Review : Double Effect V-Lift Mask Canola Honey by Guardian

here to review about the mask i got from guardian a week ago, which i managed to get at $2 for this two piece mask, well its actually $4.90 but since it was placed at the $2 bin with the other same type of masks (when its not supposed to be there) so the sale assistant gave me the $2 pricing instead of $4.90! what a grab right? such have take a few more pieces *typical singaporean mindset* haha ...

the mindset of "should have taken more since they put at the wrong place so pay only the wrong price so can save more" !! 

well, back to topic, this is the Double Effect V-Lift Mask Canola Honey by Guardian..

well, been quite curious about this hair vitamin so i decided to grab the smaller boxes by ellips. the small packaging box consist of 2 packs = 12 small capsules, about $3.90 at watsons, but you could actually get the 1 pack at $1.50 at those smaller beauty stores which is cheaper by 90cents if you buy 2 packs.

well, i got myself 3 different types, the purple, pink and brown. didnt get the bigger packaging one cause i wanted to test try the oil capsules first to see which work better.

actually its really quite easy to use this hair vitamins oil ...

all you need to do is wash your hair and on the lightly towel-dry hair, you can either peel the side of the capsule (which sometime if you peel fast, it will break open) or you can choose to use a pair of scissor and cut the tip of the capsule. pour the oil onto the palm and gently massage it on your hair and stay away from your scalp!! which i only apply it on my hair ends since i got an oily scalp, so yupps (:

      

thoughts after using:

by the way, i did finished up 1 pack each of the purple and the pink one, and currently trying out the brown one...

1. hair seem much tamed, after applying. i do feel an improved on my hair ends, it might still be frizzy but can see a positive change since i now focusing on my hair well-being.

2. the scents are really nice especially the purple and brown one, but personally i do not fancy the pink one, to me it reminds me of the scent of medicine, which is quite a turn off, but well, its a hair vitamin so it well for the hair, just like some who doesnt like the bitterness of chinese herbs ( just an example!! )

3. hair doesnt feel oily after applying it once it get absorb in, but the palm of hand will remain oily, so you need to keep massaging your hair till you feel less oily on your palm, but another way is to just wash you hand with water.

4. small in size, so its really a good idea of packaging for those who travel around and like to carry a few small ones instead of a bigger bottle. and once you finish up one capsule, all you need to do is just throw it away and you get space!

..

its not really that expensive as compare to other brands, so try it if you like to pamper your hair once in awhile :)

its just going to be a short review, since 

been quite a while since i try this brand Klorane, must say i do like the shampoo very much. managed to get the 200ml bottle from my sister, while some small sample to test before buying the shampoo. is good to test products before buying the bigger bottles which is quite expensive as compare to other brands.

well, Klorane is ..

Klorane Laboratories’ philosophy is based on a passion for plants and nature. The Phytofilière®, the only chain of plant expertise of its kind in the world, was born of this philosophy and guarantees high levels of quality, efficacy and safety.Plants are central to all Klorane Laboratories business, and are the reason why our products are so effective.

one good point is that they do not do animal testing! a brand that has a passion for plants, and well, its come with a range of plants to suit different needs to the different hair condition! my is oily scalp, so i tried the one with anti-dandruff, since dandruff is also caused by oily scalp.

Monthly Empties 01 November

finally, my first monthly empty for november!! somehow after reading so many empties post online, i really find it interesting to read them all the time, well, it really work as a motivation to finish up the products and clear space for future products!

what i mean is ...

basically, an empty post = overview of beauty products after they are being used up! 

..

so now my target for each monthly empty is to empty up at least 5 normal sized products.

1 normal sized product = 3 travel size or 5 samples/mask

that my rule for my empties! so at least when things are thrown, there will be space for new things to replace them :D
