Lea Journo Voila Finishing Spray (hair spray) - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

If you don't know, I love the Lea Journo hair care line! I literally have just about every single product in the line (I'll link those reviews below for anyone interested) and I think they're all amazing products. Their newest product, the Voila Finishing Spray, is another hit! Check out my full review below, including all the product info, after the pics!

Lea Journo Voila Finishing Spray Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $28.00 (10 oz full size). Available on the Lea Journo website, at Sephora, at Macy's, at Nordstrom, and everywhere else Lea Journo products are sold.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses

Get Ready... Set... Gorgeous! Sets your 'do the whole day through with fabulous, flexible hold and brilliant, beautiful shine. Voila Finish Spray is a medium hold hair spray that sets style and enhances shine. Ideal for all hair types and styles.

This hair spray is light-weight and non-sticky. This is a nice flexible formula, which leaves my hair feeling touchable still and does seem to enhance/add shine.

I use flexible hairsprays the most because even though my curls will still fall throughout the day, I find them to be the best for my hair type (which is long, fine and thin). It doesn't weigh my hair down and still holds my style for a good length of time.

The price point is a bit pricey for a hair spray, but I've paid around the same price point for other high end hair sprays and have always been happy with them. I've never been truly happy with drugstore hair sprays for one reason or a number of reasons for that matter, so I'm okay with investing in a hair spray that does what it says and performs how it should, as well as a scent I can stand. Plus, hair sprays in larger bottles like this one, which is 10 oz, seem to last me a long time.

I'm already a pretty big fan of Lea Journo products, so I really wasn't expecting this to be anything but great and it is great! Would recommend!

Lea Journo Revive French Plum Oil - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I have one more Lea Journo product to share with you, and it's basically the heart of the line - their Revive French Plum Oil, which you can find in every single Lea Journo product (at least I'm pretty sure it's in all of them). This oil can be used on hair, on body, and even mixed in with other hair and body items.

Lea Journo - Revive French Plum Oil Review:
This oil is fantastic! I really like it because a drop or two through my hair smooths and shines, it also easily hydrates skin. You can even use this as an overnight oil treatment -- I use about 20 drops for my long hair, but then I wake up, rinse it out, shower as normal and my hair feels more conditioned, soft and shiny.

The scent isn't the most amazing in the world, but it's not bad either. The price is pretty much average for quality oils like this.

I'd recommend!

Lea Journo La Forme Styling Lotion, Pouf Volumizing Spray, & Lumiere Illuminating Moisturizer - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I've stated it before and I'll state it again: I love the Lea Journo hair care line! I've been using all their products and I love my hair now. I'm not one of those girls who spends a lot of time on my hair. I just always run out of time; but the Lea Journo line makes me look forward to doing my hair. In this post I'll show you their La Forme Styling Lotion, Pouf Volumizing Spray, and Lumiere Illuminating Moisturizer (which can also be used on the body).

Lea Journo La Forme Styling Lotion
 





Basic Stats for Lea Journo La Forme Styling Lotion:
Formula: cream
Cost/Availability: $28.00 (5 oz full size). Available on the Lea Journo website and everywhere else Lea Journo products are sold (like QVC and Macy's).
Packaging: squeeze tube with twist-off lid
My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Lea Journo La Forme Styling Lotion Review:
This product is a styling lotion for touchable, curl-defining, body & wave enhancement, and also controls frizz. Most ideal for wavy and curly hair. Made with French Plum Oil to soften and moisturize, Cashmere Proteins to strengthen and renew, and Marine Extracts to texturize and hold.

If you don't have any curl or wave to your hair you can skip this product, as it won't do anything really for you and you could invest your money into a different Lea Journo product.

I don't have curly hair, but my hair is naturally wavy. If I don't straighten it will get all wavy, or if it gets wet it will get wavy, so I do use products made for curly/wavy hair from time to time. Or I will use them if I know I'm going to curl my hair later, because I feel it helps. The Lea Journo La Forme Styling Lotion doesn't do a whole, whole lot in my hair but it will help give my waves more definition and help with frizz too.

Since I wanted to also test this product on someone with curly hair, I loaned this to a friend for a week and told her to use it everyday and let me know her results. She loved it! Said it was really nice, not crunchy and she already went out and bought her own!

We'd both recommend for anyone with curly or wavy hair!




Lea Journo Pouf Volumizing Spray
 



Basic Stats for Lea Journo Pouf Volumizing Spray:
Formula: spray liquid
Cost/Availability: $28.00 (8 fl oz full size). Available on the Lea Journo website and everywhere else Lea Journo products are sold (like QVC and Macy's).
Packaging: rounded bottle with spray-top applicator
My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Kisses

Lea Journo Pouf Volumizing Spray Review:
A tangle-free volumizing spray adds luxurious body and shine. Made with sweet almond peptides to shine and revitalize. Tahitian vanilla extract to UV protect and de-stress. Just spray hair at roots, blow dry and style.

