Ol'eo Hair regrowth Shampoo and Conditioner review

I have this hairfall dilemma for sometime now,on and off usually excessive when im stressed,i tried Pantene hairfall control,Dove's line, Mane n' Tail (usually works),local organic brand giga's solid shampoo,and lastly Ol'eo a local organic brand sold in Sesou Nature source

I first saw them on display in Sesou Robinsons Magnolia,yellow and orange packaging instantly stood out almost looks like a sale sign! haha and had to try it out!


the hair and scalp conditioner is placed in a box because its in powder form,its actually two items.


details on the box


Its a green colored shampoo that smells a lot like the scent coolwater! I'm so glad that the smell was pleasant enough to use everyday,cause i have a high sensitivity to lemongrass and citronella which is almost always present in organic products,the smell goes away when your hair is dry.


So you basically mix a ratio of 1:1 of shampoo and the unique mineral powder scrub together and use it like how you shampoo your hair,leave it on for abount 2-3 minutes then rinse.


Okay, so it felt a little itchy,the more time i leave it,it will itch more,but wait! it goes away when my hair is dry.
I used up the 125ml shampoo and the 40 grams mineral powder and bought the bigger sized bottle,and the itchies went away completely,so i guess my scalp need to get use to organic ingredients...

This is my hair before i used oleo

But the results are the most rewarding!
my hair AFTER using up the smallest starter/sample bottle which is 40g of mineral conditioning powder and the 125ml shampoo
The photo does'nt looked like i grew much hair,but for me,i got less hairfall at about 70%,its not dramatic in hairgrowth but i got this result after using the tester sized bottle,so for me thats a big difference already!

here's a pic to compare sizes:
Ol'eo Hair regrowth treatment shampoo
goes in 250ml Php165 and 125 ml Php98
Ol'eo Hair & Scalp Conditioner (powder form)
goes in 80grams Php200 and 40 grams Php112



Verdict:
Pros:
- significantly less hairfall (don't comb hair when wet)
- a few hair grew
- smells great!
- unique powder formed conditoner
- inexpensive!
- easy to find locally

Cons:
- Itches at first but goes away when you kept using

Good things Comes who those who wait -HAIR! Babyliss PRO215

My most fave buy before the year 2012 ends!
I can't stop raving about this styling tool since my search for a flat iron ends this instant!
I was looking for flat iron/curling iron to style my unruly hair, one that's hassle free and easy to use! i scoured "The Landmark" "robinsons Dept. Store" and Sm malls and almost bought this pink styling tool from Sm watsons,but had to think twice because of the manager's warning that they received negative feedback from this new tool,try to stay away from it,its the P999 flat iron that says its ceramic,its a no-no.


until i found this!
I always see babyliss in youtube gurus and i know that its one of the most reliable styling tool in the US.so I'm glad to get my hands on these!





Best of all is the price to beat! from P2550 35%off P1650 less 10% equals to P1485!!!

10% came from this promo! watsons almost always gives away this promo,so watch out for it.



I also considered picking up the vidal sassoon mini flat iron that costs P999 after discount,it was almost P1500 originally.


I did'nt get it because the vidal sassoon SA in Sm Dept store mall of asia was trying to convince me to get their most expensive flat iron the black wet and dry kind,i said i dont want to get it because its expensive,until i saw the sm watsons pink P999 one,she then pull out this vidal sassoon mini flat iron (photo above) that was not on display from their line, but when i started to show interest on it,she kept on saying that its inferior to their wet and dry one,telling me again and again "ito nalang" "ito nalang" (get this one),with her impatient and unfriendly way of convincing me,( not looking into my eye annoying way when she speaks)insisting to buy the expensive wet and dry one.
Not only that they are not helping me decide on my purchase,but furthermore confusing me,you know that feeling wherein you wanted to buy something that works but doesnt cost a head and a foot? I understand its the best in their brand but i don't want the best, i only wanted something that works. the "turning AWAY" point was when she commented "those are the cheapest tools here in the store" in tagalog "yan na yung mga pinakamura dito sa watsons" (pabalang at inis) and looked away while storing away the tools.almost saying to my face that im cheap! I'm a practical buyer and a bargain hunter! so miss disrespectful SA and miss mahilig magparinig,ikaw ba lahat ng binibili mo yung mahal?
Guess what i bought babyliss! the next time i passed by their area,she was looking at me and following me with a ,i know her look and enving my curled hair. umph!

Here's a video where i learned the most helpful tricks on styling your hair and curling it with a straight iron,i saw 3 videos and this one was the mosthelpful of all,tried it twice and got it at my 2nd try!

Majolica Majorca buy 1 take 1 mascara sale

Good things comes who those who wait moment!!!
I've been lemming for majolica Majorca products since they arrived in watsons Philippines,waiting for discounts and promos,until i came across this from their facebook page

before,they had this promo with the mascara,but it was for the blue mascara,its not bad,but i have really sparse lashes and i need the blackest most visible mascara i can get hold on.
So this time,Lash expander frame plus was buy 1 take 1,including the black one,funny thing was,the saleslady assisted me in the counter while i was paying and said that she mistakenly got 1 black and 1 blue for me,and suggested i get two kinds because the blue one was also good as the black one,they're really trying to get rid of that blue mascara huh,just give it out for free haha!




price was P795 for two!

the mascara boasts of that popular dual brush!

and watsons gave away these voucher the last time i visited one of their branches,and i used it to get that P100 off

I just need to get some more items to get that P1000 mark,good thing these necessities where available,the handwash refills were P99 buy 1 take 1 also,so i really got a good deal that day

last day of Rockwell's Moonlit Bazaar 2012 holiday

Went to the last day and last leg of the rockwell moonlit bazaar!
entrance fee is P100
There were many stores that i did'nt see that day,favorites of mine,I heard they were all in the St. James bazaar in Alabang!

a lil bit expensive for mwah!

expensive but handmade! pretty pretty



This is my loves! i have this favorite jewelry booth that i always visit when i drop by bazaars,its called style on air,and this is another one like it,lexie and co.there's this white statement ring that catched my attention,it looked like the ring i was interested in envy fashion + accessories,it was a flat circle with a seahorse inside,envy was for around P300 and lexie's was P150!


pretty statement pieces from another jewelry store that uses large stones

I was eyeing this safari blazer from thecloset goddess,Ive' always thought online sellers sell their items much cheaper in bazaars,the tindera said it was P1500,i only got P100 off when i asked for a discount,i didnt get it,although i must say its a beauty! you can tell its quality,with lining and material was really nice,you get what you pay for,really...
And then when i checked online,it was P1200,...ummmmm....their stuff gets sold out so quickly!,i dunno...abangan ang susunod na kabanata...bleck!
