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. 

The lipsticks come in a very basic plastic packaging. I wouldn't say it's the most sturdy or original. It actually look and feels very cheap to me. The typography somehow reminds me of Coca Cola. Does it do that to you too? The longer part with the name on it is actually top of the lipstick. Outside is colored in the color of the actual shade, which is very useful.

It costs 3.45$ and you can buy it here.

They actually sent me all the shades, expect one (102).

The texture of these differs a bit from shade to shade. Most of the shades are very creamy and have shine to it. Pigmentation also depends from shade to shade. Most of them have a good pigmentation, while darker shades have better or very good pigmentation. Some of the darker shades are also more matte, then others and don't have that shine to it, just a sheen of shine. The formula will absolutely cling to any dry patches. 

In general I find the formula perfect for summer, as it is lightweight and doesn't dry out the lips at all. Because they are creamy, they are not very long lasting, but I find that they last really well for such moisturizing creamy formula. Darker shades leave some stain.

They have no apparent smell to them. If you really sniff the bullet you'll notice sort of clay or modelling clay smell. Not super artificial nor anything pleasantly scented.

It's definitely one of those products that has really good formula, but you have to neglect the cheap packaging. I always say the point is in the product itself, not the packaging, but then again most of expensive brands actually make more money because of the expensive looking packaging. 

The shape of the lipstick is in the shape of rhombus. It's nice that the lipstick has a more precise strait cut edge, if you want to apply it straight from the bullet, but other than that I didn't find the shape to be anything special. I guess, I would almost like it to be the regular shape better than this rhombus.

Shade 101

Violet cool toned fuchsia shade. It's very pigmented and it looks shiny on the lips. It's actually my favorite shade, because it's so unique. 

Shade 103

Warm toned magenta pink. It's very pigmented and it looks shiny on the lips.

Shade 104

Cool toned fuchsia pink. It has good pigmentation and it looks shiny on the lips.

Shade 105

Warm toned coral pink. It's actually more pink, than orange, but I would almost classify it as a light coral. It has good pigmentation and it looks shiny on the lips. This one can look a bit patchy, if you apply too much of it.

Shade 106

Light warm pink. One of those very classic light pink shades. It has good pigmentation and it looks shiny on the lips.

Shade 107

Bright orange. It's crazy how bright this is. It almost looks neon, when I wear it. It's very pigmented and it looks very shiny on the lips. Maybe it's due to the fact that it's darker, but it almost looks the most shiny of them all. It seems to be like a liquid lipstick.

Shade 108

True peach. Also one of my favorite shades, because of the orange tone and warmness. It's very pigmented and it looks shiny on the lips. This one can also look a bit patchy, if you apply too much.

Shade 109

Orange based red. Very lovely warm bright red shade. This one also almost looks neon. Super bright. It's very pigmented and it looks less shiny than others. This one and the shade 112 are the most pigmented and therefore the least shiny. It almost just has a sheen of shine to it.

Shade 110

Warm peach toned pink. It's a warm light pink shade with a touch of peach undertone. It's very pigmented and it looks shiny on the lips. It can also look a bit patchy (if too much is applied at once).

Shade 111

Warm pink. This one is more pink toned then 110, but it's also warm toned. It has good pigmentation and it looks shiny on the lips.

Shade 112

Cool toned red. It's a classic blue toned red, that pretty much suits everyone. It's very pigmented and it looks less shiny than others. This one and the shade 109 are the most pigmented and therefore the least shiny. It almost just has a sheen of shine to it.

Some of the shades look very similar, so let me break it down for those who are interested. 105 is more pink and more cool toned than 110, which is more coral toned and warm toned.

Shade 105 is also a bit lighter compared to 111, which is a bit darker. Those two are indeed very similar. 111 has a bit brighter pink tone to it.

I think the formula is great for two reasons. The lipsticks are mostly very pigmented and they don't dry out the lips. Indeed a very pleasant formula to wear. The thing that I'm not so impressed by is the rhombus shape, the packaging and the fact that it clings to dry patches. I don't think the shape is any more useful and the packaging is just very cheap. Saying that, you should consider the formula first, if you're looking for those kind of gloss almost liquid lipsticks.

It's marketed as length and curl mascara. It provides lash-coating with natural acaica gum for longer, smoother lashes from base to tip. It's perfect for sensitive eyes. The formula is enriched in SRP, a new fortifying polymer, to tighten and smooth the lashes over the long-term. They should be stronger and more structured from the root to the end. Color is suppose to adhere evenly to the entire lash, for maximum lengthening results. It's also available in two shades, brown and black.  

The formula is pretty basic. It's not too runny nor thick. I find that I need to wipe of the brush, so that it doesn't clump my lashes. It has a really good staying power, even if it's not waterproof. I didn't have any fall down from it. It also doesn't seem to move if my eyes get watery. The formula never irritates my eyes and it's all in all very comfortable. I guess the sensitive part it's true.

The brush is interesting for me. I prefer those silicon brushes, but these seem to be normal synthetic hair. However, the shape is what brought me to really liking it. First of all the hair goes around the brush in a spiral way. It starts with short to longer hair. On the photos below you can see how it looks like from both sides. It's flattened from on side, which somehow looks appealing to me. I think you have a very definite two sides for each eye and that is what I like. Both eyes get covered evenly. 

I was surprised at how long my lashes looked with this mascara. I don't consider my lashes to be really long, nor are they short. But with this mascara, they were almost touching my brows, when I looked up from under. I feel like it lengthens lashes and it gives them volume also. I am a firm fan of volumizing mascaras, but I still loved the look of this one. 

It separates lashes nicely. I can't talk about any long term effects of making my lashes smoother. I don't even know what would that mean? I don't have bristled lashes like my hair?! They are smooth in general. 

I also think that the curl thing is very true. My lashes stay perfectly curled all day. I'm serious. I usually wear regular mascara formulas and the lashes fall down a little. I don't loose the whole curl, but some. With this one my lashes were just as curled at the end of the day, as they were when I curled them. That is the second most appealing thing about this mascara, besides making my lashes extremely long.

On the photos below you will see my lashes with no mascara (curled), then I used one coat of mascara and the third photo is with multiple coats of mascara. You can see that more coats add more thickness. 

I really like this mascara. The thing that I like most about it is how long my lashes look and that they stay curled all day. I also think that it gives me some volume and I can add thickens by layering more coats. The mascara also doesn't irritate my eyes at all and it stays on for the whole day. What more could I wish for? I guess I would like more volume, but then I would probably need to purchase the other volume version of this mascara. 

Since it was a gift I had to check the price online and it costs around 19€ and you get 8.4 ml.
