I got the refill, you can see the bottle and read the original review here. This is so far my favourite cleansing oil. It's thick, it emulsifies nicely, I don't use up a lot at once and it doesn't make my vision foggy nor irritate my eyes.

My lips are drier than usual and since I only had Palmer's Swivel stick and Laneige Sleeping mask (both are not sold here, which sucks when they run out), I explored our drugstores for some good enough options (aside from Sun Dance's SPF 50 version, I haven't bought a lip balm here in a very long time). I got this because of ingredients, as it has shea butter high enough on the list and it overall looked good, but it just reminded why I haven't bought a lip balm here in ages. It' precisely the type of formula I don't like, meaning that typical hard, waxy formula that doesn't get soft even after I broke through the top layer - basically like most lip balms in a stick, which won't annoy any of you, but it does me. Palmer's is so much softer and to me feels more nourishing, while this feels like it's just protecting the lips from drying out, since it's just a layer of waxy-feeling product on the skin. It still fixes dryness, but compared to Palmer's this isn't an instant relief to me. If you love the classic blue Labello (Nivea), you'll love this too and it smells great with one of the best honey scents I've tried (I smell no ginger). This ended up in a coat pocket where I'll likely never use it.

Now this, which I got at the same time as Biobaza, I really like. It's actually surprisingly good and comparable to Laneige Sleeping mask on my lips. Now mine are not super, super dry, I get some dry flakes and rarely my lips crack at the corners, so it's possible Laneige is more effective on chapped, so-cracked-they-bleed lips, but I wake up with the same non-flaky, smooth and soft lips as with Laneige. It comes in a pump packaging, which I've never seen at lip balms before, but I like it. You'd never expect it to be an intense treatment given that the texture is quite light for a lip balm, it's close to a lotion, but it works. I apply a rich coat of product, which is white like a face moisturiser has been applied on the lips, but it becomes clear in time. It stays on the lips ok, but not as Biobaza, which due to thickness sticks for many hours. There not much shine, certainly not like at Laneige Sleeping mask, which is like a gloss. Scent is faintly pepperminty, but it's very mild, it doesn't last long and there's zero tingling. I like this, a lot and I've been using it every day since I got it almost a month ago.

BALEA Cremeduche 

This merely ok. It doesn't say what it smells like and I didn't test it in the shop, but it I think what I smell is a combination of either roses or peonies with raspberries and possibly some citrus. It's a fresh, somewhat sweet floral scent. Nothing to write home about.

BALEA Cremedusche 

I got two more of these. Like I said some time before this finally a great scent Balea/DM has done. Usually I use their limited editions and never think about them again, but this one stands out. To me it smells like a powdery white chocolate with coconut.

AVEO MED Sensitiv Shampoo 

A repurchase, well at least I think it's the same one I've bought last time. The packaging is different, but it's pH 5,0 and it says it has sea minerals, there were no other similar ones. I featured this in my Best finds in 2020 post, I really like this for my dry hair because despite the fact it doesn't have silicones, it leaves my hair with a similar silky feeling as L'Oreal Extraordinary oil. If I had to pick one product for hair, body and face (for travelling for example), this would be it.

This is a coloured shampoo that is meant for refreshing violet hair (for example if you're using Schwarzkopf Got2B Farb Artist hair colour in Blueberry Lila) or creating a pastel effect on blonde hair. Don't expect a very vibrant colour, but I got a nice pastel on my lightest blonde hair, on darker parts it was already not deep enough to cover it. I applied a lot, first lathering it up so it covered all the hair, then I just applied without lathering like I would a conditioner and left it on for 5 minutes. I used for the second shampooing, so it would lather up easier, first was done with Aveo. It leaves the hair with that nice silky feeling, like I just used a conditioner which is very good. It's not nearly as intense as Colour Refresh, but faster to use if you want just a light pastel. However, there is a problem that is starting to concern me - I've washed my hair three times already and the colour isn't coming off. I fear it permanently tinted my lightest hair, but it says it should last 8-10 washes, so we'll see if I can get it off in more washes. This also exists in pink and silver.

