Mend My Hair.

Umberto Giannini –
Mend My Hair Collection
Rebuild Strengthening Damage Repair Shampoo
This moisturising shampoo cleanses without stripping colour and moisture, rebuilds strength and elasticity of hair damaged by colour, heat and dehydration. With Pro-Vitamin B5, conditioning milk protein, liquid shea butter and ginseng extract. Sulphate free.”
This was the product I was most surprised by. It smells gorgeous, it has that distinctive Umberto Giannini scent (which I love) and it felt incredible when washing my hair. When I was rubbing this product into my hair I was really shocked at how nourished my hair was feeling straight away, the product itself felt like shampoo but my hair felt like it had conditioner on it. Even after washing the shampoo out my hair felt so nourished, it didn't feel dry or stripped like I find other shampoos do.

Recover Nourishing Damage Repair Conditioner
Recover and control parched and unmanageable hair with this super hydrating conditioner that detangles, smooths and strengthens and gives a daily nourishing repair boost. Created for hair damaged by colour, heat and dehydration, this moisturizing restorative conditioner with enriching avocado oil and milk protein that delivers superior conditioning and colour radiance.”
This smelt exactly the same as the shampoo and didn't feel any different to the shampoo either, just a thicker, creamier consistency. When massaging this through my hair, my hair felt the same as the shampoo did - really nourished, really soft and already really healthy. My ends are always dry and when I get out the shower they can look a little bit like broken bits of straw (yuk) especially if I let my hair dry naturally. I towel dried my hair a little and waited about 20 minutes for my hair to semi dry. My ends looked so healthy, they didn't look dry in the slightest! 

I'm so impressed with this shampoo and conditioner!
They smell gorgeous and left my hair feeling and looking so healthy.

Therapy Intensive Damage Repair 5-in-1 Oil
“The perfect blend of oils and nutrients to deliver 5 results using just 1 product. Strengthens & repairs, smooths & softens, conceals split ends, tames & controls and adds shine.”
I used this once my hair was semi dry. It smells exactly the same as the shampoo and conditioner does and a little goes a long way with this product. It didn’t make my hair frizzy like some oils I’ve used and my hair dried super silky, shiny and it look super healthy. I also tried this through my dry hair after straightening it and it left my hair looking and smelling amazing.

I'm really surprised at how great my hair looks and feels after one use of these products not to mention how great it smells.

I’ve never tried anything from Umberto Giannini, however how I really think I’m going to try more from their range. Their Overnight Magic Hair Repair particularly intrigues me.

Have you tried anything from Umberto Giannini?

April Wish-List.

I know I haven't done a wish list for a long time, so I thought because there are a few things I have my eye one I would do a wish list post. Some of these things I’ve had my eye on for a while, some I’ve seen in store, others are what I’ve seen as pre-releases. A lot of them as you will see are Dior, which is financial my downfall...but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...right?!



Miss Dior Blooming Banquet
"Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, the fresh and tender new facet of Miss Dior, Dior’s Couture fragrance for today's elegant young ladies. This delicate floral bouquet, composed of peony accords and subtle sparkling fruity notes, leaves a fresh and elegant signature, with a touch of irreverence."

Dior Diorskin Nude Shimmer Powder in 001 Pink
"More than a finishing powder but less than a blush/bronzer, these powders are all about ‘radiance’. Ultra finely-milled and with the softest shimmer you can imagine, one sweep of a brush swirled through the pan is enough to give your skin a light-kissed look, without ever coming across as overdone."

Dior Vernis in 155 Tra-La-La
"Adding the final touch to finger nails, Dior Vernis nail polish combines lacquered shine with impeccable hold. A cocktail of shine and sparkle amplifying active ingredients directs pigments and pearly particles to enhance light reflection tenfold."

Dior Addict Fluid Stick
"Dior Addict Fluid Stick enables a flawless application in a single sweep: the high-impact colour and long wear of a classic lipstick, combined with the shine of a gloss, all in a thin film that delivers sensational comfort. Colour and shine come together as one for maximum impact with intense, long-wearing lip stain pigments directly encapsulated in spheres of gloss."

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer in 005 Fresh Pink
"Dior presents a revolutionary lip care system that boosts volume instantly and restructures in the long term, thanks to a unique blend of hyaluronic and marine-based fillers that smooth, moisturize and leave lips irresistibly plump. Apply under regular lipstick or gloss for volume and shine, or morning and night as a 15-day intensive cure. Its fresh mint-vanilla scent makes it even more addictive."

Lancome Lip Lover
"Lip Lover is our first all-in-one lip perfector. Its hybrid formula gives the comfort of a balm, the eye-catching colour of a lipstick and the enhancing shine of a gloss. Adjustable colour. Buildable Shine. Lasting Comfort."
