Review: Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

So I said, I'd make it up to you guys and here I am again with my second review of the night! The Macadamia Natural Oil: Healing Oil Treatment! I purchased this maybe a month or so ago, and have been using it pretty frequently as I have bleached hair and it tends to get super dry and damaged the easiest! I purchased this at Shoppers Drug Mart (I know, I buy a lot of things from there, it's literally 30 seconds from my house!), I bought it for $36 (pricy, these never go on sale!) and it's a super small bottle, not as small as other ones but it only contains 125 ml of oil. Yet a little goes a long way as they all say! I've barely made a dent in the bottle!

 The label on the bottle says that the oil "instantly absorbs into the hair, weightlessly infusing moisture, health, softness, protection, control and shine." I usually put this in my hair when it's still a bit damp from being washed and have realized that my hair dries way faster after I put this in. The only problem with this oil for me is that because I sometimes get the oil about mid-length of my hair, it touches my neck when I sleep which causes me to break out. So after this realization, I only put the oil on the tips of my hair which is basically the only part that's bleached. There is a definite feel of softness and difference in my hair after using this. If it's even possible, I feel that after I started using this, my hair has grown much longer and faster than it usually does (my hair usually grows maybe 2 inches in 4 months). The label also tells you to use a small amount and I cannot stress this enough but as said earlier, a little goes a long way. I use maybe a dime size and it's already enough for my hair (my hair's thick and long). Definitely no need to use a lot, no matter how thick your hair is! Since it's hair oil, it'll cover a lot of area just by you combing/brushing through your hair.

I absolutely love the packaging, I think the design is creative and it's definitely easy to find when looking for the product because there's no other packaging like this. I've had no problem with the pump so far, it definitely does not drip oil after pumping the needed amount into your palm. One thing I'm also not a big fan of (besides the acne on my neck) is that the bottle is made of glass. I understand that the glass makes it seem so much more high-class (I mean, it's $36 for Christ's sake) but it is way easier to break if dropped. I feel that a plastic bottle would do the same job if not better because it wouldn't break as easily. I do look forward to testing out more of these products, as said in my Bumble & Bumble review, I look forward on testing out the hair masque as I've heard good reviews on it.

Review: Bumble and Bumble Deeep Hair Repair Masque

I got the Bumble and Bumble Deeep hair repair masque at Sephora for about $30 or so, pricy, I know, but I was dying to test it out because I had researched it before hand and had read good reviews so I decided why not?

First off, I'll start by saying that I'm not a big fan of the packaging. I love that the cap is a twist and it just opens like that and it's not a cap that separates from the bottle (unless you break it off, of course) but after dispensing however much of the masque you need, when you close the lid, excess masque squeezes out letting you get more of the masque than you intended for.

As much as that is a hassle for me, and anyone else who finds this irritating, the masque smells AMAZING. It's like a fruity but sweet smell. (I'm smelling it as I type this) I don't know how to describe it; it definitely doesn't smell the least bit chemical. 

Just so you readers know, this masque is...

"For the chemically dependent or seriously parched (colour junkies, styling abusers or sun worshippers): a protein masque to revive lifeless locks."

If that wasn't good enough to tell you what this masque is used for...well it's for your damaged and dry hair that needs life in it. This hair masque recommends that you dab this into your hair and comb it through after using Bumble and Bumble's Gentle Shampoo but I just use any shampoo before using this. It recommends that you leave it in for twenty minutes and rinse thoroughly, but ain't nobody got time for that! I left it in for 10 minutes max and my hair was silky smooth! Obviously, it wasn't going to hydrate my dry hair immediately but it definitely felt different. 

In conclusion, I wouldn't say this is something that you should totally buy every single time you run out but it is definitely a good hair masque. I plan on trying the Macadamia Oil Hair Masque next so I will definitely write a review on that after I finish using my current hair masque!
