthy looking all without making it greasing or weighing it down. You only need a tiny amount making it such great value for money! Absolutely love this product!”
Best Toner - Thalgo Rejuvenating Super Lift Tonic Lotion
Why is it the best?
Is your skin in need of a pick up? Then you need the Thalgo Super Lift Tonic Lotion. A real treat for the skin, this rich velvety lotion is designed to tone and revitalise your skin.
“I could feel it working straight away which I was very surprised at! It feels amazing on the skin and left my face feeling silky smooth. My skin felt alive, with no impurities left behind. It was also very gentle on my sensitive skin. I will definitely be stocking up on this!”
Best Exfoliator - Thalgo Exotic Island Body Scrub
Why is it the best?
Tantalisingly inspired by Maohi traditions and enriched with Tahitian vanilla extracts, this luscious scrub includes Bora Bora sand, sea salt and coconut shell, which gently exfoliate your body. Plus it contains monoï and jojoba oils, helping to leave your skin feeling soft, velvety and cleansed of all impurities.
“With a gorgeous scent, it is always a very therapeutic and pleasurable experience. The scrub worked amazingly at shedding dry skin and revealing a fresh new gleam to the skin. My skin felt soft, glowing and rejuvenated! It’s a little hidden pleasure that everyone should know about!”
Best Cleanser - Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser
Why is it the best?
Forget age before beauty, with this wonder product, beauty is most definitely leading the way. This extremely gentle, pH-balanced gel / cream glides easily over face to cleanse without stripping the skin’s protective barrier. This cleanser is so gentle on the skin that you can use it over closed eyes and lips.
“It has the most divine velvety texture which feels incredible on your skin. You can use a little or as much as you like because it’s able to adapt any skin type. It left my skin feeling fresh and regenerated. I’ve been cleansing for years and experimented with a variety of products but I can safely say that Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleaser stands out from the crowd.”
Best Body Wash - Thalgo Marine Shower Gel 250ml
Why is it the best?
Containing Red Algae, which conditions the skin, this shower gel can be used on even the most sensitive of skin types without damaging your hydrolipidic film. The chrondus crispus softens your entire body, leaving you with nice, smooth skin. Thalgo Marine Shower Gel is an everyday pleasure for your skin, leaving you reenergised and refreshed. Not only does it act as a shower gel, it can also be used as a frequent-use shampoo.
“Some soaps and shower gels can be very harsh on the skin and actually cause them to dry out. This Thalgo Marine Shower Gel has managed to get the combination just right; with no over-powering smell it allows moisture to be retained. I left the shower with super soft skin and a lovely fresh scent. It’s a great investment as you only need a tiny bit and the bottle lasts such a long time. I won’t be returning back to cheap supermarket shower gels anytime soon“
Best Moisturiser - Garnier Ultra Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Day Cream 50ml
Why is it the best?
Enriched with Pro-Retinol derived from nature, Garnier Ultra Lift Day Anti-Wrinkle Firming Cream has been thoroughly and scientifically tested using 3 different laboratory methods to assess its hydrating effectiveness, its action against wrinkles and loss of firmness.
“This moisturiser smells beautiful! I noticed results within a fortnight of using it and my skin feels so much smoother and firm. It plumped up my skin and helped to disguise any lines/wrinkles. I’ve had lots of compliments on my skin since using it. Will be sticking with this for a long time.”
Which one will you try first?! xoxo
