Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes Ice White Shampoo

I have used Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes shampoo for a couple of years now and more recently I have used the Tone Correcting Conditioning Spray too, they are great products. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you'll know I love Lee Stafford hair products and tools, they never disappoint and always give me great results. So when I received the new Lee Stafford Ice Whites shampoo £6.99, I couldn't wait to give a try and see if I liked it as much as the OG bleach blondes shampoo. 

As you may know, my daughters often try out products for me too, my eldest who is naturally brunette, has her hair bleached and at the moment she is blonde with a stretched root. Her hair does get very warm toned, or brassy so I thought she would be the perfect guinea pig to try the shampoo too, and so she has also been trying it out. This way you get both the opinion of myself who has tinted naturally blonde hair and my daughter who has her hair bleached. 

My hair is naturally blonde, but it isn't quite as blonde as it looks naturally,  I do have it tinted an ash blonde shade. My hair is naturally a darker toned blonde than I have it and it is also going grey, but since I'm not about to grow old gracefully anytime soon, I have it tinted. Sometimes I have some highlights through the top but only a few and I haven't had those for around 12 months, but I never ever have my hair bleached, because it is naturally blonde, I don't need it bleached, just tinted.  

Even though I don't have my hair bleached, it sometimes can look a little warm toned, especially at the back, (my sister is my hair dresser and has told me the reason for this but I can't for the life of me remember) and because of this, I have used a violet toned or silver shampoo for years and have tried most brands out there, as I said I have used the Lee Stafford original bleach blondes shampoo for the last couple of years and have really enjoyed using it, but I was intrigued as to whether the Ice Whites would be any better.

Blonde hair is notorious for colour shifting… over-washing and sun exposure can leave a warm hue to even the ashiest of blondes. Stop brassy tones in their tracks and hit refresh with this powerful Silver Shampoo!

Formulated with true blue pigments, this indigo toning Shampoo helps knock out brassy tones, leaving an icy cool, arctic tone. For a lighter, brighter Platinum Blonde!

• Iconic Pink Fragrance

The Lee Stafford Ice Whites shampoo, has a pleasant scent, it is said to be the Pink fragrance but I do think it smells very similar to the original shampoo and as with the OG shampoo, the colour of the Ice Whites shampoo is purple, but I'd say the Ice Whites is much more blue/purple than the deep purple of the Bleach Blondes shampoo. The shampoo lathers up well and rinses out easily too and my hair is left feeling lovely and clean, once dried my hair looks lovely, shiny and healthy. 

The Ice Whites shampoo keeps my hair the nice ash toned blonde and knocks out any warm tones that I may have at the back or when my hair is due to be tinted. My daughter has also been using the Ice Whites shampoo and as I said, her hair is bleached. She has found the shampoo to be really effective at knocking out the warm, brassy tones in her hair, we have both been really happy with it. 

I have very oily hair and find I can miss a day between washing when using the Ice Whites shampoo, and then if I use dry shampoo, I can leave it another day without washing, something I thought worth sharing in case like me, you have oily hair too. My daughter however does use a conditioner as her hair is dry due to bleaching, so if your hair is bleached, you may want to use conditioner too. 

Round Up

Overall, the Lee Stafford Ice Whites shampoo, is a great addition to the Bleach Blondes range and is great for blonde hair whether it is tinted or bleached and especially if you have a platinum or ash toned blonde and want to keep it looking fresh and not warm or brassy toned. The shampoo is a reasonable price too and is currently on offer at Boots where Lee Stafford products are currently on offer for 3 for £15.00, so a good time to try it.

L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew Anti Ageing Glycolic Peel Pads

As you are probably aware if you are a regular reader of my blog, my skin is the bane of my life. I have extremely dry skin, and although it isn't quite as bad in the summer, it is still incredibly dry. I like to try different skincare products and over the last few months I have tried out some lovely products from L'Oreal, so when I had the chance to try the L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew Anti Ageing Glycolic Peel Pads - £14.99 (was £22.49), I was over the moon. 

"Inspired by professional treatments, Revitalift Laser Renew Anti-Ageing Glycolic Peel Pads are enriched with glycolic acid to help remove dead skin cells and boost your daily anti-ageing routine. Intensive re-surfacing action means wrinkles are reduced and skin tone is more unified".

Having dry skin, I have used glycolic acid products in my skincare routine for many years and I find it works really well for me, so I couldn't wait to see how the L'Oreal pads worked for me too.

There are 30 pre soaked pads in the tub, one side is textured for a stronger exfoliation and one side smoother for a gentler exfoliation, the pads are a really good size and one pad is enough for my face and neck. 

I have sensitive eczema prone skin and I don't have any irritation or redness when using the pads, I used them in an evening after cleansing and before serum and whatever night time treatment I may have been using. I use the textured side and wipe it all over my face and neck and then turn the pad over and do the same. 

Textured Side 

Smoother Side

The pads are a nice thickness, not too thick or thin and not flimsy at all and none of the pads I have used have ripped whilst using them.

I used the pads exclusively as my acid toner for 30 days and my skin feels so lovely and soft and I don't have any dry patches at all, I have some faint lines on my forehead and they seem to be more faint too which is great. I find that having dry skin, my skin can appear dull and lack lustre but it looks so much brighter and more alive since using the pads and I have felt more confident without makeup and just applying some mascara and nothing else. 

I really like the L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew Anti Ageing Glycolic Peel Pads and would definitely re purchase them, they didn't dry out at all and still felt the same when I opened them as they did 30 days later and my skin feels so much softer since using them, and I don't currently have any dry patches. 

If you like to use an acid toner as part of your skincare routine or like me you have dry skin, I would recommend giving these a go, I have really enjoyed using them and they're another hit from L'Oreal skincare so I will definitely be looking at the other products in the Revitalift Laser Renew range. 

The pads are currently on offer at Superdrug where they have a third off promotion and are £14.99  (were £22.99) so a great time to try them if you'd like to.
