Product Review: Cream Silk Standout Straight Leave On Cream

     What is an emergency kit? I have a makeup kit that includes some of the products that I use for touch-ups. I don't have an emergency kit in my bag but it's important especially if you're always on the go. When I received this #Beauty911 kit from Cream Silk, I've realized that this kind of kit is very important as we really don't know when and where minor emergencies or beauty emergencies will arise.

Product Review: Cream Silk Standout Straight Leave On Cream
#AnytimeAnywhere #beauty911 kit

   
     For me, minor emergencies are unexpected situations that's part of our daily lives. Have you experienced one before like you suddenly felt nauseous and your head is throbbing? You need to drink a medicine for headache and otc medicine like this should be inside your emergency kit. Sewing kit is another thing especially for malfunctioned wardrobe. Aside from these basics, something for bad hair days must be inside your kit. Introducing Cream Silk’s Standout Straight Leave-On Cream, a hair polish and a leave-on conditioner in one. More details about the product below :)

What I like:

• The price- it's affordable.

• Instantly tames frizz and dry hair.

Always squeeze out remaining water on hair if you're planning to use it after taking a bath.

I Can Do It All with Pantene Pro-V Conditioner #DoItAllHair

     My hair has gone through a lot- styling, cutting, dyeing, name it and my locks have tried it. I can say that my hair can do it all BUT after those challenges (it's a challenge especially on virgin hair) my locks were in a state of total chaos. If my hair could talk, it would probably scream and ask me why, oh why! I've tried different brands of shampoos and conditioners in the past, in the hope that somehow it will bring back the shine and strength of my hair after all the abuses. Some brands will stay in my hair care essentials for a month or two, while others will simply help me resurrect my abused hair for days and weeks and after that, I'll be ditching one brand after the other. Honestly speaking, my hair found its holy grail in Pantene 3 Minute Miracle conditioner.

     If you love Pantene like I do, I'm sure you'll be excited to know more about the latest innovation/formulation in their conditioners. I want to share with you this good news from Pantene. They made their hair care line more potent and rich by adding the new molecule in Pantene Pro-V Conditioners- for a stronger, shinier hair that can take it all. In order for you to understand this breakthrough, read the information below :)

I Can Do It All with Pantene Pro-V Conditioner #DoItAllHair 

   
     Will your hair beat the heat and humidity outdoors? Is your hair still strong and shiny after 100 blow-dries? Is your hair protected from damaging factors like dust and pollution? The answer is yes – thanks to the award-winning brand, Pantene! The new and improved Pantene adds Histidine in its conditioners to restore and maintain hair health from the core, resulting in stronger hair that can take it all. With this formula upgrade, Pantene dares Filipinas to do it all: go on a sunny and windy adventure, reach the summit, try water sports, break a sweat and many others – without having to worry about their hair. Pantene’s newest innovation results in stronger, shinier hair for hair that can keep up with whatever life you lead.

The Miracle Molecule

     Rooted in proteomics research, the Pantene Hair Research Institute discovered that oxi-dative mineral build-up does not only exist on the surface but also occurs within hair’s deepest cuticle layers. These impurities create a damaging cascade of reactions that break down the hair’s protein structure, degrading it down to the core.

     The Histidine technology in Pantene conditioners has anti-oxidant properties, similar to the free radical fighting anti-oxidant ingredients in skin care products that work to prevent age spots and wrinkles. Histidine penetrates deep into the endocuticle layers in hair to seek out and identify oxidative mineral deposits, removing them to help protect hair’s naturally healthy, strong structure. Together with the EDDS Keratin Damage-Blocking technology in Pantene shampoos, Histidine reverse years of damage up to 2.5x more effective than Pantene shampoo alone.

     A glimpse down the memory lane, my hair have gone through a lot of the photos above and below. During that time, there's no Pantene 3 Minute Miracle conditioner. So after the abuses, I just settle to regular shampoos and conditioners. Now that there's Pantene Pro-V Conditioners, I can do it all again without worrying about the damage. I was dared by Pantene to go on an adventure to test my hair. It's an adventure where my hair be exposed to heat, humidity, and wind. I'll share the photos of my hair adventure on my Instagram account @Kathneko to keep you updated on my experience with the #DoItAllHair dare with Pantene :)

Bad Hair Days NO MORE with SYOSS

     'Tis the season to take care of our hair because of the change in weather. This erratic weather can draw out the nutrition of our crowning glory if you take it for granted. Now that the rainy season is upon us, we can expect the unexpected: some days are bound to be hot and humid, while other days will be wet and clammy. In any case, the changing weather is bound to bring about bad hair days—and who hasn’t had one?

