L'oreal Royal Jelly 1 Minute Treatment Mask for dry hair Review

So for a period of time I was looking for good conditioners because I really want my old hair back. My hair used to be beautiful, not even exaggerating. But due to too much hair dying my hair is as dry as grass now. 

I spoke to my friend Karmun about hair products a while back (being typical girls), and she mentioned that conditioners doesn't work for her anymore, she uses hair masks as a conditioner instead. Another friend, Jess Lee also said the same thing. 

So I decided to try this L'oreal Royal Jelly 1 Minute Treatment Mask for dry hair. I picked this because they had a small packaging like this which I thought is great, at least if it doesn't work out for my hair, or if I dislike it it wont go to waste since there's only 5 packets for RM10+

My Experience

The texture is sticky cream based that's yellow in colour. The first time I used this I thought WOW this thing actually works! My hair that was 90% damaged reduced to 85%. So I thought cool if I continue using this probably my hair would go back to normal.

BUT the second time I used it, no difference, third time, no difference, after 1 week, still no difference. So yeah was disappointed about that part. It only worked the first time.

Pros:

• Work wonders the first time

Cons

• Only work wonders the first time
• After using for a week plus, no more effect
• Not exactly very cheap
• Scent isnt very nice

Conclusion

Rate: 1.5/5

Repurchase: Definitely No.

Schwarzkopf Extra Care Hair Repair Hydro Collagen Conditioner Review

For a period of time I was crazy over Schwarzkopf products because of the Bonacure range. When I saw their products in drug stores I went all crazy! I did not try their shampoos because I've got oily scalp so I can't use shampoo for hair repair and stuff.

The Product
Contains collagen and hyaluronan. Helps restore moisture balance for softer, shinier hair.

My Experience
The texture of this product is like any other conditioner but thicker than Sunsilk. During application of this product, it felt like I needed to use more than usual to condition my hair. 

At first I thought maybe because this conditioner is really getting into my hair unlike other conditioners that usually conditions the outside layer only. The texture felt a little waxy to me I believe it's due to the liquid keratin? Maybe?

After rinsing, hair does not feel any much smoother, slightly untangled cause I untangled them while using the conditioner. My hair still looked and felt dry.

Pros

• Affordable

Cons

• Need to use more than usual
• Feels waxy
• Does not restore my hair moisture

Conclusion

Rate: 2.8/5

Repurchase: No

It is not a terrible conditioner, but for the price you pay, there's definitely better ones out there and some

are even cheaper.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer for Combination Skin

When my previous moisturizer did not please my skin, I decided to get another one. Yeap it was that bad till my skin could not take it and bought this Neutrogena before finishing my old one.

Neutrogena has been around for quite some time, I remember when I was 15 my friend was using this brand. As years go by I noticed Neutrogena is coming up with more and more range for different skin types in which is great!

So why did I choose this product out of the rest? Firstly because I wanted a proper moisturizer that can provide moisture to my skin, unlike those gel type of moisturizer. Although I have super oily skin, it is necessary for me to use moisturizer every day and night. 

The reason is because every time after I wash my face, my face would feel dry, and if I do not put any moisturizer my face will naturally produce more oil to make up for the dryness. Okay I should stop blabbing here and get on with the review. :)

The Product

Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer for combination skin is proven clinically to normalize combination skin. To cut the sentence short, control oily areas and provide more moisture at dry areas. 

The product is light weight, non-greasy, hence moisturizing the skin without leaving the oily and greasy residue.

Contains MICROSPONGE that would absorb oil - Clinically Proven

Will not clog pores, alcohol free, allergy tested and fragrance free.

My Experience

I used this product for about a month plus now and so far it did not cause any irritation or breakouts for my skin. (I have oily skin with huge pores)

What I want from a moisturizer is to moisturize my skin but at the same time does not leave any sticky or greasy feeling. Some people may prefer gel based kind of moisturizer, but for me the previous gel based product that I used ended making my skin dry and unhealthy looking. 

This product was able to leave my skin feeling fresh and moisturized without any greasy residue.

My skin feels satisfied when it is properly pampered and moisturized, especially after using a Facial Scrub. It is necessary to use a moisturizer especially after using a facial scrub because scrubs are extra drying compared to our daily facial cleanser. 

However, I was not used to the scent of this product. It stated no fragrance, before this I used to use products that contain fragrance, so a change from that took a while for me to get used to.

Sometimes this product makes my face feel a little sticky, so on days when I feel my skin does not need as much as moisture I would pump a small pump, spread the moisturizer on my fingers and tap the moisturizer on my skin instead of the usual application. 

Pros

• Makes my skin feel pampered and moisturized
• Affordable, only RM15+ for a 118ml bottle. 
• No irritation to my skin

Cons

• Not used to the scent at first, but won't be an issue after a while
• Sometimes leave skin feel a little sticky

Conclusion

Rate: 3.8/5

Repurchase: Maybe (It is good but not the best, planning to try out other moisturizers in the market)
