Lee Stafford Hair Care Products Review

Hey guys so lately I have really been into the Lee Staford hair care range. Lee Staford is a range or professional hair care that can be found at your local Pharmacy. I have tried and tested many of their products, some better than others, but here are some of my favorites and a mini review on each.

ArganOil- Nourishing Miracle Oil

So we have all heard that the new miracle Argan Oil is a must for our hair to retain moisture and keep it looking healthy so when I saw this in Boots I had to try it. Pure Argan Oil retails from anywhere between £10-£30 but the Lee Staford Oil retails at about £11. On the bottle it promises to leave you hair feeling healthy and nourished.

This is one of my FAVORITE hair products as it leaves my dry, highlighted hair feeling soft and manageable. You can either apply the product to towel dried hair or to totally dry hair. If you have a very frizzy hair naturally or after you brush your hair then a couple of pumps of this will cut the frizz and give your gorgeous locks the shine they need. This product also doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy but I would only say to apply to the length of your hair.

I would recommend this to anyone and with any hair type.


Blow Dry your Hair Faster Spray- Wonder Spray

This fabulous little spray basically like it says on the bottle says it will cut your blow drying time. When I saw this product it was perfect for what I needed as I blow dry my curly hair straight it takes me forever and I usually give up before I'm finished. My usually blow dry time without the spray takes about 25 mins but when I used the spray I can honestly say it only took me about 15 mins which was awesome. This product retails for £6.19 (Boots)

The little wonder spray is not only to cut your drying time but it also a
HEAT PROTECTANT (up to 220 degrees) and a DETANGLER which is great as you don't have to use a ton of products that weigh down your hair. To be really honest though I did have to use a separate detangler as my curly was still quite knotty after I used it.

To use this product just spray onto damp hair then continue to blow dry as usual.

I would totally recommend this product.



Shine Head: Spray Shine


If your hair sometimes lacks that sexy shine then this spray will be perfect for you. I have used this product for years now and it never lets me down. It makes your hair so shiny and glossy but without making it look greasy.

It retails for £5.49 (Boots)

To use this product just spray the light mist onto your hair to give it a glamorous shine but when spraying near the roots spray lightly.

I would only recommend this product if you have dry or normal hair but it is a fabulous product.






Matt Fat Powder


Do you ever wake up with flat, limp and greasy hair?

Well this powder claims to fix all that. It promises to mop up any grease you got going on and to add volume to your hair in just a sprinkle.

This product sells for £9.50 (which hit me like a brick). I have to say it does what it says but I'm not sure weather it's expensive price tag is really worth it. On this plus side when applied to your roots and after a little jzeush it made my hair very voluminous and big, which looked great with some glamorous curls.

If you have very oily hair and you are not too bothered about the price then this is another great L S product but I would have to say I wouldn't repurchase this product.

I hope you all liked this review and I will be posting more Lee Staford product review soon.

Schwarzkopf Live Hair Color

Hey everyone, ok so if you follow me on YouTube you will know that I have naturally really dark brown hair and I dye it golden blonde. My hair color has been one of my most asked questions. I used to go to the salon and get my hair highlighted but it got too expensive so I now dye it myself.

I have tried many different home kit blonde hair dyes such as ION, Loreal and Garnier but my hair can never develop above a dark orange shade with looks horrible.

I then tried a new hair dye called Schwarzkopf Live in Baby Blonde.


This hair dye is amazing and lightens my hair from the dark brown to light golden blonde. My hair is left with a very slight yellow tint but I just use the ION purple toner shampoo which completely gets rid of the yellow.

I got it for £4.50 from Boots.

Application

To apply the hair dye you simply just mix up the product and apply it to dry hair and I leave it for about 40 minutes.
A big mistake people make when dying their hair blonde is they don't leave the product on for long enough. When dying hair blonde from brown the hair goes through stages- Light brown, Orange then Blonde. So when your hair reached the orange stage sometimes the products need to be left for longer to get it out the orange stage.

Results

This hair dye like any blonde dye (containing peroxide) does damage my hair slightly but with my hair care products my hair stays manageable and in good condition.

So this is my favorite blonde hair dye of all time and I would recommend this to anyone. If you have anymore questions on this dye then please message me. xxx

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation

I found this foundation amazing for a drug store foundation. For a long time I was buying high end foundations but this got to expensive so I just decided to give this a try. Most drug store foundations looks very orange and cakey. Also because I have very pale skin it is hard to find the right shade. The foundation has a wide range of pale shades but I will say if you have dark skin it may be hard to find. The foundation claims that it covers pores and leaves you with an air-brushed look and I totally agree. I have very sensitive skin and this foundation did not break me out at ALL. Another thing I like about it is that the coverage is very good so concealer is not needed. If you do need more coverage then the foundation is buildable. I use a brush to apple it but you can use your hands as it is very easy to spread. I have recommended this foundations to many people and they have all continued to re-purchase and so have I. The bottle contains a good amount of product. A bottle usually lasts me about a month and a half with every day use. The bottle retails for about £7.99 / $10.00 which is a little pricey for a drug store product but not for the amount you get.

Rating- 4 /5
Coverage - 3 / 5
Range of Colors - 3 / 5
Price- 3/5

Hope this helps. Thank You xxxx