     On a sunny day, even if they are ready with a hat or an umbrella, women feel their hair turning brittle from the hot weather, making it difficult to tame with a brush or comb. When it suddenly rains and the air turns damp, their gorgeous mane could turn limp and lifeless from the sudden downpour. There is no reason to fret when it comes to taming your hair this rainy season. Renowned Japanese hair care brand SYOSS gives the pampering you need to tame unruly locks. More details about SYOSS Hair Care products below :)

Bad Hair Days NO MORE with SYOSS

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon

     When it comes to salon hair care and services, I only trust a few stylists to touch my crowning glory. Since I have a colored-treated hair, it's given that my locks are prone to dryness and frizz. We're already in the last quarter of the year and this means that we will be entering the busy months of October, November, and December. This are the crazy months we're we are rushing things- buying gifts, planning reunions and parties, and going on a vacation.

     Having all these in our schedule, we must not forget ourselves and have a perfect 'me time' before holiday officially starts. I was invited to one of the newest beauty oasis in the metro three weeks ago where I had my most needed 'me time' with other beauty and fashion bloggers. Prior to this event, Martha of thebeautyjunkee blog gave a brief of CEDAR Salon and the pampering options that I can try on the day itself. I've chosen color, cut, and hair treatment that I really, really, really liked and enjoyed. Are you excited to know more about CEDAR Salon and see the new hair color that I'm sporting now? Scroll down please!

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon

     
     CEDAR Salon is the newest oasis in the city where one can reinvigorate and recharge the senses. Upon entering the salon, I felt relaxed because of the soothing spa ambiance. No funky-chemicalish salon scent, so those with sensitive nose can relax and breathe during your entire stay at the salon. But if you're having a hair color treatment, expect to smell a little bit of ammonia.

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon

     The place is roomy and has perfect lighting with big mirrors. I can say there's a zen in the room where all the services are made. I like the minimal design and the furniture in this salon. Relaxing, indeed!

     During the event, I was introduced to my stylist Jake. He is very kind and approachable. Yay to him because he did a great job in coloring my hair. I had a heart-to-heart talk with him in terms on cut, color, and style. He discussed with me the trends in hair cut that suits my hair type. I have long, thin and limp hair that I've kept uncut for almost 2 years. He said that I needed to cut the ends of my hair and give it a u-shaped look. I'll summarize below the important things he said to me and why I've achieved the hair color that I wanted :)

Hair color details:

Brand used: Schwarzkopf 

Shade: Combination of  8.11 and 7.56

Treatment: Bonacure Hair Therapy

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon
Clockwise L-R: My old hair color and long limpy hair, after shampooing, Jake is checking my hair (status, condition, and if the color will look even, and prepping for haircut.

• Before going to the salon, decide what hair color you like and let the stylist study it first.
• Rule of the thumb- if you have bleached hair or you have light hair color from the very start, expect that you will achieve the true color that you want or almost the same and close shade.
• If  you're really dying to have that hair color you have to undergo hair bleaching BUT always consider the condition of your hair.
• The quality of hair dye that will be used in coloring your hair depends on the brand. It's not a must but as much as possible, stick to only one brand of hair color so that next time that you're going to have another coloring sesh, you will achieve the hair color you want without the fuss.
• If you will not undergo hair bleaching, the only thing that will work in achieving the closest shade of your dream hair color is by mixing dyes. Ask  you stylist to give you a copy of the color chart. From the chart, let him explain which is which. What colors he/she is going to mix so that you will have an idea what the color will look like after application and waiting time.
• Always choose color + treatment service on the day of your visit to the salon. Remember that after the coloring process, hair is in the delicate state where all the nutrients have been stripped of because of the hair dye BUT fret NOT- hair treatment is here to rescue!
• Relax and enjoy while waiting for your new hair color. You can ask the stylist anything you want about the process and the after care treatment.
• Use hair care products- shampoo, conditioner, serum for colored-treated hair. Since the hair color will eventually fade, make sure to use products that will make the fading beautiful.

