The New Generation of Palmolive Naturals

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you today The New Generation of Palmolive Naturals Shampoo and Conditioner that was sent to me last week. A huge box containing a green acrylic bucket arrived in our doorsteps and I was surprised to see the new generation of shampoos and conditioners from Palmolive Naturals. My son was so excited to see what's inside so he opened the box for me. He said "mom, they smell good" to which I replied "yes, that's the trademark of Palmolive Naturals" 

     This brand of shampoo is one of the cult fave ever since I was a kid. I feel nostalgic looking at the bottles and how the packaging has evolved from different shapes and sizes.

Balayage Ombre by Azta Urban Salon

     You only live once, so step out and try a new hair color! Hello there dearies! Lemme share with you the highlights of my Azta Urban Salon Style Sessions happened last September 24 at their newest SM Jazz Makati branch. I'm so excited to muse about my first Ombre hair color to date and I'm so happy and satisfied with the outcome because aside from great customer service I experienced that day, my stylist Ms. Lyn explained everything to me, the pros and cons of the Ombre color peg that I've chosen. So before I start, here's a little background about Azta Urban Salon:

     Azta Urban Salon began in 2004 as a small beauty and grooming nook in the Ortigas area. Catering to a broad young market, they gradually became known for their personalized customer service (which I really, really like!), as well as the hip, stylish, and up-to-date haircuts that they do. 

     With stylish yet reasonably priced cuts being their core competence, they strongly believe that everyone has the basic right to STYLE. Inspired by the latest trends in fashion from both here and abroad, the creative team comes up with a new set of cut collection every year. We Liberate Style!

Product Review: Natura Organics Revitalizing Hair and Scalp Mist SPF8

        Happy Monday dearies! Say goodbye to bad hair days the natural way! The state of my hair as of the moment is a bit high maintenance because I've gone to two hair treatments in just a month and I feel guilty of the abuse. My hair was colored twice already and I need to be vigilant of protecting it against damage. Two of the consequences that I'll be facing now would be dryness and frizz. Since I have a thin and limp hair, it tends to get dry easily once chemicals are applied.

     Good thing I have a savior and that's the little bottle on the photo below. This hair mist was sent to me by Natura Organics months ago and I wasn't able to use it immediately because I was road testing another product that time from another brand and sadly it failed my expectations. I consider this product a miracle because it delivers! I've been using the product for two weeks now and it gave positive results.

Getting a Stylish Look at a Reasonable Price

     Style is relative. It comes down to personal preferences as much as it has to do with fashionable trends. Style is also relative to a person’s point of view on a lot of things in society. Like most things, style has its place. For many people, style is a priority and they want to exhibit and display their own style with class.

My Mucota Hair Treatment at Park Jun's Beauty Lab Glorietta Branch

    Hello! Here's another super late post from one of the hair treatments that I've tried last December. My hair that time was digipermed so you'll see me with curls here :) I'm back to straight hair now because of another treatment.

Coppola Keratin Complex Treatment by Vivere Salon Gateway Tower Mall Branch

     We don't want a bad hair day right? We always want to achieve a salon like-treated hair that's so healthy and shiny! Start the year right with the right hair treatment and I'm sure your hair will be beautiful all year round. For me, my hair is one of the best assets that I have. It's naturally straight that's why I don't too much effort for maintenance of it. But when I started abusing my hair physically and chemically three years ago, I was forced to maintain it with the right kind of hair treatment shampoos, conditioners, masks and of course salon services. 

     If you're a long time reader of this blog, prolly you've seen my hair transformations. I always change the color of my hair using different DIY products, I already change the style of my hair not only just plain straight cut but I already had my hair digi permed and if time and situation permits, I attend events that will showcase their services and products. Yes, I've been to different salons in the metro and I've seen every aspect of their business from their services, man power, customer service, products, sanitation and the like. I can say that many salons offer reasonable prices for their services but there are also other things to consider. I'm a cheapskate so every peso that I spend on the products or services that I pay for should be worth the price. Are you tired of going to salons that offers services beyond your budget yet your not satisfied? I'm very excited to share with you another hair transformation that happened last Saturday at one of the most posh, neat and good value for money salon- Vivere Salon Gateway Mall Branch.

