Review: Cream Silk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioner in Fresh and Bouncy

Hello September! Now that it's cold and breezy my hair doesn't get too greasy anymore as compared in the summer. It's not a big secret that I am a big fan of Cream Silk, during Lazada's sale I got myself 5 big bottles of Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue! How crazy is that? Next time I'll get a one year supply if I have the funds LOL. Anyway so I ran out of my favorite conditioner and just in time, I saw a new commercial which was the Cream Silk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioner in Fresh and Bouncy which is for limp and flat hair. At first, I wasn't even aware of the variant, all I know is this new variant is baby pink!

What is it? 

Cream Silk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioner in Fresh and Bouncy for limp and flat hair. 

Cream Silk's lightest and freshest conditioning system yet. Infused with the power and Hydracollagen Technology, It gets instantly absorbed to feel hydrated and quench dryness.  

3 Main Points:

Water-based

Non-greasy

Easy-Rinse

Directions:

After shampoo massage through hair from mid to tip. Rinse well after 1 minute. For best results use every day.

Packaging
I will be honest in saying that the reason why I purchase this was because of the packaging's color. Call me shallow on this matter but pink plays a big part in my decisions haha.

The flip cap opening is typical for the Cream Silk conditioners. Too bad because I got a defective one which won't close and the product was a mess when I got it from the plastic bag.

Experience
So like I've mentioned I didn't even know I was buying a variant for limp and flat hair, my hair is neither very oily though so I think I am somewhere in between those lines. My hair as you all know is chemically treated and usually dry. For this line, Cream Silk has this in Fresh and Hydrated variant for Oily and Greasy hair. This one, on the other hand, is a baby blue bottle.

The first impression is that it smells very feminine although I like my Triple Keratin Rescue scent more. That can just be me though, this one also smells nice but to each is own. The conditioner itself is white and more on the watery side. If this is some other brand I will think that it won't moisturize my hair at all because it seemed so light. The formula is water-based true to their claims and it's very easy to spread on my hair strands. Rinsing the conditioner is also quick and easy due to the easy rinse formula and I've only left it for a minute. Good on the days where you are in a hurry and it won't leave a residue as it's non-greasy. On weekends I like to let it stay longer  on my hair.

True enough, my hair is bouncy after it air-dried. My hair has the natural volume so I can't say it's volumized but it's light and fragrant. I want to believe the intense hydration because my hair doesn't feel dry to touch now.

How much and where to buy?

P228.75 for 300ml in Puregold Supermarket. You can also snag a bottle in Watsons or leading supermarkets nationwide.

What I love

Water-based which makes it a conditioner that will weigh the hair down

My hair is bouncy but still light

Hair is soft to touch and not dry

Non-greasy formula

Easy rinse which means it'll save me water

Perfect conditioner to use when in a hurry

Affordable!

Product is available almost anywhere

What I don't

Nothing I can mention

Will I repurchase? 
I might try the blue one next time!

Overall~ 
Although I really really love the Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue, I must say that their new line Cream Silk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioner in Fresh and Bouncy is also true to their claims. I was able to hydrate my hair in as fast as 1 minute and I couldn't be any happier. Price is also a big thumbs up of course. Overall, I recommend you guys to try this conditioner.

Review: EPSA Brazilian Blowout Keratin Treatment

Heavy rains everyday! As you can see I am trying my best to be active my social media accounts lately. This post is a bit of a throwback, I already finish this stuff! We are more on hair care ladies and gents as I seldom do makeup nowadays. I am mostly at home because I started  my homebased job back in June. Okay so to start, our review for today is for EPSA Brazilian Blowout Keratin Treatment. I have gotten this for my heavily bleached hair. I needed to get some shine even though my hair is real dry. I don't really cut my hair but I'm fond of changing colors.

What is it? 
EPSA Brazilian Keratin Blow Out Treatment is an innovative Solution to a healthier and smoother hair. Frizz-free and Tangle-free for normal, colored, treated, rebonded or bleached hair, making it more manageable and straighter.

One set of EPSA Brazilian Blowout comes in 3 bottles - shampoo, keratin treatment and after treatment conditioner.

Packaging
They are in big brown plastic easy to pump bottles.

Experience
So based on instructions:
Shampoo hair using #1 EPSA Clarifying Shampoo bottle to open the cuticle of the hair for optimal results.
👒 Wash hair twice for all hair types.
👒 Towel dry hair leaving enough moisture.
👒 Section hair into four parts. (wearing of gloves is important).

Let us start with EPSA clarifying shampoo. I am already aware that this will be drying as this type of shampoo cuts through product buildup and oils to leave your hair squeaky clean. Read more: what is clarifying shampoo? The consistency is very thin, and I have no complaints on the smell. Given that my hair is bleached I tried to use as little of this  product as much as possible.

