Empties 4 (hair and body focused)

reviewing products that I have finished, and liked/disliked.

Bath & Body Works Secret Wonderland Triple Moisture Body Cream- this has got to be my favouritest product from B&BW! ok to set things straight, i dont like going to b&bw because my sense of smell becomes suicidal after. most of the products just have waaay too overwhelming scents. BUT THIS! this was a product i picked up back in 2012 when i visited California, and have kept asking friends to bring this back for me. alas, b&bw discontinued this product a couple of years later; much to my dismay. first of all, the smell is still very sweet (strawberries + jasmine petals + white amber), but in a calming way. its ‘triple body moisturizing’ promise is also comes through, leaving your skin smooth and supple. 

Beyond Scalp Clinic Shampoo - think i randomly chanced upon this when i ran out of shampoo on one of my trips to korea. this is really refreshing (major props to the peppermint ingredient) especially for days when you’re really in need of a deep scalp cleanse. it also smells strongly of mint, slightly played down by the occasional camomile whiffs. the thing about this shampoo though, is that it leaves my hair a little dry and frizzy after; so i always have to pair it with conditioner. bad for lazy days, good for post-bbq dinners.

Beyond Damage Repair Hair Mask - at a point in my life, i binge-shopped too many hair products from beyond. the outcome wasn’t bad though, because i get to stumble upon products like this fab hair mask. with brazil nut oil as the foundational ingredient, this product resolves to restore your hair’s health. and yes i would say it does! in fact i have gone through so many hair masks and this is one of the better ones that surfaced. my hair doesn’t feel heavy nor clumpy after, but in fact i do see an improvement in terms of quality (less split ends, less wire-like, shinier!) this is probably my 3rd tub, and i don’t intend to stop.

Beautek Hair Reconstructing Shampoo - i was sold when i heard this product will quell oily bangs AND IKIDYOUNOT IT LEGITLY DOES! so after like 2-3 days of using this shampoo, i could slowly see the transformation in the state of my fringe. usually by midday my fringe will start splitting and separating into chunky strips, and not even oil blotters can’t save them. but now they are perfectly fine even by 5pm HALLELUJAH. i think what this shampoo does is to make your hair more resistant to picking up the oil off your forehead maybe? my fringe doesn’t actually look or feel oily after using this shampoo, even if my forehead gets oily (sidenote; i intentionally do not use makeup on my forehead). its a miracle product im telling you, except that its a little hard to get your hands on if you live outside korea.

Beautek Keratin & Moisture Restoration Treatment - basically the complementary half of the above shampoo. i must say using these 2 products has really improved my hair condition by keeping my tresses tamer and definitely healthier looking. beautek is also a brand sold in high-end korean hair salons and frequently used by many korean celebs. a little bit goes a long way for both products so even though they are indeed on the pricey side, its worth the investment if you’re looking for a hair-changing experience.
