[REVIEW]: July Test Box 2015

First Impressions of The July Test Box

 

 

Dumb Blonde? Who you calling a Dumb Blonde? Don't worry TIGI, I've heard all the jokes before ;)

 

How gorgeous are these products? This is what you can expect in your July Test Box.

What's up with the packaging you may ask? Well The Test Box has partnered up with a few brands to create their own packaging so we can have more samples from more brands that don't offer sample sizes.

 

I used these products over the weekend so this is a first impressions post because I decided to keep the rest for my trip to Zambia in August because I enjoyed them so much!

 

 

This pink, shimmery shampoo has a sweet fragrance that reminds me of sweeties from when I was young and is a 'sticky' consistency which means you only need a small amount. It contains keratin and milk protein which helps rebuild your hair's strength and cares for chemically treated blonde hair. Being a blonde myself, this is perfect to help keep my hair healthy and shiny.

 

 

This conditioner definitely has a fruity scent to it, plus the colour reminds me of a smoothie. It's a light weight conditioner that is actually referred to as a reconstructor as it helps restore the hair at it's core and protects the strands. It adds hydration and left my hair feeling soft and smooth. Plus I just have to add again, it smells divine.

 

 

This smoothing cream is perfect for after the party, and by party, I mean letting my hair dry naturally :P You all know from reading my blog that I try let my hair dry whenever possible but sometimes it has a bit of a frizz vibe to it so this is great for those fly-aways.

 

This box is R160.00 and is available here. You can also head to the Test Box website for prices on the full sized products.

 

Have you used TIGI (which is cruelty free) before?

[REVIEW]: The Test Box - May 2015

May 2015's Edition of The Test Box - Plump It Up!

 

 

I've spoken about The Test Box on my blog before (here in this post and here in this post linked to my YouTube) and I really love the concept of it. The reason as I've mentioned before it that you get proper samples to test out, not just a small sachet that you can only use once! This is great when it comes to hair care as often you need to test it properly before committing to buying a big bottle.

 

The first thing that caught my attention with the Plumping Range from Kevin Murphy was the scent! It has a subtle floral scent and contains the notes of orchid, white floral and citrus extracts - hmmmm! The next thing for me was testing if it really did 'Plump Up" my hair and the best way for me to test this was to let my hair air dry! When I air dry my hair, it goes limp but I usually tie it up in the week when it's like that so that I can save myself from damaging it with heat. The verdict? I actually had some volume! I was quite impressed to say the least!

 

 

The May Test box will cost you R160.00 but you get these the small shampoo and conditioner, plus a divine body candle that is perfect for winter! If you're keen to buy the full sized Kevin Murphy product, you can use the code Murphy.Me when you check out and you'll get R30.00 off! Another great thing is that you don't have to subscribe for a certain amount of time, you can order for just the one month if you want!

 

 

For more info check out The Test Box website.

 

Can we also just chat about how cut the Kevin Murphy bunny is? Yay for being cruelty free!
