Be Organic Liquid Gold Argan Oil Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Hello lovelies!

Let's talk about a hair care product for this post!

I got this shampoo when I bought the TGIF Kit from BeautyMNL some months ago.


Be Organic Liquid Gold Argan Oil Sulfate-Free Shampoo
The 250ml bottle is PhP 350.00 in BeautyMNL. (It's on sale right now for PhP 280 on their website!)

Here's the product description from BeautyMNL's website:

Often hailed as “liquid gold” because of its multi-tasking good-for-you properties, Argan Oil still reigns supreme as the most sought-after luxe ingredient in beauty. Be Organic takes this revered ingredient and combines it with silk protein and panthenol to create a sulfate and chemical-free shampoo that literally does it all:
  • Repairs, nourishes and strengthens hair
  • Prevents frizz and restores shine
  • Helps with hair growth
  • Strengthens the hair cuticle, making each strand softer and smoother
  • Aids in moisture retention in the cortex and surface of the hair
  • Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, cdea, tea

More info from their website:



What drew me to buy this was the fact that Argan Oil is known for keeping hair healthy, moisturized, and strong and it also makes your hair grow faster. I have thin hair and I'm trying to avoid further hair loss so I think I should look for better hair care products. 

Another thing that made me interested here is that it's sulfate-free. Whenever I get my hair colored, I'm advised to use sulfate-free shampoo so that the color wouldn't fade out. Unfortunately, I didn't get my hair newly colored to see if this helped at all. My last color treatment was February and I think it will be unfair to do comparison with that.


At first glance, I noticed that the product is not the usual thick and creamy consistency that we see in drugstore brand shampoos. The color suits the name "Liquid Gold" because of its honey-gold color. The consistency, as seen in the photo above, is quite runny. When used, I noticed that it doesn't foam up, something I've noticed with all the organic shampoos that I've tried. There's also a mild, sort of floral-ish scent that do not really linger on hair minutes after rinsing off.

As I am writing this post, I've already finished the bottle. What I've noticed is that my hair feels healthier and not anymore as brittle from all the chemical treatments I've done (like the bubble hair color I did last February). The strands are stronger as it doesn't easily break from the root when pulled. So I can easily say that this product helped a lot in improving the health of my hair and making it stronger. 

Do take note that during the month and a half that I used this bottle, I wasn't able to get my hair cut. My last haircut was last October and from that time until now, my hair grew an estimate of 7-8 inches. My hair usually grows fast so I can't really say if this product helped in growing my hair faster. If it did, then yay! ;)

Lastly, I still think a good conditioner should be paired with this. For me, it doesn't make my hair as soft and smooth as I like when used alone. It took care of the frizziness but I like the soft texture of my hair when touched and I think the shampoo alone can't give me that so I recommend you get a conditioner... maybe an organic one... or better yet the conditioner version of this variant. I haven't tried that, but since I've noticed positive results with this shampoo then maybe pairing it with its conditioner can improve the hair even better.

And that's all for this post. Have you tried this product yet? What about other Argan Oil infused products? Any recommendations?


Cheers,
DAWN

My First BeatyMNL Purchase

Hello guys!

I've been feeling down lately. I'm currently lost when it comes to my thesis and it's really stressing me out. Anyway, just so I can feel a little better, I decided to take advantage of BeautyMNL's Big Brand Sale and bought some items. :)

It was the last day of the sale and BeautyMNL has some items that I really wanted to try. What's even better is that it was on sale. I just thought that if I were to splurge, at least I got a good deal out of them. 

And so, I bought some awesome stuff, which I will be sharing with you. Almost everything here was on sale. Yay! And what's even more awesome is that the package arrived in less than 24 hours! I ordered yesterday (Sunday) and paid via paypal and the package arrived today (Monday). Everything was in good condition and neatly wrapped. I'm very impressed with BeautyMNL's service.


It was even in a box and there were enough fillers inside so the products wouldn't get damaged. The box actually arrived covered with shrink wrap and tape so that nothing gets misplaced from it.


