Framesi Color Lover Primer Review + #Giveaway 9/2 US/CAN

I have wavy hair which tends to get frizzy when I let it air dry on its own. Aside from that, it tends to look fluffy and coarse throughout the day. That's why, when I let my hair air dry on its own, I'll just put it up in a bun or ponytail once it completely dries up.

I've tried a shampoo and conditioner from Framesi a few months back and they're for color-treated hair. I color my hair at home every 3 months and what I noticed was, the first few weeks, the color would look nice and vibrant and, after that, it'll slowly fade and look dull. Recently, Framesi sent me their Framesi Color Lover Primer and I was super excited to try it.

Here is a short description of the product before I go on to my review:

The Framesi Color Lover Primer arrived in a white, plastic spray bottle. It has a nice, fresh scent which is subtle and not too overpowering. It sprays on clear and neither feels greasy nor heavy on my hair.

I apply this on my hair when I let it air dry and it's halfway dry. It makes my hair less frizzy and helps my hair look silky and shiny. I like how this doesn't weigh my hair down and at the same time, reduce tangles and static. It helps my hair retain its color and shine and this can also be used to protect my hair from heat.

It's very easy to use since I just spray it all over my hair (about 10 pumps distributed all over my hair) and leave it to air dry. It enhances my natural waves and helps prevent fluffiness. I also like that it makes my hair smell nice throughout the day. It's a great leave-in hair conditionerwww.framesiprofessional.com because it leaves my hair soft and less prone to tangles the whole day.

The Framesi Color Lover Primer is a nice hair product and works as it should.

Framesi BY Glaze Review

I have naturally wavy hair and when left to air dry, more often than not, it would look fluffy and unruly. That's why, when I let my hair air dry, I would often just put it up in a bun or a ponytail.

I've tried different products offered at Beauty Care Choices and recently, they sent me the Framesi BY Glaze to try and I looked forward to trying it. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Framesi BY (Be Yourself) Glaze is very lightweight, yet creates a strong hold.  It is alcohol, sulfare, gluten and paraben free.  The pearl proteins add moisture and a luminous shine.  Amplifies volume, protects against thermal damage and is humidity resistant.  A small amount applied to damp hair will add brilliance all day long.

The Framesi BY Glaze arrived in an 8.4 oz plastic bottle. It has a simple label printed in front and a short description as well as directions on the back of the bottle. What I like about this hair product is that this is ideally for those with naturally wavy hair.

The Framesi BY Glaze has a clear color and has a thick, serum-like consistency. I apply about a quarter-size amount on my palm, spread it on my palm and then start applying it to my roots. I spread it evenly until the ends of my hair and it's either I let it air dry or style it with my hair dryer.

This has a nice scent which leaves my hair smelling nice all day. I like how this reduces fluffiness and frizz. I noticed that even when I leave my hair to air dry, my natural waves would look nicer. It doesn't weigh my hair down and it doesn't make it look greasy.

Since this is also a thermal protectant, I can style my hair using a hair dryer or a flat iron. It also helps give my hair extra shine and brilliance. With a small amount, my hair looks smoother and shinier. I like that it doesn't irritate my scalp and I don't experience any residues on my scalp.

You can purchase the Framesi BY Glaze HERE.

Regenepure Luxury Hair Loss and Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Review

I've always struggled with dandruff and so, I regularly use an anti-dandruff shampoo to help control it. I've tried various brands and types of anti-dandruff shampoo and I noticed that my hair usually looks stiffer than usual when I use them. Yes, my dandruff is controlled for a short while, but then, it comes back.

When I received the Regenepure Luxury Hair Loss and Dandruff Treatment, I looked forward to trying it. Luckily, I don't have any problems with thinning hair so I wanted to try this mainly because it's an anti-dandruff shampoo. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Regenepure DR 8 oz Anti-hair loss and dandruff shampoo.

Amazing gentle shampoo. Sulfate free, Paraben Free.
Contains 1% ketonconazole: It is the must have ingredient. Ketoconazole is the only clinical proven ingredient for hair loss shampoo and it is a powerful anti-fungal which defeats dandruff in its tracks.
Contains aloe vera which helps to stop inflammtion.
Contains emu oil and jojobo oil that help to moisturize & ease the dry scalp can be caused by ketoconazole.
The most popular shampoo on all the major online beauty retailers such as Amazon, Dermstore, and Folica.

The Regenepure Shampoo arrived in an 8 oz. plastic bottle. It has a light blue, pearly color and has a minty scent which reminded me of toothpaste. It doesn't lather like my other shampoo and I noticed that I do have to use a bit more amount of the Regenepure compared to my current shampoo.

The Regenepure Shampoo has a cool feel on my scalp after a few minutes. It's not irritating and is actually relaxing and feels nice. I massage it into my scalp and leave it there for about 5 minutes before rinsing it.

I like how this cleans my hair but doesn't over-dry it. It does leave my hair a bit more tangled so I have to use a conditioner on the ends of my hair to detangle it a bit.

This made my scalp less itchy and I noticed that after a few uses, I saw an improvement on my dandruff. I also noticed that I've had less pimple-like bumps on my scalp after a couple of days of using this shampoo. It's mild but is effective in controlling my dandruff.

I like this shampoo because it works as it should.

The Fixxe Volume Mousse has a runny, bubbly texture and it smells really nice. The scent reminded me of sweet berries and I really liked it.

I applied 2 pumps of the Fixxe Volume Mousse by Thermafuse on my palms and worked it through my damp hair. I then styled my hair as usual and I was impressed at how this gave volume and body to my hair and at the same time tamed my fluffy hair. I also like how this helped my hair stay soft and tangle free the whole day.

