The packaging is a classic black plastic. It has gold writing and a lavender base for you to separate this line from others. I like the simple, but functional packaging.

 

It's an organic daily-use shampoo, which should gently cleanse and nourish your hair. It's enriched with organic aloe vera, wheat germ oil and extracts of olives, rosemary and moringa seeds to repair, strengthen, regenerate and soften the hair.

99,8% of ingredients are of natural origin, 100% of vegetable ingredients come from organic farming and 11% of total ingredients are from controlled organic farming.

The products also doesn't contain parabens, SLS and SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, silicons and alcohol. It's cruelty free and vegan.

It costs 12.80€ and it contains 200 ml of product (buy here).

It comes in a plastic bottle with transparent plastic lid with gold ring. Simplistic and chic packaging. I will say the screw top is not my favorite, since I have to search for it when I want to close it back. I also like the simple design. 

It has just big enough opening and you can really control the amount.

It has transparent liquid consistency. It's more liquid than thick. For a natural shampoo it leathers really nicely. It also feels nicely nourishing. It doesn't feel as smooth as silicon based shampoos, but it also doesn't leave your hair squeaky clean. If I shampoo my hair two times it's enough to get them clean. They're soft and clean with just enough moisture.

I have to say this is a really good natural shampoo. It doesn't leave my hair greasy nor too dry and it does it's job of cleaning my hair. If you're looking for a natural option, I think this is one of the better ones. They also have conditioner, if you're looking to go all natural.

Alpstories Hyaluronic Acid Cream

Alpstories Cold Pressed 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

Ocenila sem že Alpstories Hyaluronic Acid Cream in danes vam bom povedala kaj več o njihovem Organskem šamponu z aloe vero. Tega sem dobija kot presenečenje. Alpstories mi ga je poslal skupaj z dvema izdelkoma, ki sem si ju izbrala. Nisem pričakovala veliko, ampak me je pozitivno presenetil. 

Je organski šampon za vsakodnevno uporabo, ki bi moral nežno očistiti in negovati lase. Obogaten je z aloe vero organske pridelave, oljem pšeničnih kalčkov in izvlečki olive, rožmarina, sivke in moringe obnavlja, regenerira, vrača moč in povrne mehkobo las.

99,78% vseh sestavin je naravnega izvora, 98,86% rastlinskih sestavin je organskega porekla, 15,15% vseh sestavin prihaja iz nadzorovane organske pridelave.

Izdelek ne vsebuje parabenov, SLS in SLES, ftalatov, mineralnih olj, silikonov in alkohola. Ni testiran na živalih in je primeren za vegane. 

Stane 12.80€ in vsebuje 200 ml izdelka (kupite tukaj). 

Ima plastično embalažo v obliki stekleničke s prozornim plastičnih pokrovom z zlato obrobo. Preprosta in šik embalaža. Moram povedati, da mi pokrov na navoj ni najbolj všeč, saj ga moram iskati, ko želim šampon zapreti. Všeč mi je preprost dizajn.

Ima ravno dovolj velik odprtino in omogoča natančno doziranje.

Ima prozorno tekočo teksturo. Je bolj tekoč kot gost. Za naraven šampon se odlično peni. Vsekakor daje občutek nege las. Ni tako gladek kot šamponi s silikoni, ampak las vseeno ne pusti preveč čistih. Če lase šamponiram dvakrat je dovolj da jih očistim. Po uporabi so mehki in čisti z ravno dovolj navlaženosti.

Moram povedati da je res dober naraven šampon. Mojih las ne pusti mastnih, niti preveč suhih in dobro opravi svojo delo čiščenja. Če iščete naraven šampon, potem je to zagotovo eden izmed boljših. Imajo tudi balzam za lase, če želite vse naravne izdelke za lase.

Alpstories Hyaluronic Acid Cream

Alpstories Cold Pressed 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

Because I started dying my hair back to copper, I decided to try the K-Pak Color Therapy range, which is for damaged hair, but also for colored hair and should prolong your hair color. I can't really comment on that, because my hair color is washing out faster than I can change my nail polish. Seriously, it's ridiculous.

Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo

Texture of shampoo is like a cream, but runny and it has that pearl white color. It leathers really well, which is always a joy with me. It has hair salon luxury smell. They both do. I really can't explain it, but it reminds me of hair salons. It's more deeper warmer smell. Small amount is enough, but I always shampoo my hair twice. It doesn't strip down my hair or leave it squeaky clean, which I like. The hair actually feels a bit moisturized, but not in any way greasy. 

Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Conditioner

It has a white creamy consistency and it's a lot thicker than shampoo, but not too heavy. It almost feels a bit buttery and greasy, which I love. It's very smooth and stays on the hair well. I feel like it really nourishes and the silicons in it make it a joy to touch. On the hair it leaves moisturizing smooth layer. The hair is easy to detangle and comb through. I find this to be really amazing for my dry ends and it also makes my hair very shiny and smooth. I can safely say that this is my favorite conditioner, because it almost feels like an average hair mask.

