I've dealt with shampoos, conditioners and masks in the first part and in this one it's time for leave-ins, oils and styling products. 

JOICO K-Pak Liquid Reconstructor
This is a leave-in light version of the Reconstructor with Joico's Quadramine Complex that's in the treatment version. I use this often on damp hair after washing and I normally don't notice much effect from this, definitely not like when using the treatment + Hydrator version, but I use it as a sort of a maintainer. When I use it on dry ends between washes, then add oil on top, my ends stay moisturised much longer than usual due to this being a protein products. The bottle is massive with 300 ml which I was so sure it will last me years, but I'm half way down after 9 months I think, so obviously I'm using this a lot. It's a light milky liquid that doesn't weight down the hair, make it greasy or sticky, so it should fit fine, damaged hair like Joico says.

 OLAPLEX No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Crème
This is one of my favourite hair products, but it's expensive and only 100 ml so I'm being sparing with it and just use it on damp hair after washing to deliver some Olaplex goodness (bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate) to restore my hair. It can also be used on dry hair and I really appreciate it because of that. It reminds me of my all-time favourite Dove Super Quench Crème Serum (which I still have bottles of and I use it regularly, but I excluded it from here because it's discontinued), meaning it's not an overly wet formula of a leave-in conditioner, so on dry hair it tames frizz and it doesn't pop back up when the wet part of the conditioner dries. It also nourishes the hair and detangles. On damp hair after washing it's great, as it helps the hair be a bit softer, but more importantly less frizzy. On dry hair it's again tames a lot. It's like my favourite moisturising leave-in/ defrizzer/tamer/ Dove Super Quench got an upgrade with the Olaplex ingredient, but the price is not that nice. Packaging is terrible though, this needs to be put in a tube. 
This is one of the products I have a backup of. 

BALEA Professional Collagen Power Struktur Elixier
One of the cheapest protein treatments I have found in our drugstores that actually has hydrolysed proteins high on the list, so it's basically something along the lines of a poor man's Joico K-Pack line or Redken's Anti-Snap, but scaled down at least compared to Joico with its Quadramine complex. It's a silicone free formula with glycerine as one of the first ingredients, so it combines some moisturising action too with the protein. All proteins are in hydrolysed version which is the most effective version of protein and they are quite high on the list. There is also hyaluronic acid which benefits the scalp and hair too. Formula is like a thin gel that can be applied on damp or dry hair, but on dry hair feels like I applied nothing. I don't notice it makes my hair any smoother and it dries into my usual super frizzy mess if I don't use any extra products, but it's a nice way to add proteins because it's very light and it doesn't interfere with other products. 

LA CROA Keratin Hair Smoothing Treatment
Another drugstore protein treatment, this one has proteins even higher on the list, as hydrolised keratin is right after water, plus it has argan and macadamia oil. This didn't meet my expectations in terms of texture because I hoped it will be something more substantial than Balea, so more nourishing and something with a lot more slip. However, on damp hair this removes all slip that conditioner created and the hair is hard to run through with fingers. I need to combine it with something that is high in silicones if I want to prevent any damage done by going through tangles. I prefer to use this on dry hair because for some reason it feels smoother and not sticky, but I still haven't played with this formula a lot, so I might find a way to make this work great on damp hair too. Formula is a light lotion that doesn't feel oily or heavy, so this might fit most hair types, but I can't say for sure it won't make your roots oily or weight down your lengths. 

CANTU Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Cream
This is less impressive than the conditioner from the same line, but it's good when it comes to keeping the ends nourished. It has the type of texture that can be used both on damp and dry hair, as it's kind of like a combination between a silicone leave-in cream like Olaplex n.6 or Tigi After Party and a regular leave-in creamy conditioner that provides nourishment instead of styling. It works so well on very dry, coarse hair, but sadly it doesn't add that silkiness I get from Tigi Blow-Out or Olaplex n.6 so it's not a perfect product. I prefer to use this on damp hair after washing, though I occasionally use it on dry ends too, but I prefer Garnier's Macadamia mask because it has a bit more slip. 

SEXY HAIR HEALTHY Soy Tri-Wheat Leave in Conditioner
I've used this for years, though now I use it less and less due to having so many other products (like Joico Liquid Reconstructor), which is also likely why I'm dealing with so much frizz again, since this has always helped my hair behave a bit better. I also only have a small bottle because that's the only size Notino had when I was buying it last, but I've gone through several full-size bottles. It adds an extra boots of moisture, helps the hair from drying out too fast and it also tames it a bit. This one also has proteins so it belongs to the group above as well.

MOROCCANOIL Hydrating Styling Cream
This was so not what I expected at all and it's much lighter than I hoped. It's quite liquid, but not overly wet, so it can be used on dry hair too, however, on dry hair I barely get the feeling I used anything. It kind of just absorbs and disappears leaving none of that smooth feeling like an silicone oil does. On damp hair it's helps the hair stay moisturised for a bit longer, but not like Cantu, however, it might be nice for hair that isn't as dry or thick as mine especially since it's so light, I don't think it would weigh down any type of hair. This is just a small tube, but still you get a lot 75 ml, while the full size is 300 ml.  

PANTENE Instant Damage Defense Conditioning Spray Leave-in
My only drugstore leave-in spray conditioner. 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 two-phase design is just like at Gliss Total Repair 19, which I was using in the past and indeed these two feel similar. It doesn't make a massive visible difference on my hair, but I always use some kind of a moisturising leave-in because they keep the hair from drying out too fast. There are better products that do a bit more, like Sexy Healthy Hair, still for not so dry hair, this is the leave-in formula I'd give a try because of the ingredients, it's affordable and it's light, so easy to layer. It needs to be shaken a lot during between spraying because it separates fast. 

Gliss is a another great drugstore option and far more popular, but I haven't bought any in a long time, even though I've used up several bottles of Total Repair 19. I've checked the ingredients of most of their versions and all have proteins. 

Coconut oil 
My pre-wash treatment/ dry hair mender. Coconut oil is not as nourishing as the Le Petit Marseillais with argan and shea was on my hair, which I can't find anymore, so I'm just left with this. Coconut oil is the most treasured oil in hair care since it's so far the only one they know can enter the hair and moisturise it from within, plus there something about it preventing protein loss - just read about it online if you want to know more. I completely soak my hair in this - literally because I dip my hair into liquid coconut oil (it's solid when it's cold, so in winter I put in on the radiator before using it), plus apply a ton on my scalp as well, braid my hair and leave it overnight. By the morning most is absorbed, so I repeat the process and wash my hair in the evening. I also use it on dry ends, but only on a day before washing because it smells terrible on the hair the second day. I always apply a lot before applying bleach or just colouring to prevent any damage. I buy the cheapest one I can find per millilitre and usually it's this one in Interspar.

