I have been colouring my hair for a long time, and for the past decade it's been various shades of red, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. I found that picking a colour that matched my current choice did not always result in a colour match, until I started to use Schwarzkopf Live Real Red. Now this is the only colour I use.
It's so easy to apply, gives excellent coverage (including my ever increasing grey hairs), and provides long lasting colour. I have naturally mousey-blonde hair with a lot of grey, and this dye gives me a slightly toned down version of the colour on the box, which I am more than happy with. I'm prone to leaving it too long between colours, and I find that this dye gives me even coverage no matter how much regrowth I have. The price is good too.
My only issue is with the conditioner.....it would be so much better if it wasn't in that annoying foil packet, and maybe if there was a little more provided for weekly applications. Better gloves would also be nice.
Overall, an excellent choice for vibrant, long lasting reds!

I'm naturally mousey-blonde (and grey!) and dye my hair red every 6-8 weeks. Red is so hard to keep vibrant and I have tried many different shampoos that claim to not fade colour. But finally I have found the holy grail! This stuff is excellent. I use it once a week to keep my colour looking it's best.
It does stain things though, like shower curtains and hands, so gloves should be used. Its excellent value as a little goes a long way.

I do really like this product, but I find that it tends to fade my [chemically treated] red hair quite a bit. It leaves my hair super soft and shiny, so I tend to use it a wash or two before I'm due to dye my hair again to give my hair a little moisture boost before I add more colour to it. Its excellent value and I love how it makes my hair feel, but the colour fade is a negative. -

At first I wasn't keen on the smell, but it definitely grew on me. This stuff is lush! I use it as part of my 7 Skins and it is so soothing on the skin, hydrating, and a perfect way to prep the skin before serums etc. During the summer I would keep it in the fridge for a refreshing spritz. Heaven!
My only issue is I find the pump oddly located....almost as if it's too high up from the bottle. But it delivers a lovely light mist. The price is good and a bottle lasts ages; my last one lasted a good four months.

This was just an ok moisturiser for me. It left my skin soft but it didn't deliver the moisture levels that I would like. It can also be used as a primer but I felt that it made applying foundation harder, almost as if it prevented the foundation from going on smoothly, leaving my face a patchy mess.
It was fine as a night time moisturiser but didn't deliver. I did like how it made my skin feel buttery soft but it fell short in other areas. I will not be purchasing this item again

I was already a fan of The Ordinary when I decided to add a retinol product to my routine. It applies really nicely and I experienced no adverse reactions. After a few weeks I could definitely see a difference, especially on the "11" frown lines between my eyebrows. I even did a double take when passing a mirror!
Its excellent value and a great product. The price point makes it accessible for those who may be sceptical about trying such a product.

I have very visible pores and was looking for something that would help smooth my skin and help hide the pesky pores, especially around my nose and forehead. This powder is more than I would usually spend on a face powder, but it is worth every penny! It's very finely milled and goes on to the skin like a dream. Whilst my pores haven't magically vanished, they are so much less noticeable and my skin seems smoother after application.
I highly recommend this powder, although it is pricey for the quantity, it provides excellent results.
