Review: L'oreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm

Hi Everyone! 
I thought I would review something for hair today. Now some of you may know that I have insanely curly hair. It's ridiculous. My hair is also very dry and frizzy and I live off deep conditioners. Without deep conditioners, I do not even want to know what my hair would look like. So today I thought I would talk about a deep conditioner that has changed my hair. In a good way. I have tried so many deep conditioners and so I know a lot about them. 

This specific deep conditioner is the L'oreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm is part of a newish collection by L'oreal called the Total Repair 5. This collection is specifically targeted for people who have damaged, dry hair. L'oreal has other collections but this one caught my attention because of my specific needs.

Now on to the deep conditioner. What first drew me in to trying this product is that it was in a pretty big tub. Also, my mom had bought the shampoo and conditioner and it smelled really nice. When I first tried it, it said to keep it in your hair for 10 to 15 minutes. Now I normally keep deep conditioner in my hair for about 30 to 45 minutes. I know a bad habit. But I never had a problem, until I kept this product in for that amount of time. It made my hair incredibly dull and dry and frizzy and I was actually pretty mad about it. So I put it to the side and tried other deep conditioners. Then I went back to it and actually put it in for 15 minutes. And when I woke up the next day, my hair was smooth, soft, fluffy (in a good way) and not dull at all. I was really impressed. 

So if you want to try this product, don't leave it in for a ridiculous amount of time like I did. Actually leave it in for the amount of time it tells you to. Also, this product lasted me quite a long time. Normally I go through deep conditioners in like two months tops but I finished this after four months. Which was really impressive. I also like that this was in a tub so you had control of the amount of product you want to put into your hair. It helped me not go over board on deep conditioner. 

I do not actually know what the balm means and why it is important but I can tell it is a thicker consistency than most deep conditioners. Maybe that is why it is called a balm. 

I definitely give this product a four out of five. Now I do believe this will work for any hair type but if you have very fine hair, use about a dime sized amount. Also, this product works fine with color treated hair because I have color treated hair and it has not stripped the color out of my hair. But if you are nervous that it might, L'oreal has a line that is specifically for color treated hair, L'oreal Color Vibrancy.

I hope this review helps all of you who are having trouble finding a good deep conditioner. 

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

Spring Trends 2014!

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally here! I am so excited for spring because I am tired of the cold. But where I live it is still freezing.....oh spring, where are you? Anyways, I wanted to show you all my favorite Spring Trends for 2014! Even though summer is my favorite season, spring trends this years are really fun. My first favorite trend is blood orange lips! Now when I first saw this trend I got really confused because the blood orange color seems more like a summer trend. But this has been all over makeup magazines and this trend was also popular on the runway during Fashion Week. What I really like about this trend is that your whole make up look can be soft and dewy and the POW! Blood orange lips! The lips seem to make any makeup look put together. Plus it makes you stand out and then you will be a trendsetter. The next trend that I have been loving is pastels!  Pastels is always a trend during the spring time but pastels are just amazing! But this year it seems...
