L'Oreal Kids Extra Gentle 2 in 1 Strawberry Smoothie Shampoo
by MrsD76
~~~~~~~~
Silly singing
~~~~~~~~
I have written on here before about the trauma involved in washing my daughter's hair! Thankfully now she is four things have got slightly easier and the method that works for us is for her to hold a flannel over her eyes while we take it in turns to sing a silly song!
Like me she ... has naturally curly hair that can get itself in a tangle, so I always hope that any shampoos I buy for her help me to keep it soft and tangle free. And this shampoo promises to eliminate knots and leave hair smooth. It currently costs £2.19 in Boots, but as always do look around for offers!
~~~~~~~~
Fruity locks
~~~~~~~~
I love fruit fragranced products so this of course appealed to me! I also hoped it would help my daughter enjoy washing her hair a bit more too.
The bottle itself is very pink and girlie and is actually designed to look like a fish if you place it on its side. Although this doesn't really work very well to be honest! But anyway it is what's inside that counts...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rich and lathery
~~~~~~~~~~~
The shampoo is a nice thick texture and I have made the mistake in the past of using a bit too much of this on my daughter's hair. It only takes seconds to get a nice rich lather, and I find that if I accidentally overdo it, it can take ages to wash out. This can be tedious, and quite annoying when I am trying to keep up with the singing of the silly song! So I definitely think a little goes a very long way, and this bottle seems to be lasting us for ages as a result.
The smell is lovely and both myself and my daughter both absolutely love it. It is very sweet and fruity, and to be honest I would be quite happy to use a product myself with this smell!
As I mentioned before, this can take a little bit of time to wash out of my daughter's hair, which is why I don't use too much of it, but once it's washed out her hair does feel soft and smooth. However the ends can sometimes still be a little tangled, and I do occasionally add a little of my own conditioner to the ends of her hair to give them an extra touch of moisture.
Once her hair is dry, it definitely feels really soft and clean, and has a nice cute fluffiness about it! The smell is also there lingering a little.
~~~~~~~~
In summary
~~~~~~~~
Overall I really like this shampoo and would buy it again. My only slight complaint would be that it can be a bit tricky to wash out, and that it isn't quite moisturising enough for my daughter's hair but in the main I really like it. It smells lovely, and a little goes a long way!

L'Oreal Kids Soothing Lavender Shampoo
by lorrainek858
I love trying out new shampoos and a few months ago I took a notion of the Lavender Loreal Kids one, I picked it up on complete impulse after having a little sniff of the shampoos in Tescos and decided to give it a go.
Application
This shampoo is really easy to apply, you simply take a small dollop and lather it up and ... rinse it out, I found that this shampoo is really easy to rinse out (probably because it is for use on children) and I found it easy to apply and rinse out. An added bonus is that this shampoo is tear free so it is gentle if it gets in your eyes and does not sting or irritate them too much.
Scent
This shampoo has a real lavender scent to it, it is lovely to use when you are washing your hair at night time and want to chill out and relax, the scent is not too over powering, but it is noticable. I really love the lavender scent and it kind of reminds me of the beautician and pampering.
What I Thought
I really liked this shampoo, it makes my hair look really shiney and feel really clean and fresh. I find that when I use this shampoo my hair does not need to be washed as frequently and it keeps its style and volume much longer.
I really loved the scent from this shampoo and found that it lingered nicely in my hair, it is lovely to use at bedtime as it has quite a relaxing, calming scent and it really helps you wind down after a hard days work.
I know this shampoo is aimed at childrens use, but I found that this shampoo is just as good to use on my own and I would definitely recommend it to use as an every day shampoo as it does not weight down your hair and just leaves you with silky, fresh hair.
Price and Availability
You can buy a 250ml bottle of this shampoo in Tesco for £1.99, I think that this is a great price for this shampoo and will definitely buy it again in the furure.
Overall
I really liked this shampoo, it has a really calming scent to it and it left my hair really clean and easy to manage, also it is easy to rinse out and has a no tears formula. Overall I would give this shampoo 5 out of 5 stars.

L'Oréal Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen Re-Plumper
by UK1981_female
A few months ago I was trying out lots of different face creams to try and find an ideal one to suit my skin type and also because now that I'm in my thirties, I feel I need to pay extra attention to my skin to slow down the ageing effect! I have tried creams from varying price ranges but I think I've found the one that I like the best - ... L'Oreal Collagen Re-Plumper (with collagen biospheres - night).
The name of this cream does suggest that it is a night cream but I must say that I use it as both a night and day cream. This is because most day creams that I have tried just don't seem to be moisturising enough. This includes more expensive creams that make all sorts of claims about being hydrating. I find that this night cream by L'Oreal is just right for my skin which is mainly dry but can get greasy at times in the t-zone (I have combination skin but it's definitely more dry than greasy).
This cream contains collagen biospheres and claims to 'plump' up the skin. I must admit that I do not usually fall for claims such as these and am not convinced that collagen biospheres can and are formulated in a way that allows effective delivery to the skin. But what I can say about this product is that it feels good on my skin and that it smells good! When applying this to my face, my skin instantly feels softer and elasticated, which of course is a very pleasant feeling. In terms of how it makes my skin look I will say that my skin definitely has a youthful glow and looks soft after application, but as I am blessed with good skin, I'm not sure how much of this is down to the cream. The cream also smells great to me which is important because if I'm going to be wearing it all day it does need to smell good! The smell is very 'clean' and also has a feminine feeling to it, which I like.
The consistency of the cream is slightly thicker than most day creams. But that's to be expected as it is designed to be a night cream. Like I said I do not mind this at all as I prefer a cream to have a thicker consistency as it feels like it leaves my skin feeling more moisturised than most normal (and often expensive) day creams would.
The price of the cream is also very reasonable especially when on special offer. I seem to be lucky as every time I need to buy a new pot (I'm now on my third over a period of around 8 months) it seems to be discounted. I think the full price is £15 for 50 ml, but I bought my last pot for £7.99 from Boots.
In conclusion I love this cream and am unlikely to keep trying new creams as I think this one suits my combination skin really well. People with naturally greasy skin might find that it makes their skin more greasy but I definitely don't have this problem.
