Hair Care - L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Review: No Commitment Required

Hi everyone!

I've been having some fun lately experimenting with some new beauty-related products. This one is from L'Oreal Paris and it's their new Root Cover Up that people have been really buzzing about! 

So here's my thoughts on the product:  

-After one wash, it's all gone, so it's a temporary fix. It's good for a special occasion when you want to look extra glam and/or you're going to be photographed. 

-For me, it wasn't a dramatic change and my boyfriend sprayed several times to get everything even. I don't have a lot of grey roots, just some grey strains that pop up annoyingly throughout my head. 

-Ample amount of product, so this would last you at least a month or more, if you are not using it every day.

-Easy application, but shake well and spritz into the air first. No mess, although I was a bit hesitant so I covered my whole face in case any product colour got on me. We were outside when applying just to make sure nothing sprayed all over the place since it's an aerosol can.

-Makes your hair a little stiff after too, which is a downside. Maybe they can add some kind of moisturizer to combat that issue. 

-Ammonia/peroxide free, so no irritation!  I am one of those super sensitive individuals, so I was happy that I didn't get any kind of negative reaction.

-Several different shades to choose from. I got the dark brown.

Have you used this product yet? If so, leave me a comment or e-mail, telling me how you liked it and what shade you chose!

*Disclaimer: I got this product for free to test out, in return for an honest review.

Updates and spiritual greetings

I apologize for not blogging. If you've been following along, you know that back before Christmas 2014, my dad was stricken with a virus called Encephalitis, which caused severe inflammation in his brain. Chances are 2 in a million, but the amazing team of specialists at Hotel Dieu hospital were able to help save his life. Since getting out of the hospital, my dad has made great strides of improvement.

Looking at the date; May 15, 2015, my dad is still with us and recovering well. I will write more about the last several months in future posts.  Right now, we are in the process of moving my parents out of their three-story home, into a smaller yet lovely one-floor townhouse. There is a basement, but that's used for storage. It is a huge transition, but one that is needed, not only for my dad, but so my mom can take care of him without dealing with all the maintenance that comes with home ownership. A plus is that we met several of the neighbours, and they are extremely friendly and welcoming.

My parents house sold in less than a week! Buckingham Realty rocks.

New home in Tecumseh. Welcome to condo living!

My dad just turned 70 yesterday, and driving to the house, I caught a glimpse of this gorgeous rainbow cloud. 

The spirits in the sky were saying Happy Birthday! :)

That's it for now. I will update again soon.  Thanks to all my readers for such kind words and messages.  

Oh and just so you know, when my dad took permanent leave, as a writer for Windsor Square, I decided to take that path as well. My musings will continue to be on Blogger from this point on, so once things settle down, you'll get to enjoy some more restaurant, movie and product reviews from me.