I'm a big fan of the shampoo from this line, so I got the mask to try as well, especially after I've seen a picture of how intense it is (most I tried were pale lavender). This makes my level 8-9 blonde (so not the lightest) into a steel grey-blonde, so super ashy, kind of one of those modern ultra-cool shades. On my roots where my hair is slightly darker with stronger warm tones it's passable, but it doesn't cool it down completely. I leave this on the suggested 5 minutes, as I fear due the strength of the pigment it may leave my hair overly cool or purple. This can tint the skin, especially on the scalp can you miss a purple patch that is then visible on the parting. It doesn't leave that silky smooth feeling when I'm rinsing it off, though the formula is thick and it feels rich, so in terms of nourishment it's not my favourite. In terms of toning effect It's good, very comparable with Subrina Diamond Blonde, though that one is even stronger, but this is available worldwide. Ingredients-wise it's not the most impressive of L'Oreal's masks, as, I miss arganine, proteins and ceramides they have in a lot of their other formulas.

So Balea blatantly copied got2b and created their own frizz eliminating "magic mascaras" that just like got2b does what it promises. You simply comb down the little flyaways and this smooths down the hair and keeps it in place. I have harsh standards when it comes to calling something a dupe and this isn't it, but for those who aren't that bothered will see it as the same product. There are differences between got2B and Balea. Number 1: the brush. Got2B has a plastic one that I find nicer than the classic one from Balea. It combs the hair neatly easier, but more importantly it doesn't deposit too much product at once like it can happen at Balea. Number 2: ingredients. Balea's has alcohol high on the list. Not super happy about it, but I got it anyway. If I had none and I weren't a curious beauty blogger, I'd get got2b because of that, as my hair is very dry. Number 3: amount. Balea's has 10 ml and got2B 16 ml, but Balea's is still cheaper per ml. Also got2b has a lovely peachy scent, while Balea has nothing (special). In terms of performance they work very similar, both smooth down the flyaways like nothing else and keep them down, but got2b's truly feels like nothing on my hair (I don't know how it works on thin hair that gets greasy fast), while at Balea you can tell there is a thin coat of hair gel on. The latter is more connected with the brush, as like I said Balea's applies more product, so you need to be careful not to end up with a part where it looks like you applied a heavy coat of gel, so wipe the wand off a bit before application and it should be fine. But again, this is another great product that would can carry in your bag or even pocket and fix those flyaway situations us with naturally wavy, curly hair know all too well, especially on rainy days.

This is hailed as a dupe for Carolina Herrera Good Girl, which as you can see I also have, but checking the notes on Fragrantica revealed one crucial difference - Miss Dream doesn't have patchouli, so I got this in the hopes that I'll like it more than GG, to see how it compares and if I happen to not like it, I'll at least have a spare gift set for when the occasion arises. I compared these side by side, one of each arm and I'll say that yes, Miss Dream certainly has those Good Girl vibes. Spraying this you definitely say "yup it's the same thing", as it instantly fills the room with the Good Girl trademark spicy sharp + warm tonka bean fragrance, but it's at close inspection that this somewhat fails. Close to the skin is where the difference lies between these, as Good Girl is notably richer, very likely due to patchouli, while La Rive ends up a watered down version of it, more fruity-vanilla than a kind of a spicy fabric softener that GG develops into and as time passes the differences starts to grow. Good Girl lasts longer than La Rive, it stays more spicy warm, while Miss Dream ends up this basic scent that doesn't stand out. So obviously I don't consider this as 100% dupe, how could it be when it's missing patchouli (also the reason I got it in the first place), but for 10 € you get something very close at least for the first hour and at such a low price, who cares if it doesn't last quite as long, you simply spray it again (it's a 100 ml). This is also sold individually without the deodorant.