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon
Counter clockwise L-R: Haircut,  checking the hair color chart, and after applying the dye

   
     So here's the color of my hair after the event. Take note that this color will fade on the 4th or 5th day to the hair color that I really want- close ash brown hair color without bleaching. After the event, I can see that it's really the ash brown that I've dreamed of before. Jake also explained to me that the color of my hair will fade in either of the two shades in the chart because fading also depends on the hair care products I'm using.

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon
Look ma, the hair color that Jake recommended in the chart looks like this. This is the 8.11 shade

     

     After almost a week, I took another photo to see how beautiful my hair color faded. I run out of shampoo for color-treated hair that's why I'm using organic one right now. I also use a conditioner for color-treated hair. The photo was taken around 5 p.m. in natural lighting. No filter or other effects used. I also love the hair treatment  used in my hair after the color sesh. It made my hair soft, smooth, and shiny!

Feature: Divine pampering and ME TIME at CEDAR Salon
After a week, this is my hair color in natural lighting around 5 p.m. The shade looks like the one that I've encircled on the left photo above.

   
     Thank you so much CEDAR Salon in an afternoon of divine pampering. I always get compliments from my relatives and friends because of my hair color. To all my readers, I highly recommend CEDAR Salon. Since the holiday rush is coming, visit them today and book an appointment. Posting here the menu services for your reference.

Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil

     Hi dearies! I miss doing product reviews and drafts are already piling up again. My apologies for the lack of beauty, hair, and skin care updates. Anyhoo, here's a short review of my favorite hair care product as of the moment. I presume that you've already heard of Argan Oil and its uses. I've tried different beauty oils before and if I'll dig into my archive, I can say that I highly recommend argan oil for both hair and body. 

    Argan Oil is sometimes called "liquid gold" because of the benefits that you can get from head to toe. I I've tried an argan oil from another brand but I find it too heavy and it has a funky smell. So when I received this product from Tony Moly, my hopes of using argan oil in my hair rise again. More details about Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil below :)

Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil

Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil

• Argan oil essence treating damaged hair with intensive care nutrition.
• This product provide hair healthy elastic care.
• Contains fermented vegetable oil which give rich moisturizing and nutrition to the damaged hair.
• Absorbs easily by the hair.

     

     My hair is easy to manage because I just let my hair dry by itself. After using a towel, I will just comb it and apply this oil from Tony Moly. Yes, I apply it on my towel-dried hair. If you're thinking that it will just mix with my damp hair, no it will not. So when my hair is already dry, I can say that less frizz and the baby hairs are tamed.

Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil
It's 85 ml and I believe it will last a long way!

size: 2.99 fl.oz (85 ml)

price: 598 php (Around $12.70+ )

place bought: Free
Available in all Tony Moly stores nationwide

instruction for use: After towel dry, spread it on the wet hair all over . And then Dry. After dry, spread it on the hair tips.

ingredients: Eco argan oil 340mg

Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil
This product comes in a pump bottle. It's tad gold in color

What I like:

• The price- I consider it affordable because it contains 85 ml of product in a bottle.
• The packaging is sleek and travel friendly. It also comes with a pump that dispenses the right amount of product.
• The smell- this argan oil smells nice. It doesn't have the cooking oil smell.
• A little amount goes a long way.
• The texture of this argan oil from Tony Moly is thick but easily absorbed once applied on my hair.
• I love that it's not sticky nor greasy after application. I can say that it's velvety smooth.
• It doesn't weigh down my hair and it really controls the frizz.
• I have thin and limp hair but after applying this product, I can say that it looks a bit thicker.
• My color-treated hair looks shiny and healthy.
• Easily accessible.

What I don't like:

• None so far!

Will I repurchase? YES!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. I'm surprised that this product is at par with my favorite hair serum from a high end brand. I can say that this can be a close dupe in terms of the results and effects on my hair. If you're the type who likes applying hair care products to tame the frizz, then I highly recommend this to you. The scent of Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil is also something to look forward to because there's no 'cooking oil' kind of smell which I've sniffed from the past beauty oils that I've tried.

     

Have you this product from Tony Moly? What's your favorite hair serum?

Good Times!~

DISCLAIMER: This product was sent to me by Tony Moly for review. The thoughts expressed here are my honest opinion about the product. We have different skin types so what works for me may not work for you or vice versa.

