Garnier Fructis Goodbye Damage Fortifying Conditioner review



Official description:
Is your hair damaged, lifeless and prone to breakage?

Get ready to set your hair free with Goodbye Damage Fortifying Conditioner! Enriched with Keraphyll and Amla Fruit Oil, the powerful formula repairs hair from within, sealing split ends.

A double action to repair damaged, lifeless hair:
- On the inside : the formula penetrates into the hair fibre to fill in cracks caused by damage. Hair is strengthened from within.
- On the outside : the formula seals the cuticle for added strength. Hair is smooth through to the ends.

Packaging: Comes in an orange squeeze tube containing 200 ml.
Texture: Very thick, creamy. White color, pleasant fruit scent.
What it does: When I bought my current Schauma shampoo they didn't have any conditioners from that brand at the store, so I chose something from Garnier. My hair is long now pass my shoulders and it's tricky to take care of because the roots are getting oily fast and I have a sensitive scalp, but the ends are a little bit damaged because you know, wind, sun, hard water and so on. Therefore, I always use a shampoo suitable for greasy hair, but a conditioner suitable for dry or damaged hair and that combination works best for me. Now, about this conditioner. I wasn't too enthusiastic about the Garnier Ultra Doux conditioner I had in the past because it didn't do much for my hair, but the Fructis line surprised me pleasantly. I remember I had another conditioner and a shampoo in the past and I liked them. My hair is smooth, it has a nice shine, it's easy to style, so I have everything I want from a conditioner. This particular conditioner is in my top 3 for now. I haven't decided if I like Nivea conditioner more or not, but this one is great (I'm talking drugstore hair products here, I don't use professional stuff because they're too expensive for me).
Price: 10 lei (2 euros) in any supermarket
Re-buy or pass: Yes, I might just repurchase this conditioner.

Garnier Ultra Doux Heritage de Provence Conditioner review



I bought this conditioner being a marketing victim. I was shopping with my hubby for a new conditioner and after 15 minutes of staring at the shelves, I chose this new Garnier one. Because it's new and...I liked the packaging, so shoot me.
Official description: For dull hair,without shine, the new recipe combines essential lavender oil, known for its cleaning properties,with the famous Grasse roses which gives you smoothness and luminosity.
Packaging: I saw the cute lavender bottle and I couldn't resist. The bottle contains 200 ml.
Texture: It's more liquid than I thought it would be and I don't think it does much for dry hair. I'm happy for the shine and the detangled hair, but I don't have any major problems with my hair, just my scalp.
What it does: It's a normal conditioner, best suited for normal hair. My hair doesn't get greasy from it and the smell is amazing. I wish it could stay all day on, but I feel the scent only a couple of hours. Don't get this if you don't like lavender, because, when you apply it it's very strong. I can smell the roses too, but the lavender is overpowering. A bonus, it's paraben and silicone free.
Price: 9 lei (about 2 euro) from a local supermarket.
Re-buy or pass: Probably I won't repurchase this conditioner. I wanted to see how it is and it's ok, but I want something more for my hair.

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector review





Official description: Save time with just one multi-benefit product that offers advanced skincare + immediate skin perfecting coverage. This hybrid formula renews radiance, brightens complexion, evens skin tone, hydrates and protects with SPF15 UVA/UVB sunscreen. Get results you can see and feel instantly.

  • Renews, Brightens, Evens, Hydrates, Protects
  • SPF 15
  • Dermatologist tested
  • Packaging: Comes in a tube of 50 ml. I don't particularly like tubes because sometimes I get too much product out, but at leas it's more hygienic than a jar.
     Texture: It's pretty much similar to a light coverage foundation because it's thicker than a normal face cream. I have it in the shade Light and there's only another Medium one to chose from. On my hand it looks a bit dark because for the photo I got too much product out. It's very blendable and adaptive, so you can't really tell I have it on.

    What it does: It says on the box (which I no longer have) it's a daily 5-in-1 moisturizer, so I use it in the morning without any face cream. On days I stay pretty much at home, just going grocery shopping or something like that, I use it by itself, but on normal days I apply a foundation over it, because I have blemishes and acne to cover and it wouldn't be enough to use just a BB Cream. I dont' agree with what others say, that non-Asian BB Creams are just  tinted moisturisers, because I find it makes my skin look healthier, with a little bit of glow and just...better than without it. It's my first BB Cream, but so far I'm very happy with it and I wouldn't want it to be more like a foundation because I think moisturisers and foundations are supposed to be two different things. One moisturises your skin and makes gets it ready for make-up, and the other it's supposed to give you coverage and color.At least that's my opinion.
    Price: about 8 euro
    Re-buy or pass: For me, definitely a re-buy. It has also sunscreen, it makes my skin glow and I look fresh in the morning (my skin tends to be dull sometimes).
