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?

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Range

Hey loves!

Have you guys jumped into the Argan oil craze yet? If you already have or still planning to, you might be interested to check out the Wild Argan Oil range from The Body Shop.

I received these three products to try out and so far, I'm loving how these products keep my skin and hair feel softer and smoother!

So let's get to know what this range is all about from the press release.

PRECIOUS HANDPICKED ATLAS MOUNTAIN WILD ARGAN OIL

Deep in the foothills of the Atlas mountains in Morocco grows the wild Argan tree – the only area in the world where it thrives naturally.

Here, local Berber women hand-pick and meticulously hand-crack the best quality nuts, which are then slowly pressed to extract the purest, most radiant oil.

For centuries, the Berber women have used Argan oil, traditionally as part of their hammam beauty rituals, to protect and nourish their skin and hair from the harsh Saharan winds and fierce sun. It is rich in essential fatty acids - including linoleic acid (Omega 6) - and natural tocopherols, making it a superior skin-nourishing ingredient and earning it the title "Queen of Oils".

 

5% of the skin is on the face so it’s important not to forget the body
Skin on your body ages just as fast as your face, so don't neglect it.

Moroccan women indulge in weekly cleansing rituals at their local hammam, where the combination of regular
steaming, scrubs and massages leaves their skin radiant and soft. Now you can experience the reinvigorating
benefits of a hammam in your own home with The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Bath & Bodycare range.

And now, the products:

 Body Butter

This 200ml tub is worth Php 695.00.

Rough Scrub

 The 200ml tub is Php 995.00

 The Radiant Oil

This is worth Php 1,595.00

And there's also a shower gel that's Php 395.00 that holds 250ml.

All these products smell so good. It's like a sweet nutty flavor. I am really liking it. Although this is still not one of my favorites (I LOVE Moringa and Vanilla most, of course), this is still quite addicting!

I'm no stranger to the body butters and body scrubs from The Body Shop. They are all really good and these new additions are also as good as the other ones. It will really leave your skin softer and smoother and smelling oh so good! The Radiant Oil, on the other hand, is my favorite because it just does wonders to my hair! It keeps it moisturized and makes it look healthier. You should definitely check this out!

And that's the Wild Argan Oil range from The Body Shop. What do you think of it? Do you see any product there that intrigues you?

Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense UV & Thermal Barrier Shield and Intense PM Repair

Hey guys!

Since I have been very impressed with the effectiveness of the products I've bought from Snoe Beauty (can check my reviews here), I bought some more. This time, I bought some items for my hair!

Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense UV & Thermal Barrier Shield and Snoe Beauty Haqir Heroes Intense PM Repair

I bought these three months ago. I am almost done with both bottles as I am writing this post.

I got them for Php249.00 each at Landmark, Trinoma.

These two work hand in hand for me. I use one before I leave the house and the other before I sleep. I just loooove them to bits mainly because of the scent! They just smell fantastic! I can't get enough of it! And since the lower half of my hair is permed, they help in detangling it. Makes my hair easier to manage.

Anyway, I'll now give my thoughts on each product next...

Item Description:
Beat the HEAT outside with Snoe's hair Heroes Intense UV & Thermal Barrier Shield with Argan Oil! It Coats hair and combats UV, thermal damage & dryness, keeping hair hydrated and protected. It creates a shielding barrier that fade-proofs color while enhancing vibrancy multi-dimensional shine. 

At the back of the bottle:

I love the package design of Snoe Beauty. Everything from their beauty bars to the Hair Heroes line, the designs are just great. It really shows the theme of the items just like in this bottle, it gives off the superhero comics feel to it!

The Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense UV & Thermal Barrier Shield is in a pump bottle.

The product has a thick consistency which makes it easy for me to control the amount I put on my hair. I can't put too much since my hair can get really oily by the end of the day. I don't like it looking all greasy.

I usually use 2-3 pumps and mostly at the ends to keep it moisturized and at the top of my head since that's where the sun hits the most. Like mentioned before, I use this everytime I go out. It really helps my hair look shiny and hydrated. Swear! Plus, it keeps my hair smelling great all day! ♥

Next up is...

...Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense PM Repair!
I use this every night before going to bed.

Item Description:
Hair Heroes "Intense" PM Repair with Argan Oil is a 'no-rinse' special remedy that will condition, nourish, beautifully soften & repair damaged hair while you sleep. make it an essential part of your bedtime beauty routine and awake your hair to a new level.

Details at the back of the bottle:

Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense PM Repair is in a spray bottle.

The product is oil which is easy to spread throughout the hair and scalp. I bought these since I asked the SA which item can help with my hair fall problem and she recommended this. 
I'm not entirely sure if it really does work but a few days ago, when I was having a haircut in the salon, my stylist said that I have lots of baby hair growing so I don't have to be scared of my hair fall problem much anymore. Phew!

So those are all my thoughts for these products. Will I buy again? I don't know yet since I am dying to try their Intense Argan Oil! ♥