Next is the EPSA Keratin Blowout:
👒 Apply #2 EpSA Keratin Blow Out bottle into hair using brush, 1/8 inch away from scalp to the ends.
👒 Do not over-saturate, remove excess product using a fine tooth comb.
👒 Do not rinse, blow dry the hair up to 100% dry using a round brush.
👒 After blow drying the product on the hair.
👒 Proceed with ironing.
👒 Using a flat iron with 230°c, start at the nape of the neck taking 1-2 inch sections (Paper thin sections).
👒 Slowly move iron from root to ends.
👒 Pass over each section 3-4 times for sensitized hair or 4-8 times for resistant / virgin hair.
👒 After ironing the hair, rinse hair with water and apply #3 EpSA Conditioning Cream bottle then rinse thoroughly. 
👒 Towel dry hair then final blow dry up to 100% dry before ironing again (optional).

The keratin treatment smells like chemical. I literally had my eyes crying because of the scent lingers even when I have already covered my head with the shower cap. While ironing I felt like my strands are being drier with each pass of iron.

Lastly will be the conditioner. The conditioner is very thin as well. I doubt that it will do anything to my dry strands. So here is my before and after photo. I actually managed to finish this set and I must say nothing changed with my hair condition.

How much and where to buy?
P1300 via Shopee

What I love

• I like how straight my hair looks after the process and it stays that way for 3 days even when I wash it.

What I don't

• The whole treatment is a tedious task.
• I felt my hair became drier after the whole process
• Didn't gave any shine 
• The keratin treatment smells like very bad chemical, and it tears me up

Will I repurchase? 
No.

Overall~ 
I don't really feel that EPSA Brazilian Blowout Keratin Treatment did any wonderful for my hair as the effect was only temporary. The process is also very tedious and the effect is just mediocre. I also don't like the fact that I am tearing up every time I use it. Sadly this hair care product is not for me, I might try have another brazilian treatment but the next time, I will go to the salon.

Review: Human Heart Nature Acne Defense Solution Gel

Hello lovelies! Don't you just love binge watching kdrama every now and then? I can't praise enough how immaculate their actors and actress skin is. Being born with acne prone skin I seldom experience clear complexion. Maybe there are good days but there are more breakouts than I can ever imagine! And so, I am always on the lookout for acne gels. I tend to jump from one brand to another because I have noticed that after a while, my skin gets used to the product and it stops on being effective on me. I found Human Heart Nature Acne Defense Solution Gel which seems promising. It's offered by a really good local brand Human heart nature. They vouch for natural and local sourced ingredients. What is there not to love? I have been dying to try their mineral makeup, I'll maybe buy one when I finish my stash.

What is it? 
Human Heart Nature Acne Defense Solution Gel
Clear skin without the risk
Get clearer-looking skin without the harmful side effects of chemical treatments. This potent blend of tea tree oil and pimple-fighting actives penetrates the skin to help crack down on breakouts and dry out blemishes.

Fewer pimples in 7 days*
In an independent 7-day clinical trial, fewer pimples were observed on 76% of Acne Defense Solution Gel users compared with only 26% of Popular Brand B users and 29% of popular Brand P users.

*2-week independent clinical study on users of Human Nature Acne Defense Solution Gel and users of popular chemical acne treatment brands

Be acne-free in three!
Step 1: Cleanse your face with Acne Defense Facial Wash.
Step 2: Apply Acne Defense Face Toner using gentle swipes

source: Human Heart Nature

Packaging
The packaging is sanitary. It offers an easy to press top.

Experience
The acne gel indeed smells like tea tree and smells soothing for me. I dab this on my zits and it doesn't sting. I always make sure to apply Human Heart Nature Acne Defense Solution Gel whenever I get breakouts and I noticed that it minimizes the acne after 2 days. It quickly diminishes the bump afterwards and I really like how it doesn't leave dark marks. It's like I never had acne at all.

I've tried other acne gels in the market before but it leaves dry patches and dark marks. This on the other hand is a winner on both categories. 
How much and where to buy?
P200 in Human Heart Nature stores. Trinoma Malls offers their product already!

What I love

• It minimizes my pimples in as fast as 1-2 days
• It doesn't sting as much as chemically laden anti-acne skincare
• It didn't leave dark marks
• It's very affordable

What I don't
Nothing I can mention

Will I repurchase? 
YES. This is my beauty staple now.

Overall~ 
 Human Heart Nature Acne Defense Solution Gel just simple works. It is on sale for P200 but only you can get it for P160 from authorized sellers in Shopee.

What is your favorite anti-acne product?

DIY Pink Hair

Hello August! It's raining hard I know, but don't you love the cold weather? Less aircon and less electric bill. Just want to hop on real quick to share what am I up to these days.

DIY PINK HAIR
Yes I finally finished a VLOG on how I achieved my DIY Pink Hair. It's affordable and very easy. You can actually do the same method to get lavender, peach, mint etc! As long as your hair is blonde, much better if platinum then the trick will work.

Anyone who likes DIY will have lots of fun with colors. There is no limit to this method. Come and watch my very first video using DIY pink hair conditioner! Sorry if I came like very tense and nervous haha. I'll see if I get used to it.

I have a few ideas on what to post next, mostly about beauty, skincare, hair care, maybe music and a bit of travel. Any questions just comment down below!