I never had one of these and I've never tried any such extractors. I'm not sure what the common consensus is about these, but I've always had it in the back of my mind that you shouldn't use them or whatever people are screaming on social media at the moment, but I got myself one anyway because no face mask, BHA products, AHA products or anything at all has made a difference and though I suspect this will neither, I'm giving it a try (and failing so far). I use blackhead patches very rarely and while they pull stuff out from the pores, they just don't look any different. I haven't used this much, to be fair I don't really know how too as when I try it, not a lot comes from the pores and I don't want to be rough. I haven't tried to use it on white spots as I tend to leave those alone and wait for them to dry or use a corsx patch. I can say that this feels well-made and it wasn't too expensive.

I didn't open this, but I went to check reviews if it's worth trying it out. It's a regular mascara and you know I'm generally not fond of them, but I see reviews are positive. It has a 4.3 stars on Ultra and for a mascara that's high. Well see if I'll give it ago. Honestly I just know it's not going to hold a curl and I just don't like trying such formulas even if they have a very voluminous effect.

I'm a fan of Boosting Hydrating concealer as well as of the Masterclass foundation (based on a sample), so I was happy to see this, especially, since Porcelain looked my shade. 

Texture: This is a typical formula for a concealer in a pot, meaning thick and very high coverage. Formula needs some warmth to melt, but you get enough pigment on the finger quickly. It's a creamy, thick formula that if I just got straight to applying it without thinking about a proper base, it's flaky on me. I find that only if I use my thickest moisturiser, which is Balea's Vital night cream, this works for me. With Balea cream and a careful slow application where I tap the concealer on the skin and avoid any swiping I can get it to look ok, but this is just not a concealer for my dry skin. I think this would suit oily skin best. I used to have theBalm's concealer and they are about the same. 

Coverage & finish: It covers a lot, it's pretty much full coverage and excellent especially for red blemish marks, but on me it's obvious on the skin. I much prefer the lighter, more hydrating Booster concealer that melts into my skin seamlessly.

Staying power: Luckily this concealer starts to look better in time, provided of course I have my heavy cream under it. It lasts ok under the eyes, while it rubbed off my spots in a some hours, but I didn't set it with powder and like I said I wore a heavy moisturiser under it. 

Shade: Porcelain is the lightest shade I've ever tried and it's a bit too light even for me, so if you're looking for something ultra pale, this is it. I dug out my ancient Nars Radiant concealer in Chantilly to compare, but mine was too dried out and possibly oxidised, so it's not a good comparison.  

*WET N WILD Mega Last Matte Lip Color 

These were repackaged. I had several in the previous tubes and have all the swatches and comparisons on the blog, but it looks like several of those shades aren't available anymore, which is a shame because they had some great dupes for famous Mac shades. Formula is exactly the same. It's a thick, hard matte formula that doesn't glide evenly on the lips, so you have to go over a couple of times to fill all the gaps. Finish is properly matte and these will feel drying to a lot of people, though I find them fine, but these really are that remnant of the past, the matte formula that most companies moved away from and are making more comfortable ones. Wine Room surprised me, as I expected a deep reed similar to Cherry Bomb, but it's actually a type of colour I haven't had before, a medium rosy-red, a red that's not very bright and has some pink in it. One of my complaints about these when I got the old tubes was the packaging and though they made them much prettier now with the metal lips, they feel similarly cheap. Again the lipstick doesn't wind all the way down and the closing mechanism is so tight, it's very easy to damage the lipsticks and lose a portion of it.

I liked this immediately, everything the shade and the formula. It's a complete opposite of the matte mega last - soft, creamy, very easy to apply and comfortable on the lips. It may not last as long, but I firmly believe most would pick this formula instead of the hard, matte one of the black tubes. Shade is super pretty, a very natural looking lip colour for me. Big fan of this one.

Beauty World, 3,99 €

This is one long lipliner, but actually it's the same size as Diego Dalla Palma one, so I've seen such a lipliner before, but here you really get a deal because these are so cheap. Formula is a bit on the dry side, but can be applied all over the lips and it's still one of those that you need to sharpen often because it's not super hard. At Berry Red the shade is completely different than you might expect from the colour of the back part, as it's a purple-red berry shade. Willow is a medium peachy-brown shade. Not a good nude shade for me, but it would likely fit darker skin tones better.

