Just Sharing

Saturday, July 14, 2012

     O-M-G! It's end of season sale once again. I know it's crazy! I'm planning to lift my no buy mode (parang coding lang =P) hehehe! but here's my bipolar personality again. I would love to shop new clothes and shoes since the last time I bought a pair of flats was months ago. But I'm worried that I will regret buying those stuffs. It's weird, I know! I'm also confused what brand to buy. Most stylish items are on sale so this will make me go nuts! Even if I already made my shopping list that I restricted only to three items (THREE ONLY) I'm sure that I will ignore it most specially if the items that caught my eye is 70% off the tag. I'm an impulse buyer before. I hope I can resists the power of temptation. So before I go on bargain hunting later, I want to share this post so you know what to expect on my next reviews. 

     Please bear with me for the long introduction. If you can still remember my post about being lucky on giveaways, well thanks to my lucky charm because I also won from other giveaways that I joined. This GC is for my son Kenzo and the hubby who loves eating chicken and burger :D and oh, coffee float is enough for me.

500PHP GC from Jollibee
     My sister-in-law gave me this new product from AVON to review. She said this new hair treatment is on a special introductory price that's why she wanted me to give it a try. The hair treatment costs 199php. It's a steal because the shampoo is free. 
AVON Advance Techniques 3D
     This loot came from my sister. It's a way of saying thank you from asking a very important favor. She also saw this Tiny Buds baby powder at The Landmark baby section. At first I thought its for Kenzo but she told me to try it as finishing powder. When I read that it's made of real rice grains, I doubt it on keeping oilies at bay. But I have to road test it first, who knows this can be an HG material.
     I will end my post here dearies! My allergies are still there but not as itchy as day 1 and 2. I'm just worried that it will leave marks. I accidentally scratched them while sleeping :(  So to those who are going to spend their day shopping, take care and relax! Enjoy your day.

Good Times!~




     

Product Review: AVON Advance Techniques Frizz Control Serum

Sunday, July 01, 2012

     Hi dearies! How's your day? I'm having bad hair days now. I really need something that will make my color-treated hair healthy. I noticed that my hair is dry and dull. I'm not sure if I'm going to blame this on Clairol Herbal Essences Color Me Happy shampoo that I'm road testing now. This is not the first time that I had problem with my tresses. I guess the culprit of my untamed and lifeless hair is the new shampoo that I'm using everyday. Good thing my sister gave this hair serum last time I went to my parents house. She just got lazy fixing her hair lately that's why I saw this bottle sitting on her stash. I'm not a fan of hair styling products but when situation like this arises, I also look for something that will save my unruly hair.

Nozzle type bottle

This is the amount of product that I apply on my thin hair
What I like:
  • Simple and handy packaging.
  • The nozzle type tube dispenses the right amount of product.
  • A little amount of the product goes a long way.
  • Makes my color-treated hair look healthy.
  • Non-greasy and doesn't weigh down my hair.
  • Controls my frizzy hair.
  • The scent is okay, not overpowering.
What I don't like:
  • Not easily accessible, you have to call an AVON lady to place your order.
  • A little expensive for my tight budget.
Will I repurchase? No, I want to try other hair care product from the same line.

Recommendation: 
     I give this a 3.75/5 rating. This product saves my bad hair day. But the price is a bit steep for me if I'll compare this to Vitress that's only a fraction of the cost. I tried cheap hair serums before and I think it is comparable to this product too. 

     How do you cope with your bad hair day?Share your thoughts. Have a blessed Sunday!

Good Times!~
