August is almost over (with about a week left) but here's a list of the products I've managed to complete! Generally it's very difficult for me to finish a lot of products, probably because I like to switch it up now and again. For makeup especially, I've found that whenever I do Project Pans, they take months to complete. I honestly don't know how some people can blaze through so many products within a month, and use up about 15-20 products every month. How is that possible?
Anyway, most of the products are hair care products, which I have been paying special attention to. My bathroom space has really been clogged up, so it's a relief to be clearing some of these things away.
Clockwise from top left: Essential Ultra Honey and Shea Butter Hair Mask (pink), Loreal Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Hair Mask, LUX Super Rich Hydro-Nourishing Conditioner, Clear Dry Scalp and Itch Control Shampoo (travel-size), Soap and Glory Scrub Em and Leave Em Body Buff (travel size).
1. Essential Ultra Honey and Shea Butter Hair Mask (pink) - I have not done a full review of this product. Essential's products are really eye-catching and cute (I never know whether to buy the pink one or orange one, and can debate on this for ages). But I find that their products tend to fall below my expectations. Maybe because they paid top dollar for their advertising that I had a lot of hopes and expectations for them. The smell of the product is lovely, the texture is also nice and smooth, but I found I had to use loads and loads at a single time. Of course this is cheap so I'm not that bothered, but I still find that it didn't moisturize as well as I hoped it would. But it did give a nice bounce and shine to my hair. If you have shorter hair or fine hair, this will probably work very nicely for you. But I have limp and heavy hair, and it doesn't help too much. I am very curious to try out the orange hair mask or treatment though.
2. Loreal Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Hair Mask - I have raved about this in a post here, so if you're interested, go click there. I love it so much that I have already bought a replacement, this time for S$7.50 in a beauty shop. Try not to go to large stores for this, you can find them in small beauty shops or Malay Jamu shops at a cheaper price. I love this very much but one thing to note is that it does weigh down my hair, and it also can make my hair oily at a faster rate.
3. LUX Super Rich Hydro-Nourishing Conditioner - This is another product that I have not done a full review on, but this is a product that I hate. it would have been completely fine, except that I feel that after using it, my hair looks and feels thinner. I don't have any explanation for this, but I have how thin my hair looks and feels after washing. Other than that, it is textbook-perfect. It does not have a smell, it has a lightweight texture, it rinses out nicely without leaving residue behind and it is an all-around great conditioner. But I would not repurchase this again.
4. Clear Dry Scalp and Itch Control Shampoo - I have also reviewed this product here. Because this was not suited to my hair, I would not get this again. I have also explained about how the Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo works for me while this shampoo doesn't. If you have a different scalp or hair condition, perhaps you might like this product better than I did.
5. Soap and Glory Scrub Em and Leave Em Body Buff - I've also done a review on this body scrub here. While I have only the travel-size version, I think it would be quite worth it to get the full-size next time, and use it as a weekly scrub to exfoliate dead skin cells. It's a great product for a pampering spa experience, without actually going to the spa.
So that's it so far! If I somehow manage to complete more products, I shall add them on to this list. Some of these products are really great, some not so, but I sure hope the reviews have helped you on your beauty journey!
