L'Oreal has two Elnett Heat Protect Styling Sprays. One is for volume and one is for straight hair. I used the Smooth version, for silk straight effect. It's basically a heat protect, which should protect your hair from heat damage of flat iron, curling wands and even blow drying. It should protect your hair up to 230°C. You should use heat protect products if you want to prevent damage to your hair like split ends and over dried hair. This one protects from hair damage and also moisturizes your hair. It should make your hair smooth for up to 3 days. L'Oreal experts also use it as a product to tame the frizz and lock in the flyaways. 

Now on to my experience. First of all the packaging is a standard plastic bottle with a very nice black pump on top. I love how easy and spot on this pump is. It produces a really nice thin mist. There's also a little push square. If you press it to one side, you lock the bottle and if your press it to the other side you unlock the bottle, so you don't have to worry about product spilling all over your bag.

The ingredients list.

It's an off-white liquid. I like to spray it on my hands and than put it trough my hair, but you can obviously spray it directly to the hair. Just a warning... this spray is extremely slippery! I don't recommend spraying this all over your bathroom, because you might break someone's leg. It really is that slippery when it lands on the floor. 

I wanted to demonstrate how it looks like on the hair, although it's pretty obvious. On my top photo are my freshly washed hair. As you can see my ends dry really quickly, because they are naturally a lot drier then the rest of the hair.

On the bottom photo is how my hair looks like when I apply the heat protect. Right after the application my hair feels a bit more moisturized and smooth. The spray seems to coats them with something slippery, which makes my hair very smooth as it promises. 

Then I just use a blow drier and dry my hair and here is the result. I don't usually have problem with frizz or flyaways, so I can't comment on that. It definitely feels moisturizing and makes my hair a bit nourished and very smooth to the touch. I wouldn't say it will make your hair absolutely straight. I have naturally straight hair, but they sometimes tend to form some waves, especially when I pull my hair back behind my ear. So I wouldn't agree on having your hair straight and silk for three days. Maybe if you blow dry it with a brush, the effect could last a bit longer. 

The spray has a very distinct strong smell. I can't describe it. It smells like a hair salon (cliche I know, but that's how I feel about it). 

The smell was the first thing that reminded me of another amazing heat protect product and it's the heat protect from GHD (Good Hair Day). I swear, as soon as I smelled it in the store I knew it reminded me of some other product. I feel like I need to mention that GHD one was the best heat protect I ever used and I feel like this one is a very similar product. I wish I had the old bottle of GHD, because the texture is the same, I swear the smell is too.. I really think these two could be dupes.

All in all, this is probably the best drugstore heat protect spray. I know I'm apparently very late to the party, but I'm just glad that I arrived. If you're looking for something moisturizing and effective to prevent you from damage and over-dryness while using your heat tools, then go for this one. If you're looking for something to make your hair straight, I wouldn't go for this one. I would say try some other products that are meant for hair straightening. 

It's apparently The Hot Shop lipstick and everything about it looks very similar to The Top Shop lipsticks. I love the packaging. It's metal, a bit heavy and well made. It's white with grey writing. It costs 4.29$ and you can buy it here. It doesn't say how much product is in it.

I decided to go with a more neutral shade and I chose shade 11. I though it was going to be paler than it actually is. It's peachy brick brown shade. I find it to be a unique shade. It seems peachy, but it has almost pink brick red undertone to it. I think it would look great on many different skin tones. 

I love that the bullet is straight cut from the sides, but the top is not pointy, it's rather rounded. This fits perfectly on the lips and you can create nice edges without much effort.

The formula is amazing. Very pigmented, creamy and a joy to wear. This lipstick never made my lips dry. I've been wearing it for 8 hours and nothing. It's so creamy and feels very moisturizing. It also gives you a bit of shine. I find that it sets really well on my lips, after a while. I tend to have dry lips in general, so when the lipstick is on for a long time, I feel like it becomes a bit less shiny and it stays on the lips really well. 

The shade reminds me a little of MAC Patisserie, since that one is also a very unique mix of shades. Patisserie is sheerer and has more pink in it, while shade 11 has more of that brick undertone. Let's say if you like pinks you would go for Patisserie, but if you want peachier version, you would go for shade 11.

It's even more similar to Avon Ultra Color Indulgence lipstick in Honey Flower. They're both pigmented and have very similar undertones. Honey Flower has just a tiny bit more of red undertone than shade 11. 11 is peachier and more brown. The formula is similar to the Avon, which is my favorite lipstick formula ever.

