FRIDAY FOLLOW-UP {MAY 2023}

WoW its been a while since I posted a Friday Follow-Up post 
where it lets you know how I feel about some of the products that I
 have already previously reviewed.
Sometimes I have extra info to add to the original review and on
the very rare occasion I have done a complete about turn 
on the product.

~~~~~~

DERMALOGICA
NECK FIT
CONTOUR SERUM


"In short, this serum for the neck was exactly what I was looking for
as it seriously delivers on all of its claims.
It visibly lifts, tightens, firms and tones the neck and décolleté
Smoothes fine lines and helps protect skin against pollution
Reduces the appearance of skin ageing.
Dermalogica says the tube should last approx 6 weeks if used twice
a day, however I would say this is a cautious estimate as I have
been using for longer than 6 weeks and I still seem to have
plenty left in my tube."

*I'm happy to report back, that despite the hefty price tag and its
roller applicator, it did last way beyond the 6 weeks that 
Dermalogica claimed.
This means the product offers a relative low cost price per use 
and considering how good this product IS, its a winner.

KÉRASTASE 
GENESIS 
FONDANT RENFORÇATEUR


Very similar to skincare, some ranges just don't bring out
the best in your skin and its the same for haircare ranges and I fear
this is what's happening with the KÉRASTASE GENESIS range.
I found it to be difficult to rinse out of my hair and then it proceeded to
leave an unpleasant oily coating on the hair shaft.
I gave up after several attempts to find the ideal amount to use

I enjoyed both the shampoo and the blow dry primer, however initially
the conditioner was a NO NO, so I set it aside to try again later, sadly
it didn't improve and it did appear on my Most Disappointing Products list.

DERMALOGICA
SKINPERFECT PRIMER
SPF 30

I have another Dermalogica product to include in this feedback post.
I was super impressed with this rather unassuming product that
Illuminates+Primes+Protects.
I love a multi functional product and it's especially useful if you are 
time strapped or just having a lazy skincare day.

As I wrote in my original review:
"My only reservation about my new "skin find" is the size and price.
It comes in a rather small 22ml size tube, yet it has a hefty price tag.
Dermalogica do say it lasts for approximately 63 uses and they include
a tube dispenser to help get the most product out of the tube."

I adore this product, but I'm not sure that the price tag of R1,100 per
22ml tube is sustainable for my current beauty budget.
Bottom line is, this tube is just too small of a quantity and as you can
 imagine it didn't last too long, so I think this product despite me loving
it, will have to be sadly dropped from my skincare routine.

BY TERRY 
CRAYON KHÔL TERRYBLY
 EYELINER


I hate to be including this product, but despite it being the best eye pencil
 I have ever used, it unfortunately has a drawback.

"This eye pencil/eyeliner has an incredibly soft ultra-creamy texture,
it's a perfect softness and smudginess for the oldies to use, whilst it
doesn't pull our already stretched skin on our eyelids."

There is a pay off for this softness, so be prepared to plough through
these eye pencils, as its the only one that I have completely finished.
It hasn't stopped me re-purchasing, but please be aware its the quickest
 eye pencil you will ever finish.

KÉRASTASE GENESIS FONDANT RENFORÇATEUR {REVIEW}

A couple of days ago I posted my review on the 

KÉRASTASE GENESIS 
BAIN HYDRA FORTIFIANT SHAMPOO



You can read that review here
and today it's the turn of the corresponding Award Winning
 conditioning treatment

KÉRASTASE GENESIS 
FONDANT RENFORÇATEUR




As with the entire GENESIS range of products this 
Anti Hair-fall Fortifying conditioner is for weakened hair that's prone to 
falling due to breakage and the range excited me, especially after using the shampoo that left me with high hopes for this conditioning product. 

Here are the 3 key claims that drew me into buying this range:

1.
The creamy formula offers anti-breakage action with the most lightweight finish. 

Whilst the formula of the product is creamy, sadly I cannot agree
with the claim of a lightweight finish. 
My hair felt overloaded with product,despite following the usage instructions,
and left, what I can best describe as a greasy coating on my hair that 
made my hair appear greasy and lank, which isn't something 
I have experienced with other ranges.

2.
It instantly smoothes, strengthens and softens the fibre while providing deep nutrition without weighing down the hair. 

As for it instantly smoothing and softening, in my experience that's down to 
the formula being too heavy for my hair type, so yes it instantly smoothed and
provided deep nourishment but at the price of weighing the hair down,
which is contrary to the claims.
 In an attempt to give this product a chance to "shine" excuse the pun,
 each time I used I did adjust the quantity applied in the hope of finding some happy medium, but alas I just didn't.

3.
Detangles and adds body.

Yes my hair was easier to detangle post washing, but again I cannot
agree with adding body to the hair.



I think you can gather by now that this product hugely disappointed me
I found it to be difficult to rinse out of my hair and then it proceeded to leave
 an unpleasant oily coating on the hair shaft.
Very similar to skincare, some ranges just don't bring out
the best in your skin and its the same for haircare ranges and I fear
this is what's happening with the KÉRASTASE GENESIS range.


All that is left to say...
I could have my first contender for my Top 3 Disappointing Products 2021
I do still have one more product from the GENESIS range to try, the 
Defense Thermique Blow Dry Primer.
