REVIEW: Mise En Scene Smooth and Silky Moisture Treatment

The weather has been so cold lately, I can definitely say its December. I've also been MIA because I've been feeling under the weather but now I'm back with another review. This has been sitting in my drafts for over a year, as I have had this product for a while but I have been using it for the last couple of days and so I am now here with a review.

This is a Korean product from a brand called Mise En Scene. I've heard of this brand already so when I saw this in Myeongdong, I instantly bought it because I knew it was a good brand. This particular product is called Mise En Scene Smooth & Silky Moisture Hair Treatment.

Review: Luxe Organix Premium Keratin 10-in-1 Hair Elixir

My hair hasn't been healthy for the past few months, and I blame it on my constant need to dye and color and bleach my hair every month, if I could. I've also tried a lot of hair products to at least make it look healthy for a day, but I don't know. Maybe the only way to have healthy hair again is to wait for new virgin hair to grow and not abuse it, again.

Anyways today I will be reviewing this hair keratin from Luxe Organix. Its called the Premium Keratin 10-in-1 Hair Elixir. Such a long name for a product huh. I really thought this was liquid of some sort, like those oil based hair polish, but when I tried it, I was shocked to see its actually sort of like a moisturiser, or a lotion - but for the hair. Is it effective? Read more to find out!

Recent Purchases from Luxe Organix

Hi guys. Today I'll be sharing my recent purchases from Luxe Organix. I've been a fan of the brand for a while and am using some of their products already. Because of the good experience I've had with the brand, I decided to purchase other products from them which I'll be sharing below.

Purchased everything from Shopee

Hair Care Haul and New Hair Color

Hi everyone! Today I'll be sharing my most recent purchases from Watsons which mainly focuses on hair care. I recently dyed my hair pink/red with pink highlights and its been a week, however I think the color is fading fast because of the hair products that I'm using. So today I went to Watsons and got myself some shampoo and conditioner for colored hair. I hope it works well for me so that the color can last for a bit longer as this hair was a bit expensive to have haha.

Here's a photo of my hair after the salon treatment, and a slow-mo video taken by the hair dresser. it looks really pretty here and I plan to add some purple shades to my hair maybe next month.

Pink with Pink Highlights

Going back to my purchases, here's a sneak peek of what I got. It was also a good time since Watsons was having a sale. I was hesitant at first to be out and about during a mall sale because of Covid but I made sure I was distancing myself from others, and I went home immediately after the purchase. 

The first one would be this bottle of Tresemme Color Radiance Shampoo. This was recommended by the hair dresser so I was glad to see it at Watsons. To be honest, I am a bit hesitant about this brand as I was able to buy a shampoo from them before and it gave me dandruff. It was a different variant though, not this one, so I really hope this works for me. I was torn between this and the one from Palmolive, but Tresemme was on Buy 1 Get 1 deal, and I'm cheap so..

I was looking for a conditioner from Luxe Organix as I am loving their brand, however I couldn't find anything for color treated hair. I saw this one bottle from Pantene on my way to the cashier and since I've tried Pantene before and their 3 Minute Miracle variants are also good, I decided to go for this conditioner instead.

Now I know this isn't for the hair but I've been trying to lighten my skin a bit and when I saw that this was on sale, I immediately grabbed one big bottle of A Bonne Whitening Lotion. I've been using their salt spa (on and off because I'm lazy haha) and I really like how it makes the skin smooth after, so I have high hopes for this lotion. I'll post a review next month to see if it is worth it.

And there you have it! It feels good to go and shop at Watsons again as I haven't been there for a while due to Covid and quarantine. I really wish things will go back to how it was before so that we can all enjoy our lives again :(

Keep safe everyone!

Naturals by Watson's: Argan Oil Hair Care Products

NOTE: This isnt a full review, but more of a first impression. Will update this post after a few weeks to see if there are any notable changes and to also give a final conclusion about the product.

Finally completed my hair care set today. I havent been coloring my hair for months now and I'm so proud of being able to control myself haha. Now I'm all about hair care and making sure that it is fixed before its too late. Ive been hearing a lot of good things about Argan Oil for tha hair and decided to finally buy a set of hair care products to see if it will be better.

I found these product from my local Watson's. From the line Naturals by Watson's, I bought the Argan Oil variant for the Shampoo, Hair Mask and Conditioner. All three products were on sale so I did save a few 

L-R: Argan Oil Shampoo Php 159, Argan Oil Hair Mask Php 149, Argan Oil Conditioner Php 149

This is the product that I bought first, so I have been using it for a week or two maybe. It comes in a decent size of 490 ml which is okay for its price point. It really smells good and after effect is also good for me so far. I have been suffering with frizzy hair after arriving at work due to the wind on my travel time but lately I find my hair easier to manage even with the wind blowing. It makes my hair softer and easier to comb as well. 

