My experience: Osmo Colour Mission Shampoo and Conditioner come in simple white bottles with flip caps without any boxes and such excesses.

 Osmo Colour Mission Shampoo and Conditioner / the packaging

The texture of both products is thick and gel like and the scent is like unisex perfume, it's not annoying though. 

  Osmo Colour Mission Shampoo and Conditioner / the texture 

The shampoo gives lots of foam and cleanses the hair well considering that this is sulfate free shampoo. It also is very gentle on my long hair and doesn't dry them out. The conditioner helps to detangle my hair, makes it smooth and almost freeze free ^_^ I also used this for co-washing several times and I love the results - super soft and shiny hair completely without freeze and fly aways. But it contains silicones so I need to use a shampoo every other time to prevent buildup and grease.

I don't have concerns other than these so if you don't mind having silicones and parabens in your shampoo and conditioner, you should try Osmo hair products. They are salon quality for reasonable price and quite effective.

I have also tried Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask and it's a really great mask for it's price (£4.30), I'll be reviewing it soon.

Review + Contest / Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate

Hey lovelies!

My todays review is about Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate. This is a product from Elizabeth Grant - a Canadian owned company with the best people, striving to 'Do It Better'. The company is focused on exceptional quality that is inspired and internationally recognized. This quality and recognition is achieved through customer satisfaction by a fiscally responsive, diverse group of people.

Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate

What Company say: An extremely powerful serum created to win the fight against skin aging.

Ultimate Cellular Concentrate combines pure Torricelumn™, Elizabeth Grant’s exclusive, clinically tested, superior moisturizing anti aging compound with an intensive concentration of Plant Stem cells to help the delay the appearance of aging by protecting and repairing epidermal skin cells.

The skin is made up of millions of cells. In a young skin there is a natural and quick replenishment and repair of the skin. As we age the repair and replenishment rate diminishes resulting in skin aging – the skin loses its plumpness and moisture holding capabilities, lines appear and the skin starts to slacken.

Ultimate Cellular Concentrate helps to decrease the rate at which the surface skin cells deteriorate and at the same time, improves the rate of repair. This dual action helps to slow down the appearance of skin aging and helps to repair skin that has already aged.

The result – From the first application there is a visible smoothing of the skin. Within two weeks the skin starts its recovery and visibly looks younger.

Made in Canada.

Directions: Apply sparingly to face, neck and chest area before retiring at night. For more intensive results apply to clean skin morning and night

Ingredients: Aqua, Hexylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylyl Methicone, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Alcohol, Glycine Soja Extract, Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Extract, Malus Domestica Fruit Extract, Amber Extract, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Isohexadecane, Sodium Hialuronate, Polysorbate 80, Chamomilla Recutita Extract, Panthenol, Lecithin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Citric Acid, Sodium Acrylate / Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Potassium Sorbate, Chondrus Crispus - Carrageenan, Phenoxyethanol, Mica, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Chlorphenesin, Ceramide 2, Parfum, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, CI 77891.

Price: $99 / 2970 rub. for 1.5 fl. oz. / 45 ml. Elizabeth Grant ship to USA and Canada as well as to some  international countries..

(Info and images from ElizabethGrant.com and the packaging of the product)

My experience: Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate comes packaged in a beautiful gold toned cardboard box.

Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate / the carboard packaging

When I first opened the box I felt a very pleasant scent, like an expensive perfume or something like that. Even though one side of the  packaging says the product is fragrance free the other side, which is with the list of ingredients, says it contains parfum. ?_? And the product itself has that pleasant scent too. You know, I'm allergic / sensitive to most artificial scents but I really like this one. ^_^

Inside this beautiful box you see a glass bottle with dropper.

 Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate / the glass bottle 

 Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate / the dropper

This serum has a nice milky consistency. When you start applying this onto the skin you see how your skin becomes moisturized in a few moments. Also you see how this white milky serum transforms into plenty of tiny clear drops and then absorbs into the skin. It's a fascinating sight ^_^

 Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate / swatched on the hand

Actually, I only swatched this serum a couple of times on my hand and then I handed it to my mother-in-law as I thought she would experience more benefits from it than I. And I was right!

