I've never used a colour sealer, but it does make the colour stay in better. Using the whole system with the colour system impeded on my routine, but it was worth a try. The smell wasn't bad or anything, so tolerable enough.
I suppose that, using a product system might be easier for others, but I prefer doing things the way I am accustomed to.
Overall, good price and quality, and effective. It helped me keep the colour in longer.

Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo & Conditioner

The smell was great, like many of the garnier fructis shampoo and conditioners. I'll have to say, that it didn't protect the colour in my hair as well as other hair colour products before. It may be because of my different hair length, because right now my hair is long. It lathers well and isn't watery, so that's a plus.
With the conditioner, I like how it wasn't too thick. With other ones I've tried, sometimes the conditioners are too thick and I'd have to use a lot to distribute it.
Overall the shelf price isn't too bad, it's worth the money because the shampoo and conditioner last quite long. I wash my hair everyday, condition every three, and do an oil treatment bi-weekly, so it lasted me quite long. For me, it would probably last through 2 hair colourings or so.

Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Colour Cream Hair Color

I got chosen for the product review club, and I found this hair dye great. It was the first time that I ever dyed my own hair so I had no idea what I was doing. I've gotten it done at the hairdressers and at cosmo, but you've got to try everything, I suppose. The instructions were easy enough to follow. I read through it once as a precaution, and then I read through it step by step as I dyed.
I remember helping my mother dye her hair when it came around, and the fumes were always so intoxicating and it would drip everywhere. We always but newspapers on the floor just in case, because one time it did drip through, and we had plenty of fun cleaning it. -_-#
Well, when I used this dye, Brown 40, I chose the closest to my natural shade to see how it matched up. It was creamy and not drippy. Even the ones at the hairdressers can be quite drippy, but they do control that. The creamy texture made it much easier to do it yourself. And I think that's what most people would prefer. Imagine having to call one of your friends or family over to help you dye your hair each time...then everyone would know you do it. :D
Most of all, I don't really prefer really smelly products, but this wasn't too bad. At least it didn't make the insides of my nose feel strange like other dyes.
I dyed my hair the first day I got it. I don't remember how far back that was but I've had it in since. The first couple days I used way too much conditioner. I have long hair so I expected to have to use a lot, but I didn't really need much to cover my hair. But I did run out of the conditioner sooner than I should have because of those first few days. It was a nice conditioner I must say. After I ran out, I used my regular shampoo and conditioner (Herbal Essences for volume). I haven't seen any fading so far, but I wonder, if I went out in the sun a lot. I've been indoors mostly and had no leisurely time for the outdoors. But usually I find that colour fades when you have a lot of exposure to the sun, more so for dark haired people like me, especially because it is more noticeable.
Guess I'll have to wait and see if anything bad happens. Have my fingers crossed. XD

TRESemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner
I really like tresemme. Their products are always quite affordable. And the bottles last me so long. Totally a recommend and worth buying. I think I just love scented things, but this one smelled great too.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo
I'll just have to say, I have always loved herbal essences products. I love the shampoos and conditioners lots. This particular one really hydrated well. Just buy it and you can see for yourself. And of course, it smells great.

This one works quite well. It can chunk up quite a bit though. It smells great as well, usually when i pull out my hairsprays I hold my breath. Only other problem I've had with this was with the tip. I hadn't used it for a while...maybe two months and the tip wasn't working, so I tried taking it apart and putting it back together, but still no luck. So I just put it a way a got another heat serum. A week later I tried it again, forgetting that it didn't work, and somehow it was spraying again. Strange...but worth buying I'd say. -
Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics

Just have to say...love these. They really don't hurt. Their great for kids with sensitive scalps. Like pulling on hair to french braid is painful for some kids at first, but if you just tie it up instead, these are really great. And they come out without the pain too. Totally recommend. -
Glysomed Hand Cream
The glysomed creams are great! They moisturize well, but have a thick texture. I prefer using the body lotion because it isn't quite so thick and absorbs faster, but that's just my opinion. The smell isn't too bad, but just to say... +
The glysomed creams are great! They moisturize well, but have a thick texture. I prefer using the body lotion because it isn't quite so thick and absorbs faster, but that's just my opinion. The smell isn't too bad, but just to say, don't use it in a moving vehicle. One time I put some on in the car and it was really nauseating. But totally worth the buy if you don't get car sick so often like me. -
Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion
I got one of these free, and then I bought two other kinds. They smell really great and work well. But pricewise, for the amount you get, I don't think it's the best out there. It's great for moisturizing anytime, and I carry mine... +
I got one of these free, and then I bought two other kinds. They smell really great and work well. But pricewise, for the amount you get, I don't think it's the best out there. It's great for moisturizing anytime, and I carry mine around wherever I go, because the size of the bottle isn't too bad either. Of course, I love the Vaseline brand lotions because they always work so well for me. It's worth buying to try, but for continuous use...I don't think it's worth it for the price. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
This apricot scrub works great. It makes your skin feel smooth and soft after using it. When even I need an exfoliator, I buy this one because I know it works for me and it smells lovely too. But like with any exfoliator, don't scrub too... +
This apricot scrub works great. It makes your skin feel smooth and soft after using it. When even I need an exfoliator, I buy this one because I know it works for me and it smells lovely too. But like with any exfoliator, don't scrub too hard, just gently. This product is definitely worth trying and you might even stick to it like me. -
