BondiBoost Infrared Thermal Brush Bounce & Glow Kit with Heat Protectant
They say: A holiday bundle from the brand BondiBoost that features an Infrared powered Thermal Hot Brush along with a full-sized Heat Protect Spray. The viral styling tool is suitable for all hair types and uses infrared heat technology to style hair and reduce frizz with less damage to strands.
We say: We’re always down to try a viral new beauty item. The beauty tools feature a standard heat setting that can be modified to suit. Our tester applied a few spritzes of the heat protectant spray to her air-dried strands. Using the heat styling tool like a round brush during a blowout, our tester found the tool produced the smooth, voluminous appearance of a blowout — minus the blow-dryer. In short: it’s amazing.
Oribe Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment
They say: An in-shower hair treatment that features plant-derived humectants and conditioning agents, along with a ‘softening polymer blend’ to give strands a smooth, soft and glossy ‘glass-hair’ appearance. Suitable for all hair types.
We say: Our tester applied this treatment in place of her usual conditioner. Left on strands for 10 minutes, it was easy to apply and rinse out. After styling, her hair appeared noticeably more sleek and shiny. The effect lasted through a few washes, proving to be a nice boost between salon gloss treatments.
Clarins Double Serum Anti Aging + Anti Wrinkle Serum
They say: A new generation of the bestselling face serum that sees 22 plant extracts including turmeric, sea buckthorn, Mary’s thistle and a new-to-formula Provence tall reed extract address and stimulate five ‘vital functions’ of the skin.
We say: Already a fan of previous versions of the Double Serum, our tester was excited to put this new release to the test. With good skin coverage and a smooth feel, our tester noticed her skin felt more hydrated and fine lines appeared lessoned with use.