BALEA Schönheits Geheimnisse Reichhaltiges Cocosöl 
(Beauty Secrets Rich Coconut Oil)
I got this because it's silicone free. This means it's more nourishing and heavier than silicone-oils, it also means it makes the hair heavy, greasy and feeling dirty just like all natural oils, like coconut when you use them every day, but such oils are the best way I deal with the excessive dryness of my ends (also Cantu leave-in, but this leaves the hair with more slip, while Garnier Macadamia works for a day). It's rich, yet not too heavy and it doesn't leave the hair looking overly greasy like coconut oil does. The scent is the same as in their Langhaar Mädchen Haaröl, so a vanilla-coconut scent that's super basic, but better than coconut oil to me, though this one starts to smell weird too on later days, especially if I keep my hair tied up. I'm not sure if this is LE or not.

SILICONE OILS
I use a lot of the stuff, so I have plenty of them. 

JOICO K-Pack Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil
My protein and amino acids enriched oil, as it has the Joico Quadramine complex. Formula is medium thick and very similar to Orofluido, Moroccanoil and Macadamia Natural Oil, so the texture that fits my hair best and I loved this from the moment I tried it. It tames the hair as it should and feels nourishing, so it deals with the dryness too, at least for a while. It's got a really nice salon scent and unlike Orofluido it's got a pump which is a plus. This is one of the best oils I've tried and as you can see I used up a lot and I didn't buy it that long ago. I think the packaging is different now. 

OLAPLEX No. 7 Bonding Oil 
I'm super sparing with this one because it's only 30 ml, but just like Joico I count is as sort of a repairing oil. Texture is not as thick as Orofluido or Joico K-Pack Colour Therapy, but it’s also not very thin. It’s a regular silicone hair oil that gives shine and just help put those finishing touches to the hair, plus it smells nice like some kind of candy. I like the idea that I have an oil with a bond builder, which I use anytime on dry hair and it's the reason why I got it. I dislike the packaging, just like at all Olaplex products - it's like they are trying to make bottles from which you can't get anything out easy (excluding the new no.0). This is also a ridiculously small bottle and it's so expensive I feel completely mental for buying it, but there can never be too much of their bonding ingredient that has very likely helped me avoid terrifying damage to my hair.

SCHWARZKOPF PROFESSIONAL BC Bonacure Oil Miracle Barbary Fig Oil & Keratin Restorative Treatment
I only just bought this, but I'm already quite a big fan. I got it because it has keratin right after the two silicones, making this rich in protein. Texture is medium thick, so again like Orofluido, Joico and the likes, but it's is less liquid, almost kind of gel like. I find my hair is somewhat less frizzy with a ton of this before blow drying and this was just 10.35 € for 100 ml on Notino (compared to Joico which was about 20 €), so this was a great random find. Packaging needs some trial and error to get used to. 

OROFLUIDO Beauty Elixir
I've been buying this for many years and I've gone through quite a few bottles. It's the cheapest good oil per millilitre and it also smells amazing (Schwarzkopf is priced similarly too). To me it's the same as for example Moroccanoil, Macadamia Natural Oil, Joico K-Pack and some others, all are thick and rich formulas that suit my hair. I find that if I apply a large quantity before going to bed, my hair isn't as dry in the morning and it even performs better than regular oil (like coconut) because that one tends to absorb by the morning and my ends need a new dose by then. One minus is that it doesn't have a pump, but I use one from an empty COSRX essence bottle, just the stem doesn't reach to the bottom. It has a lovely warm oriental vanilla-amber scent that's one of the best at these oils.

MOROCCANOIL Treatment
Another one that just like Olaplex I use very sparingly, but this one because it's meant for pictures and I only have a small bottle. Like I said above the texture is very similar to Orofluido, but this is the only one at which I notice that it helps my hair to dry so much faster with a hair dryer and considering how long and thick my hair is that's is a big plus. It's dry in about a 30% less time. I've also grown to like the scent a lot more than at my first try and now I just love it - it smells like a really fancy hair salon to me. 

SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL Dark Oil Hair Oil
Just like Schwarzkopf this is my most recent buy. It's thickest out of the ones I already mentioned, it's like a gel-oil and I got it because it was recommended to as the oil that has the best taming effect. I've only use it once on damp hair before blow-drying and I didn't get the straight, smooth blow-out I expected, however, it is a very heavy oil and it took a lot longer for my frizz to start popping up and it actually perform admirably on my face framing pieces which are very fried due to me testing colours there (that was a brilliant idea). Those pieces are very porous and dry super-fast and very frizzy, but with this they are a lot more tamed. On dry hair it has the same effect as the other oils, you know the classics: taming & shine, but I grab this one most often because I like the non-fussy packaging. Scent is not my favourite because it's very woody smoky, incense-y (the same as BBW candle Palo Salto), but I'll get used to it.

BALEA Langhaar Mädchen Hair Oil Intense Repair
I got this for one reason only: it's 150 ml for 4.99 € making it the cheapest such serum "silicone-oil" per millilitre in our drugstores. I use these oil serums as heat protectants (anything with dimethiconol works) and since I have to use a lot of it, I get the cheap stuff for the job. This is one of the lightest on my list, so it's not super effective on taming the frizz like heavier oils do on me such as Orofluido, Moroccanoil or Precious Argan, but like I said I use it for other things. It's got an obnoxious vanilla-coconut scent that everyone apart from me will surely love (I like more perfumey vanillas and this is more car freshener vanilla, so super basic). For the price and the purpose I use this is good, it's would also be nice for girls with less thick hair than me, but it's not as light as Luxurious Coconut 

SCHWARZKOPF GLISS Daily Oil-Elixir
One of my recent buys. It's one of the thickest ones in the drugstore, actually on this list, though similar to Dark Oil, so it's more like a gel-oil, but less refined than Dark Oil and most will hate it for it. It doesn't even come off the hands completely when I apply it on the hair in a large quantity and leaves a visible yellowish gel coat on the skin. Due to this thickness and heaviness, it's well suited for taming very unruly, thick hair, but on thin hair this will likely be a disaster. This has a very strong scent of laundry detergent that I'm not a fan off, but it's not that terrible and it luckily it doesn't last on the hair for long. 