I already had this and there is a review together with swatches on the blog. I just don't like this recent Catrice's formulation. It's too tightly packed creamy, so the brush doesn't pick it up and while you can apply it with fingers, I find it a bit harder to blend. I mean it's ok, there's nothing horrendously wrong with it and it's an decent enough drugstore buy, but Maybelline's is simply so much nicer that I just can't be bothered with this one and all of those creamy powdery formulas.

This gets points for looking kinda cool or at least interesting, but immediately when I saw the deep golden shade, I decided I'll probably keep this one for someone with a darker skin tone than mine. Sorry if you were interested in a review. Wibo is a new brand to me, but it's a Polish brand that is sold on Ličila.si or Pink Panda as it's known in some other European countries.

You know I'm a little bit fickle when it comes to ingredients and I did not like the look of fragrance right after the first two silicones and that alcohol high on the list, but it does have a good amount of proteins and actually the texture is very thick, which I always like at a serum. I only had two capsules and one was not enough for my hair, but I used it once on damp hair before blow-drying and once on dry hair. I didn't notice any smoothing effect when I was blow-drying my hair, but like I said one was so small and I use about three times the amount, on dry hair it did what other serums do, so it smoothed down flyaways gave shine and made the hair more pulled together. Reviews on Amazon praise, so it's well liked and it's available in box with 14 capsules.

So far I've only tried one of these wraps and it was from Balea, which was profoundly disappointing and I had low expectations for this one, which turned out to be right. For one I had the same problem as at Balea and that is that due to the length of my hair, the product didn't coat much of my hair no matter how much I tried to massage it in, most of it ended on the top of the head. 35 g should be enough for my hair, but it just gets lost in the cap, maybe it's be better if it had some product in a separate compartment, so us with long hair could apply it on the ends before putting on the cap. There was no self-heating effect either just like a Balea, but the cap was better quality and the sticker held well. Since I wouldn't get it all over the hair, only my top part got the max conditioning effect and it was okay for the first day, my hair felt light and silky, but then it got very dry and I had to apply a lot of oil. I actually had to wash my hair again after only two days to get some moisture back in (usually I wash my hair once a week). It's too expensive for the effect I got, but my hair is so very dry that I'm a bad reviewer as far as an average person is concerned. Maybe on shorter, less dry hair than mine, it's nice, reviews are mostly glowing after all.

*REVOLUTION Scented Candle 

Revolution has a selection of candles as well as diffusers. Finding Balance is said to smell like ginger and lily, at which I smell more lilies than ginger, but the latter gives it a fresh, uplifting kick. These are said to burn 40 hours.

I already have the glove and mini makeup fixer finger pad, which come in handy at times when I do my makeup, but for a full face removal with just water as the manufacturer suggests, these are not effective enough. I haven't opened this one yet, since I think it's the same as the other two and I'll keep it in is packaging until those two fall apart. I use mine when I apply too much blush or more often to clean up the mess under the eyes when I do my makeup as they are nicer to use then cotton pads. Material is a fluffy microfibre, so very soft and even with washing in the machine it doesn't get ruined much, but I mostly just clean these with water, which generally removes all makeup from it quickly. 

One of my favourite concealers. It has a medium-high coverage, it looks good both under the eyes and on spots. I've used it instead of foundation too and it looks really good (better than their proper foundations I've tried). Since I'm pale the shade fits me well, but they only have two and both are light. 

I've gone through several tubes of this and I still like it, but I've since tried their mousse which is for dry skin and I feel it suits me better. This a nice medium thick gel that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry immediately after washing, though in about 5 minutes I have to apply something moisturising. Same goes for mousse, since my skin is normal- dry.

A gentle, fluffy mousse I use as a second cleanser. 

A product I use every day in my night routine. I've said it many times that it helped improve the texture of my skin and now I use it to maintain that condition. It's a light serum product that absorbs quickly and feels hydrating enough that I don't need to use extra moisturisers quickly afterwards. It contains 95% galactomyces ferment filtrate and the rest is niacinamide, panthenol, glycerine, hyaluronic acid, allantoin, adenosine and a couple other ingredients, but no fragrance.

