New Colour Vibe Shampoo

Change it up in 2017 with NEW Colour Vibe – wash in hair colour that is fast to apply as well as being totally fuss and mess free! Simply apply in the shower when washing your hair for maximum impact – with minimal time and effort required. 

Colour Vibe’s convenient and conditioning nature means you can start the week as a blonde, try Wednesday as a red head and the weekend partying with pastel tones. Or mash it up whenever you fancy with every colour in between. 

Colour Vibe is good to go wherever the mood takes you! How To Get The Vibe Simply wash your hair and shampoo as normal for a clean base to start from, wring out any excess water, then apply your chosen Colour Vibe and comb through to the ends to ensure an even application. Leave on for 5 minutes (or longer if you want a stronger colour), rinse thoroughly and condition as normal. 

Colour Vibe will cleanse, tone and care for your hair in an instant - whatever your colour choice, age or mood! There’s an amazing 13 shades to choose from and Colour Vibe lasts for up to three washes or until you start again.  The colours within the collection are:

• Blondes: Ice Blonde, Ash Blonde, Vibrant Honey Blonde, Soft Strawberry Blonde* 
• Reds: Warm Copper Gold, Radiant Red, Auburn*, Mahogany Brunette: Chocolate Brown 
• Pastels: Teal Breeze*, Lilac Dream, Pink Blush, Silver Touch

I was lucky enough to put these shades to the test and opted to try out Ash Blonde from the blonde range of colours and below are some before and after pictures of my hair. It is worth noting that of course in one wash my hair was not going to become bright blonde but what it did do was lighten the lighter blonde parts of my hair, which I was really impressed with.

If you fancy giving these a try then Colour Vibe is available exclusively at Boots and Boots.com priced at £2.99 and right now they are on a buy one get one for half price, so if there is more than one you want to try, then now is the time. 

• *Soft Strawberry Blonde, Auburn & Teal Breeze colours exclusively available at Boots.com

 • Colour Vibe won’t darken or lighten hair - blondes should use different blonde tones and pastels, mid tones should use mid reds, dark browns should use darker reds and chocolate brown.

L'Occitane New Intensive Hand Balm

If you love hand cream and especially that from L'Occitane then you will love the new Intensive Hand Balm which is enriched with 25% Shea butter to provide intense nourishing care, the Shea Intensive Hand Balm forms a protective film for dry to very dry skin.

Shea butter is a natural beauty balm, used by women in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since the 1980’s, L’OCCITANE has set up a sustainable and fair trade partnership with the women in Burkina Faso who produce it. The L'OCCITANE Foundation is involved in women's entrepreneurship supporting literacy, training and microcredit programs, as well as the development of companies created by women and I mentioned this over in the Solidarity Balm post which you can find here. 

Enriched with allantoin, a naturally moisturising and regenerative ingredient, this ultra-rich balm absorbs into the hands when applied and massaged in and it leaves your hands feeling soft, smooth, soothed and nourished without any trace or greasiness left on the skin.

If you love the original Shea butter hand cream, then you will absolutely adore this.  You can use this as a daily hand cream, or as an extra treat, use it twice-weekly as an intensive hand mask by applying a thick layer to hands and leaving for 10 minutes before massaging excess into the skin.

The Hand Balm costs just £21 and you can grab it right here.
