TRESemme Climate Protection Finishing Spray Review & PicturesDo you use hairspray and other styling products?

In the summer, I looked high and low to find something that would prevent my hair from getting frizzy during those hazy, humid days.

The TRESemme Climate Protection Finishing Spray was the product I picked because it went on sale for just $1.99 CAD.

Unfortunately, this product didn’t help protect my hair against humidity, and it had a really strong smell that gave me a headache that lasted the entire day…for all the days that I gave it a chance to wow me.

Gillette Satin Care Dry Skin Shave Gel Review & Pictures

Gillette Satin Care Dry Skin Shave Gel Review & PicturesI know that this product isn’t as thrilling for you to read about as nail polish, but I’ve been looking forward to reviewing the Gillette Satin Care Dry Skin Shave Gel for quite some time. (At least I’m not reviewing toilet paper…haha! Ew!)

Shaving is my preferred hair-removal method of choice because while the results aren’t as long-lasting as using waxing strips, it’s easy, fast, and virtually pain-free (unless you nick yourself). And I haven’t tried hair-removal creams.

Ever since grade school, I’ve been loyal to using Gillette shaving gel because it lathers well, comes in a bunch of pleasant scents, and doesn’t dry out your skin.

What is your preferred hair-removal method of choice? Continue reading →

Veet EasyGrip Ready-to-Use Wax Strips Review & PicturesHappy Hallowe’en!

Hope you’re having a spooktacular time! :)

Speaking of having a happy haunting, I have something truly scary to review today. It’s hair-raising even - the Veet EasyGrip Ready-to-Use Wax Strips!

I’ve wanted to try this ever since the summer, but kept putting it off because I can be a big ole chicken. *Bawk bawk bawk*

Waxing just seems really intense to me. You’re pulling the hair out by the root, after all. There’s no dainty way to go about it. Put your gold-rimmed floral teacup down! Go in and yank those suckers out!

As you can probably extrapolate from the above, I had never waxed before. So, I wanted to document my first experience on here, naturally.

Don’t worry – there aren’t any nasty before-and-after hair-removal photos of my legs to cringe at.

(Please do a Google image search for ‘Sasquatch’ if you are interested in Before Photos. For After Photos, Google Adriana Lima or some other drop-dead-gorgeous model. ;) )

MoroccanOil Oil Treatment Review & Pictures

MoroccanOil Oil Treatment Review & PicturesThere’s so much hype surrounding argan oil and its benefits for the hair that in order for you to have not heard about it, you’d have to be living under a rock the size of The Situation’s ego!

While there are a variety of argan oil treatments on the market, I was most excited to try the original MoroccanOil Oil Treatment.

Even though I picked up a small 25 mL bottle of Moroccan oil maybe half a year ago, I only started trying it this month.

I must say that it does make my hair feel smoother and look silkier without leaving behind sticky residue, so it gets the thumbs up from me.

The price, however, is pretty high, so I’m using it sparingly – but it still works impressively even in small doses!

Let me tell you a little more about what I think of the MoroccanOil treatment. Continue reading →

Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Review & PicturesArgan oil comes from a tree and is rich in Vitamin E, carotenes, essential fatty acids, and other good stuff. It has been touted as being a restorative miracle for hair and skin conditions.

So when I caught wind of the Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner, I was pretty psyched to try them out.

I’ve been testing them out for over 2 weeks now, so I feel confident about sharing my experience with you now.

As you may already know, I have tresses that need to be tamed on a daily basis with a flat iron. And if you’ve followed Swatch And Learn on Twitter, you may have seen my tweet about how my hair is the best indicator for humidity, unfortunately because it gets frizzy.

So did these two Organix Argan oil products perform miracles on my hair? Do they live up to the hype? Find out! Continue reading →