This not my favourite cleansing oil because it's thin and I need to use a lot of it, plus it's not the best for removing eye makeup. However, it's still the only oil I can get in shops around here that's still reasonably priced and it doesn't break me out. Sadly for me Balea and Nivea's ones are out, so I'm stuck with this. 

My favourite cleansing oil, but I have to order it from Japan. It has a rich formula that emulsifies into a lovely thick emulsion, it doesn't make my vision foggy, nor irritate my eyes and it doesn't have much of a scent. It washes off completely and it's stronger than Biobaza, as it removes all makeup even waterproof mascara and eyeliner, but if the mascara coat is thick, it struggles to get it off and I need an extra cleansing if I don't want to use a separate remover. I need only one pump for my entire face, which is a lot less than Biobaza. 

Repurchase: Yes, I need to order a refill.

One of my favourite skin care products and just like COSRX Galactomyces Essence I use this every day. It's a light toner-like product that's feels hydrating and is great for layering. It contains ceramides, Job's Tears extract, 3 types of hyaluronic acid, collagen and amino acids. Bottle has a very generous 500 ml which lasts a long time. It's fragrance free.

One of my favourite skin care products from local drugstores and by now just in general. It's a light serum with tons of pink shimmer and this gives a very natural, subtle radiance to the skin. It has hyaluronic acid and a form of vitamin C. My skin is in great condition when I use this. It's a part of my morning routine and I apply it every day. 

A serum with 1.5% hyaluronic acid that I thought was just average. It has that obnoxious texture I've seen at Hoffer's hyaluronic serum where it's thick and leaves a film on the skin, but it's cheap and is sold in drugstores. If you're not on a budget, Hada Labo's is significantly nicer on the skin, also both Cezanne and COSRX Essence have plenty of HA.  

I love this, but I got the last two in my local DM because they removed this from the shelves (this is still on DM's website). It's a medium thick cream that I use all over the face, not just on pigment marks (which I don't have anyway) and surprisingly one lasted me quite a while, despite the tube being so small. It works really well with my skin, it keeps it looking heathy, clear and it has a glow. This has niacinamide and vitamin C.  

Repurchase: Like I said I got both I could find in my local DM. They should last me a while until I find something similar. To be fair CV's Pink Glow serum has a very similar result on me anyway. 

My favourite moisturiser. It has plenty of niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and a bunch of other extras. Texture is a medium thick gel that I can make it work under makeup, but I preferred something lighter and this was my night-time moisturizer. 

Repurchase: Yes, but it takes so long now to order from Asia that I got Olaz and Balea instead, both with a lot of niacinamide. 

One of the nicest sheet masks that's sold here. The sheet is so comfortable and soft, it's just a delight to use this one, a true pampering session. In terms of results it's pretty much just moisturizing. 

One of my favourite sheer masks. It gives a nice glow to the skin and it's nicely moisturizing. 

These eye patches have niacinamide (4th), adenosine (5th) and bit of Ascorbyl Glucoside (a form of vitamin C) on the ingredients list. They don't stand out from other patches from for example Yeauty or Oriflame, which means they are another really nice ones. Lovely to use when your eyes are tired because they are nicely cooling. They are nicely moisturising and a tiny bit plumping, just enough to hide the smallest lines for a while. I'd consider buying these again, though they are so expensive, especially compared to Yeauty, which are the same thing, just with no niacinamide.  

 I liked this, a lot. Damn it. This costs 65 €, which is an absolutely insane amount of money for a face cream. It's filled to the brim with peptides, so ingredients-wise this is impressive and texture is delightful - light, yet rich enough and feels great to apply. But that much money for a skin care item is simply insulting.

I've been eyeing this line for a while because based on my experience with sheet masks, my skin really likes products with madecassoside. But this felt too annoying for a face cream. It's thick, but not like a balm, more like how Bepanthen feels. It just didn't want to absorb for forever and I could feel it on my face. 

