Review: Ponds eye contour cream

I am not generally one who is interested in eye creams but something about the cute little packaging made me want to try it out. My mom always said that my grandma used ponds and her skin was always gorgeous so I decided to give it a try. It comes in an adorable little pot and the smell is a clean gentle scent which is nice for around the eyes. I loved the consistency, rich but almost serum like. It was fab for my dry skin! I can wear it under make up too which is an additional bonus. A little goes a long way so its good value for money, I can't remember exactly but around £5. So if you are looking for a moisturising eye cream that can soothe this is a lovely one, would recommend it!


Review: Ojon Rare blend oil

Recently I purchased a set of ojon products from a CCO store. It was a great deal and so I felt I needed to give ojon a try ;) I had heard a ton of people raving about ojon for the longest while and I guess curiosity took over! So this is the ojon rare blend oil - Total hair therapy, first of all it comes in a funky 3 layers (I suppose since the oils have different densities) which looks rather fancy and if you shake it you get a mix of the 3 layers. As for the packaging, it looks fab however I found that since it did not have a pump it got kind of messy and was generally inconvenient. I really enjoyed the exotic citrusy scent but again I was not convinced with the texture of the oil especially for my curly hair type. It felt almost as if it never got absorbed and just sat on my hair. It was also thicker than the normal serums I use, hence it sort of has a tendency to leave hair greasy feeling :( The way I liked using this product was by using it as a deep treatment hair mask, quite nice warmed up too. I just applied it to my tips, where I have quite dry hair. This worked quite well. Overall I would say I would not repurchase this oil but if you have straighter thicker hair it might work better. For those of you who are looking for a hot oil treatment, there are nicer products out there in my opinion!