My hair looked healthy and the Fixxe Volume Mousse gave my hair an extra shine which is really nice. I also like how my hair smelled subtly sweet with a hint of berries.

Tosca Style Classic Luxury Shampoo Review + #Giveaway (2 WINNERS) 6/29 US/CAN

I always love trying out new shampoo specially those which are colored/dyed hair friendly. Why? Because I color my hair at home regularly to a lighter shade and the color often fades and dulls after a few weeks of regular washing. Aside from being frizzy, puffy and tangled, my hair dries up easily specially when the shampoo doesn't suit my hair.

When I received the Tosca Style Classic Luxury Shampoo, I was quite excited to try it. I've never heard about the brand, Tosca, before so I looked forward to how it would work on my hair.  Here is a short list of what the Tosca Style Classic Luxury Shampoo is from the company:

• 100% Certified Organic Botanical Extracts
•  100% Sodium Chloride Free
•  100% Sulfate free
•  Static free and humidity resistant
•  Doesn’t strip hair or color
•  Excellent smooth after fee
•  Water soluble and biodegradable
•  Weightless, helps make styling easy
•  UVA and UVB protection against color loss
•  MEA, DEA, TEA and carcinogen free
•  Parabens and isothiazolinone free
•  No GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
•  Fresh and clear aroma of sensory essential oils
•  Cleanses, nourishes, hydrates and strengthens
•  Compress formulation, high lather and quick rinse

The Tosca Style Classic Luxury Shampoo arrived in a blue, 150 ml. (5.1 oz.) bottle but is also available in 300ml (10.2oz), 750ml(25.3oz) and 4L(128oz). The 150 ml. bottle is honestly a bit expensive compared to other more popular brands but I like that I only need a small amount of the shampoo for it to create a nice lather.

The Tosca Style Classic Luxury Shampoo has a nice, luxurious scent which is a bit floral and has a hint of vanilla. It has an orange/light yellow color and a pearly look. It's creamy and I like that it rinses off easily. It doesn't leave any residue on my scalp and on my hair. I like that it doesn't weigh my hair down and yet it is effective in controlling some of the fluffiness and frizz of my hair.

I've been using this daily for more than a week now and it haven't stripped the color on my hair. It gives my hair a clean and lightweight feel and a luxurious, not too overpowering scent.

Rusk W8Less Hairspray Strong Hold Review + Giveaway 5/11 US

I don't use hair spray often because I don't like the stiff, sticky, heavy feel effect on my hair. I can count the times I've used hair spray and come to think of it, I don't have one at home and only use it when I go to a salon when I needed to go to special occasions.

When I received the Rusk W8Less Hairspray from Beauty Care Choices, I looked forward to trying it because it says that it gives a touchable hold.

I've tried several products from Beauty Care Choices and the beauty products I've tried from them are really nice. They are an online shop which offers different brands of beauty/hair products which are popularly used in salons and they ship the products directly to the buyer.

The Rusk W8Less Hairspray arrived in a 10 oz. silver spray can.  Here is a quick product description on the bottle:

Strong internal hold for any hair type. RUSK W8less Strong Hold Shaping and Control Hairspray is a versatile design tool that provides texture, natural shine and long-lasting, touchable hold. It contains Thermplex (TM)a,  unique combination of ingredients that activates with the heat of a blow-dryer to provide shine, control and condition from the inside out.

Directions: To thermal style: Mist on damp hair; use a brush or your fingers with the heat of a blow-dryer to infuse the hair with texture and body. To finish: Mist evenly after styling for long lasting hold.

The Rusk W8Less Hairspray has a very nice scent. It leaves my hair feeling nice and clean. I followed the directions and I was surprised how it didn't make my hair feel stiff. It gave my hair a nice volume and body and at the same time kept it managed. I like that I can still brush through my hair and I like how it made my hair a bit shiny. The hairspray didn't irritate my scalp and didn't cause any excessive build-up which is again nice.

Goldwell Diamond Gloss Shine Review + Giveaway 4/20 US

My hair often looks dry, dull, frizzy and fluffy when I leave it to air dry. It looks better when I use a hair dryer or a flat iron but I don't use it often since they dry my hair out.

When I received the Goldwell Diamond Gloss Spray Shine, I was excited to try if it would help my hair become less frizzy, less dull, less fluffy and more shinier.

The Goldwell Diamond Gloss Spray Shine arrived in a silver bottle. Here's a quick product description from the company:

Goldwell's Diamond Gloss Shine Spray adds a brilliant radiance to your hair.  It calms stressed hair and guards against frizz.  It contains UV filters and is color safe.  The spray is ultra fine.  Zero hold factor...only great shine!

The directions were easy to follow. It says to spray sparingly onto dry hair.

I let my hair air dry by itself and when it was almost dry, I shook the can and then sprayed just enough for all my hair to be coated with the Goldwell Diamond Gloss Shine, which is about 4 seconds of continuous spraying all over my hair.

The scent of the Goldwell Diamond Gloss Shine is very nice and since it's a continuous spray, I easily distributed and sprayed it all over my hair.

After spraying, I brushed my hair to further spread the Goldwell Diamond Gloss Shine. I noticed that when my hair was fully dried already, my hair looked shinier and less frizzy. The fluffiness is also greatly diminished. My hair smelled nice AND it looked great. Even without using my hair tools, my hair looked naturally nice and healthy.

The Goldwell Diamond Gloss Shine is very easy to use and I like how it neither felt nor looked oily. My hair wasn't weighed down and in fact, it stayed soft, smooth and bouncy all day.