HASK Argan Oil Repairing Hair Oil
This is actually empty and one bottle lasted me only a few uses, since it's only 18 ml. Still if you don't use oils a lot or you need something small for you bag, this is ok. Ingredients are good with the classic two silicones at the start and argan oil on third place (don't know the percentage, but it's thinner than Moroccanoil with the same first three ingredients) and an extra keratin amino acids on 4th place. HASK has four versions of these, two, macadamia and monoi coconut are similar to this one with a different oil, while Keratin Protein contains two proteins, so I actually see it as a different product than the other three, more like that Joico or Schwarzkopf ones above. It's got a medium consistency, though it's still pretty liquid for a silicone oil and it does its job of giving shine, taming the hair and detangling. I think this formula will work for thin hair too as it's really not heavy and definitely not greasy.

LA CROA Nourishing Hair Oil
We only have 20 ml bottles here, so just like HASK, this won't last me long if I start using it more regularly. It's not as nice their Protect & Shine spray below, at least it doesn't add as much slip, so it doesn't detangle quite as much. It's also lighter than I expected, but I still like this. I need to use a large amount to get the result I want, but it helps with dryness, adds shine and gives a smoother effect. Scent is like at the oil in spray kind of a vanilla one. Packaging is not my favourite, as it has that plastic stopper like essential oil, so you get a drop at time and I need a lot more, so it takes a while to get out the amount I need. I removed it, but to most that stopper will be a good thing because you can control this by drops. 

"THE WORK STUFF"
I don't use these a lot. Some I've only tried because they are meant for pictures. I've used Luxurious Coconut and Createurs de Monoi most because the bottles are dark. 

LUXURIOUS COCONUT Repair All-Over Coconut Hair Oil
This is by far the thinnest on this list, so if you have thin hair that get greasy fast, this might be best suited for you. I need to use a lot of it, especially on dry hair, but it does its job of taming the hair and giving shine. On damp hair before blow-drying this has one of the best taming effects and it has a creamy coconut scent.

PRECIOUS ARGAN Repair Oil Elixir
This is most average one in terms of consistency, so I think it will suit the largest group of people. It's got a medium consistency formula and it does everything any other oil promises, meaning it does the final touches like shine, making the hair more polished with no flyways and it fixes any visible dryness. 

SUBRINA Repair & Care Oil Treatment
This is the richest oil in this selection, almost like it's not that silicone-y and it's best suited for very dry hair. 

CREATEURS DE MONOI Face, Body & Hair Oil
This is a non-silicone oil that consist of jojoba and coconut oil, both very treasured in hair care. It's my favourite regular oil on this list because it smells great and it's the only one that doesn't start smelling weird on later days. It's also the least greasy and my hair completely absorbs it. It's a floral, frangipani scent and not coconuty. 

SPRAY SILICONE OILS
My favourite hair products.

CREATURES DE MONOI Shine Spray
This is discontinued and I've just used it up. It was love at first spray and when I realised I can't get it anymore because it was discontinued, I went out to search for dupes, which I did: La Croa Protect & Shine and Macadamia Healing Oil Spray.  

LA CROA Protect & Shine Hair Oil Spray
I've sung praises to this in the last months and if all of my stash disappeared, this would be one of the first products I would buy. I actually have two backups because I'm at the last sprays of my first bottle. Just like the de Monoi this is a silicone oil in spray, but slightly better because it has a touch more slip to it, meaning it feels even more like silicone serum than an oil. It's an outstanding detangler, a few sprays and the comb or fingers just slide through, Since my hair is naturally kinda curly, wavy, individual hairs or strands get tangled up very fast when it gets coiled/frizzy in days after washing and this makes sure that I'm not breaking any hair when I run my fingers through it or comb it. It's also great for when my hair is feeling very dry, for taming frizz and adding shine. It's lighter than regular silicone oils, still I have my doubts how suitable it is for thin hair. If I use a crappy conditioner, this saves the situation single-handedly. I truly bow in front of this. Scent isn't superb for my nose, but I got used to it, it's kinda vanillary with something else. The bottle is small with only 60 ml for the price and I'm going through it so fast, so it's not the cheapest for me, but I think most don't need to use as much as me. Hopefully this stays on the market for long because I like the fact I have such a nice product easily accessible in Müller, but I have a dupe already too.

MOROCCANOIL Glimmer Shine Finish
I got this before I found La Croa because I thought it's going to be the same as Createurs de Monoi spray, but this is the lightest in the bunch. It also tames the hair and gives a lot of shine, without having alcohol like shine sprays tend to have, but it lacks a bit in the nourishing department for me. It's what it's called - a shine spray, so it's stupid of me to expect any more, plus it smells nice (classic Moroccanoil scent). 

MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL Healing Oil Spray 
My recent purchase. This is the same as La Croa, the only true difference is the scent, but both are amazing at detangling, quick nourishing, taming and adding shine. This basically pulled a miracle when I used it on super frizzy, dry, tangled hair - so much I didn't find a need to it to be straightened or curled anymore to save the situation. This is more widely available worldwide (La Croa is if I know correctly, just in Croatia and Slovenia) and it comes in two sizes, mine is the large 125 ml one. It smells like man's perfume to me, so not my favourite as it lingers in the hair, but I hope I'll get used to it because other people mostly like it. I've already used up a third after a month, so clearly I love this.  

STYLING/CARE

MOROCCANOIL Mending Infusion
I keep this one mostly for pictures and therefore rarely use it, as dropped it once accidentally and now I'm just scared I'll ruin the bottle, since it's a glass one. It's a light, creamy serum type of product, I think it would suit any hair type. It promises to temporarily fix split ends. I think the instructions say to use it on dry hair as a finisher, but I use it  both on damp and dry hair. It tames a bit, but it's not a lasting effect like at their oil and in terms of ends I honestly never paid attention to it. I actually prefer the original oil, however, before I started using Moroccanoil products, my hair was in a pitiful state and they basically fixed it and this was among those products. 

NIVEA Curl Styling Primer
I've kinda fell out of love with this one. There's nothing wrong with it and it's a very decent tamer, it just lack slip. This has shea butter high on the list, plus glycerine, so it's good particularly for dry hair and it's a heat protectant. It leaves the hands slightly sticky, but not the hair and from the start when the hair is wet, it's noticeable on the hair, but as soon as I start drying my hair, it's much less frizzy than without this and it's easier to get a smoother result without having to really on increased heat + round brush. After the hair is dry it's like nothing is on the hair, but it feels noticeable smoother. To be honest, Olaplex n.6 replaced this product for me. 

TIGI BED HEAD Blow-Out Golden Illuminating Shine Cream
I like this more than the Nivea primer, as it's similar in texture to Olapex n.6 and the discontinued Dove Super Quench serum. It's the same as Tigi's After Party, which comes in the same tube, just bright pink, except this has gold shimmer in it. Texture is the same, as is the scent, they just changed the name, colour of the packaging and added tiny shimmer. It's got exactly the texture I like, so a silicone cream that I can use on damp hair and dry hair because it doesn't leave the hair wet and it effective at taming frizz. It's tinted yellow, but it's not showing on my very blonde hair, but also the shimmer isn't that visible on me, though this gives shine just like other similar products. After Party and this are a poor man's Olaplex no.6 that do the same job without the bond building, plus they can be found for a very decent price online. 

