About me

I'm 50, married with one son. Like most working mums I don't get a lot of time to myself so I look for products that are quick & easy to use.

Firstly, I found this product very difficult to apply. I have osetoarthritis in my hands, and having to squeeze and manipulate the tube was quite difficult for me because of that. Probably not a problem for most people using it, but the design of the container was not friendly for people with less than optimal hand strength and movement. I have very fine hair, but still found it difficult to get the product directly onto my scalp rather than just clumping into my hair. I also found the brush on the tube a bit flimsy, so used another scalp brush I had to get the product into my scalp. And after all that effort, I can't really say I saw any difference to either my hair or scalp condition.

Revlon rarely disappoints and this product is no exception. The product glides easily onto the skin although I did find I needed to use a bit more for full coverage than I have with other products. The tube is a little bigger than most other primers, so perhaps that is why. But at this price, who can complain! It works very well, absorbs right into the skin and doesn't 'sit' on top like some others I have used. Keeps skin looking dewy and fresh throughout the day, important when you have oily skin like me.

I've used a few Alpha H products thus far and I'm yet to be disappointed. This eye makes the skin around my eyes so silky smooth, you'd never know a crow's foot had touched it! It absorbs straight into the skin, no stickiness or irritation to my eyes or skin like I have found with other products. It also has no scent I can discern, so would suit people who don't like fragrance in their products. It is quite thin consistency so you only need a tiny bit for full coverage. Although this brand is not at the cheap end of the scale, you get what you pay for, and a little goes a long way.

I've tried a few other neck creams and whilst they worked, they didn't seem to absorb into the skin well and left marks on clothing and jewellery. This one however, absorbs into the skin brilliantly. So whilst skin feels soft and smooth after application, it does not feel sticky or greasy to the touch. It also works a treat! As I approach 50, my neck & décolletage started to resemble crepe paper. But regularly using neck creams has righted the worst of it. For the most part now that area looks and feels smooth. This will definitely be part of my long term regime. The only thing I don't like is the excess packaging. The tub is so much bigger than the capacity inside, which I think its wasteful, especially since the plastic doesn't appear to be recyclable. Plus the tub being so wide takes up a lot of room on the shelf. Better design of the packaging would be the icing on the cake.

I remember how my life changed when I discovered Klorane's dry shampoo back in 2006! What a game changer it was. With my oily and fine hair, I've been a dry shampoo devotee ever since. But, it hasn't all been smooth sailing, many of them make my hair very dry looking, almost like straw. This new formula, however, has put paid to that. It achieves the feat of drying out the oil, but not the hair! So hair still looks freshly washed, smells clean but doesn't look dry or frizzy. It even gives a good oomph of volume to second day hair. I also find a little goes a long way so whilst this might be more expensive than other brands, you use less in the long run.

I got this comb primarily for my young son who is very 'into' his hair currently. Previously, I've just been using my tools when blow drying & styling for him, but I've found the plastic wide toothed comb I have creates a lot of static on his long hair. But this comb, being of bamboo, doesn't have the same effect making it so much easier to style. The wide tooth design is great for getting knots out as well, and the comb itself is super light, you can barely tell you're holding it. When my current comb gets to the end, I will definitely be making the switch to bamboo for good.

I've never bothered much with sleep masks before (except on planes) but now I'm wondering where they've been all my life! My night's sleep is so much better with light blocked out, and not looking at the alarm clock throughout the night. The mask is comfortable to wear, not too tight and doesn't rub. I do toss & turn a bit still so it can slip around, but that is easily fixed. At the beginning the mask had quite a pronounced lavender scent, but after being washed a few times I can no longer smell it. But I think it's still there in the background, doing its magic work!

I have used many, many products over the years which claim to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars and none of them have ever had the slightest effect. Until this one, that is. It actually works! I have a lot of stretch marks from weight fluctuations and pregnancy and this oil has done wonders for reducing the appearance. Its also not too heavy and absorbs quickly into the skin, and does not leave oil marks on your clothes. I use after showering and it just soaks right into the skin, and I can get dressed immediately after.

I got this as part of the review team trial. I used it day & night over the past month, on my face, neck and décolletage area. I have very oily skin, and as a result I don't have a lot of signs of aging on my face. You know what they say, oil don't spoil! So I can't really say whether it really had much affect on the signs of aging there. I did notice however that unlike other serums I've tried, this did not reduce the amount of oil produced by my skin at all. I have found that an advantage in other serums I've used, although I guess it could be a sign of cell renewal. But onto neck & décolletage, I do have signs of aging there, with the dreaded crepey skin in evidence. I did see a visible tightening of the skin there, and the area looks much smoother after a month of use. I also found it reduced a few skin tags etc in the area, which was an extra added bonus.

I got this leave in treatment as part of the last rewards room. I have fine and limp hair, which is damaged from years of colouring and blow drying (for body), so a good deep conditioning treatment is a must for me. This one does a good job. It has no real noticeable scent and is quite a thick texture so you don't need a lot of product to get full coverage. It needs to be left on for a few minutes to work. I find that it definitely reduces frizz and makes hair a bit more manageable, and performs well against other products at this price point. However, its not good enough to make me make a permanent change to this product over my usual.
