Review: Madara Colour & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

I occasionally get the chance to review products made in other countries. I was excited when I received products from Madara, a company from Latvia. They make a Colour and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, which I have reviewed below.

Pros:

• Gentle on color-treated hair
• Conditioner has a light detangling effect
• Smells slightly of apples
• Shampoo is Eco Cert certified
• Attractive bottles
• Recycled packaging
  

Review: Madara Protecting Hand Cream

If you work with your hands, sometimes regular lotions aren't enough. Madara makes a hand lotion designed to provide intensive moisture: the Protecting Hand Cream.

Pros:

• Pleasant almond scent
• Absorbs quickly
• Light lotion suitable for day use
• Nice texture
• A little goes a long way

Review: Madara Anti-Cellulite Cream

I used to think it was funny how the media sensationalizes cellulite. I was in college at the time and thought it was a problem that only affected older women, so it seemed like a way to get 30-somethings to buy products they didn't need. Little did I know that just a few years later, still in my twenties, I would find cellulite on my own body. What is a girl to do?

I was doing well on my resolution to get in shape, but my cellulite was still there after a few months. It was time to bring in the big guns: I would try a cellulite cream — but not just any cellulite cream. I wanted something natural, so I turned to Madara's Anti-Cellulite Cream.

Pros:

• Pleasant citrus scent
• Helps improve skin texture over time
• Nice, creamy lotion texture
• Easy to apply (pump bottle)
• Contains many organic ingredients
