Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Range Review 

Shampoo £1.94 | Conditioner £1.94 | Oil £6.66

I'm going to say the thing that you're not really supposed to say, but everyone really should. That's to state my favourite part of myself, (physically) which is my hair. There I said it, I actually rather like my hair! On it's good days anyway. So I love to find things that do wonders for it. I used to work in a hairdressers so used to have a range of 'upmarket' hair care products at my fingertips for a discounted price and even free sometimes. So you can imagine my horror when I actually discovered how much all this stuff would actually cost me! This found me taking to boots and such places to discover hair care miracles at affordable prices! Which leads me to purchasing Garnier's new product from their Ultimate Blends range. There are six choices in the range and all offer a tailored service for each hair problem or type; from split ends to coloured hair. The range boasts using blends of Moroccan Argan Oil and Japanese Camelia Oil, which are "reputed for its shine-restoring properties." I opted for The Marvellous Transformer, I wanted to try either The Shine Revitaliser or The Silky Smoother but I couldn't find either in store! Copy the link here to see the full range: http://www.boots.com/en/Garnier/Garnier-Ultimate-Blends/
 The Marvellous Transformer is for dull, dry hair which suited my needs more than the others there. I bought the Shampoo, Conditioner and also the hair oil. 

The results from the shampoo were, as they say on the bottle, marvellous! I shampooed twice then conditioned, and have used the oil both before and after blow-drying, but I found the results were best doing it before as my hair dried lovely, felt silky, looked shiny and smelt amazing! The three products cost me £10.54 in total with the oil being the most expensive. I feel for the results, the price is defiantly worth it! I would recommend these products and encourage you to buy the one that will benefit your hair needs to get the most out of them! I hope you find my review useful! 
Also, if you have any questions about the range or hair in general or any requests for anything you'd like to see on The Chic Greek, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at corcyraburley23@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

Revlon Parfumerie Nail Varnish Review


I just wanted to start by saying I haven't posted in around two weeks, I've been annoyingly busy and have missed doing my blog posts. I am very happy to be back doing one though and relieved I have so much more spare time! Today I will be writing a review on Revlon's new nail product; Parfumerie. A scented polish that comes in 20 stunning shades! Each having a distinctive scent to compliment the colour. They have three scent groups within the range, Sweet & Spicy which consists of spicy, woody deep tones, the colours are browns, golds and deep purples. Fresh, which are clean, crisps scents, these compliment a lot of blues and greens, and finally Fruit & Floral which speaks for itself I think scent wise and has a pretty range of colours from deep green to pinks to accompany the scents. I have bought four from the collection and I really love all of them! Colour and scent wise. A lot of people were unsure about having scented nail polish, who really wants there finger nails to smell? Is it really that important? But when you get a smell of these polishes you'll just be thinking, yes it is vital! The quality of the product is very high with very stylish, clean packaging, I especially love the lid! So they will look great on display on a dressing table. Also, the colours are gorgeous! Very rich colour and my favourite, Watermint is a beautiful sea foam shimmery green colour with blue glitter mixed in, it's so beautiful! I probably look slightly biased towards Revlon on my blog as this is the second review I have done on their new products but it's growing to be one of my favourite drugstore brands, high quality products at a good price! And I'm always taking advantage of Boots' three for two offer! Below are the shades I have bought and the kind of scents they have. If you do smell these in store they won't do it justice though, the full effect comes in to place when the polish drys! 

GINGER MELON
This is defiantly my favourite scent of all four! A vibrant summery pink along
with a fruity twist! Perfect for summer.

CHINA FLOWER
The perfect shade of red. Simple yet gorgeous. This has a very grown up
fruity scent too it, fabulous!

WATERMINT
This is such a stunning colour, so sparkly and pretty! This scent is a very strong
minty one, not my favourite but the colour makes up for it.
SURF SPRAY
Blue is defiantly one of favourite colours and I love this one!
Very vibrant and the scent reminds of being on holiday
or by the beach so this is a winner for me. Can't wait to wear this is in the sun! 



Thanks for reading & I hope you all have a fabulous Easter weekend!

Topshop Sale Favourites 

Nothing makes me happier than a sale, well that's a lie, a few things do but sales are right near the top of my list. I'm an avid bargin hunter and love to search through the rails to find a gem! Topshop has just started it's mid season sale to make way for new summer clothes (which is just as exciting) but I see nothing wrong with adding some 'out-dated' pieces to my wardrobe for half the original price, so here are my favourite items from the sale this month. However, if I bought them all and spent this amount I would hardly call it bargin hunting! So I'll probably only get two items, or three, if I'm feeling generous. Also, as you can probably tell from this post I'm into patterns and pretty shoes at the minute, I've been looking at a lot of photo's of Olivia Palermo recently and love her style!
P.s I hope you like my new blog logo, designed and created my Drew Morgan I absolutely love it! Follow him on Twitter @drwmrgn & Instagram @drewmorgandesign to see more of his amazing work!