This costs 120 € full size (30 ml ) - I swear some beauty companies have lost touch with reality. But at least this sample lasted me a good week. It has 0.1% concentrated dose of Retinol 8 Complex, which they say is equivalent to 0.8% of normal retinol. Reviews of people who have used this a long longer than me are glowing, but I can't say much about it after a week and I didn't notice anything except that it didn't break me out. It's very thick, like a balm and I experienced no retinol connected issues such as excessive dryness, sensitivity or peeling. Based on the texture alone, I wasn't a fan because it's so thick, but ingredients are nice. 

This has about the same scent as the fragrance from this line, which has a strong scent of tiare flower. It's a bit less sharp, but no coconut like you'd expect from a beachy collection. Formula is thin and I used up a lot of it at once because it foams poorly, however, it's SLS/SLES free which is nice to see and due to it I forgive the foaming part. It can be used as a shampoo as well and like I said is sulphate-free plus it's silicone-free, but I haven't tried it for that. 

I've gone through several bottles of this. The texture is nicely thick, it foams well and it smells lovely, aquatic floral. 

BALEA Duschschaum 

I've had Balea's shower mousses before and they were amazing. This is not as rich and firm as I remember, or maybe I'm mixing it up with the Dove one which is just fabulous, but argan version I had smells terrible. Still it's a nicely fluffy foam that's nice to use. The scent is more lime than mint and not as intensely citrusy as I expected, it's kind of subdued for such a scent.

Repurchase: No. 

This is one of my absolute favourite moisturiser formulas (aside from Nivea Souffle and The Body Shop butters). It's thick lotion, like a body butter in a tube and it's fantastic for dry skin. It comes in a ton of great scents, I have Twilight Woods still on my stash. I got Country Apple because I couldn't get Champagne Apple & Honey and I thought it's going to be the same, but this was not as nice of an apple scent. It lacked warmth that made CAH so amazing, so next time I'm getting something new.

I got this for the scent, which again no coconut, just tiare with vanilla, so it left me disappointed, but I loved the texture. This is a seriously good body moisturiser. Not a souffle, but a proper cream, medium thick and very good at properly moisturising, including long term results. Once my stash diminishes a bit I'll get the cherry blossom version or one of the other two in the same pot which I hope have the regular Nivea scent. 

I got this so many years ago I don't even remember when, but while I was in the middle of this bottle I simply stopped with the self tanning because I just stopped caring. I found this in the back of my cupboard and I'm tossing it because it's ancient, but it was my favourite and I've gone through a couple of bottles even though this is quite expensive. This and St. Tropez mousse where my favourite, but with this one I got a deeper tan faster. St. Tropez was a more pleasant one to use because it dried fast, but the tan lasted longer at this one. 

One of the best hand creams I've ever found (the other two are the more expensive L'Occitane Shea Butter 20% and The Body Shop Hemp Cream). It's great for dry skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin softer than other hand creams. 

One of better foot creams I've tried, but not quite enough for me. I prefer this one to the 25% urea version, which was like a balm. This one has a  medium thick texture that feels like a good body moisturizer and it's similar to their 5% hand cream, just without the silky feeling. It absorbs relatively quickly for a foot cream. It's got a classic Balea Urea sweet creamy scent. 

My standard deodorant. It does the job and that's what matters. I find stick deodorants are the most reliable on me, but all leave white marks, which I can deal with. 

This smells very similar to La Vie est Belle by Lancome, so a praline-vanilla-patchouli scent and a very strong one. It holds on better than other deodorants, but it is just that and not an anti-pespirant. I actually used this a lot more as a room spray because this really stays in the air for a while, better than most room sprays with the exception of Bath & Body Works'.

This was the second time I used this and I've noticed they changed the material the socks are made of. The used to made of a cellophane-like clear plastic, but now they are opaque white from a softer plastic. They completely fell apart after 45 minutes. Again I got the same result which is only where the skin is thin it peeled off. It started after 7 days and lasted about 2 weeks. Where my skin is thickest and I'm struggling to get to remover even with an electric file, this did absolutely nothing. But it's a way to remove skin from the instep and on the top of the feet. 

