As Bumble and bumble keep leading in the for front of producing products that help tame difficult hair, this New Curl product is no exception. Bb have released two New products for their curl range – Bb Curl Masque and Bb Curl luminous Oil Spray. Admittedly I do not have naturally curly hair so Richard and I have had to wait and use some of our willing customers as guinea pigs.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMKGvaZ3ylM” align=”center”][vc_column_text]
Bb Curl Masque
The first product is Bb Curl Masque, this has been a nice alternative to offer to our customers with curly hair, who are in need of MORE moisture. If you do not use a masque on your hair…..where have you been?? Using a masque regularly is a great step in having phenomenal hair.

Bb Curl luminous Oil Spray
Richard and I were curious when we received Curl Luminous Oil Spray, to what it really was going to do differently than what we already had on the shelf. It really surprised us, in that it is great for a few reasons, 1. It is deliriously hydrating, curls dont look wet, but healthy and shiny. 2. Its great for protecting the hair from the sun. I can imagine clients on holiday spraying this product through their hair and let it dry, while out in the evening having drinks – result beautiful, separated frizz free curls. I am defo going to use this product this summer to let it air dry in my hair.
- What it is? This weightless, silicone-free moisture spray enhances curl integrity, fights frizz, and adds shine. Plus, it protects against heat tools – and contains UV filters to help protect hair against the drying effects of the sun.
- Why? Oil infused, defrizz, UV, Hydrate.
- How it works? An exotic blend of oils helps moisturise and hydrate thirsty curls.

Bb Gel Humidity
This product has been re-packaged, I think it looks more sleeker and will travel better.
- What is it? This frizz-fighting gelee combines the hold of a gel with the hydration of an oil – for glossy, elongated curls with movement.
- Why? Oil Infused, defrizz, hold and shine
- How it works? This gel-oil hybrid has an exotic blend of Brazilian oils to help add moisture and shine.