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL

     Shopping online is one of the most accessible form of shopping these days as almost everyone is now online. Admit it or not, we are all busy. Even though we have time to drop by our favorite malls and department stores, there are times that we only shop for every day essentials. For beauty aficionado like me who live North of the metro, I find it hard to shop some mid and high end brands that I've been using or would love to try. Because of this dilemma, I've found two solutions to my problem: travel all the way from North to South just to go to the nearest mall carrying the brands I'm looking or find an online shop that carries the brand. NARS and Davines are two brands that's on my beauty wish list and I don't have immediate access to the stores that carries both.

     Fortunately, I've stumbled upon BeautyMNL. It's one of the up-and-coming beauty sites in the country. A major part of BeautyMNL is its Shop, where you can buy various skin care and beauty products and have it delivered to your doorstep within 24 hours. Sounds a truly promising shopping site for all our beauty and skin care needs. I visited the site, browsed their shop, and enjoyed my shopping experience. I was in skin care, makeup, and everything-cosmetics heaven! Scroll down to see what's inside my Beauty MNL haul below :)

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 

What is Beauty MNL?

   
     Beauty MNL is an online shop for the best skin care, makeup, tools and other beauty related stuff. It's a one-stop-shop that I highly recommend because they want you to feel your most beautiful. Every. Single. Day. Here are other reasons why in your next beauty shopping online, the best destination is Beauty MNL.com

1. They have more than 300 brands and counting. There are hard-to-find brands that you can only score at Beauty MNL. Yes, there are other online shops who can offer those but sometimes the question is authenticity. With Beauty MNL, you are sure that you're getting the real product in a very reasonable price.

4. The prices are affordable and reasonable. Shopping at their website is a breeze. No complicated tasks to do while shopping. Just pick a product and place them in your cart. They offer discounted prices too. As for the payment, they offer different modes that are so convenient for online shoppers. Ask me about the shipping? THE FASTEST I've experienced so far! I ordered my items around 10 p.m. and boy they arrived the next day before afternoon. The packaging is simple, with a delivery receipt that's itemized and very easy to understand. For Metro Manila addresses, expect delivery within 24 hours on weekdays (and Monday delivery for weekend orders). Meanwhile, it will take 3-5 working days for the rest of the country.

5. Since holiday season/Christmas shopping officially started, Beauty MNL has a gift guide section. Still don't know what to give your girl friends, relatives, and bff's this Christmas, let Beauty MNL help and guide you in choosing the best gift to give this holiday season.

     
     Now let's go to my simple haul. These are the products on my wish list that I found in Beauty MNL. I considered three items in my haul not easily accessible so yeah, I can say I found what I need under one roof. I will just say a little information about my haul and will just give full details on my product reviews.

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 

     
     I've been lusting over NARS cosmetics for more than five years now. When I saw NARS Schiap swatches from beauty bloggers all over the world, I said to myself that I will buy a tube in the future. My dream came true! I wasn't able to buy the shade that I'm lemming but I found another love in NARS Audacious Lipstick in Michiyo :)

     Second that I've been dreaming of all these years is NARS Blush in Orgasm. I saw this blush shade from the makeup kit of celebrities like Lucy Torres. I fell in love with the shade years ago and I said to myself that I will save up to buy a pan in the future. Now, I already have this. Thanks to Beauty MNL :) 

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 
NARS Blush in Orgasm

   
     The following beauty products you'll see below are the products that I dubbed as not easily accessible. I can't say it's hard to find because there are online shops who also sell these brands BUT the only problem I always encounter is it's either the shade is out of stock, the product hasn't arrived yet or simply it available in selected shops. First is Naturactor Cover Face Foundation. This shade is always OOS or hard to find, good thing Beauty MNL offers a wide selection of shades. So when I saw the shade 130, I immediately placed it in my shopping cart.

Naturactor Cover Face Foundation

   
     Another product that I can't find in stores, malls and local online shops is Davines Oi Oil. This is my favorite high-end hair product. When I emptied one bottle, I had a hard time finding a new one as I need to look for selected salons carrying the brand. It took me months to restock on this but to no avail. The only answer is Beauty MNL. I bought a new bottle that will last me a long time!

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 

   
     And lastly, a new lip balm from Shiseido. I'm not sure if this is available in Shiseido counters. I picked this because I'm running out of lip balm the time I'm shopping at Beauty MNL. Out of curiosity, I bought one. Well, it's something new for me and since the brand is Shiseido no need for me to ask why.
