Review: Syoss Airy Curl Cream

I didn't know Syoss has a curling cream until I saw it in Landmark, Trinoma. And because I'm running out of my Monea, and because I wanted to try a new one, I gave in. Syoss came from the makers of Schwarzkopf, which by all means is known worldwide. Now let's proceed to the main subject. Check out the pictures below.

It's a pretty pale pink cream that has the same consistency with Monea, though I'd prolly say that this is less runny, more of a dense cream that's why it feels heavy on the hair. But the good thing is, just as what it promised, no stickiness. That's what I'm looking for, wherein Monea made my hair a tad greasy and sticky. BUT, be careful cause it might make your hair stiff if you applied too much. Also, it doesn't hold curls for a long time, maybe 6-8 hours is the longest, unlike Monea which still holds my curls in place even the next day. Overall, I think it's a so-so product. Not that promising, but for the price, you can't go wrong because it still does its claims.


Pros:

• no sticky feel!
• packaging comes in a professional look
• affordable for P120.00; 85g

Cons:

• doesn't hold curls for the whole day (which is 12 hours for me)
• hair can get coarse if too much is applied
• hard to find (got this in Landmark Supermarket at Trinoma)

Rating: 3/5

Still on the loose for that perfect curling cream. Any suggestions, guys? :)

Review: Careline Oil Control Blush-on in Peach Glow

Peach-toned blushes are really occupying my thoughts these past few days. I really don't know but there's something in it that makes me giddy, you know, being so tied up with the mediocre pink blushes, I think it's about time to come out of the box! Careline wasn't actually one of those that hit my mind. But then I tried it, sold with the price, and now's the time to share with you my take on this super cheapo blush.

 The puff included is so small yet so soft!

Swiped it thrice to show the color, but it's still as subtle as it can be.

Whenever I use this, it makes me look a tad dark/toasted. Thus, I think the hunt for that perfect peach blush continues. But for the price I won't be complaining since it's really inexpensive. Mind you, this one's only Php80.00 or less than $2 (5g), that they still included a super soft sponge that I am actually saving from using. Plus the fact that it has oil control and Vitamin E that's good for the skin.

Pros:

• affordable!
• has oil control and Vitamin E
• available locally
• if you're looking for a subtle, natural finish, you'll like this one
• soft puff included

Cons:

• if you're looking for great pigmentation, this one's totally out of the list
• poor lasting power
• packaging feels a little flimsy