The formula is such a joy for someone like me, who gets dry lips by just wearing lipsticks on daily basis. It's very pigmented, creamy and the shade is totally my kind of neutral. You can chose from  15 different shades and I highly recommend you to try one of these, if you like creamy moisturizing lipsticks. The price is a bargain. I might try some other shades as well.

You can also use my 10% off code at your next order on Born Pretty Store. Just type in the code PETRAH10.

The packaging is not something I would say is this lipstick's forte. It's actually plastic shiny black, good, but nothing extraordinary. I find that it snaps good for now, but it feels like it might get looser after time. It's also very slim as is the bullet, which is great for a very precise application. Because let's be real, not many of us have luscious big lips. 

The lipsticks currently cost 4.50€ (full price is 8.50€) and you get 3 grams of lipstick. I think the price is pretty amazing for such a good formula.

I have actually already made swatch of Honey Flower, but I wanted to feature it here too. It's one of those shades that would appeal to many, because the shade is a mixture of pink, brown and peach. It's actually peachier and more pigmented version of MAC's Patisserie. 

Here you can see that MAC Patisserie is a bit pinkier and sheerer than Avon Honey Flower. If you find Patisserie too pink and sheer, than you might find a good match in Honey Flower.

This is a bit brighter neutral shade on me. I like it, because it gives me some color, but doesn't look too brown or dark on me. It's the perfect neutral, but kind of colorful shade. 

I love this shade, because it's a nice more toned down variation of bright red lips. It's one of those shades that will instantly brighten up your complexion and give you some color. You can make it brighter by applying more.

The formula of these lipsticks is gel formula, but it's very pigmented for a moisturizing lipstick. It's one of those rare formulas that never dries out my lips (and I do have really dry lips in general) and it glides on the lips like a dream. It doesn't go over the lines and you can absolutely wear it without lip liner. It gives you a little bit of shine, but is also really pigmented. One swipe leaves a really nice bright shade. By applying more you can intensify the shade, but you'll also be risking it smudging over the lip line a little. I find that this fades really evenly. I drank and ate and it did came off in the middle, but that's normal for that kind of formula. Just reapply and you're good to go. I really recommend this formula to anyone who has extremely dry lips and likes well pigmented lipsticks in a variety of shaded.

The color range is huge and I'm sure everyone will find something. I do think they lack very neutral shades, so just be aware that all the shades have a bit color to them. 

I've already swatched most of the shade. First par is here and the second is here.

I chose five shades and those are Honey Flower, Red Tulip, Rose Bouquet, Red Dahlia and Chocolate Rose. I've just realized right now that they all have flower names. 

Those testers cost 0.25€ each and for those of you who didn't know that, you can ask a person that orders your Avon products, to order you some lipstick testers. Most of the lipsticks that are in the current catalog have testers available as well.

Full size lipsticks will currently cost 4.90€ and contain 3 grams of product.

Honey Flower is a subtle peach nude shade. It's warm toned and nicely pigmented. 

Red Tulip is a vibrant classic red shade. I find it to be classically blue toned, but very vibrant in color. It's also super pigmented. 

Rose Bouquet is a warm toned rose shade, that seems to have purple and brown undertones to it. It's a very muted almost mauve shade.  It's also nicely pigmented.

Red Dahlia is a dark whine red shade. It's actually not as pigmented as most of the other shades. I think this line can be problematic with darker shades. Also because the moisturizing formula may lack in the pigmentation department when it comes to dark shades. The shade is more on the cool side.

Chocolate Rose is, as the name suggests, a chocolate deep brown with red undertones. It's definitely warm toned and the least pigmented of all the shades. In fact, I think the pigmentation might be a problem with this shade. Unless you have naturally really dark lips, then this will just add some moisture and shine.

The formula is an absolute dream. It slides on the lips effortlessly. It feels really nice and it doesn't dry out the lips at all. I find the gel formula to give a really nice shine and comfort on the lips. It's also non sticky. Seriously love the formula of these lipsticks. A dream to wear. I just think with moisturizing lip shades it's always safer with lighter shades. Because darker shades seem to be lees pigmented, therefore can look more patchy on the lips. This will stuck on dry patches. However, it's a dream formula for those of us who tend to get really dry lips. Now, I just wish I would order more neutral shades and that the range would actually offer more nude shades.
