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

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the  L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

Bye Bye Stretch Marks!

Hi everyone! I am sorry I have not posted a blog post in a couple of days! I was not feeling well but I am back and ready to blog again! Now this blog post is a little personal but I feel like almost everyone suffers with it.....and it's stretch marks! Stretch marks are when light or dark lines appear on your stomach or thighs when you have gained weight or  when the elasticity in your skin has stretched. I used to have stretch marks on the sides of my stomach and it made me very self conscience of my stomach. The reason why I got stretch marks was because I had gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time. But with these two products the stretch marks are almost gone! Now I will tell you my secret tip to lightening your stretch marks and soon they will be gone! The first product to use is the  Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Cream Unisex by Palmer's . I have used this for years before I started to get stretch marks. This is a very thick cream that rejuvena...
