Sunsilk Keratinology Advanced Reconstruction Program Express Treatment Conditioner Review

Whew! That was a huuuu...uggeee title for a post ;)
So ya, I am back with the review of the conditioner (no I am not repeating the name for sake of increasing the word count..err..I actually did that :P) that I got in my recent haul. Now, what made me buy this. Well, you see Sunsilk has this trend of coming with remodeled products with the same old formula every now and then, which I am not bothered to try out most of the times. But this time the new shape and color and the whole glam factor of the range made me buy this conditioner and the words 'salon like', 'Keratin Micro Technology' etc. acted like a catalyst in the process. And I am glad I did. Read on to know why!

PRICE: Rs.200

QUANTITY: 200ml

INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IT CLAIMS: 

"Keratinology by Sunsilk Advanced Reconstruction Program Express Treatment Conditioner prepares hair for intensive repair.

The conditioner has been formulated with Keratin Micro Technology to prolong the look and feel of salon-like hair and to address the damage caused by bleaching, colouring, and heat styling.

The conditioner penetrates the hair fibre to help restore and retain moisture loss, while conditioning ingredients help to repair surface damage by sealing cuticles and locking in your colour for longer."

MY EXPERIENCE: Sunsilk Keratinology Advanced Reconstruction Program Express Treatment Conditioner is of medium consistency that is neither too thick and creamy nor too runny, but perfect to easily spread and apply on wet hair. The color and consistency reminds me of 'mishti doi' (sweet yogurt) :P. It has got a strong but nice smell which lingers on for a bit after washing off. The best thing about this conditioner is that, it not only makes my hair 'feel soft', but also my hair ends seems 'visibly softer, with soft light curls at the end, without any curling or heat. Like any other good conditioner it helps in easy detangling, makes my hair more manageable, though I haven't seen any drastic change in my hairfall i.e. it has neither increased or decreased, or the frizzy top layer (which I think is completely roasted and fried and nothing can work on it :( ). 

WHAT I LIKED:

• The medium consistency is perfect for my dry hair.
• I quite like the strong smell, but that depends on personal choice.
• I like how it makes my hair 'visibly soft' like they blare on the ads, which is quite a nice change for me.
• Makes my hair look shinier and healthier.
• For the work it does, I am okay with the price.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• The packaging i.e the dispensing mouth of the bottle is not spill proof and that's from my personal experience. There was a bit of leakage when the product reached me. Hence, not very travel friendly.
• Though I don't care as long as the product works, but I think this conditioner leads to product build up on hair, because when I wash my hair the next day, it feels a bit too sleek as if there is a film on my hair. #Note: I rinse my hair properly after applying the conditioner, so that's not an issue!
• Doesn't give me the perfect salon straight hair like it claims, but then I don't use any blow dryer or straightener to get one.

VERDICT: Now, this is surely giving a hard competition to my HG conditioner and going to my love list for hair care. I am definitely going to get some back-up. If you have rough/dry hair the you can give this a try. I am sure you won't be disappointed.

ColorBar Blush - Shade Plum Brown Review

Hola ladies! I am seriously lagging behind on my posts. But, at times I couldn't muster the energy to post even when I plan to do. And, when I sit to do one, my internet chooses to betray me at that moment. Like today, I spent 2-3 hours doing nothing but to wait for it to get stable. Uggghhh!! And before it changes its mood again, let me get on with today's review.

I don't know how I became so crazy for blushes suddenly, and now I hardly go out without wearing some. So, today I would be reviewing the ColorBar Blush in shade Plum Brown.

 PRICE: Rs.300

QUANTITY: 6g

WHAT THEY CLAIM: Available in five shades, Plum Brown, Cosmic Rose, Fuchsia, Peachy Rose and Just Earth, the Blusher accentuates the cheek area giving a glow to the face.

This silky powder contains a moisture balance formula that is easy to blend and keeps the skin smooth, hydrated and nourished for soft cheeks with just the right hint of color.

   

INGREDIENTS:

SWATCH:

Left: Blended    Right: Unblended

MY EXPERIENCE:

I wanted to try Peachy Rose but, it was OOS, but I am glad I got the Plum Brown one because Peachy Rose seems to be similar to my Deborah Milano Rosa Pesca and I wouldn't have liked two similar buys at the same time. Plum Brown is a powdered blush with finely milled particles and hence blends easily. It is shimmerless and the shade is a pretty light brown with just a hint of peach (I don't see plum) that would flatter most of the skintones. For very fair tones this can used for contouring too. On an average it stays for more than 4 hours on my dry skin with very slight fading. The packaging is sturdy, with two compartments inside. The upper one has the blush, while the lower one has an attached mirror and a small brush which is really soft but shreds like crazy. It would have been a perfect travel friendly blush, had the brush was a little more useful. 