My Top Five Cleansers
If you read my last post on Why double cleanse? (Click here) you will know that using a oil or milk cleanser is the next step in taking your makeup off at the end of the day. Personally when I double cleanse I like to think of it like this. My balm cleanser needs to be cheaper than my second cleanser as I am putting on the balm cleanser first which needs to be good enough to break down makeup nothing more. The second cleanser is what I spend more money on as this one will be nourishing clean skin and you will reap more skin benefits with this one.
These are the 5 cleansers that I have tried and my thoughts on them.
Kiehls Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil £16
This all-in-one, non-comedogenic (wont block pores) cleansing formula emulsifies with water to become a cleansing milk. This does claim to help dissolve difficult-to-remove makeup but I cannot confirm that as I would not waste this gorgeous product on taking my makeup off. Saying that it doe gently remove any last trace of makeup and impurities – without over-drying. Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Cleansing Oil not only leaves skin fresh and clean, but also balanced and soothed.
This cleanser leaves your skin feeling prepared for optimal night-time replenishment as this cleanser is made from an aromatic blend of pure botanical oils: Squalane, a planted-derived lipid with a natural affinity for skin; evening primrose oil, rich in Omega-6 Fatty Acids; and lavender essential oil. I was very impressed and also the price point is good on this product. Definitely give it a go.
Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser £66
This one is PRICEY! It is a multi-vitamin cleansing oil that claims to breaks down buildup and dissolves makeup. Now I would never dare disrespect this product and use it that way as its a waste of money. I would much rather slap this product and all its goodness on ma face to reap the benefits of this one pricey product. It is lovely. It smells and without stripping the skin leaves it soft and supple feeling. I would not though purchase again as it is smashing product but is not worth the price tag.
Liz Earle Cleanse and polish, Sarah Chapman Ultimate Cleanse, Kiehls Midnight Recovery cleansing Oil, Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser, and Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel.
Sarah Chapman London Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse £44
Another eye watering price for a cleanser, this one intrigued me as I had read some good reviews and felt really sucked in by all the buff I read on it. This intelligent omega-rich cleanser is formulated with collagen-stimulating peptides, skin-normalising vitamin A and potent skin-defence antioxidants to effectively remove all face and eye make-up, deep clean, condition and brighten. This intelligent aromatic infusion works deep into the pores to melt impurities and remove make-up, including waterproof mascara. Wow that is saying something! I feel it can do all that, but I kept thinking as I massaged the product into my skin each night- “its £44” and for me if I have the cash to spare spending it on my face is a investment. What if you don’t have the spare cash to splash and you are currently on a budget? Then save your money as there are cheaper alternatives that would do a similar job.
Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel £31
Now this one is GOOD! Its the only gel formulation which did put me off slightly as I prefer oils but as soon as it emulsify’s it turns into oil. Oskia really worked hard on this formulation to give you that real ILLUMINATING VITAMIN MELTING CLEANSER! This product is great for all skin types, particularly combination, normal, dull, dry, Acne scars, pigmentation, and blemished skin. It melts beautifully into skin to quickly and gently remove impurities and makeup while actively illuminating and nourishing to reveal balanced, clean, fresh, radiant skin that feels soft and smooth.
If your budget can stretch to this price then give it a go, its worth it.
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish £16.50
This cleanser I have used sporadically since I was I was 16 years old. It was released back in 1995 and has proved time and time again that it is a real contender for getting your skin super clean, packing a punch with all the essential oils and vitamins. Enriched with cocoa butter to soften, smooth and moisturise, and rosemary, chamomile and eucalyptus to tone, soothe and purify – this rich, indulgent cream deeply cleanses to instantly remove daily grime, pollutants and make up, even stubborn mascara, to leave skin feeling comfortable, balanced and exceptionally clean.
Used with the pure cotton cloth it gently exfoliates, lifting away dead skin cells to reveal smoother, clearer and brighter-looking skin. I cannot recommend this enough. The fact that I have been using it on and off for the last 22 years says a lot! I use it for a while then get I lured into something else and I always go back to it because for the price you get real value for money.
That was my round up of cleansers that I have used over the last year. I hope you found it helpful and informative. See next week will probably be a video Im not sure yet as I am struggling to get into a routine at the moment.
Come and Say Hi….
Why Should You Double Cleanse? Balm Cleansers Try and Tested
Balm Cleansers – I introduced this step into my night time routine about 3 years ago. I cannot stress enough how my skin has benefited from using a Balm cleanser, and that if you wear makeup day to day then doing a double cleanse at night is a MUST.
Why use Balm Cleansers? If you wear makeup and just washed your face once, nine times out of ten your skin will still have makeup residue left on the skin. Reason being is that makeup now is super long wearing. You have your 24 hour foundations, and primers that could last for a lot longer. With this in mind it would be a good idea to maybe introduce a balm cleanser into your night time routine, as you will really see a difference in your skins texture and overall radiance. These are the five that I have been using over the last few years and two in particular I have used over and over again.
Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm £47
This by far is a Superior product with a hefty price tag to match! There is nothing that this balm cant shift with a cocktail of essential oils, removes makeup effortlessly and smells very restful. I felt instantly relaxed and that my skin was getting a real treat, but this is taking off my makeup, do you really want to spend that much on a product that is just going down the plug hole? I wouldn’t purchase this again only because of the price tag. Save your money.
Pixi Nourishing Cleansing Balm £18
This balm cleanser for me is a nice middle of the road. This is a balm to oil. Its creamy in texture, rich in Almond oil, shea butter, and vitamin E and is really giving the skin all it needs. It takes off stubborn waterproof mascara with ease and I found my heavy coverage foundation broke down well. Its a nice one to start with in my opinion, and is at a good price point too.You wont be disappointed.
Clinique Take the day off £24
This Balm Cleanser transforms from a solid Balm to a oil, so waterproof mascara better be afraid as it cuts through, no problem. I have bought this 3 times but to be honest I have used my Boots points the last two times to purchase it. Had I been paying full price maybe I wouldn’t of got it again, but it does do exactly what it says on the tin and is a really nice product.
Ponds Cold Cream £3.25
I have it on good authority and by saying that I mean my mum! that Kylie Minogue uses this product. This by far the cheapest of them all but by no means cheap in standards on how the cream performs. It has a thick consistency, feels very cold on the skin and removes makeup well, although tackling waterproof mascara did not come off as easily as others. If you don’t wear waterproof mascara then it would be ideal cheaper alternative.
I have bought this one multiple times, which I think speaks volumes. To be fair if its good enough for Kylie then its good enough me!
Pixi and Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse £24
When I first received this product I was excited to use it as I had used previously Pixi Nourishing Balm cleanser and found it to be amazing. I had high hopes. Unfortunately for me this product fell flat on its face for me. It has two parts, one luxurious cream cleanser and the other a solid balm which turns to oil. The solid balm removes eye makeup and does break down heavy makeup. Its the cream cleanser that bugs me as it doesn’t feel that luxurious. The packaging is annoying when you take it travelling. The cream cleanser migrates over to the solid balm and becomes a mess. I believe that this has been rectified in the latest models but I am not aware to what effect. In my opinion this is not a product I would purchase again.
Finial Thoughts
If you can introduce a balm cleanser into your routine then the winners for me is the Pixi Nourishing Cleansing Balm if you wear waterproof mascara or Ponds cold cream for those who do not. I hope that gave you an insight on why you should double cleanse and what product would be best for you.
Look out for next week on my review on Cleansers.

It is a treatment in the sense that it will condition your hair but it does so much more. I would use this like you would a primer and styler. It is a superb de-tangler,but while its conditioning this work horse of a product is also swelling every strand of hair with Emblica.
What is Emblica? Let me give you the low down. Emblica is a the indian gooseberry. A natural Fruit Extract which instantly thickens and plumps the hair. Also you would normally find this in Mascara! which would normally build fine lashes and add serious volume, Who Knew! This product does the same for your hair infusing each strand that you can literally feel your hair getting bouncier. It does not weigh the hair down at all, which is great if you have fine hair. It also does not dry the hair out and leaves it touchable softness.
How to use it? Shake well, spray throughout damp hair, follow with your fave Bb.Thickening Great Body Blow Dry Creme and blow-dry.

This heat protective cream will give you the volume leaving your hair touchable and soft with no stickiness. When used with Go big treatment you really have a matched made in heaven. Be prepared for sky high volume!
How to use it? Just work the product evenly through damp hair and blow dry. You can also just apply small amount to the ends to give your hair shine and that more lived in look.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8866″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]If you fancy having a try why not go to our website to see the full Bb Thickening range www.richardhallstyling.co.uk