L’ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL Serie Expert Liss Unlimited Smoothing Cream 
This is very new to me, but I got it because I was told that it's fantastic for taming frizz and achieving a smooth blow out. I've only used it once together with the Dark Oil and like I said that combination didn't get me the straight, smooth blow-out I expected, however, it took a lot longer for my frizz to start popping up and my face framing pieces looked a lot better. It's a medium thick lotion type of product, not one that I see working on dry hair, so it's just something to apply when the hair is damp. I need to try this on its own a few times, then I'll form my opinion about it. 

NIVEA Curl Forming Spray
This sneakily became my favourite hair spray after I wasn't super keen on it from the start, but that's because of Nivea's bold claims, which are mostly a lie, but if I look at it as a hair spray, this is great. Unlike most hair sprays, it doesn't leave my hair dry. It's perfect for after adding hold after curling the hair with a curling iron, as it's not sticky, crunchy or heavy on the hair. Another great thing - this doesn't irritate my lungs like traditional hair sprays.  

LEE STAFFORD Coco Loco Coconut Hairspray
I fell out of love with this after it was my favourite for so many years, but since I tried Nivea, this is forgotten in my cupboard. It's a medium hold spray with no crunchiness or stickiness, but like I said above, like most hair sprays it leaves me with that dry feeling. It's the same as Lee Stafford's Hold Tight Spray except the scent is an artificial sweet coconut (Hold Tight smells like Angel).

MOROCCANOIL Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair
 I'm not the best authority when it comes to dry shampoos and how they work on greasy hair, since my hair is never greasy, so I won't mislead you into thinking it's a greasy hair eradicating miracle worker because I genuinely have no idea, but I have read reviews and it's mostly praised, so the overall score on Makeup Alley is very high. Still, this is my favourite because it's the most fine dry shampoo I tried. Other dry shampoos leave me with that powdery feeling that makes the hair drier and stiff, plus I need to wash my hair soon, while this shampoo feels so silky. My hair still feels so light and smooth after using this, but fresh and clean like at other dry shampoos. Basically there's none of that  "dirty, gritty dry shampoo" feeling. Another big plus is the scent which is one of the rare ones that doesn't have that sharp component in it, I don't know what exactly it is, but it's in most of them and it makes me gag. At this I don't cough at all. I have the one for brown hair, which ironically wasn't the best shade for my dark brown hair, while it fits my current blonde. 

I've had several dry shampoos from Batiste, Soap & Glory (I still have a mini. It's smells nice), L'Oreal, Dove, Wella and Syoss, but I gave most away to people with oily hair and I've kept this one because I like it.

MOROCCANOIL Perfect Defense
A heat protectant in a spray. It's a weightless mist that's quick and easy to apply. Sometimes I double up on my protection so I make sure all my hair is completely covered and this mist gets those last spots I might have missed when applying my usual heat protectant by Balea.

GOT2B #Oh My Nude Tame it Softly Dry Lightweight Oil Mist
Another oil in spray, but this is the lightest one and it's the same as their Oil-licious version that still exists in some places, while we have this here. I call this my shiny, healthy hair faker. If dry shampoo is a quick saviour for oily hair, this is a such a product for dry hair. It gives great level of shine, tames frizz and just makes the hair look more polished. It's pretty much like a regular silicone oil, just lighter and faster to use, so best for finishing touches when you've already used hair spray or wax and you don't want to touch you hair much anymore. I use it any time I'm a pinch to make my hair more presentable, especially since my hair gets drier the longer I don't wash my hair, so I need a shine spray that doesn't contain alcohol and one that masks dryness. If I go by lightness: this is lightest, then Moroccanoil Glimmer and last La Croa & Macadamia. 

SCHWARZKOPF GOT2B Bye Bye Babyhaar Bändiger
(Babyhair Tamer)
 This stuff is pretty amazing for frizz and flyaways, it does the job so well and fast. It's like a hair gel in a mascara form, but it doesn't feel stiff or heavy. It has plastic wand like mascaras and just basically just comb your flyaways with it and they stay down. It also smells like peaches which is an extra plus.

ROOTS TOUCH UP

As you might now I'm a natural dark brunette that's bleaching to a light blonde, so my roots contrast is intense. I first got this in medium to dark blonde version which turned out too dark for me, so when I had roots again I picked up the lightest version. Since my roots are dark brown, almost black, I didn't expect this to work (which is why I got medium blonde the first time), but it's not too shabby. Of course it doesn't cover completely, but it lightens up a lot so I don't have such a stark contrast. It's kind of like I added highlights rather than lifted the whole thing, but I have to use a lot of the spray for the colour to show, which makes it less light than when I used medium that covered faster. Shade is surprisingly nice, it has some ash to it when I apply it on my dark areas, so it looks ok, but on coloured hair is it's too warm. It's not amazing, it's not life changing and it's really just a temporary kind-of-fix, but better than nothing. Also this doesn't last to the next wash and it a lot of it comes off during the night and it combs out too. You can see how it works here.

Have a great day!

*ESSENCE Colour Boost Mad About Matte Liquid Lipstick

05 Dangerously Yours

Unexpectedly I really love this. When these launched I didn't devote them a second of attention because I thought it's going to be some lame not-really-matte formula like L'Oreal's Lip Paint Mattes, but this is properly matte in a minute or two, it applies fully opaque and the colour is gorgeous. It's the shade I wanted Maybelline's Lover to be, as it's a similar mauve shade, but much pinker and warmer. It's on my lips in the picture with the Essence highlighter.

*MILANI Gilded Desires Eye & Face Palette

Review in Slovene (I'll have an English version here too)

Contains 12 matte & shimmering metallics eyeshadows, plus two highlighters.

This is a crazy pigmented palette and there are not many eyeshadows I've tried that would have such an intense colour pay-off so quickly. Formula is very soft and when I pushed a bit too hard with a brush when I was swatching it, the brush just sank in - luckily I could fix it because these are so creamy. You get a combination of metallics and mattes, both have great formulas. Metallics are very creamy and especially the copper shade has a dreamy metallic fully opaque formula. The mattes are some of the best I've tried and less creamy than metallic, so the brush picks them up better. The only slightly disappointing shade in the palette is the white highlighter which unlike other metallic shades in the palette doesn't feel smooth and has some big shimmer in it, so it doesn't look as pretty on the face. The other gold one is better, but too dark for me. If you're a fan of metallic eyeshadows this is an excellent palette, I just wish the colour selection was a bit more up to my taste, though I love that olive shade and neutral matte colours, so I can use this palette for my usual neutral eye.