I'll start by saying a lot of volumizers won't work in my hair... my hair is too fine, thin and long so it's hard to get any volume in my hair. With that being said, this volumizer worked but it wasn't the best I've used for my hair. For you, this may be your perfect volumizer. It certainly smells great and it did provide my hair with some volume, but I guess I just wanted more... something I'm always searching for when it comes to volume in my hair, lol. Overall, a product worth checking out.




Lea Journo Lumiere Illuminating Moisturizer 
 




Basic Stats for Lea Journo Lumiere Illuminating Moisturizer:
Formula: spray liquid

Packaging: rounded bottle with spray-top applicator
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

Lea Journo Lumiere Illuminating Moisturizer Review:
A completely unique, ultra-light moisturizer that imparts an all-over softness and subtle sheen to hair and even skin! Illuminates and hides imperfection while gently conditioning hair and skin for a soft, sexy glow you can literally wear head to toe! Natural Mineral Glamour Dust to perfect and glow. Moisturizing Plant Sugars to smooth and soften. Tahitian Vanilla Extract to UV protect and de-stress.

I loved this product! First, let's just point out how beautiful the golden shimmer is! I love shimmery and glittery things so I couldn't resist this product. I use it on my hair and my body. It smells great, and gives me a very sexy glow - a grow up glow, not cheerleader glitter, lol.

It did make my hair feel soft and conditioned, without being greasy, which is a huge plus in my book for my thin, fine hair.

I'd recommend this product for sure!

Lea Journo Hydra Riche Shampoo & Conditioner Review:
I love this shampoo & conditioner! Parts of my hair (the underside) is color treated, and it gets very dry - I'm talking straw dry sometimes - but this shampoo and conditioner do a fantastic job of getting my hair clean, shiny, smooth, and very soft!

It smells good too, which I'm guessing is due to the French Plum Oil that's in every Lea Journo product. I love that this is sulfate-free, because it helps my color last longer.

This was one of those times where I couldn't wait to get out of the shower and can't wait for my hair to dry so I could see the results. When I test out shampoo and conditioner I always do an air-dry test, then a blow-dry test to see how my hair reacts with both. This shampoo and conditioner passed my tests with flying colors! Love them!

Highly recommend!

Lea Journo Parfait Intense Hydrating Masque - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Even though I get an oily scalp within 24 hours of washing my hair (usually), I still have very dry hair on the ends. I blame coloring my hair. However, I don't worry about it too much because I have some great hair products to help... such as the Lea Journo Parfait Intense Hydrating Masque. This masque smells great, is creamy, and really made my hair feel super soft. My hair looked and felt healthier after the very first use!

Lea Journo Parfait Intense Hydrating Masque Review:
This hair treatment is like new hair in a jar! And by that I mean after one use my hair felt super soft and was shiny and healthy. Since my hair is dry from coloring, this product is a savior for me.

It smells really nice and has a beautifully creamy texture. You'll apply it to clean, towel dried hair, massaging it in. Leave on for 2 to 5 minutes, but you could leave it on longer if you want. The first time I used this I left it on for a little over 5 minutes, and the second time I was in the middle of watching Project Runway, lol, so it stayed on for about 10 to 15 minutes. I didn't notice too much difference between leaving it on longer or not, but I would definitely recommend waiting 5 minutes before rinsing it out.

The suggested use is twice a week, but I don't always have time for that so once a week or whenever you can will still do great things for your hair! I'm really loving the Lea Journo product line... I have even more products from her line to share with you soon, so stay tuned!

Overall, yes, I would absolutely recommend this product if your hair is dry, damaged and/or over worked!

Lea Journo Mirroir Glossing Cream - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

When I put an effort into doing my hair there is one product I almost always use: a glossing product. It may be a spray, an oil or a cream; I just love to make my hair look shiny and healthy. Recently I tried the Lea Journo Mirroir Glossing Cream and really liked it. It's different from other glossing products I've tried, as this has beautiful golden shimmer in it. Don't worry, you don't see the shimmer in your hair the way you would think by looking at this product, but it does add beautiful gloss to your hair without looking greasy.

Lea Journo Mirroir Glossing Cream Review:
This is a really pretty glossing cream. It looks like a golden shimmer, but it doesn't translate onto your hair like a shimmer mess. It just makes your hair look shiny and healthy.

I applied this to damp hair, working from my ends upward - staying away from my roots. Then I styled my hair as normal and almost forgot the product was in my hair because it was light weight, non-greasy and just blended with my hair naturally. My hair looked healthier and shinier. You can apply a small amount of dry hair, but I prefer to use it on damp hair.

A really pretty, quality glossing cream that I'd recommend!
