Askmewhats Reviews: L'oreal Elvive Shampoo and Conditioner

I have been an avid user of The Face Shop's Changpo Magic Straight Shampoo and Conditioner. I got a bit tired of going around different branches to look for it and wait for the stocks to arrive as this is quite saleable (Yup, always out of stock for approx $18.00 both shampoo and conditioner).

Since the L'oreal Elseve line came out to the market, I've been eyeing to try on the products but I always got scared to! Hahaha I'm a coward when it comes to hair products, as I had my hair gone bad story when I was younger because of wrong choice of shampoo.

I went to the Duty Free Shop again recently and I saw the L'oreal Elvive line. I like the packaging better and they've got more choices to choose from! hehehe So, I gave in and tried L'oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Shampoo together with the L'oreal Elvive Multi-Vitamine Conditioner. I wanted both to be from the same line but I kinda thought about getting the best of both worlds! Since I have Nutri-gloss from the shampoo, I might as well get more vitamins from the conditioner for my Hair! hahaha Good thinking? or not? hehehe

Anyhooooo...here's how the product looks like...oh yeah, both shampoo and conditioner combined price is cheaper compared to my previous one, both of this totaled around $8.50 !



I think it's safe for me to do a review now as I've been using this product for more than a month.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• both shampoo and conditioner smells super nice
• my hair is softer and tangle-free
• cheaper than my TFS brand
  

Cons

• I didn't see any "glossy" effect (well maybe I'm using both different lines?)
• at the end of the day, my hair kinda weighed down and doesn't have the body anymore (note: I'm in an air-conditioned room almost the whole day)

Overall
This isn't a bad product, I would say this is one of the better product in the market today. But if I compare this to my Changpo Magic Straight Shampoo and Conditioner, TFS Changpo still would top my list. Even my hubby said my hair looks better with the Changpo line :D

Will I repurchase?
I'll try their different line, they have more I believe hehehe Or I may go back to TFS Changpo line

How about you guys? What brand of shampoo and conditioner do you use? And are you loyal with it?

Reader's Corner: MAC 168 and SUESH Angled Brush

This is just a quick answer to a query of Ms. Shen from Kikay Pinay

Here's the MAC168 brush you've been eyeing for face contouring...



And here's the Suesh angled brush , there's a bit of difference with their appearances. Suesh angled brush is fluffier because it's not as compact as MAC 168, but for it's really soft bristles and affordable price, I would say Suesh brush was able to do it's purpose --- BORN TO CONTOUR hehehe



The Suesh Angled brush is available in their 16pcs set at Suesh website.

Hope this helps :)

5 Beauty Crimes I'm Super Guilty Of!

Thanks to Liz of Lizterati for tagging me...hahaha I thought I got away...

I'm not including the "not cleaning the brushes" as I think almost all of us beauty addicts are guilty of that once or twice or more in our lives!

1. I love buying cosmetics! And I don't use them all! The worst? I always tend to use the newer ones and leave the older ones in VAIN :P

2. I don't drink much water as well, my skin are sooo dry and I'm still lazy to drink water :( Good thing I have a hubby who constantly reminds me to drink water!

3. I know I should put on lotion EVERY MORNING AND EVENING due to severe dryness of my skin, but I skip on it on those lazy mornings or nights.

4. Even though a certain product/brand works well for me, I tend to be disloyal due to my "bad case of curiosity" and buy on other brandsA just to TRY, and you know what the ending would be --- WASTE OF MOOLAH!

5. I'm allergic to pet hairs, but I still won't give up my 3 Pomeranian, I don't care if I have to scratch here and there from time to time, I'm NOT GIVING UP! *snnniiffff*

Anyone can be tagged and feel free to tell me what your beauty crimes are!!!