I gave these to mom who used them on the same day as I did Balea. These have "cellophane-like" socks and need to be worn for 90 minutes, so 30 more than Balea. She got zero peeling, absolutely nothing happened. So this was a total waste.

This was one of my favourite hair products for very dry hair. It was more efficient than coconut oil and it really could revive very dry hair when used as a pre-wash treatment. For use on dry hair, this was way too thick and greasy, which is precisely what made it a great oil to apply before washing the hair. I usually left it on for a day before washing my hair (I really drenched it usually on a Saturday, left it overnight, applied some more on Sunday morning when my ends absorbed most, then washed my hair in the evening). It has shea oil, which on me works better than coconut oil, but it's heavy stuff. Sadly, I can't find it in the shops anymore. I used to buy it in Leclec, but it's been gone for quite a while. I need to find a replacement, but for now I'm stuck with coconut oil.

My favourite shampoo for my dry hair that I talk about all the time. It leaves my hair silky and not tangled. 

An excellent, strong purple shampoo that successfully tones yellow. I use it at every wash, either alone (2nd wash) or mixed with a bit of Extraordinary Oil one because thought it's not drying, it's doesn't leave the same silky feeling, so basically it's just a classic shampoo with a strong tint. 

It's a Pantene mask, so obviously it was great. But equally great as the Repair conditioner, which is cheaper. 

Repurchase: Only if Repair conditioner is out of stock, which won't happen. 

Just read the text above, these two mask are exactly the same. 

My favourite hydrating hair treatment. It makes my hair feel silky and soft unlike other treatments and it saved my hair a couple of year ago when nothing was working. This has argan oil high on the list.

Despite the thick texture, which usually indicates the formula will be rich enough for thick, dry hair, this wasn't amazing. It ok for a drugstore product, but nothing exceptional and not as good as Pantene Repair conditioner, which is cheaper. The only extra benefit compared to other masks is that this claims to have a bonding effect, so something along the lines like Olaplex, but there's only one Olaplex and I'm not sure what Schwarzkopf used here for "bonding" in this one because they are super vague about it. I didn't notice any result it terms of less breakage or it making the hair stronger, and as you know my hair is bleached, so it should benefit most from such bonding products. Olaplex and Matrix Re-Bond are much better. 

I liked this one a lot. It was nourishing enough for my hair and left it in nice condition, its only fault is that the effects lasted two days max.

A fantastic hair mask for very dry hair. It's super thick, basically a balm, so it's hard to spread on the hair, but I managed it with one satchel of 25 ml. Ingredients of this one are great. 

A well-established favourite for my very dry hair. Apart from Cantu, the best conditioner I've found in my local drugstores.

One of best drugstore hair treatments, similar to Pantene in terms of effect on my dry hair, though not quite as good and it's more expensive.

Repurchase: Maybe especially since I've seen some new versions, but like I said Pantene is cheaper. 

Surprisingly this has no silicones, which is not common for Pantene and it has panthenol high on the list, which is a good moisturiser. The effect is pretty bland. It's moisturising, but there are better products that do a bit more (Cantu leave-in cream), still for not so dry hair, this is the leave-in formula I'd give a try because of ingredients and it's light formula. It needs to be shaken a lot during between spraying because it separates fast. 

L'OREAL Casting Crème Gloss 

Hair colour from hell. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but it didn't cover well and it left my hair feeling like straw. I had to re-colour my hair the next day. I'm sticking to Excellence, I don't even care it's a permanent colour and this a demi-permanent, so it's better for the hair, but Excellence leaves the hair is so much better condition.  

I'm a bit disappointed how quickly this washed off (to be fair it's likely my fault because I left Olaplex n.0 + n.3 on the hair overnight, which took a lot of the colour off), but I'm still like the formula. It's ammonia-free, so it was kind to my scalp and the colour was beautiful. I liked that the formula was so liquid because it was easier to apply than others and it wasn't messy. This left my hair soft and in nice condition. The size of the conditioner is a travesty though, 12 ml isn't enough for my ends, let alone my whole hair.
