Ok,I have long combination hair (non-coloured) that tends to get greasy at the scalp and dry at the ends.I blow dry my hair to finish it so it can get damaged.
This is the second lot of this shampoo and conditioner I have purchased.I have tried most of the TIGI hair care range now. Excellent all- round product, hair feels like a million dollars! No static or residue, easy to style. (have just purchased the Dream Drops Shine Serum and Moulding Clay)
No need to apply a large amount of either product,lathers easily and the fragrance is divine. Also I do not need to wash my hair daily now-just every other day. The fact that it is sulfate free is a bonus too.
The bottles are easy to use with great pump dispenser for those slippery hands in the shower. Couple this with a great price from Escentuals and you're on to a winner!

Ok just to clarify, I'm not looking for a very thick- cover- anything foundation, just one that enhances my own complexion, covers the fine spider veins and blemishes and revitalises that tired look thats seems to hit your skin in your 40s! (add to this some lip stick and blusher and that is enough for me)
Purchased this for first time after using Clarins Everlasting Foundation. Had been given a sample to use and recall thinking that my present foundation was better, should have gone with gut instinct! I am 45 yrs of age,have good skin, medium complexion and normally use 'Wheat'-109- in the Clarins Extra Firming Foundation.The nearest colour in this range is 'Sunlit Beige' (why oh why can't the manufacturers use the same names across the ranges? Would make life so much easier!).However, the colour appeal is good, not too pink and not too beige.
Anyway was looking for more coverage for my age. However the Extra Firming is far superior. At first the True Lift is difficult to apply but I guess this is because the bottle needs shaking a bit-it took several application before I was happy.
Now after several weeks, I find I am having to mix it with remnants of my Clarins Extra Firming Foundation to achieve a good 'finish' and by this I don't mean thick foundation that you need to apply with a trowel! But simply coverage that will cover the imperfections and leave a non-'fatigued' look. The other niggle is that the container is opaque so you can't see when you are due to run out of supplies (the bottle with Everlasting is clear).
To conclude, would not re-purchase this product as I don't feel it really merits the price tag and the description- but would recommend Clarins Extra Firming over this product any day!
As always, the service and price from Escentuals is second to none; I will revisit the site to order my next batch of Clarins Extra Firming Foundation! (WHEAT). I can't fault Escentuals at all. 5* to Escentuals!

Stila Brighten and Correct Concealer 2.4ml
Correct, perfect, brighten and tighten with the Stila Brighten and Correct Concealer, a swirled formulation that offers coverage and treatment in one simple step.
The concealer has added skincare benefits which work to hydrate the skin, minimise dark circles, and reduce puffiness of the eye area. A unique multi-mineral complex of antioxidant zinc, protecting magnesium, and key electrolytes of sodium and potassium nourish the skin, while Haloxyl(TM) immediately helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Swirled with two shades, one for brightening and another for correcting, and infused with light-diffusing pigments, the multi-purpose product works to brighten the undereye area, illuminate key areas of the face, and conceal dark circles. The lightweight and buildable formulation can be tailored to perfectly suit your needs, and works to improve the look and the feel of skin.
Lines and wrinkles are diminished, and your skin's texture is improved, hydrated and balanced. As the concealer contains two different shades, it's a good idea to apply the product onto the back of your hand, mix, and then apply.
Paraben-free, oil-free, lanolin-free and fragrance-free.

Unfortunately in spite of the quirky packaging this product does not do what it says on the tin! It is supposed to be a dual highlighter and concealer.
The concealer element of it is okayish but the product is very drying and I find it sitting in the creases of my skin by the end of the day-not a good look! It does little to highlight.
I can find little to recommend this product and at first hesitated to try it out. In future I will stay with the tried and trusted top brand of highlighter which I normally use and costs only a few pounds more.

I have used Dior Sculpt for a couple of years now. I have changed to other products but always return to my 'old faithful.' It does what it says on the bottle! What more can a girl ask for?
As time goes on a girl needs all the help she can get-you can't fight age and gravity! (I am 44yrs old). I apply this in the morning and it stays true all day until I remove it-no need for touch-ups or re-applications.
The texture is smooth and glides on easily, sits well with any moisturiser,skin feels luxurious and not weighed down so I think it is worth the money. Also if you opt for cheaper brands it is false economy as you end up using more. With Sculpt it does really last longer. (Contents and application!) I purchased this from Escentual (great service and price, complete with freebies!) when my existing stock was running low. One bottle lasts me easily 3 mths+ and I apply every day. You only need a little to go a long way. I would definitely re-order this product from Escentual-thank you.
