III Sisters of nature/ 3 sisters of nature curly whip pudding

How much do i hate thee? Let me count the ways.

This product is horrible. Let me just get that straight out of the gate.  It is billed as "Frizz free, soft fluffy curls, defines curls, waves, twists for kinky styles" and that it "compares to Miss Jessie's curly pudding".  What did it deliver? Flakes upon flakes upon flakes upon flakes. It will cover, it will envelope your hair in flakes! You will look as if cornflakes were crushed in the heavens and sprinkled throughout your mane, that's what you get.

OK. Let me tell my story. I initially tried it on hair that had been washed maybe 3 days prior and only moisturised with rosewater glycerine. I thought maybe that's why the section of hair i used it upon was flake city, because it wasn't totally clean. Fair enough. So i used it a week later on clean hair(i use sulfate shampoo's and clean thoroughly) and while my hair was drying i saw the flakes. I had to blow-dry the flakes out of my hair. I used actually three of their products afterwards  and i was not impressed, but I'm going to use them separately again just to see if it was only the curly whip pudding that flakes.

It didn't really define my hair either. I would advise you to skip this altogether.

Directions: Apply curly whip to hair that has been shampooed and conditioned. Then part damp hair in large sections. Use fingers as comb when applying a generous amount of curly whip pudding to hair. Finally let hair airdry.

Ingredients: Deionized water (aqua), polyquaternium 10 PEG 14, Glycerol, DMDM Hydantoin, carbomer, PEG33 and PEG8 dimethicone, triethanolamine, sodium polyacrylate and ethylhexylsterate tridecety-6, fragrance (parfum), aloe extract(aloe barbadensis) soybean oil (glycine soja) babassu oil ( orbignya oleifera), honey, macadamia nut oil ( ternifolia), papaya extract( carica), avocado oil (persea gratissma), bay laurel extract (lauris nobilis), sweet almond extract (primus amygdalus), chamomile extract (anthemis nobilis)

It smells like bubblegum though and is purple. That's a plus eh? Am  i happy that i only  bought a sample size. In the words of M. Bison

sorry the pics look dirty, I've been carrying this pot in my bag for a week or two.

Retail price i saw £6.99. Sample size £1.99

Dabur Vatika Naturals, Olive Cactus, Hair fall control styling cream

Yes that is how long the name of the actual product is.
Big name, but tiny amount!
This is a hair cream from the popular Dabur range of haircare products from India.( although this product is manufactured in the United Arab Emirates) There a few hair creams  in the range ranging from lemon to henna and a night treatment amongst others, but for my hair this has been the best. Here are its claims


Olive- Gives complete nourishment
Cactus & Others- Strengthens hair & fights hair loss.

It says it can be used as a Pre- Shampoo treatment or as a hair cream. I use it as a hair cream.  It has only four ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive oil, Cactus extract, Panthenol and Perfume. So it is silicone free which is good for those who follow no silicone hair regimen's . Its thinner than a butter but thicker than a normal lotion texture, but its very light. It has a light pleasant fragrance and is great as a moisturiser. If you do wear your hair in wash and go styles be warned that this does not elongate nor define but is strictly a moisturiser. I wouldn't use it primarily for braid outs or twist outs either, without some other product layered on top. I really love it though, it leaves my hair soft, moisturised and easy to detangle. Its cheap- £1.99-£2.49, has few, yet good ingredients and for me is easily available. The only, only fault is its tiny!!! It is only 140ml! There is enough to do my hair maybe 2- 3 times. ( i am heavy handed) If your hair is over shoulder length or very thick it won't last long at all! That's my only gripe i wish it came in like a giant tub size. ( like their deep conditioner)  For my fine natural Afro, Type 4 hair i give this two thumbs up!! Try it.

P.S
I'm seeing some new tub sizes in the hair shop so maybe they are making it bigger? Who knows

Laval lipstick in Cerise review. Rihanna pink lipstick dupe

First dupe post?
Oh.
I wasn't looking for a dupe, i just wanted to find something new. I have branched out of nude coloured lipsticks for me and dipped my toes into red. Sometimes. But i have had a problem with pinks for a long while. Its hard for me  because although i do like the colour i don't want to run the risk of either having pepto bismal lips or just looking all out deranged.
So i spied this lipstick called cerise by Laval and thought, hey why don't i try it out? Its cheap and i can see what the colour looks like on me.

Laval lipstick Cerise. .Holla!

I love it! Its a deep dark hot pink and is actually kinda flattering. ( Urmm excuse where i went outside of my lip line on the left there, it was a slight cosmetics malfunction and won't happen again)

It also looks almost alike to Pop star Rihanna's lipstick circa flattering hairdo years

so if you have ever wanted this lip colour try Laval lipstick in Cerise.

Does it last i hear you say? Yes and maybe too well. Its a pain to get off. It stays on all night and even after a night of sleep. Yes i went to bed with my makeup on and yes i am well aware that i am now doomed to a face like a crater filled moon, a barren womb and no man of woman born shall marry me.

So anyway its long lasting, looks good on dark skin, does not dry out lips and is cheap as chips. ( less than £2. Whats not to love?

Available online and in a market stall near you.
Laval cosmetics  i salute you
