Hair Therapy: Ojon Damage Reverse Review

Ojon, Damage Reverse, shampoo, conditioner, restorative, oils, integral, Review,


I've been using this shampoo and conditioner for just over two weeks, and I'm so impressed with the results. For those of you who don't know, my hair is in a state of permanent distress. Years of golden blonde highlights have left it lacklustre and damaged.

This treatment is brilliant. My hair is noticeably glossier and smoother, you can see the difference. It may be a pricey treatment, but if your hair is in a bad way it's you only need the teeniest amount of the Rare Blend Oil to transform unmanageable locks - it's a great one for taming medium/thick hair.

Smashbox Hot Picks!

I'm a big fan of Smashbox products, they're cutting edge, stylish and look amazing. Here are some of my favourites...
Smashbox Brow Tech To Go in Taupe, £19
This clever retractable brow pen is really precise due to the angled tip. The formula lasts all day long and the colour can be intensified to your desired brow shade. It's great to pop in your handbag too.

A great mascara for lush, full lashes. It really opens up smaller eyes (like mine!) I love it.

A good, oil-free primer that provides the perfect base for foundation. Leaves skin feeling great!

Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush in Bloom, £23  (swatch below)

This mineral blush is gorgeous. You only need the tiniest of dustings on the blush brush to add a beautiful, illuminating warmth. Sweep over the apples of the cheeks for a dewy, rosy glow. 

Smashbox Waterproof Shadow Liner
Smashbox Waterproof Shadow Liner, £17

Smashbox Waterproof Shadow Liner
This waterproof liner is amazing for creating beautiful smouldering eyes. One of my favourite liners EVER, as you can create dramatic eyes in an instant. Simply line the eyes and smudge outwards, using the opposite end of the pen to help you along your way. Seductive come-to-bed eyes in approx. two minutes!

Braun Silk-épil 7 7681 Wet and Dry Cordless Epilator Review

Braun Silk-épil 7 7681 Wet and Dry Cordless Epilator Review

I've never used an epilator before - yes, I'm a cowardy custard - but I've had more and more people singing their praises to me. And with a mounting monthly waxing bill, it's a bit of a no-brainer to give this plucking equivalent a whirl. 
I was SO impressed. This epilator is cordless, works in the shower, has a handy little light and is just about as easy as can be. Lots of tiny little tweezers whip round to remove all those pesky little hairs.

This exfoliator comes with five different attachments. I used the high frequency massage attachment (pictured above) on my legs, and the exfoliation results were fantastic. Seriously smooth, hair-free legs. 

I have sensitive underarms, so much so that if I shave before the hair has regrown enough I end up with sore red patches - ouch! But I swapped the head attachment for one of the narrower ones (less plucking in one go, phew) and braced myself for the underarm terror. Not bad at all. The close-grip technology worked on hairs just a few millimetres long, and the lower grade setting meant the plucking pain was very bearable. No red patches, quick and easy.

The different heads are really easy to swap over

I haven't quite mustered up enough courage for the hair downstairs, but I was so impressed with the leg and underarm results. I've already saved a huge chunk in waxing costs, and it's a lot more convenient. Double win! xx