Anyway, let's proceed to the fun stuff. Here are the products I bought...


First on the list is a special kit created by BeautyMNL! It's the Thank God It's Friday (TGIF) Kit. The canvas bag consists of different skincare products that I would absolutely love to try! I got this for PhP 699.00 only because it was discounted. Its original price was PhP 999.00.

Inside the kit are the following:

  • Be Organic Bath & Body Argan Oil Shampoo, a frizz-fighting shampoo made with “liquid gold.” Read more.
  • Kala Milk Soap Honey & Oats Milk Soap, a gentle exfoliating soap bar.Read more.

If you have color-treated hair, then a sulfate free shampoo can help retain the color. The soap on the other hand is something that I have used before and I became an instant fan. :D


  • Leaders InSolution Double Effect AC Free, a bestselling Korean face mask. Read more.
Bath Junkies Strawberry Samba Body Scrub, a body buffer with berry antioxidants. Read more.

I've only tried a few from Leaders InSolution so I'm curious as to how well this will work on my face. I liked some of the masks I've tried from them. The Bath Junkies Body Scrub, on the other hand, smells super fantastic!

  • Made by David Organics Hand Sanitizer Trio, three bottles of scented antibacterial spray. Read more.

It's always a must for me to carry a bottle of sanitizer and I'm excited to use all three because I just love how them smell! :D

Let's proceed to the makeup products next...
Got this for PhP 269.00. Original price is PhP 299.00.

What can I say? I just love the color Peach!

The next three products came from the same brand. I've only tried one product from them and I wanted to try more. So I grabbed the opportunity to get them while on sale.

Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color in Sin City and Concrete Jungle
Got them for only PhP 374.00 each. Original Price was PhP 499.00.

I'm on a look-out for awesome highlighters! I hope these will work well.

Got this for PhP 349.00. It wasn't on sale. :P

I'm currently loving dark lipsticks so I just had to get one and chose this deep plum shade. :D

Got it for PhP 133.00 from PhP 148.00.

Got this for PhP 685.00 from PhP 779.00.

Vitamin C on my skin really brightens it and just works wonders on it. I hope it works as well as Ciracle's.


And those are the items included in my mini haul. I've swatched and tried out some of them and I'm really satisfied. I can't wait to share my reviews with all of you.

I'm also very satisfied with BeautyMNL's fast service and awesome deals. I'm sure to buy again soon! :D

Last Haul for 2012

Hi everyone!

2012 is almost over and the world hasn't ended yet! Yayyy! Haha! :P
Are you preparing for your Medya Noche this coming New Year's eve?

Anyway, I'll be sharing with you some items I bought after Christmas.
These are probably my last purchases for the year (hopefully, haha).

Laneige Snow BB Cream

Hair rubber bands

Suejin The Beauty Balm Water Gloss BB Cream
It's my first time seeing this brand and was curious to try it out. It's only Php150 so I bought it right away.

I also shopped at Saizen! Haha!

Deodorizer
Quite disappointed with this one... It smells like Safeguard soaps. Haha. :P

Glittery Loose Powder
Planning to do a creative makeup look with this thing.

False Lashes
I love the effect of this lashes on my eyes.

Design Knife
It's for my art stuff.

A simple black belt.

and a cap (forgot what this one is called).
I've always wanted to wear one but it's kind of weird to wear one in casual days so a cheap one will do since I wouldn't be wearing it regularly.

I also went shopping at SM Departments stores during their Year End Sale.


The shoes and the bag are all discounted! 

Vanilla & Co. Witch Hazel Beauty Tonic
Be Organic Triple Rice Soap

And I'd also like to share this treat I enjoyed eating yesterday,
Koori Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream.
I also like their Mochi Ice Creams as well! Yum yum! :)

That's all folks! 
2012 was a nice year for my beauty cravings. I got to try so many new products and also finished up quite a number of products I owned. It just feels so good to finally empty a product, especially lipsticks and blushes! Haha!

Thank you 2012, and see you soon, 2013!



Cheers!