Product Review: Be Organic Argan Oil Conditioner

     If you think shampooing your hair everyday is the solution to fight frizz and dryness, then think again! Conditioners are life savers, for me and for my hair. I honestly can't live without conditioner. If I can count the days that I've washed my hair with my favorite shampoos, methinks applying conditioner everyday not only once but sometimes twice will be very hard to track using numbers. Yes, I can say I'm a conditioner addict :) If you have damaged, dry and frizzy hair and you skip conditioner everyday, chances are you're missing a very important step in treating your hair troubles.

     Have you read my review on Be Organic Argan Oil Shampoo? I mused there that I've used the shampoo everyday because it didn't gave me negative reactions and whatsoever. I broke my hair mantra to shampoo my hair twice or thrice a week. Since my hair didn't experience problems with the shampoo, here comes the conditioner. The one that I can't skip during bath time. As I've mentioned before, Ms. Cheryl of Be Organic Bath and Body make sure that my hair will have the utmost care by sending me products from their luxurious hair care line. Again, Argan oil is one of the most expensive beauty oil in the market today. Can you guess how this conditioner have fare with my semi- damaged, frizzy and dry hair? Click CONTINUE READING to find out!

Our Argan Conditioner is a luxurious blend of the amazing miracle oil, Argan and the precious Jojoba Oil, Silk Protein and Panthenol to help repair, moisturize and strengthen the hair, leaving it soft, shiny and frizz-free and healthy

Product Review: Be Organic Argan Oil Shampoo

     Hellos! Today let me share with you another long overdue post. If you can still remember my IG posts, Ms. Cheryl of Be Organic Bath and Body sent me full-sized bottles of their Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. The moment I received these products, I was very giddy and excited to try them both because I've already tried argan oil shampoo in the past and my hair absolutely love it. The brand that I've tried before has different formulation and texture but I think both are very effective in making damaged hair healthier and livelier. 

     I presume that you've already heard the thoughts of international beauty bloggers about argan oil and it's effectiveness not only in skin but also in their tresses. As I've mentioned above, argan oil is very effective in making my hair less dry and frizzy. I can say that my hair is the most abused part of my body because I always change its color every two or three months. With the use of Be Organic Argan Oil shampoo everyday (I don't shampoo my hair everyday before), there's a big difference in the texture and the appearance of my color-treated hair. I absolutely like the effect of this shampoo on my scalp because it somehow relieved the itchiness that I have experienced not from dandruff but from taking grape seed extract which is a known side effect of that supplement. So here's my review of Be Organic Argan Oil Shampoo, click CONTINUE READING for more details.

Our premium SULFATE-FREE shampoo is a blend of rich natural ingredients and the amazing miracle oil, Argan. This gentle formula cleanses the hair while nourishing it with Argan Oil, Silk Protein, Panthenol and Nutrients.

Product Review: Moringa-O² Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil

     Are you afraid of using oils on your face and body? I guess the answer would be yes and no. We are all afraid of bad oils inside our system because we all know that fats and cholesterol can cause serious illnesses that may lead to death. But fret not because our topic today is about beauty oils :) It's not fatal and it does only good for our skin. Have you tried using beauty oils in your face and body? If yes, I'm sure you've encountered not only one but more than two kinds of beauty oils in the market today. I'm not new to oils because I've tried more than three so far- sunflower, emu and argan oil. From my experience, these three oils are very effective in addressing certain skin and hair problems that's why I'm very excited to try other kinds of beauty oils because I believe that it can make wonders not only for a certain part of the body but from head to toe!

     Today, let me introduce you to another miracle oil in a bottle. The Moringa-O2 Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil. This product contains not only one beautifying oil but three oils that can heal and prevent skin problems- moringa, olive, and sunflower oil! We all know that moringa/malunggay oil has a lot of skincare benefits, add olive and sunflower oil that's also known to aid skin ailments with regular use.

     If you're still skeptical in using beautifying oils in your skin and body here's an excerpt from Ashton Kaidi, MD, co-founder of Marula: The Leakey Collection. "Oils are essential to your skin’s health because they keep your outer protective layer of skin cells together, making you look younger while protecting against future damage,”

     So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of the product. I'm also proud to tell you that I let my sister use this oil as a treatment for hair fall and she swears that it's effective after three consecutive use. As for my observations, click CONTINUE READING to find out!

