L’Oreal- Absolut repair hair masque (review)

Quickview

Repairing masque for very damaged hair

Price: Rs 550 (200ml)

Claims: Repairs and nourishes the devitalized hair fiber. Hair is left revitalized, soft and shiny.

L’Oreal absolute repair hair masque comes in tub like most hair masques. The consistency of the masque is really thick. It has neofibrine  which is a patented invention of loreal. Neofibrine has been described as a unique combination of Bio-Mimetic Ceramide , natural wax, shine perfecting agent and a UV filter for hair. My hair gets damaged by heat styling pretty fast, so I bought this hair masque as it is for very damaged hair. This product is also advised for chemically treated hair.  This product is from the serie expert range, which as we all know is a bit pricy. Thus I always do my research work pretty well before buying something from this range, but I was absolutely glad to have bought this product. It has to be massaged into shampooed and towel dried hair. Leave it for two to three minutes, and rinse thoroughly. You can try leaving it for ten minutes and giving your self a hot towel treatment. I use it every alternative time I shampoo my hair.

Pros: Hair instantly feels softer, looks shinier and healthier.

               It smells great too!!

              It is mentioned on the tub that it has a UV filter for hair . That is a definite plus point.

              The tub lasts for around 4 to 5 months.

 (I shampoo my hair every second day and apply the hair masque every alternative time I shampoo that means once in every four to five days. And I am not kidding the last tub I had lasted me for six months. Then if you think about it the price does not seem that much.)

Cons:  weighs down hair.

          I have got fine hair, still it doesn’t bother me that much. But my friends have                

          complained that it  does make hair a bit heavy.

My rating : 4/5

Paisa Vasool: Yes

Would I buy again: Yes

My friends whose hair has been fried by straightening and rebounding have been suggested to use this product by hair stylists. I do believe it makes the hair stronger. All in all this is a great hair treatment for damaged hair. 

The Body Shop- Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist (review)

Quick view

Price: Rs 645 (100ml)

Spritz-on radiance with the delightful Japanese Cherry Blossom scent

Pros:

The fragrance is sweet and floral but very different. Exotic. Romantic. Very feminine.

The cute bottle is little and made of hard plastic ,easy to carry around and seems  durable.

Cons:

Does not last that long.

Very light. I have to wear lot of it.

My rating : 3.5/5

Paisa Vasool: Yes

Would I buy again: ummm.. no.. I would like to explore more fragrances. Besides it a bit too much on the sweet and floral side for me.

I thought of buying a body mist with nothing particular in mind, just wanted it to be something fresh. I bought this from a beauty shop and not any specific bodyshop outlet, so I had a lot of brands to choose from. But I have always had a little soft corner for bodyshop products, right from the time I was in my home town where bodyshop products are not even available, I used to drool over them while leafing through cosmos. TBS products give me a luxurious kind of feeling.

I had three bodyshop fragrances to choose from. I had heard a lot about how awesome TBS Japanese cherry blossom line is, so I went with this one.  And I am LOVING it!! I spray the body mist directly on my skin, which I never do with perfumes, and it instantly makes me feel cool and fresh. I even carry it around with me and squirt a little bit more on me whenever I need to feel extra fresh. J.
