Ok so we get the message that its Simple! so does it live up to its name.
 
The lotion is like most its a white colour and not to thick or runny so perfect consistency, it rubbed in to my face very quickly without residue or feeling at all greasy.
 
It promises 12 hour moisture well to be honest I don't really believe this as to be that hydrated all day would involve more than natural simple products and you may not be indoors all day hence if your out the weather may dry your face out so I never believe lotions or lipsticks that say "lasts for up to 8 or 12 hrs it always depends on your circumstances.
 
Overall I was impressed with this lotion very light and smells Divine so one I would keep for when my skin is extra dry.  So far no breakouts on my face and because of that alone its a winner for me.

Here's the info from Boots themselves-

 Ingredients

Sounded like a good all round perfume free night moisturiser, I used it for a few nights making sure I rubbed the thickish white cream well into my face and neck, my face was feeling especially dry as I had been using Retin A and needed extra moisture.
For a few days it seemed fine no problems and skin felt nice.  But about a week into using this I had a bad break out on my nose and a few on my chin.  It looked awful and to be honest I thought maybe something else was causing it, but two days after stoping the  usage of this cream the spots faded away, shame as this is a good price, felt nice on my skin and wasn't fragranced to high heaven with god knows what!.

I like to think people can use this but maybe if your like me and have the whole oily T zone face thing going on then go for something lighter like a serum or lotion to wear over your anti-wrinkle cream or under foundation etc.

I still think I would try other products from this range.


 

L'Oreal Elnett heat protect spray- straight hair review

L'Oreal Elnett heat protect spray- straight 3day 170ml

Heat protection spray purchased for £4.99 RRP is £5.99 so no big saving really
Decent size and nicely packaged.  Heres what the information I found giving this product a lot of hype at the minute what with Sheryl Cole once again promoting Loreal. (im a geordie so got to love her.)


L'Oreal Elnett Heat Protect Spray Volume is specially adapted to your volumizing blow-dry routine with heated appliances. The advanced triple action formula:
- Is enriched with Heat-Protect Technology, an active ingredient know for its heat protecting properties. The formula leaves your hair shiny and soft like satin.
- Helps create a voluptuous bouncy blow-dry and lock out flyaways and humidity.
- Locks in a voluminous style for up to 3 days.

How to Use

Press button to unlock the trigger.
Spray on damp hair from 15cm away. Its lightweight formula evenly covers your hair from root to tip for optimal results.
Comb through and blow-dry with a round brush.
For added volume, focus on roots and blow-dry head upside down.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately.



So the proof of the pudding is of course is in the eating! (not that I ate any of it lol!)
I purchased this with a slight uncertainty as somethings these things are so built up that when you use them you just end up disapointed with the hype,  I have quite long hair so wasnt sure how much to use you know what its like you use to much and it turns into a greasey mess and like most women I always use to much of something rather than to little.

So I washed my hair, towel dried it, sprayed the heat protection spray on on as evenly as I could and gently combed it through.  It wasnt sticky and smelt nice enough pretty much like normal hair products and was milky in colour.  I dried my hair ready to straighten it.  I was a bit disapointed to be honest as when straightend my hair it seemed a bit drier than normal.  But not one to give up (hey I paid £4.99 for this waste not want not!!) I used it again 2 days later and put a lot more on and combed it through slower, dried it again and I have to admit it was fab my hair was soft and shiney I deffinately had a Loreal moment "COS IM WORTH IT" lol.

Verdict is basically buy it buy it buy it!!  Every woman who uses heat on her hair needs this product.  Be aware of how much your putting on dont saturate hair to much but dont skimp on what you think you need, play around with this for a few washes.

I think the price is ok the bottles pretty big and its not like you use half the bottle in one go.

Ok you will be wondering about the straight 3 days that it promises, forget it!! what rubbish my hair is straight anyway after washing and blowdrying it etc after a night in bed the next day its bed head as normal all the way if your buying it for that forget it!

Becareful you pick the right one for you as there are 3 different kinds of this product you can purchase that im aware of-
Straight
volume
curls
 I did try to confirm this on Loreal website but some problem with their website!

Enjoy it cos your worth it lol!


 UPDATE
Its a few months on now and I still love and still use it!!
