Carousels and Couture

TLDR Review: Definitely buy them. So worth it. If you want soft and smooth hair, this is for you. BUT if you want voluminous hair, this might not be for you because this is not meant to give you volume. Disclaimer: I have Asian hair.  Essential is most famous for targeting the cuticles of the last 15cm of our hair, because that's where our hair is the driest and needs the most moisture. Ever since Kao came out with the Essential Nuance Airy and Rich Premier (in Pink and orange), I have been obsessed with their hair masks. Not only are they affordable, they're really good. Not to mention they come in really cute jars! But I wasn't so interested in the rest of their hair products: the shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment. Now Essential has come up with another range! The Purely Smooth range targets damaged and rough hair and gives a light smooth finish. And of course, this range also targets the last 15cm of our hair, making sure it is smoother and tangle-free.

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 si...

  I bought the Clear Dry Scalp and Itch Control Shampoo together with the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo . And I've finally finished the bottle so I thought it'll be great to do a review on it. I was less impressed with this shampoo. Firstly, I have an oily scalp not a dry scalp, so this wasn't exactly suitable for me. I do have an itchy scalp though, so I felt that I wanted to try this out and see if it's good for my scalp. I bought the travel-sized version, so that I can see whether it works well for me before I purchase the retail sized version. Clear is quite a famous haircare brand in most countries. They've sponsored Lotus Renault in F1 2012, which boasts Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean as their drivers. Apparently, this shampoo has an anti-itch formula to reduce scalp from itch and dryness from first wash. It does not tangle my hair, and it lathers well. I also do find that my scalp is less itchy after using this product. It also does not dry...

After the review on the Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo , I realized that I hadn't done a review on the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo, that I got and finished some time ago. As I mentioned in the last post, I was worried about the amount of hair fall I've been experiencing, and some thinning area around my fringe. So I've been taking a close look at the anti-hair fall shampoos that are available in the market. I got the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo in a travel size. I also got the Clear Women Dry Scalp and Itch Control Shampoo too. Considering that Clear has launched a new formula, I wanted to make sure I liked it before I purchased a retail size version. Also, a travel size sure makes it easy to tog along to the gym whenever I feel like it. Clear is quite a famous haircare brand.They've sponsored Lotus Renault in F1 2012, which boasts Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean as their drivers. Bet Kimi's never had dandruff before! An...

I have been worried about hair fall lately. A lot of hair ends up on the shower floor and I am beginning to see my hair thinning, especially the fringe. So I've been on a lookout for anti-hair fall shampoos and hair therapy products. But before I buy anything, I will always research extensively, even if it is just a drugstore product. I read some glowing reviews on the Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo and got really excited when I saw it on sale at a beauty shop. I've seen the brand Himalaya around, but I rarely used it. The only time I've ever tried the brand was a body lotion that I used as a hand cream and for my elbows. It was alright, but nothing outstanding about it. So when I got this shampoo i was quite excited to try it because every review I read was a good one. It is a 2-in-1 formula that helps to nourish the roots and strengthen weakened hair. Apparently, it is also safe to use on colored or permed hair, which means that it is a gentle shampoo. I...
