New Products I'm using aka Alverde Review

Again Alverde *gg* I'm in the process of checking out a lot of their products and since my Body Shop shampoo is empty, I needed a good alternative.

Alverde Coffein Shampoo and Tonic:

At the moment I make a pause from dyeing my hair black, I already miss it, but I'm still not sure if I don't want my "natural" hair colour back to get more possibilites. Maybe even make it lighter.. I don't know, what do you think?

But let's move on to the review:

Since I don't need a shampoo for coloured hair at the moment I chose the coffein shampoo, which is against thin and fine hair. It is with green coffee, never heard of that in a shampoo, but why not.

Shampoo:

I'm still not totally sold on the shampoo and that is becauce of the smell. The shampoo itself is great, you don't need much and it foams nicely, which I want and it's silicone free. The problem, as stated, is the smell. When you shampoo your hair it actually smells like a bean, like a green coffee bean. So you kinda have the feeling you massage a plant into your hair, which isn't that great. The good thing though is that the smell doesn't last at all. You really only smell it during shampooing and then it's gone, so it's not that bad. Your hair feels clean and fresh. :-)

Tonic:

I never used a hair/scalp tonic before and I love it! *gg* It is so funny. You use it after you towel dry your hair. It has a water consistency and smells great! Thank god.. It smells like a mixture of green and lemon ice tea. You put it all over your scalp and massage it in, like you would do with a hair colour, it also has the same kinda bottle top.

It does !not! clump you hair or makes it sticky, you can brush through your hair and it feels like nothing is on your scalp. I can totally recommend it, I love using it. :-)

In a nutshell: I can recommend both products, the smell of the shampoo is a bit weird, but it's not that bad. The tonic is gorgeous and both products are free of artifical stuff, what do you want more. :-) I will repurchase both items.

Augentrost eye cream:

This is a very rich and intense eye cream and it does a great job, what I don't like about it is that it is a bit sticky. That feeling goes away after a few seconds, but if you get it in your eyebrows they stick together like crazy. An unpleasent feeling, like you put glue in them. Nevertheless, it does moisturise your lid area very well and that is the most important thing and you only need a tiny amount of product.

In a nutshell: If you have very dry lids and don't mind that you have to be careful where you put it, go buy it. :-)



I hope this was informative and useful.
