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!

REVIEW: Goody styling and lifting comb kit

In the past I have used a wide tooth comb to brush my hair after its towel dry, however if you notice most hair stylists use fine combs! I read about this and found out that it gives added definition, especially to curly hair (perfect!). Hence I got this kit of combs. I have to say I love the 2 large ones because they detangle gently and give me that shine and definition. I am not to keen on the smallest one simply because my hair is quite thick. As advertised they are also good for styling hair. I would definitely recommend this purchase as the kit is cheap and cheerful :)

JULY FAVOURITES 2012

Here are my top 5 picks for the month of july!

Lush jungle conditioner bar - A gentle conditioner that leaves no residue and has a perfect fresh/exotic scent. I've had this for quite a while now and its still going strong.

Solait Kabuki brush - This is by far the most fluffy kabuki brush I have come across, great for a dusting of finishing powder. Inexpensive too!!

Parissa azulene oil - I use this as a post waxing oil and it really soothes down the redness and moisturises, without leaving any residue.

Avon cherry blossom daily hair refresher - Smells fresh and is a great product for styling second day hair. It is almost like a fragrance mist for your hair.

Rimmel shade adjusting blush in medium - My current favourite blush, a warm berry tone with a highlighting segment. Summer cheeks at best!

Bodyshop Buriti baby towel!

Hello!

Recently I have been enjoying going to the bodyshop as they have revamped their stores and partially their image. They have come out with quite a few goodies that are new! Having said that this towel is part of an older range of their products called 'Buriti Baby'. Now don't laugh but it is a line aimed for toddlers ;p however I have found they are gentle and perfect for baby soft skin. I bought this towel after reading a book about curly hair care, mentioning that it is better to use a microfibre towel for drying hair  since its far more gentle. What I really love is that it has a microfibre side but also a normal cotton side. You get the best of both worlds! Also has the cutest bird embroidery on one edge <3

Review: L'Occitaine Almond shower oil

So far this is my favourite L'occitaine find! It is a cleansing shower oil and leaves the softest post shower skin ever. I found it to be great after using a body scrub as it replenishes the exfoliated skin fantastically. I didn't like the scent too much in store but after using it I realised the smell blossoms after it comes in contact with water! Its a luxurious shower treat and I definitely recommend this to everyone :)

New Health Supplement Regime

Recently I started taking some other supplements alongside my vitamin C tabs, they are not medically related and I wanted to try them out to see if they helped my body in general. So I had a mini Iherb.com and Holland & Barrett trip...

Vitamin C chewy tablets
Sea kelp tablets
Natures plus papaya enzyme chewables

May - June 2012 Favourites

Hey guys seems like its been a while since I have uploaded a favourites post...but here it is in its full summer glory!! I have been loving these products in the build up to my favourite season...

Design Line Olive oil leave in conditioner - Smells clean and fresh, works well for when I want to leave my hair curly. The best part about it is its texture...smooth, creamy yet almost like a serum cream!

Clinique Chubby stick in Pudgy Peony - This product is as cute as its name, a lovely raspberry shade with a moisturising formula. Lovely even to put on without using a mirror.

Lush skin drink facial moisturiser - Fabulous for dry flaky skin! I especially enjoy it as a night cream, however definitely not for those of you who have oily skin types as it is a heavy duty moisturiser.

Lanes Health tea tree and witch hazel cream - MY FAVOURITE acne product up to date, it stings but clears up the redness by the time I wake up in the morning! LOVE IT.

ELF blushed and bronzing powder duo - lovely soft blush of a coral shade and perfectly blendable bronzer, a great kit for everyday and on the go application. Nice packaging too :)