As you can see the shampoo (left) is pretty runny and the conditioner (right) is a lot thicker. 

I have already repurchased this set now that it is on sale again. I highly recommend you to try this if you want something to moisturize, smooth and make your hair color look shiny. Joico is officially my favorite hair brand and worth the money (which I can't say for some other brands - yes Kerastase!). I'm planing on trying some of their other hair products as well. I also recommend hair masks from Moisture range. 

If you want to know which products I absolutely love from them you can read it here (one of my first blog posts - don't judge). 

Shampoo

Shampoo comes in a black matte plastic bottle. It costs 2.90€ (full price 4.50€) and you get 250 ml of product. 

Here is the ingredients list.

Shampoo has a muted yellow transparent color. It's fairly thin and creamy. Pretty normal consistency. It leathers really nicely and I find that small amount goes a long way. It makes my hair feel pretty soft, but I do need to use conditioner afterwards. It doesn't strip down the hair, like some drugstore shampoos do, so I think that's good for dry hair.

Conditioner

Conditioner also comes in a black plastic matte packaging. It also costs 2.90€ (full price 4.50€) and you get 250 ml of it. 

Here is the ingredients list.

Conditioner has pretty lightweight consistency. It is not thin, neither thick. Somewhere in between. I actually just realized after editing photos that it has gold shimmer in it. What?!You know, I think it was L'Oreal, who also had glitter conditioner. It came with some hair color, that I was using in the past. I was so fascinated by the shimmer in it, that I didn't want to use it up and have been saving it for a long time. So, now you know. Glitter shimmer, if you like that kind of stuff ;). It doesn't stay on the hair, just to be clear.

The conditioner feels very smooth and silk like. It actually feels like a silicon conditioner. It's a really nice conditioner for the price. I think the oils in it are the ones that make the hair feel moisturized and soft.

You need to shake the bottle before using it, so you combine two liquids. 

Here is the ingredients list.

Spray creates a very fine mist and you can control the amount by how hard you press on it.

Spray feels like a diluted oil. It's very liquid but also greasy. I would think that you can overdo this product on your hair. I actually sprayed a lot of it on my hair - too much, and the hair looked greasy. However...the next day the hair looked absolutely normal. That tells you how dry my hair is. It actually soaked up the oil through the night, even though it looked like I overdid it before. So just be aware, a little goes a long way. If you use it moderately it works great. Makes the hair feel nourished. Don't expect smoothness which silicons would give you. I also don't think this is for those who want to treat damaged hair. It's more for moisturizing dry or normal hair. 

All the products from this line have a pretty similar smell. To me the smell is somewhat oriental and nutty. I guess it goes with the theme of hair oils. It's a specific smell, to put it that way. I mostly have fruity smelly hair products, so these are exception. 

I have to say, when you use all these products combined, they really work nicely. My hair is left moisturized and soft. It won't tamed the frizz, but it will nourish my hair. Avon says that this line is for all hair types. I kind of agree. I have greasy roots and am always afraid of using oil shampoos. This one makes my hair moisturized, yet not greasy at all. I think the line is great for dry and normal hair. Maybe even oily hair can get along with it. My roots don't seem to mind it. It's not for treating damaged hair, except if you include moisturizing them. 

For a really affordable price, those products have pleasantly surprised me. If you read my blog, you know I'm a firm believer in high end products for my hair. This line just proved me that you can get pretty good products for a lot lower price. Don't be expecting Joico or Kerastase level, but a really good level, if not one of the best, from a drugstore kind of range.

As a little proof, here are photos of my hair right after I used all of these products and blow dried my hair. 

I ordered this duo treatment oil and after that Avon sent me shampoo, conditioner and another duo treatment spray. Thank you Avon ;). Since I know I'll be using this oil for a while, I decided to give one away. I'm sorry, the giveaway is only for Slovenian readers, because of the postage costs. All you need to do is fill in Rafflecopter fields. 

It's a dry shampoo like any. It's in a spray form. I spray it on the hair when they feel getting greasy and just brush it out. It does a really good job of refreshing my hair. They look a lot less greasy and they have more volume too. Of course dry shampoo adds texture to the hair, making them a bit thicker and fluffier. Batiste really is a good dry shampoo. I really like that my hair feels fresh the whole day, sometimes two. It also depends on when you use it. If the hair is very greasy, it won't become suddenly totally fresh, that's normal. The shampoo is used to refresh in between washes. It's great after workout or days when your hair feels that extra greasy. I also like using it right after washing and blow dying the hair to just add texture and volume. It may also prolong the freshness of the hair.

The spray is white and  there could be some white residue if you don't brush it out properly or have very dark hair. Batiste also has some dry shampoo for brunettes. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it's transparent. I actually don't mind the whiteness. I can brush it out pretty well. I also like that it's pretty dry, because some dry shampoos tend to be way too liquid.

I got the Tropical scent, which smells...well tropical. It says it's coconut and exotic. I definitely smell coconut, but mixed with something else. It's not bad at all. A lot better than some other dry shampoos.
