L'Oreal Paris Miracle Hair Oil Treatment

Versatile Use
Extraordinary Moisture
Sumptuous Softness
Luxurious Shine
Light, Non-Greasy Finish

Loreal Paris Extraordinary Oil Miracle Hair Oil Treatment is a mouthful of words and a mouthful of uses. Certainly, this hair treatment is really one extraordinary oil as it has 6 Flower Extract Oil including Lotus, Tiare, Rose, Flax, Chamomile and Sunflower.

It is a very versatile product indeed as it has multiple uses such as
*Spa Treatment - restore, nourish and prep hair. Apply generous amount of oil in dry hair just before taking shower. Shampoo and conditioner follows.
*To Detangle Hair - After shower, towel dry hair and apply oil before blow drying to reduce tangle, protect hair from heat and speed drying time.
*Heat Protectant Before Styling- On dry hair, apply oil to protect hair from heat. This will also add luster to dull hair making it look shinier.
*Leave-In Mist - No need to buy a separate leave in mist as this oil could also be use as a light weight finish. Helps refresh hair with a subtle fragrance

I have sparse thin fine hair and this is perfect for the cool ber months. Perfect paired with Loreal Parish Shampoo and Conditioner.

The packaging is quite sophisticated looking but not that good. I mean I love that it has a pump for a head because you could control the amount of product you'll squeeze, less possibility of spillage and its very hygienic, but, the body makes me cringe every time I use it though because its made of glass. Its made of glass and it has oil in it. So I use my double-grip-extra-hold strength as my slippery hands might drop this precious miracle of a glass bottle. I wish they'll have it on an aluminum or plastic container instead, it would be safer for clumsy bad-hair-day girls, travel-friendly and it'll cut the weight, cut the cost and hence cut the prices too, making it more affordable. Other than that, all of about this oil is oh-so-good!

I would share this to my elbows, knees, knuckles and ankles too. ;) That is how versatile this oil is for me.

Thank you so much BDJ Box and Loreal Paris for including this full size to the November Elite Holiday Glam Extraordinaire - it really fits this miracle oil!

Empties September 2013

Most of my empties for this month consist of skincare products. Unlike my previous empties, I'll skip including products that were already introduced. Let's start off with

Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream - (that I got here!) a mouthful but effective way to lessen under eye wrinkles including and most especially premature wrinkles due to squinting and tugging... It gives huge amount of moisture on to my undereye bags and I see a bit difference although I only had this tiny little tube! I might consider buying the full size when the check comes in!

Stiefel's pectraBan60- that I raved about here.

Careline Lip and Cheek Tint- this was one of my summer favorites especially during our out-of-town trips be it to the beach or pool! A small dot on both cheeks is enough for half (if you're on to water sports, or just swimming) to a day's worth of blushing cheeks.

Dove Underarm Whitening in Original Scent - has vitamin e and f, and is an antiperspirant. The mild scent of this underarm roller can last all day if you'll stay in an air conditioned room.

SkinWhite Advanced Whitening Facial Cleanser - was my savoir whenever I'm too stubborn to wash my face before slumber. what I do to reduced stinging sensation when removing eye makeup was to let the soaked cotton pad stay on my eye a little while and then keep my eyes close a little longer until I felt that the alcohol already evaporated. To avoid dryness, I use my EverBilena Whitening Sunblock Cream during so-so days and Celeteque Cream or Anew Genics when I feel the need to boost things up a little bit.

Avon's Anew Genics - my mom and I were one of the first to try this "serum" from Avon. We immediately gave this a try and weve proven that the hype about this sensation of a cream - specifically this anti-aging cream - really has a base and not just exaggerated excitement! Its so smooth, it glides on leaving face instantly smooth. I also tried using this as a base primer for foundation and its not that bad. My mom loves to use this after shower as her moisturizer. She used to hate applying anything on her face (which is why she's severely dry) but finally gave in to this because of the "beautiful" scent as she described it.

Johnsons Baby Cologne Forever Mine (Green) - is my babe's original scent. I will certainly buy this again, just right after he finished our newly opened bottle of Johnsons Baby Cologne Morning Dew (violet) that my mom used to use on me when I was little! <3

Ponds Clear Balance Clear Solution Anti-Bacterial Facial Scrub with Herbal Clay - it is infused with neem plant - a traditional herbal plants that can be found here in our backyard hehehe - effectively removes dirt, oil, stubborn makeup and fights against my periodical acne. :)

Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil - that i talked about a few while back here.

That's it! I can't wait to unclogged my closets and drawers by emptying my hauls one bottle, tube, tub at a time! xx

Sesou Haul - All About Hair!

One of my major problems aside from my oily skin is my hair. Although I'm dandruff -free, it is as oily as an oil factory I can't live a day without washing it and yes, I recently have mild hair loss which means that my naturally thin hair is getting thinner. Oh my!

I decided to give my hair my full attention and show some organic all natural love! :D Here are the things I picked up for my hair at  Sesou!

OL'EO Hair Regrowth Treatment Shampoo

Good investment for prevention of falling hair! It has pure natural organic mineral scrub goodness that not just delay hair fall but prevents dandruff while thickening and strengthening the hair shafts!

Craving for Vanilla in a healthy way - that is how I describe my obsession with this gourmet skin care hair and body mist!

Vanilla & Co. Hair and Body Mist

I just love to lick and smell this yummy vanilla-watermelon bottle! Got mine for only Php235.00! This a cologne with a twist, it has aloe vera extract good for hair moisturization while leaving a hint of scent. What I do, specially when I'm out and about is that, I wash my hands first, or if not available, I use alcohol, hand sanitizer and then spray this on my clean fresh hands. :) One word: Yummy!

Take a peek on this Avoocado and Gugo Bark Intensive Hair Mask here.

My hair felt like it was fresh from salon - soft, smooth, shiny hair in a 30minute home magic! :D

Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil

I decided to make an in-depth post regarding this elixir bottle! *hint* So d the happy dance while waiting, alright?

What Sesou hair magic bottle did you bought? Share 'em!

Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation

As much as I love liquid foundation, I have too oily skin. So I only get to use them when I know I'll be stucked on an air conditioned room, or better yet, stucked in Baguio, which I'm not most of the time. I hunt for an oil free, water based foundation and at last I found

Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation

here are the swatches with flash and with out:

What I love about it is that it's water based - oil free, hence perfect match for my oil-factory glands! Alas, it is also a perfect match for sensitive skin because its hypoallergenic as well! I feels light and it has a matte finish, another perfect product for flash photography! Perfect on-the-go! But you just have to make sure you blend it fast because it dries fast and doesn't need to be set with powder. It's affordable for a decent product that could last for a whole day. :) If you have visible blemishes and acne marks, you should fill them out with concealer because this is not that good on hiding imperfections and although it has a limited number of shades, I guess most of Filipina skin would fit on the range. :)

What other brands of gel foundation would you recommend? :)