WHAT I LIKED:

• Highly pigmented and easy to blend.
• Didn't cause breakout or irritation.
• This shade is non-shimmery and can be worn anytime.
• Can be layered to use for contouring.
• Stays for more than 4 hours on me.
• Price is comparatively reasonable for the quantity, but I hope they don't hike the prices again.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• The brush is soft but shreds crazily and hence can't be used.
• Almost all the shades look similar to me barring the peachy rose.

VERDICT:

If you are new to blushes, it's a nice brand to start with, without burning a hole in the pocket. For me, other than the peachy Rose I might not get any other shade, though I really loved the quality.

Tag-O-Mania

So there is this tag post going around in the blogosphere for quite a while. And I got tagged by my sweetest blogger buddy Rekha (I love to call her Rekhu :D...*puchhiees* for the tag).

Here comes the rules,

Rule#1: Put the rules on your blog.

Rule#2: Every person who is tagged in this activity should tell 11 things about themselves, then answer the questions asked by the person who tagged you, then tag 11 other people and ask them 11 different questions. 

Rule#3: Let the people whom you tagged know you've done so.

Rule#4: Don't tag anyone who's been tagged before.

Rule#5: Really do tag 11 others, don't go all ''if you want to take this tag''

11 random facts about me:

• I like to plan my next day and check a to-do-list in my mind before going to sleep.
• Continuing to the first fact, I do slip on a few points and only remember them before falling asleep *SHIT* :P
• I am very moody, whether I am PMSing or not.
• I am addicted to my laptop and internet and feel a void when they are not up and working.
• Though I might come across like a chatterbox on my blog, but I talk much less in person, and like to listen and observe others.
• I am in my last semester of post-grads and I can't wait it to end and get started with a real job, so much so it gets suffocating at times!
• Sometimes I am too ignorant to my skin and diet, and have to face consequences but I am yet to learn my lesson *GUILTY* :P
• I am too stubborn and lazy and that is a deadly combination ;)
• I will be completing silver jubilee in this world, later this year, but I still have a mind of a 16 year old and talk like a 8 year old.
• I always believe in the goodness of others.
• I hate rains and never find them romantic!

Okay now its time for Rekha's questions:

1.  What’s the good, bad and the ugliest thing you have seen in this blogging world?

 

The Good: The effort and the good intention put behind all the blogs is commendable.

The Bad: To condemn someone's effort and make fun or bitch about them is not required. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and has the right to express it, but not by pulling down someone else.

 

The Ugliest:  Haters and blog-competitors. Hello! It's only a blog and not a life deciding factor.

2.   What’s the most adventurous/funniest thing you ever did in your life?

 

I had many funny moments during my school life. And they are still topics of discussion in our regular meets of school friends and gets us into a fit of laughter. Like one incident, where our English teacher was taking long to come to class and we sneaked out from the other side to the basketball court on the backside to play for 15mins, and she saw us from the windows that we were playing and was coming out of the class to get us and give punishment, and when we saw her we rushed into the classroom from the other side. When she came in the class again and charged us, we stood with innocent faces and said we were in the class only and she got so confused and didn't give punishment at all. Well, it was damn funny at that age.

3.    Favorite movie punch line/dialogue (with movie name and reason why it's your favorite).

 

The DDLJ one: Bade Bade Sheharo Mein Aisi Choti Choti Baatein Hoti Rehti Hain Senorita. Well it isn't a favorite, but it's somehow stuck in my head and my bf repeats it sometimes when he tries to be funny.

4.   Have you ever lied for good? If so what was your best lie that you were in fact proud of?

 

Uhmm..maybe sometimes to save mine or my friend's ass, but nothing life changing to be proud of.

5.   Any funny incident with SA’s or while shopping for makeup?

 

 I find it funny when I see the SAs putting on their makeup hurriedly when they see some customers coming.

6.   If given an option, the one thing you wish to change in your life

 

Throw away all my depression and the depressing factors out of my life.

7.   What’s the funniest dream you ever had

 

Don't remember any at the moment.

8.   What is the first thing you do once you getup in the morning

 

Check my mobile for *a missed call* from *him*.

9.   Do you have any weird habit?

 

Washing my hands too many times than needed.

10. How many shoes and bags do u have (approx)

 

I am not a collector and I have only 2-3 pair of shoes and 1-2 bags/purses (not counting the ones which I don't use anymore but kept) which are good to go for different occasions.

11.  One question that you wish to ask God if you get a chance to meet him

"Is the world going to end this year?"  provided I meet him/her before that!

Now here are my questions, 

• Why is blogging important to you?
• What’s the good, bad and the ugliest thing you have seen in this blogging world?
• Given a choice, what would you like to be in the next life?
• Your worst addiction?
• What is the best thing that has ever happened to/with you?
• You are guilty of which of the Seven deadly sins?
• Your favorite song and why it is your favorite?
• What is part/time of the day you enjoy the most?
• What is the most difficult thing you had to do till now?
•  Sweet/Salty/Sour/Bitter?
•  What is the best compliment you ever got?