*L.O.V. The Rose X Copper Eyeshadow Palette

Contains 12 glittery and satins eyeshadows 

L.O.V. also released a reddish-warm palette - I feel like I'm seeing these everywhere. Pigmentation is good at most shades and especially the red metallic shade Ambitious is super soft and crazy pigmented like a cream eyeshadow (similar to Milani's, but thicker, less smooth compared to those). I'd like it, if the shade range were more to my taste, but I'm not a fan of these modern rosey-red palettes and what I really miss at this palette are matte shades. It just doesn't have a selection of crease appropriate colours, as everything is either a satin finish or metallic. The palette is quite heavy and has a magnetic closing system.

*CATRICE Astrology LE Eye Palette

Full review here

Contains 12 matte, satin and glittery shades.

This is my least favourite palette out of the four I got. For one the colour selection is disappointing, as the whole first row looks the same on the eyes. All are a neutral blending out/base colours and who needs four such shades? The second row is a mixed quality, the first two are a lovely matte and satin shades with good pigmentation and they blend nicely, the next two orange ones are disappointing. The first orange is not the best, though useful, but the last shade is sheer and I just can't pick it up, plus it's chunky. The same goes for the first shade in the bottom row - only sparse chunky shimmer. The last three are great matte shade that are pigmented and blend well. Overall it's just too disappointing, though matte shades are good. I give it a 2.5/5.

*ESSENCE Ho! Ho! Ho! LE Iridescent Powder Highlighter

01 Twinkle Twinkle

I'm not thrilled about this either and Essence has done so much better. It's similar to Stay Cool Llama highlighter in terms of formula and level of glow. Formula feels softer than llama, but it's not like some other buttery highlighters. It's very subtle, unless I really layer it and the shade has a pinky glow, so it's better for cool skin tones.

*ESSENCE Highlighter Brush

01 Santa's Little Helper

A very soft, synthetic brush that isn't the best when it comes to picking up a lot of product, so it's  better for very pigmented blushes and highlighters. It's a bit big for highlighters as far as I'm concerned, but for blush and maybe even contour it's nice.The handle has a fun glitter and candy cane in water design

*CATRICE Glitter Storm LE Liquid Eyeliner

C02 Eclectic Lilac

Full Review here.

This is duochrome shade with colour changing from navy blue to purple. I can't praise this formula because it's too sheer and too liquid so the pigment shifts and the applicator is a stiff stick that isn't comfortable. I can't draw a line with this, instead I need to dab the colour along the lash line. The colour is an off black on me with blue shimmer and it's just not as striking as in the tube. Staying power isn't impressive either as the wing wiped off and that doesn't happen at their regular liquid eyeliner. Catrice has done so much better (colour) liners before.

*CATRICE Glitter Storm LE Liquid Glitter Lips

C03 Luster

Full Review here.

This is a metallic matte shade, which it's one of my least favourite finishes (I do not like metallics for the lips. Mattes are not supposed to be matte). It dries matte on the lips in a couple of minutes and this is a type of shade you need to take a lot of time to apply nicely, but luckily it layers with no problems. Shade Luster is a purple burgundy with cool purple shimmer which does give it a nice metallic effect, however, that shimmer ends up everywhere at the end of the day (surprisingly the colour stays put). The combination of a dark shade, glitter and matte finish makes is a nightmare to remove, so make sure you have an oil remover handy.

*REVOLUTION PRO Supreme Eyeshadow Palette

Allure

I've tried quite a few (Makeup) Revolution palettes and they don't excite me as much as apparently most, but I will admit this has some great quality eyeshadows. There are 8 shades in a rather inelegant looking palette, 5 are matte and 3 are shimmers. It's a mixed quality palette (something Revolution has yet to improve), but 4 mattes are excellent quality, super soft, pigmented and they blend really nicely. They somewhat remind me of Milani's matte shade in Gilded palette, but they are more loose, very crumbly and less buttery-creamy. The only disappointing matte is the purple-mauve one because it's quite sheer . Two shimmers are also excellent quality, very creamy, have a strong metallic finish and great pigmentation, again they remind me of poor man's Milani metallics, but the lilac shade is not quite as good, though it's still a useful duochrome shimmer on a lilac base. Shades are a matte buttercream, matte medium brown (it's meant to be the cool shade in the palette, but it's warm on me), a metallic beige-bronze (excellent quality), a reddish brown with green shimmer (somewhere in the ballpark of Mac's Club), a matte violet-mauve, a duchrome lilac (looks good applied over black, as it makes it a navy with star-like shimmer), a matte deep warm brown and a matte black which is not the best black. Four versions of these types of palettes exist.

*REVOLUTION PRO 4K Highlighter Palette

Rose Gold

As much as I'm not a fan of MR eyeshadows, I've been impressed with their highlighters before and this palette is another useful one for me. They name it rose gold, but only one shade is actually in that colour. Shades include a very intense pearly white (by far the strongest shade), a beige-gold (best normal level of glow), a rose gold with a pink, slightly purplish reflect (weakest) and a light copper (too dark for me). Pigmentation differs a lot, but it's good across the board, with the white one being incredibly intense, maybe even too much and the rest, though less strong, also create a nice glow. While formula feel soft, almost creamy, they aren't very fine and appear chalky in a thick swatch. Shimmer is mostly fine, but there are some medium sized chunks and those can land everywhere. It's not my favourite set of highlighters, but I like the nice shade range that (mostly) works on pale skin.

*REVOLUTION PRO Pore Primer

This scared me the first time I opened it because all that was coming out was that oily liquid and I was afraid it got separated, but luckily it was just a small part of the product. The texture is a simple standard mattifying primer that feels very silicone-y and coats the skin in a velvet layer that is nicely matte. It's tinted, but it doesn't have coverage and while it creates a smooth base for a foundation, I didn't notice that big of a change on pores. For example L'Oreal's Infallible matte foundation is far more effective at hiding pores and was an already discontinued Essence mousse concealer. However, if you're just looking for a mattifying, silicone-feeling primer, it's more than adequate.

*REVOLUTION PRO Pro Supreme Matte Lip Pigment

Visionary

This is the thickest matte lip cream I've tried and most like a mousse. Texture is similar to Rimmel's Stay Satin, but even thicker. It applies fully opaque and it has a satin finish from the start. It takes 10-15 minutes for it to set to a proper matte finish. I don't find it drying, but it could be too much for some. It's most similar to Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets, so if you can handle those, these will be fine as well. Visionary is a nude beige shade that on my skin tone leans toward peach, but I think the darker and warmer your skin tone is, the more pinky nude it will look.

