Small haul…hair & body

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Ok so all of these were a gift, tks to my galpal Simsim (i heard this in Friends, Rachel saying galpal, lol)… she was very sweet & we had fun walking around in the Indian neighborhood (her favorite place, lol, she’s not even Indian…ok maybe she is, looool)

Anyways, rambling, here is what she got me

– Vatikka coconut oil with lemon & henna

- Queen Helene cocoa butter moisturizing cream

-KTC  100% pure coconut oil

- Zest lemon soap

Ok so the last one was a gift from the seller cause she really went crazy  in his shop, lol, she got a lot of stuff including mine so we had this soap, both of us ;-)

Now i always use the KTC coconut oil, specially for my daughter’s hair, her hair drinks this stuff, crazy ! So i restocked this one, but also because i am doing a coconut oil challenge on Hairlista, so i need to have plenty of this oil…

I chose the Vatika because i already have tried the coconut oil, i mean the regular formula of Vatika coconut oil, but this one intrigued me so i went ahead to read the ingredients…  100% natural ! No mineral oil, no paraben, sulfates, all good ! lol

Plus it has henna in it so that’s just going to be my next pre-poo oil, lol

Last the Queen Elisabeth : i tested this body cream a looong time ago in London & i just fell in love, it was great but…i purchased only one :-(   So when i was back in France i look for it all over the BSS’s and nothing…

until we went in this shop & found it !

She took the big jar for me, i was so happy ! I just looooove the strong cocoa smell it has, and how comes it has mineral oil, parabens etc… all these bad ingredients…yet it moisturizes soooo well??? lol

Whatever, stay tunned for the Vatika coconut oil review in few weeks ;-)

Alberto Vo5 Moisture milks conditioner review

I have  1 word : LOVE !

I bought this conditioner in NYC and i mainly use it to co-wash for my mid-week wash… It is a moisturizng / protein conditioner & oh my ! It entered straight in my top 3 cheapie conditioners, right after the Herbal essences LTR

They say : Treat your hair to the fragrance of fresh-picked strawberries and the moisturizing benefits of soy milk proteins in our exclusive patented conditioner. Smooths and detangles as it conditions, leaving hair silky, soft and manageable

Ingredients : Water (Aqua); Cetyl Alcohol; Stearyl Alcohol; Stearalkonium Chloride; Glycine Soja (Soy Bean) Seed Extract; Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Leaf Extract; Steareth-21; Glyceryl Stearate; Octoxynol-9; Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C); Thiamin HCL (Vitamin B1); Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A); Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E); Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5); Propylene Glycol; Disodium EDTA; DMDM Hydantoin; Fragrance (Parfum); Red 33 (CI 17200).

How to Use It :  After shampooing, apply to wet hair and leave on as long as desired. Rinse thoroughly.

Well I generally leave it on while i am showering, 5 to 7 minutes. And i try on the 1st “lather” to clean my scalp very well with the conditioner

My experience : love ! love ! love !

It left my hair silky smooth, my new growth was thanking me so much, i could style my hair ! It was meaving no greasy feeling, i use it to co-wash my henna glosses & it worked well, maybe better than my Tresemme bcz usually, after the henna my Tresemme leaves a slight greasy film on my hair…

Would i recommend it? For sure ! i would love to be in USA just to be able to buy them frequently, you can so easily stock on these condishes, they cost around 2$ in supermarkets… I think i have 5 in total, i will do a video review soon after i tested them all
