Product Review: Zenutrients Tea Tree Shampoo + Conditioner

Just this summer I have developed a serious scalp problem. It became very dry and I noticed that my scalp is flaking. It's not itchy, but I don't feel comfortable with the flakes sticking out of my hair, especially if they are quite large in size, compared to dandruff. Since I have no money to go to a derma clinic, I tried searching the internet for home remedies that could cure my scalp problem. According to most articles that I've read, tea tree oil is one of the best oils to use for flaking scalps because it moisturizes the scalp and combats the fungi that causes the flaking. I tried searching in malls for shampoos that have tea tree oil but sadly I haven't seen anything. I went to organic shops and I saw that they have tea tree shampoos, conditioners, and oils, but it was very expensive so I had to back out.

Last Saturday, we went to Festival Supermall for us (me and my family) to hang-out. I saw this stall that sells organic products. I checked out their products and saw that they have tea tree shampoo and conditioner. I asked for the price and knowing that it was affordable, I bought one bottle of their tea tree shampoo and conditioner. This product is made by "Zenutrients", and in the label you can see their product name, product description, and everything you need to know about each bottle. Let me give you some photos:

These are the products that I've bought, Zenutrients Scalp Care Shampoo and Scalp Treatment Conditioner. At the lower part of the label you could see there the product description which says "Soothes the scalp for dandruff free and stronger, shinier, healthier-looking hair", and the size of the bottle. The shampoo is 250mL and the conditioner is 200mL.

Now this one is the back part of the bottles where you can see the instructions for use, the ingredients, the company address, and the size of the bottle. (The label sticker is already peeling because it got wet when I used it)

The first time I used this combo, I noticed that my hair became really smooth, as in REALLY SMOOTH. I waited for my hair and scalp to be completely dry to check if it worked out on my scalp, and guess what? It did! I cannot say that it completely removed the dryness and flaking in my scalp, but there was an improvement in its condition. The flakes in my scalp began to be soft (which is good news because they fell down easily when I comb my hair, not like before wherein I have to take them out with my fingernails, causing my scalp to bleed), and my hair became so smooth that I got addicted into touching it every once in a while. My hair also became less frizzy and easier to comb. :D

Product Review: Garnier Pure Active Multi-Action Toner + Anti-Imperfections Roll-On

Last semester was the most tiring and most stressful semester for me. That was the time when I always lack sleep, go to school sleepy, and spend the rest of the day cramming for a lot of requirements to pass! All college students experience that, actually, especially when you are in your Junior years. Talk about so much requirements to fulfill and so many units to take before you get to your Senior year. Because of these circumstances, I developed pimples on my face that they became a nuisance for me because they were so big! Big pimples were a big distraction on my face. They were so noticeable that I felt embarrassed with them, granting that I have a white complexion which makes the pimples very prominent on my face because of their pink-red color. I tried treating them with my regular facial wash and toner and it didn't help. I had no budget to go to a derma clinic for my problem, so I visit the department store to check for pimple remedies. Then I saw this combo:

This combo comes with the facial wash, and they are packed in a blue-green box with a photo of Georgina Wilson (endorser of the product). I got the combo for only 379php (not sure, I already forgot) and this became my miracle bringer for my face. lol.

(I purchased this last March and gave it a review just now so I can't give you a photo of the combo product. But you can check the Garnier Anti-Imperfection combo on your nearest department stores.) 

These two products are a must-have if you are suffering from serious breakout problems. They have the ingredient called "Salicylic Acid" which dries the pimple, treating it and making it gradually fade from the surface of your face.

This is the photo of the back of the toner where you can see the product description and the ingredients. 

And this is how the anti-imperfection roll-on looks like:

This roll-on comes with its own box and you can check its description and other information at the back part of its box.

So how did I make them work? Here:

I used them twice a day (Every morning after taking a bath and every night before I go to sleep). First, I wash my face with the Garnier Pure Active facial wash and pat it dry. Then I moisten a piece of cotton with the Garnier Pure Active toner, gently swabbing it on my whole face, concentrating more on the affected area. Expect stinging sensations when you apply this on your pimple; that is because of the salicylic acid. After the toner, I apply the anti-imperfection roll-on on my pimples.

I religiously did this for two weeks and I have noticed that on the third day, my pimples were all dry and not so red anymore! In a span of two weeks, my pimples were already gone. Now, since the formula does not contain ingredients that will minimize pimple scars, you have to expect pimple spots after treating them. In my case, I didn't mind the pimple scars anymore. They are visible on my face (because of my complexion) but I don't mind about it now, because what's important for me is to erase the pimples on my face and look clean again. :D

-

This combo did not work for my sister's condition. She has pimple breakout on her forehead and she tried almost all of the products that she could get from the department store and nothing worked for her so she went to a derma clinic to have her pimples examined by the doctor, and she was given topical medicines and medicated toner and facial wash for it. If this product did not work on you, consult a dermatologist.

Product name: Garnier Pure Active Toner + Anti-Imperfection Roll-On

Pros:

* It comes in a combo (which is very SULIT)

* It keeps its promises (removing pimples)

* It's herbal (they claim to be; they have this "HerbaRepair")

* One bottle of the toner and the roll-on will last for many months because of its concentrated formula

Cons:

NOTHING!

Rate: 10/10

Will I buy another Garnier product? ABSOLUTELY! Garnier keeps its promises and you can really see the results in just a few days. Though I currently have no pimples now, I still use it because I haven't finished the bottle yet. It's a good toner for me because I have oily combination skin. I don't use the roll-on now, but I am keeping it in case that I'd have another pimple one of these days.

Product Review: Shawill 6 Color Cream Eyeshadow in no. 07

Last March while I was shopping for personal care products I came across the Shawill Cosmetics stall in Harrison Plaza. I checked out their eyeshadows and saw that all their palettes are shimmery, which is a plus for me! I have been looking for good shimmery eyeshadows and Shawill gave me a satisfaction for their products. I tested the colors in my skin to check if it would suit my complexion, and it turned out real great. So I bought the palette no. 07 (128php) because I love the pink and purple colors especially when they are combined! This is the palette that I bought:

At the back of the product you can see the product description and the expiration date.

This palette is great for daytime or night-time use. This is composed of six colors: Blue (as in Aquamarine blue), gray, purple, black, pink, and white. Let me give you a swatch:

You can see how shimmery and vibrant the colors are when they are applied to the skin! It's best to use when you put an eyelid primer first, so the product would have something to hold on to (and also to avoid creasing and smudging). 

Now, the downfall. When I started to use this product with their applicator, I saw that the products were somewhat "namumuo", and it resulted to a lot of fall-outs on my eyelids (as in my eyelashes and cheeks got the shimmers so I have yo remove them and re-apply my mascara and foundation). The compact looked really messy after I used it. Here:

I have to use a cotton to swab off the excess powders on the compact because I really hate messy compacts. Other than that, the applicator doesn't come cheap. It transfers the color very smoothly, you don't need to use different brushes to apply the eyeshadow on your eyelids.

Product Name: Shawill 6 Color Cream Eyeshadow in no. 07

Pros:

* Very cheap (php128)

* Comes in 6 shimmery colors

* Colors are very pigmented and blendable

* Compact is slim and sturdy

* Expiration date is mentioned

* Palette is great for daytime and night-time use, depending on your mood

Cons:

* Expect fall-outs.

Rate: 8/10

Will I buy another Shawill product? YES. I am a fan of shimmery colors and next time, I would love to try their naked palette color (I forgot the number but I have tested them on my skin and it looks really, really nice!). Fall-outs are manageable, what you would do is just get small amounts of color until you get your desired amount and intensity.
