Toni and Guy Cool Defining Cream Review

Hey lovelies,

Apologies for lack of activity but sadly I've been logged down with exams and university assignments. But, finally I am free of all that and I'm super excited to review this 'Cool Defining Cream'*.

Basic Information

Brand: Toni and Guy

Name of Product: Cool Defining Cream

Purpose of product: To create smooth and sleek hair 

Price: £7.49

Where to buy: Boots | Link

How much product do you get: 100ml

Who it's aimed for: Any hair type or thickness, but especially frizzy, unruly hair. 

Product Description

With ingredients that soften and moisturise your hair, Cool Defining Cream keeps your style sleek and smooth with an icy shine finish. 

How To Use

I applied this on damp hair, after washing it by squeezing a 2p size amount (as I have a lot of hair, so use as much as your hair needs) and rubbed it between my hands before running through the bottom half of my hair, especially my ends. I did go in with a heat protectant after this, just to be on the safe side. Also, I let the product sit for a few minutes before drying my hair. 

Pro's

I have honestly really enjoyed using this product. I find it doesn't weigh down my already thick hair, nor does it make it greasy. It's such a lightweight cream that still makes my hair look straight and sleek. Furthermore, it also left it noticeably softer and shiner and smelt delicious! The smell also lasted throughout the day, which is a must for me. I also love how little product you need, making it something you can use for a long time - perfect for those budget tight students. (like myself). As you can see from the picture below, the texture is definately a white/clear, creamy texture that doesn't feel thick, greasy nor sticky.

Con's

Overall, there wasn't majorly any cons. I found my hair didn't last as sleek nor as straight as the day progressed - but that on some days was done to Englands un-predictable weather. 

Should I buy it?/Do I recommend?

Yes. I definitely think you should buy it. I wholesomely recommend this product, as I feel it left my hair straight, shiny and definitely more easy to style the next day. So, next time you're looking for a straightening hair product don't hesitate to pick this up.

Skincare & Body Care Favourites

Hey everyone!

I'd just like to apologise for not updating but quite a bit has been going on in my personal life so I've honestly not had time. But I thought I'd start off by posting my favourite skincare and body care products I've been loving for the past couple of months and items I took on holiday with me and really enjoyed using. Click here to see my second post, (makeup favourites).

Skincare

Firstly is skincare and there has been four products that I have honestly become obsessed with for a while. Two of these products are from the Body Shop, the first is the 'Camomile Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover' this was really helpful on holiday as I was regularly using waterproof mascara, which is always a nightmare to take off! That was until this savior in a bottle swooped in and saved the day. It's soothing, creamy, removes my eye make-up easily and doesn't irritate my eye which most make-up removers do. Sadly the Body Shop has just recently redesigned the make-up remover, but the packaging looks much prettier. So, if you want to try it out just click here. Secondly, from the Body Shop is the 'Vitamin E Eye Cream' which is supposed to smooth, hydrate and protect the delicate skin around your eyes. I can fully agree with that statement. Also, even though it may seem tiny this has lasted me since March and there is still plenty left and I use it morning and evening so it's definitely got a fair amount of product for price. Check it out here.
Next, I've been loving the Clean and Clear 'Morning Energy - Shine Control' face wash. It contains tiny beads which gently exfoliate as well as wash my face. It definitely leaves me feeling clean, awake and revitalised. I can't say I've noticed a massive difference on shine on my face per say but I love waking up to washing my face with this wash and it's persuaded me to venture out and try some of the other versions Clean and Clear sell, check this one out here.
Finally, is a skin mask which is called 'Chocolate Mask' I purchased this from Wilko's and it is honestly amazing! It smells delicious, is not very messy at all to say it's a chocolate mask, it's gentle and is still effective. Sadly, it doesn't show up on the website but if you find it anywhere I definitely recommend purchasing it.

Body

Lastly is my body favourites of which two come from the ever wonderful Soap and Glory. They are the mini/travel size versions of 'Clean On Me' which is £2.50, and 'Flake Away' which is also £2.50. These sizes were absolutely perfect for taking on holiday and contained just the right amount for me. The 'Clean On Me' does smell quite plain compared to some of the other body washes on the market, but it is so creamy and gives such a luxurious feeling when using it. Furthermore, 'Flake Away' is quite a gentle scrub compared to other body scrubs but it stills works just as well, possibly even better. The fact it's less harsh leaves my skin still soft and nourished but also supple and smooth from scrubbing - the smell is delicious as well!

Finally, is the Body Shops 'Coconut Body Butter' for £13.00. Now I do understand that's a pretty steep price for a body butter, but it's so wonderful! It smells amazing, doesn't take ages to soak into my skin and fills my skin with moisture I didn't even realise it was lacking. Although I do have to admit I rarely, if ever, get dry skin so I don't often need to moisturise but this tub of magic seems to remind me to do it every time purely so I can just smell my own skin afterwards! (Weird... I know).
