Dia daoibh!
Last year, L'Oreal launched the Pure Clay range of facemasks. The range went down a storm with skincare fans.  Just recently, they have launched 3 matching face washes.  I introduce to you,the L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Purity Wash, Glow Scrub and Detox Wash.
First off, the packaging. Each face wash comes in a 150ml, pastel army green squeezy tube. The Pure Clay Purity and Pure Clay Detox are both face washes. The green Purity version is more of a cream wash and the blue Detox version is more of a gel wash.  They are both soap-free so your skin won't be left with that tight feeling after washing. The Pure Clay Detox is a a scrub containing little microbeads.

Each of the three face washes contain the following 3 clays:
 Kaolin- a highly effective natural clay, known to absorb impurities and excess sebum 
Montmorillonite- rich in minerals, a clay recognised for helping to eliminate imperfections 
Ghassoul- a pure clay highly concentrated in minerals, renowned to help clarify complexion 

Purity Wash - for a purified deep clean

This one contains Eucalyptus extract, which known for its purifying properties. It aims to give you clearer, fresher skin, without shine. Its non-drying gel texture transforms into a light foam, eliminating impurities and excess oil, and visibly reducing shine. 

Benefits - skin is deeply cleansed and purified, with excess oil reduced.

Glow Scrub - for a healthy glow

This scrub contains Red Algae extract and exfoliating micro-beads for brighter, smoother and fresher skin.. Its non-drying texture transforms into a light foam and releases the micro-beads, which exfoliate impurities and dead skin cells, leaving skin smoother and brighter. 
Red Algae- known for its brightening properties and will leave your skin with a healthy glow.

Benefits - skin feels deeply cleansed, purified and refined. Pores feel tighter. With continued use, skin is visibly transformed, smoother and has an even, healthy glow.

Detox Wash - to draw out impurities for a skin detox

This gel wash contains Charcoal for clearer, fresher skin.. The dark tinted blue gel transforms into a light foam once in contact with water, which detoxifies the skin's surface by capturing impurities, including excess oil and make-up residue. Charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out impurities from the skin

Benefits - skin is deeply cleansed and purified

PRICE & WHERE TO BUY

Each of the Purity Clay washes are priced at €7.99 in Boots but I found them for €6.85 from Inish Pharmacy >HERE< plus use promo code FITZNBITZ for an 10% off that!

I have new hair!!! Well; not new hair, but a new colour!! Have a read of >THIS POST< to see lots of before and after pics! I visited Peter Mark Salon in the Crescent Shopping Centre where Marcella revamped my hair. She was wonderfully helpful and thorough whilst doing my hair so I highly recommend her to anyone. Here's how I went from A to D!

My hair is naturally very dark brown. I have been visiting salons and dying my own hair for years.... I'm talking about 10 years so as you can image  there was A LOT of colour build up so there were different bands of stubborn colour in my hair. I also had roots as I was purposely leaving it grow out. Although not very obvious in photos, in person I had 4 different bands of colour in my hair so obviously this was gong to cause a problem if I wanted to go lighter. It all needed to be evened out before dying so I had my hair "stripped" or "cleansed" as it's known professionally.
Marcella used a water cleanse on me. There is also a full on cleanse which can be quite damaging so she wanted to avoid this if at all possible....

As some of you may know if you follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, yesterday, I went to get my hair done. I had an idea in my head that I wanted to go lighter to a light copper auburn shade. Have a read of >THIS POST< to get a step by step journey! I visited Peter Mark Salon in the Crescent Shopping Centre after being lucky enough to capture a "bubble" from the new INOA App that L'Oreal released to promote their new hair colouring system. My colourist and stylist on the day was Marcella who really done a wonderful job. To be honest I have heard both positive and negative reviews about Peter Mark Salons, but my experience was a great one. I was welcomed and Marcella went through what I wanted, she gave me her opinions and bit by bit my new hair came together. Here are some (lots of pics).

I started off with dark brown which had a reddish plum tint to it and it gradually fell down to an ombre'd copper kind of colour. Here is the before and after!!

Dia daoibh.

One of the newest and most exciting hair colourant products in my opinion is on shelves now.  L'Oreal Paris Préférence Wild Ombrés  is "the first ever mass market dip dye". In the past 2-3 years in particular Ombré and Balayage have been huge. I myself have dabbled and am still rocking the two toned style. In the past it has been possible to DIY it at home using bleach/peroxide products. I'm aware that these two word scare the life out of people so I therefore believe that L'Oreal have made a great move at producing this product.
