Description:

Pantene Night Miracle works on your damaged hair while you sleep for 8 hours of continuous repair (smoothens roughened surface of each follicle). Its lightweight formula absorbs into the core of the hair and helps repair damage without leaving visible residue on the pillow.

Instructions:
Before you sleep, apply 2-3 pumps of the product onto your palm. Spread on both your palms and apply into your hair down to the tips. Do not apply to your scalp. Do not rinse. Use 2-3 times per week before sleep or as often as needed.

The cream is light in texture and smells heavenly. Another plus point is that the cream is not heavy, nor does it weigh hair down (despite the high content of silicone).

To tell you the truth, I was quite apprehensive when I applied it on my dry (as in “not wet”) hair before bed. I wasn’t too keen on slapping anything on my hair lest I smudge the pillow with cream. Still, I gave it a go, just before bed. To my pleasant surprise, my hair was soft and bouncy the next morning, without a hint of residue on my pillow. Happiness!

Even though the instructions state to apply 2-3 pumps of the product, I actually only applied 1 pump. I found 2-3 pumps too much of a product to use, even on long hair. If you find that your hair feels wet after application, or if you think that you’ve applied too much, take a couple of tissues and blot the hair. Wrap the tissue around handfuls of hair and squeeze. Just like squeezing water out of your hair after your shower.

It’s suitable for all hair types, but I would recommend it for those with dry, damaged hair.

Pantene Night Miracle Leave On Creme Serum retails at AU$10 (90ml) and is available at all leading pharmacies.

What I like about it: Smells good, not heavy, hair feels soft and bouncy the next morning. Cheap as chips.

What I do not like about it: Nothing

The Rosebud salve is a very popular lipbalm in the US, and I managed to buy a strawberry-flavoured one on my honeymoon. As cute as the vintage tin was, it was a pain in the arse to have to dip my fingers into the balm just to rub it on my lips. Not very hygienic too, if you ask me. A week ago, when I was shopping on Kiss and Makeup NY for some NARS makeup, I stumbled upon the salve in a tube. Since it was only US$6, I threw it into the shopping cart as well.

The lipbalm in the tube is exactly the same as the ones in the tin. The balm has the same smooth consistency, hydrated my lips well without it feeling dry or tacky. The balm does not colour the lips or skin, despite the pink tint. It’s a great base for my lippies.

I’ve only used this on my lips, but you can use it like Lucas Papaw ointment as well, e.g. apply on irritated skin, soothe dryness, minor burns, etc. Best of all, since it comes in a tube, it’s very handy and hygienic. No more dipping of fingers into the balm!

Smith’s Rosebud Perfume Co. Salve In A Tube is available at Sephora and retails at US$6 for 0.5oz. I purchased mine from Kiss and Makeup NY. Unfortunately, it isn’t available in Australia. Bummer. The tinned version is better value for money – it’s the same price for 0.8oz. But for me, I prefer the tube anytime.

What I like about it: Pleasant scent, good base for lippies, cheap as chips.

What I do not like about it: It’s not available in Australia.

Note: If you’re in Australia, would like to purchase beauty products from brands like NARS, Trish McEvoy, Mario Badescu, Fresh, Smashbox, etc but don’t want to pay exorbitantly marked-up Australian prices, do check out Kiss and Makeup NY. Worldwide shipping is only US$7.95 flat rate. I received my package less than a week after I placed my order.