She uses this twice daily and is constantly telling me how beautiful her skin looks and how many compliments she receives ^_^ And I also have noticed significance improvement in overall appearance of her skin while doing her makeup for several different occasions. Her skin became tighter and wrinkles became less noticeable. The most interesting part is how it evened out her skin tone. She even doesn't want to use a foundation on a daily basis because as she says - there's nothing to hide. It also has decent moisturizing properties. Using this serum twice daily, my mother-in-law with her dry skin can skip her moisturizer in mornings. It also doesn't cause any discomfort or irritation on my mother-in-laws sensitive skin.

I'm incredibly impressed with this product. Of course, it's pricey at $99 a bottle but it's the best anti-aging product I (and my mother-in-law) have seen and tried so far. It lives up to its claims. Seriously, it's the best one ever.

During the moth of January, Elizabeth's celebrating her birthday and want you to join in the festivities! Send Elizabeth your wishes and you will be automatically entered to win an Elizabeth Grant skin care gift basket worth over $800. To send Elizabeth your birthday wishes, click here.

Review / The Drain Claw

Hi everyone!

Today I'd like to tell you about one little tool that helps unclog a slow moving bath drain fast and easy. Even a girl can use it ^_^ This is The Drain Claw from Bad Cat Solutions.

The Drain Claw
Image from TheDrainClaw.com

Seriously, I have very slow bathtub and sink drains. Me and my daughter both have very long thick hair and while we are washing it we loose some hairs and they get caught into the drain making it really slow. Add soap buildup and other gunk, and as a result  - when I'm taking just a quick shower I have to stand in the bathtub with water coming up to my ankles... or even higher! >_< 

I think I don't need to mention that I don't like the idea of using harsh chemicals to open those slow drains. They aren't good for the drains, for our health and for our planet. And having a kid in the house makes them strictly no-no.

So... Can you imagine how happy I was when I received The Drain Claw?! ^_^ 

But wait, here comes some more info from the Company that produces this little tool so you can better understand the idea.

What Company say: The Drain Claw was developed by a real estate investor to keep his bath drains open without having to use dangerous chemicals. 

The #1 culprit for clogged bath drains is hair. We lose about 100 hairs a day and most while taking a bath or shower. This hair can get caught in the crossbars at the drain opening or the bracket under the stopper.

The Drain Claw has 100 small interlocking hooks that grabs this hair with a simple push and twist motion. Anyone can use The Drain Claw and for most slow drains because of hair, you can eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals.

The Drain Claw is made in the U.S.A. You find more information about the product on the website www.TheDrainClaw.com.

Directions: For a slow or clogged bathtub drain, just work The Drain Claw around the crossbars at the opening of the drain and the bracket that holds the stopper.

For bathroom sinks The Drain Claw not only grabs hair, but it can be pushed into the trap to tear through the buildup of soap, toothpaste and gels. The Drain Claw will pass through the pop up without having to remove it.

Here's the video with the instructions and the product in action:

Unclog a slow drain with The Drain Claw

Ingredients: Not mentioned

Price: You can get 1 item for $6.99 / 210 rub. Orders of 3 or more receive discount. They ship Worldwide.

(Info from TheDrainClaw.com)

My experience: I received a package of 3 Drain Claws. The packaging is really simple - the product and a leaflet in a clear plastic bag. 

The Drain Claw / the packaging

I love that they made it simple. It's a very pocket / wallet friendly tool so why should we want to pay for excess packaging? ?_? The leaflet also contains instructions on how to use The Drain Claw but seriously, it's clear enough without any instructions once you take this tool in your hands.

The Drain Claw / the packaging

The tool itself is very, very easy to use. And it's quite effective as well! It is a wire tool with a little brush on the end. The brush consists of small hooks.  The rod is flexible, so you can twist and bend it while catching the hair in the drain. 

The Drain Claw

When I first used it I expected to see lots of hair, but what I didn't expected was a huge soap buildup... It looked really gross, I didn't take pictures of it just because I thought you would be afraid of it hehe 

But all the gross was worth it - now bathtub and sinks in my apartment are draining effortlessly. I would say they are the fastest drains ever! ^_^ 

BTW I forgot to mention that The Drain Claw is reusable.

All in all, this is a great little tool for those with slow drains! It's very easy to use even a girl can make it ^_^ I'm very thankful to Bad cat Solutions for the opportunity to try The Drain Claw! I always keep one in my bathroom and I would highly recommend this to everyone!
