shu uemura

This has done absolutely nothing to take out the brassiness except turn parts of my hair blue (my boyfriend commented the other day "why is your hair blue?" LOL). I've used it a few times and taken before and after photos and there is zero difference. It gets an extra lippy because it is a nice treatment. As a deep conditioning treatment alone I'd be willing to give it 4 lippies but I'm reviewing it on what it claims to do and it unfortunately falls flat.

I had a love affair going on with all things Shu for a while- when my hair was waist length. I thought I needed their Art of Hair line, so bought all of their hair products, and loved them for at least their scent alone.
alas, I have finally cut my hair short and realize how many hours and dollars I spent on all that hair.

I like this hair spray. it it is a pump that you have to keep pressing for it to spray (vs spraying once and waving your hand while spraying)- not too big on that aspect.
#1 ingredient- alcohol. then polyurethane. then acrylates.
so it makes your hair crunchy, but it holds it in place.
the fragrance is reminiscent of LOTV, and hangs around
too expensive ($39/6.3oz) to repurchase

I have only started using this three weeks ago and since then I have noticed some improvements on my lashes. I have thin, short lashes and they have a natural curl at the corners but you couldn’t see them as they are so thin. I love that the applicator is like a mascara wand and it lets me get the product right into the roots of my lashes and the corners and it’s small enough that I am able to apply onto my lower lashes. Since using the lash booster I have noticed that my lashes look more fuller and a little longer with mascara and experienced minimal lash fall out when removing product off my eyes. I tend to apply at night before bed and sometimes I’d wake up in the morning to gunky eyes from the serum which is so far my only con. The price is pretty decent compared to other lash boost serums on the market so I am happy with it.

I don’t use any other cleanser except shu for 7 years now. But this type is atrocious. There is an oily film even after washing and I literally have to go out and buy another cleanser to wash this oily film off. I really like the gel consistency though. It’s easier to manage than the oil. I’m going to stick with my go to anti/oxi

It is a very fluid lotion that is applied to towel dried hair before blow drying.
It does provide heat protection and does not weigh fine hair down.
Hair is bouncy and light, yet I find this product still a bit heavy in my hair after drying.

It does contain conditioning agents and the formula is thought through and well created.
Fragrance is not too strong and many will find it pleasant.

I just find Kerastase Ciment Thermique a superiour product with an even lighter yet conditioned feel on fine hair.