*REVLON Super Lustrous Lipstick 

Lady Boss, Fire & Ice and Black Cherry

These are a special edition of lipsticks that are a part of Revlon's Live Boldly collection which celebrates bold, independent and strong women. Two of the shades, Fire & Ice and Black Cherry are Revlon's classics that are a part of the permanent range, while Lady Boss is a new shade I believe. I don't think these will be sold here, but they are available in other countries and anyway some colours are not new. These are Revlon's classic lipstick with a comfortable, fully opaque formula. Fire & Ice is Revlon's iconic shade, one of their oldest and it's a warm red, Black Cherry is a deep burgundy and Lady Boss is a bright electric pink.

*WET N WILD Megaglo Highlighting Powder 

Blossom Glow

Precious Petals is the shade that started the hype of these. I was tempted by it too until I heard it's quite dark. Blossom Glow on the other hand, is perfect for very pale skin tones. It's an off-white pinky-peachy shade with a good level of glow. First application was quite a disappointment however, as my densest brush couldn't pick up much colour and it was only after I swatched it with a finger for pictures that the bottom softer, a lot more glowy layer was revealed.

*REVLON Super Lustrous Lipstick 

Revlon Red

This was actually my first red lipstick many years ago and now we are reunited. I wanted their famous Fire & Ice, but back in the day I think this was the red we had here (it was so long ago and I sent someone else to get it for me). It was never my favourite shade of red, but that's because I prefer those with cool undertones, while this ends up considerably warmer on me than it looks in the tube. On darker, warmer skin tones it might look more neutral or neutral-warm. It's got a classic/old-school creamy formula that is comfortable on the lips.
Clikc2Chic, 9.98 €

*REVLON Nail Enamel 

Revlon Red

Another classic red shade, though it looks more cool-neutral on my nails than the lipstick, so they don't completely match. Red nail polishes tend to all be great in terms of quality and I zero complaints about this one. It's opaque in one coat, but I always apply two just because I'm used to it and a thicker layer lasts longer on the nails. The brush is one of the thinnest and I actually like this because I have narrow nails and it's better for a more precise application.

*MOROCCANOIL Color Complete Protect & Prevent Spray

Moroccanoil launched a complete system of hair care designed for coloured hair and this spray is meant as a last step in the Color Complete regimen. It's applied on damp hair and it promises to help keep the colour from fading or becoming brassy. It has UV and thermal protection too. Spray is light, so appropriate for all hair types, I really don't think it would weigh down even the thinnest hair. It smells amazing like all Moroccanoil products and doesn't interfere with other hair care or styling products.

*LUXURIOUS COCONUT All-Over Coconut Hair Oil Repair

My second bottle of this one. It's one of the lightest ones, so more appropriate for those with thin hair than my thick type (I need to use a lot on my hair), but in combination with the mask from the same line and applied on damp hair before blow-drying it mages to tames it quite successfully plus as well as a nice level of shine. It of course also tames the hair and adds shine when used on dry hair, plus it smells like creamy coconut.

*ORIFLAME Possess the Secret

This is flanker of the original Possess and it's described as an oriental floral, but I don't get the oriental part, at least not in that traditional vanilla-amber-spicy/patchouli sense. It starts with very uplifting citrus and apple, so very fresh notes. After about a half an hour it settles into a floral (osmanthus-sunflower-orchid-jasmine mix) on a sandalwood base (no vanilla on me, despite being among the notes). Though it seems quite a tame fragrance from the start, it become quite a silage monster and I could smell one spray on another person for hours from 1-2m away. It's also one of the most long-lasting fragrances I own and it lasts much longer than my other Oriflame fragrance Miss Giordani Intense.

Black Cherry

Labello came out with a new version of their tinted lip balm formulas, this time they released them in a crayon from. These come in three shades a coral, red and cherry. I haven't opened it yet, as it was a crazy month for PR products, but if I do, I'll let you know how I like it.

MAKEUP

 *BOURJOIS Eye Catching Mascara

The latest mascara by Bourjois which comes in an adorable packaging with cats embossed on the cap. The brush is a classic one and it's dented (has shorter bristles) on one side, while the opposite side is very bushy. Formula looks thick and very creamy, but it's not a super messy type of formula like Catrice Lashes to Kill Pro. At first it created a natural & separated look with one coat, while several coats gave a moderate amount of volume. Now it's dried a bit and the volume is built up faster, though it's not as defining as it was from the start. For an "eye opening" mascara I expected it to both lift and hold lashes, but it does neither of these things. In fact I really put an effort in curling, plus added a thin layer of a waterproof mascara under it and yet this just dropped my lashes completely. It's an ok mascara in terms of being volumizing, but it's not for me because I want lift too.

BEYU Beauty Queen Volume Mascara

I finally repurchased one of my favourite mascaras, even though I currently have a few opened, but none I actually bought and picked myself, so none really work for me. I was going to buy Lash Sensational which I also love and it's cheaper, but I couldn't find a single full stand in my town - so weird. There are a lot of good mascaras in the drugstores in terms of how much volume they give and how they define the lashes, but very rare ones do the thing that I want - keep the lashes lifted and without being waterproof. This is one of those mascaras. It does everything - gives volume, defines the lashes and keeps them lifted enough so I don't look like I have no lashes. It can't compare to a proper waterproof mascara, but it does enough and it's easy to remove. It's only minus is the price. By the way, I also like the cheaper Essence Volume Stylist Curl & Hold Mascara, but I decided not to repurchase that one this time because it's almost as difficult to remove as a waterproof mascara.

CATRICE Liquid Liner Matt

010 Meeting Joe Black

This is the liner that I wear every day and I've bought several in the last year since I discovered it. I had a spare tube that I got in in January and when I opened it, the formula was watered down, so it looked grey which is weird because these are the most intense black liners I've tried. I was afraid they messed with the formula when they changed the packaging a bit, but luckily this new one is just as intense as all others I bought and that January one is a dud. Very annoying that Catrice has such loose quality control. I hate I had to spend extra money for a new eyeliner, even though it's not that expensive.

 BOURJOIS Radiance Reveal Concealer

A repurchase of my favourite concealer. I love this one so much I even used it instead of foundation on occasions. It's got only a medium to full coverage, but it looks so natural and hides imperfections without drawing attention to them by looking too matte or cakey. I have the lightest shade 01 Ivory which swatched looks a shade too dark on me, but this blends into the skin so well, you could never tell the shade is slightly wrong. If you like concealers like Maybelline's the Eraser, you'll love this one.

