LUSH Snow Fairy Sparkle Bar

I’ve always loved cute stuff from LUSH… this fun, glittery pink thing is not an exception.

With irresistibly yummy fruity marshmallow-y fragrance of Snow Fairy, LUSH injected lovely butter and sparkle in this cute little bar… unfortunately, my bar doesn’t look that cute anymore now… Tropical heat pretty much makes all LUSH body butter and massage bars mushy and not pretty to photograph…

Im not gonna go into depth about the fab ingredients in this cute pink thing… bottomline.. I love the texture and how it moisturizes my skin… albeit I would avoid this during rainy or humid day… there’s such thing as too moisturizing, even for my skin…

I was initially a little worried with color transfer when I purchased this. But im glad to report that this hasn’t been the case. My clothes and bed sheets doesn’t stained pink… 

Bottomline...
instant love! who can say no to sweet marshmallow-ey, hot pink colored stuff? easily absorbed too! hey... i sometime use a bit on my hair ends too! I'm gonna wait for this again next Christmas!

John Frieda Frizz Ease Hair Serum

Of my hair product haul recently, I somehow had the highest hope for this one...

(superdrug.com)

Why? The packaging... no, not the design, but the before after picture! looks like a potent potion we have in this little plastic bottle! Then look at the instruction... they actually recommended us to use it while the hair is still wet... my personal experience, it means the product need to be spread thinly and evenly to get best result... if used on dry hair, it would need to be diluted a bit...

But... I find it difficult to decided whether I love this product or not... my first try, with soaking wet hair, as instructed didn't yield good result. Frizz iz ztill hereeee... 

Experience is the best teacher... so, I applied it on my co-washed hair (wash hair only with water and conditioner, sans shampoo... just to clean up and freshen up my hair a bit‎), my hair was towel dried this time... heyyy!!! even better result! My hair feelss softer!

Third try was on towel dried hair, which have been moisturized lightly with body shop moringa oil. I styled it as usual, and I loved the result! My hair feels soft and it help keep my hair straighter! Even in this humid weather.

The serum itself is easy to work with... thick and cleat with minimal fragrance. One and a half pump is enough for my dry, thick, frizzy hair. My hair is medium length-slightly longer than shoulder.

It spreads easily and get absorbed fast. Don't apply too much though... trust me, little goes long way... else you risk having the oily hair look... 

For those with finer hair, it might be wise to follow the instruction by applying a little to wet hair...

Bottomline... 

It took me sometime to figure out how to maximize this product, but I grow to love it. it doesn't feel siliconey... it just makes my hair smoother and softer! easier to flat iron too! Repurchase? May be... after I finished trying my hair care haul... and finished this bottle!

Mods Hair Hot Care Intensive Repair Essence

I have been trying to suppress my cosmetic shopping and focus on finishing piles of stuff I have bought… but… sigh… resolution remains resolution…

http://mods-style.com/haircare/product/hotcare05.php

Enter Mods Hair Hot Care line. I need my hair to be more easily managed and tidy… so, I suppose new repair essence wont hurt my wallet… (of course, I didn’t stop with the repair essence, I reached the cashier with piles of other stuff I will review sooner…)

Mods Hair is Japanese line from Unilever, now available in Singapore. This sleek hot pink bottle is designed for dull, coarse, unmanageable, dry and damaged hair. just what I need!

It contains Triple Heat Oil to repair damage while you heat style your hair. This bottle promises me product that is not sticky and spreads easily. Plus… floral passion fragrance to keep me cheerful all day… let’s see if the claim is accurate…

I tried this repair essence with dry hair and towel dried hair during the past two days. I continued both tries with flat ironing and styling as usual.

I have to say I prefer the result when used on towel dried hair. my hair feels smooth to touch, and true enough, it is not sticky at all. Makes my hair straight for longer time than usual… plus it doesn’t have silicone-y feel…

As for the fragrance claim… it is soft and light.. but it doesn’t last all day…

Anyways… I am loving the product and most probably re-purchase!
