Are there any cruelty free products that are better than olaplex?

Are there any bond building products that are better than olaplex for a similar or lower price point?

I bleached my hair a few months back (professionally) and the breakage I'm starting to get is bugging me. It's not crazy but it's more than what I'd like and what I'm used too. I'm also a lot more dry and frizzy now.

Olaplex is kind of pushing the budget and k18 is way out of my price range.

Thanks

I guess I'm no longer shopping at adorebeauty

To preface this, I am in NZ.

I went to use my $20 birthday voucher only to discover they hiked the shipping prices up.

Now even with the $20 voucher I can get this item at the same price or lower from somewhere local. They use the absolute worst courier service for my area so I have to wait weeks for it to be delivered and I very rarely spend over $100 in one order to utilize the "free" shipping.

Compared to Sephora where I'm gold so have no minimum spend for free shipping or Mecca where the minimum spend is $25.

A year ago there was free shipping over $30. Then it went to free shipping over $75 but shipping was only $3 under that threshold.

Now it's free shipping over $100 or $11 under that.

Anti frizz cream recommendations

Hello!

Wondering what y'all recommend for a good anti frizz cream. I just finished off the last of my ouai anti frizz cream and I loved that it was lightweight and didn't make my hair greasy but I dont think it helped mush with frizz.

I have slightly wavy hair that I have recently balayaged so there is some bleach damage. Medium texture but high density.

I am looking at the olaplex one but would love thoughts and suggestions

Sephora birthday gifts

It's my birthday this month so I got the annual Sephora birthday email to choose my birthday gift. I am Gold, and I was gold last year.

These gifts are a huge step up from last year!

Last year I only had one option and it was the NudeStix lip balm and lip pencil.

This year there is 3 options: NudeStix pencil, Tarte trio and Amika trio. The app and the email doesn't specify shades unfortunately but based on the photos this is what is included.

Nudestix: full sized lip & check pencil.

Tarte trio: Maneater mascara 2ml, Maracuja lip plump 0.7g and Maneater blush and glow 1.4ml

Amika: The Kure shampoo and conditioner 35ml each, The Kure intense strength repair mask 50ml.

I did opt for Amika, I recently bleached my hair from brunette to blond so I couldn't turn down a bond building hair care set.

Also in case anyone is wondering, I did also receive my gold retention gift from Sephora. it was a biossance duo which came with squalane and marine algae eye cream 5ml and squalanae and omega moisturizer 15ml

If you own the red Rav4 with rego starting with "Q" and your car was sideswiped while parked in front of noel leeming at the Albany supa centre this afternoon, feel free to dm me.

I was in the car next to the one that hit you this afternoon and have a photo of the other cars rego number. She immediately got out the car and left so I don't know if you got their details.

I'm not local to Auckland so I'm not in the FB community pages to post there.

Hello!

I'm wanting a lightweight, light coverage under eye concealer for brightening. I don't have any under eye concerns that I want covered and all my current concealers are full coverage which is fine for ultra glam days but not for light makeup every day.

I have the nyx bare with me serum concealer and while it's fine it's not a HG. I can't quite put my finger on why but I just do not reach for it. (It may just be the pump)

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

Bonus points for cruelty free only.

Thanks!