 *RIMMEL Good to Glow Maxi Bronzer

002 Amber 

There are two shades of these bronzers, I got the darker of the two and both are described as having a soft glow. The latter is subtle, the finish is actually more of a satin, so it's closer to a matte bronzer and there is no fear that any shimmer particles will ruin the look. Formula is crumby soft, though it applies smoothly and it's a very pigmented bronzer, so I need to be careful. The shade is too dark for me as well as too warm, almost orange, so it'd be best suited for medium skin tones with a warm undertone. 

 *MAX FACTOR Colour Elixir Cushion

035 Baby Star Coral and 030 Majesty Berry

These just landed in my mailbox, so I'm reporting the very first impressions. These have exactly the same packaging as Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors and the discontinued Catrice versions, so they have a comfortable foam applicator. The formula is similar to Honey Lacquers in terms of how they feel on the lips, so very comfortable and like they are mixed with a lip balm. Pigmentation is sheer and these only give a tint to the lips. The coral one gives a gentle orange hue to my lips, while the berry, which I prefer, gives it a natural looking rosy shade. These have a nice vanilla scent. There are 7 colours available in Slovenia.

 *SALLY HANSEN Color Therapy Nail Polish

180 Chai on Life

A nail polish formula that contains argan oil, which I don't know if it does anything, but I'm sure it can't hurt. My shade is a warm toned beige nude that looks absolutely perfect on my toes, so this was already in my last monthly favourites. The formula is a bit too liquid, similar to Essie Fiji, so when I try to apply a thick coat, it spills around the nail. It's better to do thin coats with this, though it's pigmented enough and it's a standard two coater. 

About 10 € in DM.

*SALLY HANSEN Miracle Gel Nail Polish

550 Hunger Flames 

For a gel formula this is quite thin and not like other such formulas. It's like a standard frosty, pigmented formula that needs three coats for the best result. Hunger Flames is a purple with red frost that can look pink-purple with a thin coat, while thickly applied it looks more true purple.

Swatches of both shades are in a highlighted stories "Updates" on my IG.

SKINCARE

 BALEA MED Ultra Sensitive Waschgel

I got this before I could find the new updated Erfrischendes gel version, which is the gel I've been using regularly as a second cleanser for quite a while now. This is more expensive and not scented, however, I don't see a difference between the two formulas. Both are slippery gels that do their job of cleansing the skin and don't feel too drying. I'll keep on buying the blue version because it's cheaper.

BALEA Erfrischendes Wasch Gel (New 2018 version)

Balea not only changed the packaging of my old favourite, but also they tinkered with the formula. They added aloe vera quite high on the list and I can also report that the strong, masculine scent is now much fainter. Formula still feels the same and does the same job. I like the change, but the price is 80 cents higher now.

BIOBAZA Exclusive Face Cleansing Micellar Oil

My fourth or fifth bottle is a row. I use this every day as my first cleanser, but I only use it because it works so well with my skin, while in other respect, namely removing makeup, I'm being consistently let down as it doesn't remove mascara well. Until I find another (cheaper) oil that doesn't break me out, I'm stuck with this one.

 *SHIELDS OF GLORY Hydro Delight Ultra Hydrating Face Cream with Saffron

A deceptively light moisturiser that actually reminds me of sleeping packs because despite the light formula, it needs some extra time to absorb, so it leaves a layer of product on the skin before it sinks in completely. I prefer it as a part of the night routine, even though it works just fine under makeup and I've used it for most of the month in the mornings. This feels to me as a moisturiser that's more suited for dry, normal skin & dry-combination skin, while those with oily skin might find it's a bit heavy because it needs time to sink in. Scent is floral creamy of moderate strength. I still prefer Creatures de Monoi moisturiser from moisturisers sold on Click2Chic. Shields works as an average moisturiser on me, which is just fine and it has saffron high on the list, so ingredients-wise it's better, but CdM works great for my skin and it's still one of my favourite face creams I've tried so far.

BODY

*SHIELDS OF GLORY Golden Pleasure Perfumed Shower oil with Camelia oil

This smells exactly like Angel fragrance. It's got a strong oriental vanilla scent that if I judge from the Angel notes has patchouli (I notice it most), chocolate, vanilla, honey, amber plus a ton of fruity and floral notes, but basically it's smells either of two ways depending on peoples chemistry: a delightfully sweet and sexy vanilla spicy scent, or horribly strange spicy (it's the patchouli that's so hard to handle). If you like Angel, you will love this oil. The formula is a great one, very similar to L'Occitane's in almost all respects, so it's a medium thick oil that emulsifies into a rich emulsion with water. Too bad they only have this scent. Angel is something you need to be in the mood for, but I like the formula a lot and I'd like an lighter, more basic scented version. Ingredients-wise it's good, only the perfume is quite high up, but it has tons of oils and extracts.

 NIVEA Pflegedusche 

Sun Welcome Shine

Nivea made a shower gel that smells like their original sunscreen scent, so this is not that typical summery coconut/tiare sunscreen scent that you get in other such products, but it's the actual scent of sunscreen, so that slightly bitter creamy scent that some really hate, but I like it. I never owned a Nivea sunscreen because they are way too expensive when you want to buy a SPF 50, but regardless I'm familiar with the scent because it smells the same as SunDance and Lavazon sun creams that I usually buy. So again don't expect a Hawaiian Tropic/Guerlan Terracotta scent like you get in Balea's version, Nivea's smells like a classic sunscreen. Disappointingly, the bottle lasted only two weeks when two of us were using it.

Müller, 1.85 €

AVEO Intensive Care Duschöl

A repurchase, twice in the last months actually. I use this to wash my hands and it works great. It's a very runny oil, which surprisingly forms a thick emulsion and the only thing I'm not 100% happy about is the bland scent.

BATH & BODY WORKS Ultra Shea Body Cream

Country Apple

After I found the Twilight Woods version of Ultra Shea a complete success, I wanted more and Country Apple was the first on the list. The texture of these Ultra Sheas is amazing. They really feel like rich body butters in a tube. This and The Body Shop's body butters and my favourite formulas ever. I have another BBW apple scent called Champagne Apple Honey, which was an autumn LE, but it's the most amazing proper crisp apple scent, so I hoped this was the same. It's similar, but more musky, so it doesn't end up smelling as fresh, but it's also not bad. I'll likely buy more versions of these when I used up my stash. I highly recommend you try one of these if you like rich moisturisers.