I was hesitant to buy this product because its just a hair mask and I already have a conditioner but decided to just buy it altogether because sale haha. This is set to be used a few times per week only, not daily so maybe its a treatment of some sort. This bottle just contains 200 ml, which is too little for me but if it inst used daily then I guess it should be fine. Smell is also good, and just like the shampoo my hair felt rough after washing with water. When my hair dried properly, my hair felt a bit smooth and soft to touch which is a good thing. Hopefully it will really treat my hair and fix the damage coloring for years has done.

I only started using this shampoo today and the smell is good. It comes in a big sized pump bottle, having 490 ml of product which isn't bad considering the cost. It bubbles easily too, but after washing away I feel like my hair is coarse to touch. I've seen similar after effects to other shampoo brands so it doesn't really bother me.

This is a pic of my hair today, which I will put for reference to see how my hair is before using the item. Its not as bad as before as I already cut my hair but it still feels dry and damaged to me. I've been touching my hair and it does feel soft at times but you can still feel the coarse texture and I'm really hoping these products will do wonders for me.

August Haul: Hair Protect Products

I have been saving for months now and I try as much as I can to avoid buying anything not really important (i.e. korean products haha) but this time, I felt like I needed to do this because I haven't been taking care of my hair lately.

I used to dye my hair every month, and the ends are really gross. I have been trimming it lately and I dont reckon I've dyed it this year (I am so proud of myself!). I did get a few hair cuts this year and the length is nowhere near as to how it was before. I did get a rebond from a Korean Salon a month ago and thats it so far. So today I did some shopping and bought a few stuff that I am interested to use to see if it will sort of help fix my hair, or at least make it look healthy again.

L-R: Vitress Hair Polish Sun Protect, Pantene PRO-V Summer Rescue Shampoo, Pantene PRO-V Summer Rescue 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner

I have used Vitress before but its the other hair product, the oily one. I think this one is the cream type. There were lots of variant for this item but I chose the sun protect one mainly because I go to work daily at noon and that's when the sun is shining the most so I am hoping this will act as a sunblock, only this time its for my hair.

When the 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner came out, there was a lot of hype about it being very good. I did try it before but never really got the chance to use it for a long time. This time, its the Summer Rescue variant as well and because I'm looking for sun protection this time, this will really be a good match with the shampoo I picked up as well. 

I've tried Pantene shampoo before, but I have a habit of changing from one brand to another (damn adverts on TV). Im not so sure if this is a new product but the Summer Rescue variant caught my attention so I picked it up. Maybe this is for those sun damaged hair due to the sun and the beach? I am excited to test this one out and see if it will make any difference. Im currently using Dove (shampoo) and I dont think its working as my hair feels dry and coarse so I am really hoping for the best.

To be honest, I'm not really expecting my hair to go back to how shiny and healthy it was from way back high-school (hello long black hair lol) but at least I would love to lose the split ends as well as make my hair look healthy again. My hair tends to be soooo dry so I am hoping to revive it before I lose my hair haha. Here's to hoping then. Product reviews soon!

Review: Vanart Cream Rinse

Hello~ Today's post will be a product review of something that I have used before. Its called Vanart Cream Rinse. I got it on sale from a local mall for only $1. Although I know nothing about this product, since it was cheap that's why I decided to buy it.

Product Description

• Manageable
• Ideal For The Entire Family
• The Most Traditional and Famous Rinse In Mexico. Leaves Hair Manageable With A Healthy and Radiant Appearance.
• Made In Mexico

Funny thing is, you see I actually managed to convince my mother to pick this up because we desperately need a bottle of shampoo, and since we were in a hurry we couldn't be bothered to roam around. And that's when I saw this product on the International Section, and I grabbed it instantly since they labeled it as shampoo. So when my brother used this, he was wondering as to why it doesn't produce bubble like usual shampoos. And I was like telling him that maybe something is wrong with his hair haha but turns out that this cream rinse works basically as a conditioner lol.

Instructions on how to use are written at the back but he didn't bother reading :p

How to Use

1. After Shampooing, Remove Excess Water. 
2. Apply Vanart Rinse. 
3. Massage Gently and Wait 60 Seconds.
4. Rinse Thoroughly With Warm Water

It doesn't come in a pump bottle, so I have to press and shake for the cream to come out. Its pinkish in shade and isnt sticky, nor is it too liquid-ish. Its also easy to apply on the hair.

After using it my hair looks better and is more manageable than when I use shampoo alone. And since its just a conditioner, the result is of course expected. Repurchase? Well if it goes on sale again for a dollar, why not? After all a $1 conditioner in a big bottle like this isn't something you see on the store everyday. But since its not available locally, then I might just settle for something that is easy to find.
