Yves Rocher Summer Ready Hair


You may have recently seen that I worked with Yves Rocher on a smokey eye makeup look (if you missed that you can find it here). I was super impressed with everything I tried and over the moon when Holly asked if I wanted to try some hair care bits. I've mentioned it loads of times on my blog now but I really do not take care of my hair at all. I know I should try a lot harder than I do but I'm just lazy, there isn't much more I can say about the matter so I was excited to get using these.

I really wanted to save this until last as it is by far my favourite product out of all these but I didn't want to go against the order of the photo (ha ha ha!) but this product is just indescribable. I have never, ever heard of anything like this for your hair. Why on earth would you want to put vinegar on your hair?! It literally made no sense. Then I smelt it. And uh. If you follow me on Twitter or have liked my Facebook page you would have probably seen me writing about this on there because this thing is just insane. I cant even describe it! The smell is incredible. After smelling this all day on the day I got it, I had to make raspberry jelly later that night. I've never smelt any kind of hair product like this, it smells so good I could honestly eat it. I recently went blonder and have been using Touch Of Silver shampoo and although the shampoo is amazing and does a great job, it leaves my hair dryer than dry. I have been using this afterwards and not only does it leave my hair smelling lushious, it 100% leaves it very shiny. I will definately be repurchasing this once I've used it all up.

I'm such a sucker for a 2 in 1 product and this hair and body wash is exactly that. The idea that you don't have to take two separate products excites me. Yup, I am lazy I'll admit. This product has a smell that I just cannot put my finger on and honestly, I've sat smelling it for ages and I still cant work it out. I want to say play-dough but I know it isn't that, I just cant work out what it is! I have been using this daily and it's a really nice body wash. It lathers really well and the scent does stay on your body too. A super body wash for the price and again, I think I shall be repurchasing again! 

If I'm being honest I haven't actually put this on my hair yet as I was worried about it. As I'm blonde, I was so scared that it would tinge my hair as its slightly orange BUT I have been using it on my body (I'm not even sure if it's for the body?!) and it is such a lovely product. I can imagine applying this on my legs and arms when wearing a summer dress as it adds a really lovely glow and has tiny glitter particles in it too which reflect in the sun. It has the same scent as the body wash which is lovely and again, lingers on the skin.

This shampoo is a non-lathering shampoo and contains no sulfates or parabans and is silicone and colorant free. It is inspired by the 'no shampoo shampoo' hair regime that came from America. Although I do like my shampoos to foam so that I feel they are actually working, I do really like this one (and I am usually very fussy about shampoos!). It's a really thick consistency, much like a hand or body cream which feels wrong putting it in your hair. You start at the roots and work down, however I tend to use waaaay too much product because I don't feel like I've covered it all!

Again I am very impressed by Yves Rocher! This brand is hitting the beauty blogging world by a storm and I am a huge fan! Have you tried anything from the brand?

Yves Rocher Makeup | Smokey Eye Look


Is it bad I had never tried Yves Rocher makeup until an email appeared in my inbox recently offering me to try some bits? My nan knew exactly who they were. Maybe a generation thing? I haven't got a clue. But I'm pleased to tell you I'm a huuuuge fan. I was sent all the perfect things to make a nice smokey eye look which is exactly what I did.

Firstly I received the Fixing Eyelid Primer £7.50*. A tiny bit of this goes such a long way and the tube would definitely last you the longest time! I always use a eye primer so I can't say I've noticed the biggest lot of difference, its similar to my others.

Secondly I received the Quad Eyeshadow Palette £12.50* in brown. The quad contained 2 shimmers and 2 matte colours, with 2 of the horrible eyeshadow brushes that all beauty bloggers hate (including me!). I wasn't sure what to expect as I try an awful lot of eyeshadow palettes and as you all know I have my serious favourites. But guess what? It's bloody fab. Yup, amazing. Surprisingly good. 

I also received Intense Kajal 100% liner £9.95* which is a kohl liner. I found it stupidly easy to use and blend, and the shape of the packaging/product is really cool too.

On to the piece de resistance, the Vertige Volume Mascara £11.50*. Well, we all know what a mascara snob I am. You might have seen on my social media recently that I tried the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara (new fave) which I LOVE and I was sure nothing could beat it. This mascara doesn't beat it, but it does match it which is a very hard job. If your ever on the hunt for a new mascara and your stuck in a rut of which to try, I would 150% recommend this one.

In the pictures above I have shown you my look that I did using all these products, as well as just the mascara on its own so that you can see what it looks like. I'm sure you'll agree it looks good, no? I also really loved all the packaging for all the products. They were clean, chic and simple but worked amazingly. They do the job and are very pleasing to the eye! 

Have you ever tried Yves Rocher? What was your favourite bits?