Moringa-O² Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil is a rare blend of oils from moringa (malunggay), olive and omega (sunflower) oils. These three powerful oils are very rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. They are natural cleansers, have high emollient properties and are all naturally antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Together, they cover a wide spectrum of benefits rooted in nature providing a healthier, gentler, and more skin-hair-scalp-compatible from babies to more mature individuals.

Product Review: Vidal Sassoon Premium Color Care Shampoo

     Hellos! Here's a quick review of Vidal Sassoon Premium Care Shampoo. As I've said before, I don't shampoo my hair everyday but when I tried this shampoo that I got from Sample Room together with the conditioner, dared washing my hair everyday. I never doubted because this brand has been a very effective product for my virgin black hair way way back. I just forgot why this was discontinued in the market but now the legacy lives on. I was very excited when I saw that Vidal Sassoon will be available again locally and to show my giddiness, I immediately grab a full-sized sample at Sample Room last month. 

     Lo and behold, my hair still loves Vidal Sassoon. I already reviewed the premium color care conditioner and love it to bits. Wanna see my review? Click HERE :) So after raving about the conditioner which I use not only everyday but sometimes twice a day, here's another product from Vidal Sassoon that I think will also make to the must have hair care products for every Filipina. Click CONTINUE READING to find out my thoughts about the product :)

Product Review: Vidal Sassoon Premium Color Care Conditioner

     Hello dearies! I want to share with you today another review of an amazing hair care product that's been around since I was in high school. I can still remember those times when my mom and I always include Vidal Sassoon shampoo and conditioner in our shopping cart. I forgot the variant that we're using before but I swear that it really delivers in giving our hair the healthy shine it needs. I have a shoulder length virgin black hair before and most of my mom's girlfriends asked me what's the secret in keeping my hair shiny and healthy. My mom recommended them Vidal Sassoon and that time I think this brand of shampoo was regarded as one of the best selling in the market. 

     Thanks to Sample Room for giving us a full-sized sample of the conditioner from premium color care line. I was very lucky to grab a hold of both shampoo and conditioner because the stocks run out already the minute after I got my sample. Good thing they restocked on both premium base and color care line so if you still have points at Sample Room do check and grab your own samples now!

     I'm very happy that the brand that we love came back with a vengeance of making hair salon like ready while using at home! The first thing I noticed was the packaging and the color of the bottle. It's unique, sexy and fierce! No wonder why most of the women that I saw passing by the Vidal Sassoon shelves in one of the supermarket that I went to last time were enticed to hold the bottle and read the label. Are you excited to read my thoughts about the conditioner? My hair is color-treated so the premium color care conditioner is the right type of product for my hair. Click CONTINUE READING to find out if this brand still fits the bill.

Product Review: Be Organic Argan Oil Intensive Treatment Hair Mask

     For some women, hair is one of the most high maintenance part of the body. I'm sure you'll agree with me especially if you have long black or color treated hair. How many shampoos and conditioner do you use everyday and how many times a month do you treat your hair for a luxurious hair treatment at home or at your favorite salon? If you're a hair conscious babe, I'm sure you visit the salon regularly for different kinds of hair treatment suited to your hair needs. 

     Do you sometimes wish that even if you have chemically processed/treated hair, your tresses will be low maintenance? How we wish right?! I have a long chemically treated hair. My hair had gone through a lot of coloring and other hair treatment procedures that includes mechanical and chemical processes. I can say that my hair is in the state I know my hair is dry and damaged because every time I look in the mirror or every time I touch my hair, I can see and feel the effects of those nasty chemicals. I already tried hair treatment products from high end, cost-effective and budget friendly ones. Some of them made my hair more damaged while others have temporary effect but these kind of treatments should be done regularly. Aside from the budget, you also have to consider time and effort if you really want to maintain beautiful tresses like those that you see from hair product commercials. Do you feel like you've invested everything but none of them works? Why don't you try something natural and organic? Here's my honest to goodness review of Be Organic Argan Oil Intensive Treatment Hair Mask that was sent to me Be Organics Bath and Body, a DIY hair treatment that really works!
