Philip Kingsley - Quite impressed!


The fantastic Beauty Bulletin Babes sent me some goodies to test out! Woohoo! My Brazilian blowout didn't turn out the way I thought it would which I'm quite sad about, I was thinking I could have spent all that dosh on something else! A weekend away even. *Sigh* Bygones.


So after needing some hair beauty boosting and pampering I was delighted to receive a Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Shampoo and Condtioner and the Elasticizer. I tried them out immediately!
The Verdict : Excellent products, my hair did feel softer and was definitely shinier and looked healthier. They are all great detanglers and I was super pleased that the pesky knot (the one that shows up now and then near the nape of my neck) was obliterated. Today I used some Tresemme just to see how big the difference is. My hair feels so bleh in comparison and definitely not as soft. I'm truly impressed with the Philip Kingsley.





With Elasticizer




Lol, I was in search of a new red lipstick, since I
lost mine from MAC and I couldn't remember what it was called.


Elasticizing


Really love the bottles






After the 1st use of the products.OOOOOh so shiny



No additional styling aids or products, it just
smoothly set into my natural waves





Sorry Bad picture quality, took this with my Blackberry



After the second use. Also I'm not a hair drying maverick, this
is my hair naturaly dried with no hair dryer or Ghd. Also no additional products
were used , just the Philip Kingsley stuff. I'm pretty damn impressed!



Love the flip top squeeze bottle, really
easy to handle





The Beauty Bulletin Bounty (yes,on a yoga mat)



Awesome stuff!

  1. My mum has good skin. So I just briefly took one of her SKII to use, which I assume is a moisturizer. It's good man I tell you! She gave me a small bottle of eye cream before but the effects weren't that great and I stopped using. But my mum's eye cream is good! I can feel it reacting once I applied it

  2. Hi Gillion I looked up SK-II - yes it's a range of skincare - Apparantly Cate Blanchett's choice of skin care!
