Best Of Beauty 2019 – Hair, Lips, Fragrance, Body

Hi there! Welcome to my third and final Best Of Beauty 2019 post. As a quick reminder, I’ve done two posts already – one about skin care, the other one about face masks, and today’s post is about everything else!

And why am I doing this post in January 2020? I wanted to include the stuff I tried and used in December as well. I also didn’t want to reschedule posts I had already scheduled. Anyhoo, let’s get to the products!

Aussie Mega Shampoo & Conditioner

Aussie’s Mega products are simply amazing! They’ve become all-time favourites!

Gliss Hair Repair Magnificent Strength Shampoo & Conditioner

Gliss’ Magnificent Strength products are absolutely brilliant! 11 stars!

Gliss Hair Repair Total Repair Shampoo & Conditioner

Gliss’ Total Repair hair products are fantastic too!

Herbal Essences Bio Renew Rosemary & Herbs Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner

The best Herbal Essences hair care combo since their stellar classics from the 90s! Yes, yes, yes!

Yves Rocher Monoï Eau Des Vahinés Eau De Toilette

Yves Rocher did an outstanding job with this fragrance!

Anna Sui Romantica Exotica Eau De Toilette

This Anna Sui fragrance is incredibly dreamy. I fell in love with it!

Jennifer Lopez Glow Eau De Toilette
Calvin Klein CK IN 2 U Eau De Toilette

Whilst I’m not a fan of the actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, I’m very fond of her Glow fragrance. Calvin Klein’s CK IN 2 U fragrance has been an everyday favourite for a little while as well.

UNE Casual Matt Colour Lipstick M08

UNE’s lipsticks are just wow!

January Beauty Awards

Hi there! It’s the last day of the month, so it’s time for me to tell you about my favourite products in January. I’ve chosen my favourites from all the products I’ve reviewed this month. And here they are:

3rd place – Sukin Anti-Pollution Oil Balancing + Charcoal Facial Masque

Sukin did an amazing job with this bamboo charcoal face mask. Results after the first use = great stuff!

Runner-Up – Gliss Hair Repair Total Repair Shampoo & Conditioner

This is one of Gliss’ best hair care combos. The shampoo is super soft and gentle, and the conditioner is incredibly effective. I love these 2 products!

WINNER – The Crème Shop Turmeric Face Mask

This mask is simply amazing. Yes, it does brighten skin, it is soothing, and the results are visible almost instantly. 11 stars!

Onto the honourable mentions! Derma V10‘s Cocoa Body Butter is pretty awesome, Treacle Moon‘s Honeycomb Secret Bath & Shower Gel is wonderful, my skin loved Nivea‘s Honey Mask, I enjoyed my Boo Bamboo Face Masks, and The Crème Shop‘s Santa’s List Charcoal Face Mask was super lovely too.

Gliss Total Repair Shampoo & Conditioner

Hi there! Today’s post is about Gliss Hair Repair Total Repair Shampoo & Conditioner. Whilst this hair care combo has been around for ages, I never actually tried it. I guess I favoured the look of the other Gliss products because they’re more colourful. However, I’ve now tried the Total Repair hair products, and here’s what I think.

Gliss Hair Repair Total Repair Shampoo is one of those shampoos that make hair feel super soft. The shampoo smells lovely (similar to all the other Gliss products), and I love that it doesn’t tangle up my hair. This is a great little shampoo!

Gliss Hair Repair Total Repair Conditioner is very nice too. It makes my hair feel super silky, and a little goes a long way. Gliss did an amazing job with this conditioner. It’s definitely one of their best conditioners!

I have noticed that my hair starts to get a little greasy if I use these products for more than 3 days in a row. So I am now using these products in a 2-1 rota. This means that I use these Gliss products for 2 consecutive days, then I use one of Alberto Balsam’s shampoo and conditioner combos for 1 day, then back to Gliss… and so on. This 2-1 rota works very well for my hair, and I love how my hair looks and feels. It’s a huge difference compared to the lifeless mess my hair was when I used Herbal Essences’ Cocoa products.

Gliss Hair Repair Total Repair Shampoo & Conditioner are available as 250ml and 200ml, respectively. They’re usually around £1 each, and they can be found in bargain stores such as Poundland, Poundstretcher, B&M Bargains and Home Bargains. I would recommend these products to those who want softer hair, and I think these products will make a difference for people with dry hair. I will definitely buy these products again!
