Review: Proganix Anti-Fade Shampoo & Conditioner

*Disclosure* These products were provided complimentary for review purposes. All opinions are 100% honest and my own, like always!

Hey guys! This review is a long time coming because I had actually received these in the mail back in October, after I had gotten out of the hospital. I know, that's a long time, but I was trying to recover from being in the hospital, and I have so many different shampoos and conditioners in my stash that it took me a while to be able to try these! Anyways, Proganix sent me a very nice package of their Anti-Fade Shampoo and Conditioner, along with a few other products and hair goodies. 

 According to Proganix, they're shampoo and conditioner are said to be:

A color protecting blend with antioxidant rich cherry blossom extract, and UV filters, perfected in the salon, it helps reds to stay vibrant, blondes to shimmer, and brunettes to stay brilliant, giving you hair that you'll always love.

I ended up coloring my hair around the first week of November, and it ended up being this really pretty deep burgundy/purple shade. I figured that this duo would be a great test to see if it lived up to the claims. 

I first noticed the nice cherry blossom scent. I typically am not a huge fan of cherry blossom, but the scent in both the shampoo and conditioner are light enough to not bother me. For the shampoo claiming to be sulfate-free, it lathers nicely. I feel like it cleans my hair well without drying it out. The conditioner is amazing for my fine, tangly hair! It spreads out evenly and once rinsed out, it makes my hair feel so soft and tangle free without feeling greasy. 

I do feel like the Anti-Fade Shampoo and Conditioner helped to keep the color my hair was looking nice. To an extent, of course. Now that it's almost February, my hair is faded, but you can still tell that it's color treated. I think these are nice, but at a price tag of around $10 each depending on where you buy them, I'd say skip them. I'm honestly not terribly picky about the color in my hair fading though. 

What is your favorite shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair?

September 2015 Favorites

Hey guys! Today I'm going to be sharing with you some products I've been loving this past month. I was going to originally film a favorites video, but I didn't like how it turned out, plus I still feel pretty awkward talking to a camera. Anyways, here are the products!

The first product I've been loving is the Proganix Quench Coconut H2O + Electrolytes Conditioner. I do love the shampoo as well, but the conditioner is freakin' amazing! It makes my hair feel like silk, it makes it smell incredible, and I've noticed my hair feels cleaner longer when I use it. Amazing stuff!

Next up is the wondrous Tangle Teezer. I purchased this a little while ago because I've always heard good things. I have pretty fine hair that gets really tangled, especially after I wash it, so I wanted to see what the hype was about. This baby has been a miracle for my hair! I no longer struggle to get those little knots out, and I think it's been really helping to strengthen my hair as well. My husband has even stole this a few times since he's got incredibly thick, curly hair that can turn into dreadlocks if he's not careful, and he said he loves it. I will be buying his own soon!

Jaclyn Hill makes me want to buy EVERYTHING. Seriously, that girl can sell ice to an Eskimo. When I heard that she was collaborating with Becca Cosmetics in bringing out her very own highlight, I was excited for her, but not overly excited to buy it. Then she started using it in her videos and talked about it non-stop. I then had to get it, despite me not really being into highlighters. Champagne Pop is stunning, and surprisingly nice for pale girls like myself. I do have to use a light hand though, otherwise it will look like a stripe of gold on my face. So beautiful, and so worth the price. 

Next up is Revlon's lipstick in the shade Cherries in the Snow. I had posted this lipstick in my Favorite Fall Lipsticks post, and this is truly such a stunning red. It's got more of a fuchsia tone to it, which I feel is great for my skin tone. If only I had bought this lipstick sooner, because I think it may be my favorite red ever. 

My last favorite is from Ardency Inn, and it's their Modster Manuka Honey Pigment in the shade Hell. I cannot get enough of this shade when I want a darker bronze smokey look! It looks so gorgeous over the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. I did a review of the two shades I have here, and I kinda bashed them a bit saying that the shade range isn't that unique. while they might not be, this shade gets more beautiful the more I use it. I now want basically every color they make. 

What were some of your favorites last month? I'd love to know!

Review: Proganix Quench Coconut H2O + Electrolytes Shampoo & Conditioner

*Disclosure* These products were sent for review purposes. All opinions are 100% honest and my own, like always!

Hello everyone! I had the awesome opportunity to try out the Proganix Quench Coconut line, and was sent the shampoo, conditioner, leave-in moisture and moisture balm. I haven't really used the latter two products, so today's review is just on the shampoo and conditioner. 

Here is a bit about the shampoo and conditioner:

Proganix's Quench Coconut H2O + Electrolytes Shampoo & Conditioner power-packed blend of quenching coconut water supercharged with electrolytes and weightless coconut oil, perfected in the salon to drench your hair in weightless hydration, transforming dry parched hair into silky shiny perfection.

These products are mainly to be used on dry or parched hair, but I have seen that it's for all hair types as well. 

Depending on where you buy this, I've seen a big price jump, ranging from about $6 up to $10 for each bottle. 

First off, this duo smells INCREDIBLE! If you're a fan of coconut like I am, you will love this. It doesn't smell overly heavy like some coconut scented products can. Since it's got a mix of coconut water and oil, it's alot more lightly scented. Everytime I use these, my hair ends up feeling silky soft and I get whiffs of coconut throughout the day. The shampoo lathers nicely and rinses out well, and the conditioner is very hydrating. I do have pretty fine hair, so for me it's great. If you have thick hair, the conditioner might not be enough for you, but you will probably like the shampoo. 

Overall, the Quench Coconut line gets two thumbs up from me. I haven't had any problems with my hair since starting to use this, but I find the price to be a bit high. I've found it's cheapest at Target online, and Ulta sells it the highest at $9.99 for each bottle. Would I purchase these myself? Eh, maybe. I have a pretty big stash of shampoos and conditioners to use up, so once I go through it, then I'd make that yes or no decision. 

Have you tried anything from this line? What do you think of it?
