Brilliant Brunette by John Frieda

Those who color their hair dark know the struggle of keeping the color deep and live.

For a good while now I've been dyeing my hair dark brown, so I got very excited when I found out I was selected to test John Friedas Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper hair products via Infuenster's Voxbox.

Here you can see the products I received:

• John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Shampoo
• John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Conditioner
• John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Treatment 

I have been using products for about a month now and I have to say that I really like them.

Smell is so nice - scent will trick you in thinking that you're at the hair salon only your wallet won't suffer as much.

Product texture is creamy and looks a lot like chocolate fudge (don't attempt to eat it). Each product has use instructions on the back that are very easy to understand. For better results in keeping color deep brown along the shampoo and conditioner use the treatment. 

You can read more about the products and other people experience on John Frieda (http://www.johnfrieda.ca/en-CA/ProductFamily/Hair-Care/Brilliant-Brunette) and/or Influenster (https://www.influenster.com/reviews/search?q=john+frieda+brilliant+brunette) websites.

Usually after about a month my hair color fades away - hair doesn't look shiny and color is looking dull, but using John Friedas Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper collection not only my hair color still looks great, my hair feels smooth to a touch and has a healthy shine to it!

I'm sure I will repurchase the products in future and definitely recommend brunettes give these a try!

L'oreal Paris Fibralogy VoxBox

I was super excited to receive my first VoxBox from Influenster (free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion). This one happened to be a hair thickening magic box filled with Loreal Paris Fibralogy products.

Fibralogy - word that I did not know prior this campaign. Let me quote L'oreal on this:

"The formulas with Filloxane coat the hair fibre and provide substance from within. The combination of its properties and those of hair allow Filloxane to remain inside for a cumulative thickening effect.

The key is its flexible material. The Filloxane molecule is a three-dimensional structure that has a double balance: organic and mineral.

This property lets Filloxane stick to the hair and create multiple connections. Filloxane is carried by water and can stick to the hair when the water goes away.

Filloxane increases the diameter of the hair fibre by several microns per hair. Over a whole head of hair, this gives the impression of mass."

1) Shampoo - a gentle cleansing base whose texture spreads easily and evenly for effective, lasting cleanliness;

2) Thickening booster - ultra concentrated pre-conditioning booster instantly increases the substance inside the hair;

3) Conditioner - a velvety soft texture that is easily spreadable from roots to ends and softens the hair fibre. 

My hair is pretty thin and after pregnancy, I lost a fair amount of my hair and they just never looked like before. Thickness and volume is something I always wish for. So when I found out, I'll be testing hair thickening products I was "all in"!

I love the product smell! Scent is airy, elegant and definitely not overpowering like a lot of hair care product can be.
Shampoo is more or less much like the other ones I've used before, texture and application didn't seem to be much different.
Thickening booster was more liquidy than I thought it would be, I felt a need to use more than suggested dime size, because it just wouldn't cover my hair otherwise. It could be length of my hair or just very runny texture.
Conditioner on the other hand was thicker that I was expecting it to be, almost like a cream or mask. I really liked that. It was very easy to apply it and I needed just a little bit of product to work it through my hair. Easy to wash out. After use it almost felt like my hair is covered with silky layer. Loved it!

I've been using product now for little over a week, still very early in the process, but I do honestly think it's working and has effect on my hair, unless I'm experiencing Placebo effect :)
Don't get me wrong, I'm no lioness, not hair wise anyways, but I see little more volume, that probably is a result of thicker hair. And I'm loving it!

I'm curious to see if using it long term will improve results in more visual manner.

So far I'm satisfied with this product line. L'oreal Paris Fibralogy seems to be working for me. Thank you Influenster and L'oreal Paris for campaign.