  BALEA Elektrischer Hornhaut Entferner

I've been eyeing this for a while because I find using foot files such a chore. I've used those famous acid peels (from Etude House), but unfortunately they are too weak for my hard skin and they didn't leave my feet soft, though the removed the top layer like they should. I checked some reviews before buying this and they were mixed with the negative side focusing on it not being good enough for very rough skin, but I still took a chance. I was picking between this one and Barefuss one from Müller, while I find Scholl's too expensive in the long run because the replacement rolls. Balea won because you get four rolls in the box, one very fine, one medium and two rough ones, plus you also get batteries. Design is very 80's or 90's and it's very basic, but that doesn't matter to me. I tried the medium one first and I could see it works, still I switched to the rough grey one for better results. I took a while, but it did a decent job. My feet didn't feel soft, but they felt smoother and the skin wasn't as hard. I was satisfied with the results, though it could be rougher and I can't say this will work on very rough skin or bunions. It's also not fast, so you need to take your time, but I also feel this won't take off too much.

FRAGRANCES

 BATH & BODY WORKS Body Mist

Oahu Coconut Sunset

This was already in my last favourites and I can only repeat what I've said there. It's a deeper version of a beachy coconut scent that reminds me of Lolita Lempicka Elle L'Aime. The traditional creamy coconut-tiare combination is here mixed with sultry amber and incense that give the scent depth, while there's also a sweet juicy (Taj Sunset mango-like) note present, but only at the start. It's a going out/night time version of a beachy scent that can be worn in colder months as well. I'd really love to get more of BBW mists, they are such amazing value with 250 ml.

 AVON Luck La Vie eau de parfum

Admittedly I got this in part for the gorgeous packaging, but I also liked the notes listed in the description. I already tried the original Luck once and loved it, so it's still on my list to get, but La Vie version drew me in with its woodsy notes that I'm obsessively seeking in fragrances now since I absolutely love them in BBW Apple Wood sanitizer and Twilight Woods mist. The wood notes are not nearly as apparent in La Vie as in those two, instead it's a fresh floral fruity fragrance with a cedar base that reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy and its flankers. First burst is sweet strawberry with the florals starting to make their appearance. Then the fresh, green florals take centre stage with lily-of-the-valley being the most apparent note. It's the latter than reminds me of the Daisy fragrance since they are both so green and fresh. The base reveals the cedar note, but it's still got that a fresh fruity-floral and green character. It definitely smells more like a designer fragrance that celebrity scents which tend to me more sugary vanilla. It's youthful, but still serious enough that you'd be comfortable wearing it to the office. Compared to the original Luck, La Vie feels greener and less smooth, that's why a lot of people prefer the original. The main notes of that one are berries and sandalwood, so it's warmer. La Vie also has notes of peach which I can't detect, which is a shame. It's about medium strong and lasts a few hours.

HAIR

 HEAD & SHOULDERS Supreme Feuchkeit 

Supreme Moisture Conditioner

This is the first anti-dandruff conditioner that I saw in our drugstores (I only knew about KeraCare up until now, which I never got round to ordering). It's got zink pyrithione on 7th place among the ingredients, but otherwise it's a pretty standard conditioner with the usual mix of moisturising ingredients and silicones. I've been battling dandruff since I was 11 and I wrote about it here many times, as well as documented some of the stuff I tried over the years, but I never tried a conditioner, which sounded like a great idea, since my scalp is everything from super dry (I never have oily hair) to flaky and itchy, so this sounded like a nice moisturising treatment. As a regular conditioner, I like it because it left my hair very silky due to a lot of silicones, which my hair loves. It could be a bit more nourishing, but for drugstore stuff it's one of the best. I applied it generously on the scalp too, but unfortunately, it didn't help with the dandruff much and actually the state was pretty much the same, my scalp was a bit less dry, but still flaky and as usual occasionally itchy. It doesn't work the way it promises, but I still like it as a regular conditioner.

 SCHAUMA Nature Moments Honey Elixir & Barbary Fig Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

I got this because they were offering it at the register in DM as a part of a promotion and I've always been interested in Schauma because I remember hearing someone talking about it being good. Well this was a complete waste of my money. The best description of a shampoo is average - cleans well, but not nourishing and neither too drying, it's got this basic "trying-to-smell-like-honey" scent and is in general just a boring shampoo that's not good for my very dry hair. The conditioner has very promising ingredients with keratin high on the list and it smells nicely of honey, but it's very light and it did nothing for my hair. Washing my hair with these made me wash it again using more nourishing products. They are probably completely ok for normal hair with slightly dry ends, even maybe oily hair because they are light, but I'm using the shampoo as a shower gel and the conditioner instead of a shaving gel.

DM, it was about 3 € as a part of the promotion where the conditioner was a gift.

*L'OREAL Magic Shampoo Invisible Dry Shampoo

Fresh Crush, Tropical Splash and Sweet Fusion

L'Oreal released these a couple of months back in five versions, but I only saw three in our Müller. I never have greasy hair, so I'm sorry that can't say how well they perform on oily hair, but I can say that these have absolutely no white cast. In fact when you spray them there is no powderiness in sight. For my dark hair these work really great as a refreshing type of product that add fragrance to my hair. The don't create as much volume as Batiste do, which is expected given that they don't create that powdery texture, but it's still enough on my hair. 

Fresh Crush has the most classic type of clean scent, though this one is a flowery version and not the typical aldehyde "clean laundry scent"

Tropical Splash has a flowery tropical scent, which reminds me most of a hibiscus scent Balea used to make.

Sweet Fusion is the most girly and sweet type of scent, which is again very floral with (maybe) some vanilla notes (it's something warm and sweet).

I'm very fussy when it comes to hair care because my hair is so dry, so I won't say this is the best hair care line I've used, but when it comes to drugstore it's very decent, especially the hair mask. Shampoo is one of the rare ones that doesn't leave my hair striped and it doesn't leave my hair too tangled, so I give it a 4/5. The conditioner is thick and I can feel it'll be nourishing enough for most people, but for me it's on a light side. The hair mask again feels similarly thick as conditioner, but it's got a much better effect on my hair and it gives a good hydration boost. Sadly the nourished effect lasts only a day or two on my hair, but that's usual for every good drugstore mask I've tried (that's why I mostly use more expensive, hair salon stuff). For very dry hair, the mask is great, but those will thin hair will find it too much and for those the conditioner is a better choice. Oil is quite light, so I need to use a lot of it, especially on dry hair, but it does its job of taming the hair and giving shine. The shampoo-mask-oil on damp hair combination pleasantly surprised me because my hair dried so sleek and super shiny with a hair dryer and that doesn't happen often. Scent is the thing that I have mixed feelings about. The shampoo and oil have a nice creamy coconut scent, but the conditioner and mask smell more like coconut water, so on the sour side. 

Click2chic and Müller, everything apart from the oil 5.49 € per piece (shampoo and conditioner 500 ml, hair mask 250 ml), oil is 9.49 € (100 ml)

Have a great day!
