The Body Shop coconut oil hair shine

-
This was one of those impulse buy product.

I am always on the look out for cures to tame my frizzy hair. Sigh..It has a mind of it's own. Even after a generous application of conditioner post shampooing, it still frizzes out. grrrr.

Ok...ahem...back to my post.
TBS does have a Rainforest range of coconut oil but it isn't like 100% coconut oil.

I spotted this while browsing the TBS. It caught my immediate attention because of two things printed on the tub:
a) coconut oil 
b) ALL HAIR TYPES

Coconut oil is the best; whether it is for hair, body or for cooking.

Well, it is not entirely 100% coconut oil but has beeswax and other stuff added to it. 

Price: 2.5KD





The packaging is a small round tin tub - similar to a shoe polish tub.Its compact and travel friendly. The product has to be used up within 12 months of opening. It claims to smooth, add shine, condition and repair hair. The product is to be used on dry hair.


The product is pale yellow in  color with a faint pleasant smell. It is not a coconutty smell but a sweet fragrance which I couldn't  put my nose on. It is very thick like a balm and it easily melts when you rub it in between the palms of your hands. The product is filled up to the brim of the tub and is solid. Since in Kuwait, it sits in air conditioned atmosphere always, it is remaining solid. I am wondering how the product will fair in the humid climate in India. 



You have to swirl your fingers in the tub to get enough product on your fingers, warm it up and it melts and then apply to your hair. Your hair also will smell nice the entire day.

I have been using this for a month and I have to say that it does control the flyaways and frizz and imparts a shine to the hair and makes it more manageable. But you need to know the right amount of product to use. Otherwise it will weigh down your hair and you might end up as a oily mess.

I read that this can also be used post hair wash; just apply a generous amount (to be read as - get all greasy and slicky) on the hair an hour before shampooing.

A good product for the price.

Quiznos...

Ever since the American franchise, Quiznos, opened up in my work place, I wanted to try it out. They have subs, soups and salads. Quiznos doesn't have many branches in Kuwait. But one can order online through talabat . They do have a Facebook (Quiznos Kuwait), twitter  (quiznos_kw) and Instagram (quiznos_kw) accounts and a  website . Their hotline number is    188001. Their small subs are like 5 or 6 inches long and is more than enough to satiate you.  You can choose brown or white or jalapeno or rosemary Parmesan bread. I am in love with the rosemary Parmesan bread ever since I tried it.  That is how it is packaged. I bought the egg and cheddar breakfast sub on a rosemary-parmesan bread.I do not like jalapenos and pickles in my sub, so I always avoid it. And thank god they do not give you much options like Subway :). My friend ordered the steak, egg and cheddar sub. The bread is quite flavorful and light. You do not feel heavy after eating t

Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipstick No. 12

I picked up this liquid lipstick during the recent sale in Boots. I have seen a lot of pics and reviews about the liquid lipsticks from Bourjois and I wanted to try one for a long time. They have a lot of shades to choose from and I ended up buying the No. 12 shade called beau brun. Now, the company promises light texture, extreme comfort and 24hour hold. It is packaged in a transparent tube and the cap color matches the lipstick shade (which is a big plus for me; you have an idea what the shade is before swatching rather than open up every tube to find out the color). That is how it looks once you open it. There is a 'chemical' smell which is annoying but is gone in a few seconds.The brush has a slant at the top and this makes the application of the lipstick a lot easier. With this brush, you can actually apply the lipstick tracing the lines of your lips without any bleeding and even the corners of your lips is easily reachable. The above pic

INGLOT had organised an event exclusively for their social media fans to celebrate 10 years of beauty. It was an invite to their store in Avenues Mall to experience their latest collections and makeup applications on Wednesday August 10, 2016. The invite was only to the first 200 who RSVPd to an email ID they had posted on Fb. I have always passed by their store and admired the colorful display of nail polishes and eye shadows but never really ventured to walk in and try the products.  Inglot store in Avenues We were received with a welcome drink and donuts :). I had fun walking around and swatching and trying again the lip shades, eye shadows and foundation. The crowd was huge. Hmm..who would want to miss to be a part of such an event.
