Review: Shielo Products (Hydrate Natural Refreshing Mist, Anti-Aging Smoothing Complexion Scrub, Volume Bounce Style Creme, Antioxidant Leave In Protectant)

Shielo is a U.S. product brand that creates hair and skin products that are cruelty free.  They make sure to create the best products for their customers to ensure desired performance and ultimate results. 

About a month ago, Giuliana from Shielo sent me four products to review.  I was pleasantly surprised when I saw four full-sized products!  I honestly was expecting sample bottles.  Shielo was very generous.  They were also very efficient.  When it comes to testing out skin and hair products, I like to try them out for a few weeks.

The products (L-R: Hydrate Natural Refreshing Mist, Anti-Aging Smoothing Complexion Scrub, Volume Bounce Style Creme, Antioxidant Leave In Protectant)

For hair: refreshes and neutralizes odors from environmental factors, while hydrating each strain for fresh, free flowing hair. (Spray on wet hair and comb through for a exceptional moisture infusion before styling.  Spray on dry hair to revitalize style and refresh.)

For skin: Use as a gentle toner after cleansing.  A delicate blend of botanical extracts including Aloe Vera from a protective shield that locks in moisture and provide a natural source of nutrients. (Use anytime.  Spray generously on face and body after bath or shower.  Can be used on bare skin or sprayed over makeup to set and keep fresh.  Position bottle 12 inches from skin prior to applying the mist.)

I loved how refreshing this mist actually was on both my skin and hair.  Dual products are always great especially when you are on a budget.  I used this everyday on myself.  With my hair, I always end up putting it up in a ponytail so I don't have to deal with it.  However, now that this spray will revitalize my hair makes it more tamed.  Also with my skin, I use it mostly after a light workout to hydrate my skin and always use it to set my makeup.  There is so many things you could do with this product, who wouldn't want to try it?!

Swatches: Blended and Unblended

Directions: Use once or twice a week depending on skin type.  Apply to clean, moist face and neck.  Gently massage face in a circular motion.  Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

This Anti-Aging Scrub uses non-irritating jojoba beads to gently remove dead skin cells and also stimulates new cell growth. I liked that I could just use this once a week especially since I have dry skin.  After each time use, I noticed my skin appeared healthier and smoother.  Another plus is that I actually like its light scent.

Swatches: Blended and Unblended

Directions: To add volume for free flowing hairstyles, massage product into damp hair prior to blow-drying.  Can be used to separate dry hair or add texture to finished professional styles.

I believe this is the first time I have ever used a style creme in my hair.  I already have thick hair so I didn't care much for its volumizing and thickening effects.  I really wanted to see how it tamed frizzes since that is one problem I have with my hair.  Aside from that, this creme also helps you to create soft bounce and defined curls with a flexible hold.  I honestly never thought a creme could hold curls so well.

Directions: Mist throughout clean, towel-dried hair.  For best color protection, comb through to ends to deeply preserve.  Do no rinse.  Style as usual.  Can be used throughout the day.  

With this spray, I mainly used it before and after flat ironing my hair.  In the past I would straighten my hair every single day, but once I noticed how much that was damaging my hair I stopped.  Nowadays I will only straighten my hair on the weekends if I go out.  Once I received this product, I decided to see how well it worked so I tried it out several days a week.  This product has a very light scent which goes away soon after.  I have frizzy hair especially after washing my hair, so I was relieved to see that this spray also curbs frizzes.  Using this spray is great and my hair feels healthy.

What are your thoughts?
