✧˖°🌷 ୨୧˚ Holygrail Asian Haircare ✧˖°🌷 ୨୧˚

Saturday, August 24, 2024


 I haven't posted up here in such a long time but when I found these haircare products I felt they deserved a post all about them! But first things first, a little back story....all my life I've tried to find hair products that worked for my hair because when I was about eight I went to a hair salon and needless to say the perm they gave me ruined my hair. Ever since then my hair has been really damaged, dry and with split ends galore. 

I think I've tried every product imaginable since I was a little girl to make my hair healthy looking but nothing has ever worked. I've tried drugstore brands and even more expensive brands, shampoos and conditioners which always either left my hair dry or super oily looking, even frizz free products to tame my hair and none of them ever worked. It's been exhausting and frankly, I felt like giving up. I had found an Asian heat protectant hair serum years ago that worked wonders but then, wouldn't you know it....they discontinued it.     
 And, then, this year I discovered these Asian products below and everything changed! The first product I found was the Fino Premium Touch Hair Mask. The smell of this hair mask is SO good. It smells like honey nectar and flowers and ambrosia of the gods...it's the best way to describe it to be honest. One of my favorite scents! It transformed my hair and gave it back all it's moisture. I think I might have overused it to be honest....because after awhile it started to over moisturize my hair but that only means it did it's job and I didn't need to use it anymore which frankly, kind of bummed me out cause the scent is amazing. I definitely give it 5 stars. One thing when you over moisturize your hair, you need to add protein back into it so I started using a protein hair mask but I'll get to that in another post probably.

You can get the Fino Hair Mask here
 
 The next product I found was the Mise En Scene Serum. It's a wonderful serum that smoothed out my hair and is not greasy. It's a heat protectant and makes my hair super shiny! And omg, the smell....like water lilies. It smells so good. I'd buy it just for the scent alone to be honest. I'll definitely be purchasing this again when I run out.


Another serum I had to have was the Fino Hair Serum also a heat protectant....I wanted something that smelled like the hair mask and this does indeed smell like it. I like to layer it with the other serum but try not to apply too much as it can get weighed down. I definitely think I'll be buying this again.  
 
 

The last set of products I got and absolutely favorite is this shampoo and conditioner set by Tsubaki. It's the Moist and Repair haircare set and wow! Just wow! I have NEVER found a hair conditioner that has worked for my hair like this one. It doesn't make it greasy and makes my hair look so healthy. I use a lot after I shampoo and really squish it into my hair so every strand gets coated.

This shampoo and hair conditioner has changed my life. My hair is 95% less frizzy without even adding anything else and it looks sooooo incredibly healthy even with my split ends. If these ever get discontinued, I'll be sooo incredibly sad. They're beyond amazing!!!! And that is why I had to post this...cause I've finally found my perfect haircare items after searching forever. I don't think I'll ever use anything on my hair again unless it's from Japan or Korea. My goodness, but I find their products to be far superior than anything I've ever tried. I'm in love.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY ♥ Kawaii Box! ♥ The Cutest Little Subscription Box Ever

Friday, August 7, 2015

Happy Sunday all! I've been excitedly working away on editing these photos for another absolutely adorable Kawaii Box review. I was going to get this up on Friday but got a little delayed but Sunday is a great day to do a little review and giveaway don't ya think? I didn't think this box could get any cuter but I was wrong...it is FREAKING cute.  I'm so obsessed with all things Kawaii and all the cuteness they have to offer. That's why I had to review another one of Kawaii Box's subscription boxes for you. This cuteness *has* to be shared! 


That's Antoinette my unicorn...(Yes, they exist and she has lavender hair!! heehee)! She's super excited about this Kawaii Box!! One thing that I noticed different in this box was that they had a list of everything in it that came in the box. That was extremely helpful because it can be kind of hard to know which is which since they're in another language. Good thinking Kawaii Box. :) 

Here's what came in this pretty box! 

1.) Cute Guys Stationary Set
2.) Kawaii Bean Mini Plush
3.) Hello Kitty Pen (My favorite!!)
4.) Alpaca Bag Charm
5.) Ice Cream Stickers (So stinkin' cute!!) 
6.) Korean Nail Art Set (Neat!)
7.) Smiling Poop Sharpner
8.) Strawberry Squishy Charm (Loved this!)
9.) Cute Animals Pill Box (Going to use this for candy!)
10.) Sushi Pluggy Charm
11.) Animal Sticky Notes
12.) Kracie Bubble Jelly DIY Candy

Look at EVERYTHING that came in that sweet little box babes. It's just overflowing with Kawaii goodies





You can see the cute little Hello Kitty Pencil that came in it with the most adorable Hello Kitty Charm dangling from it. Pretty much my favorite item in the box and I've been using it all the time. It makes it so much fun writing things down. I don't think I've used pencils since my school days. Ha! 




That little blue box is the cutest pill box I've ever seen. Cupcakes, a cute little bear with a not so cute needle!! Eeek!...heehee.... since I don't have any pills to put in it it's perfect to put some candy in it! Next to it on the right is the Bean Mini Plush! Who knew you could make a bean super cute?! Closeup below of this cute little fellow. *wink*



Here's a closeup of the cute pill box.  And that's the Bling Bling Nail Art Set next to it! It didn't come with any nail glue so you'd have to get that, but SO cute! I love the nail designs. It came with a pink buffer, a wood pick, nail toppings shaped in hearts and stars in a rainbow of colors! 
Another view of the nail kit and next to it is the Kracie Bubble Jelly DIY Candy. I haven't tried it yet but I can assure you there will probably be instagram pics!  DIY candy is so much fun. 



And look at this cutie pink alpaca bag charm! Freaking adorable. If that doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will. *smiles* It's the little things that make your life a happy one, right? Look at it's adorable pink bow!





Here we have the Sushi Pluggy Charm, the strawberry squishy...which is well...very squishy! I love it. Would look adorable...am I using that word too much?! Nah!!!...on a strawberry purse and I just noticed for the first time that Alpaca's tail is shaped like a HEART! Awwww.....




I swear that faux chocolate on that strawberry squishy charm looks so real I'm tempted to take a bite! 

Okay, that's a poop shaped sharpener. Poop. Shaped.  *blink blink* Normally, I wouldn't be enamored with something like that but with the fact that I have a new kitten & I'm constantly cleaning up his poop in his litter box I found it pretty amusing that I would get this in my box. hahaha.... Besides, it's smiling. It's a happy poop and it's PINK. It'll definitely make you giggle!!



Now, we have the Cute Guys Stationary Set! Awww, man, the packaging...it has a wee little bear on it. How could you not want it?! It comes with two yellow unsharpened pencils in the same design as the bear on the package. On it it says "Have a good time! Let's Smile! Look so happy." How sweet is that? It also comes with a mechanical click pencil, a circle sharpener, a white and yellow pill shaped eraser, two other pieces that  you put over your pencil..not sure what they're for. I guess just for decoration. 

Here's the animal sticky notes. Keep forgetting to get the milk? Jot down a quick reminder with your Hello Kitty Pencil on one of these cuties and stick to the fridge!  And finally, the cutest little stickers! I just want to stick them EVERYWHERE!! 

Eeek! Look at all the cuteness! There are cute little bubble bees, strawberries, pretzels, a bear in a cupcake!, Chocolate bars, Sushi rolls with sweet bunnies on them, a cute MOUSE in a green tea cup! What? What? OMG. I just died of cuteness overload.  

So, what did you think? If you want to get one, just check out their website!  Pretty darn affordable and it'll make you one happy babe or dude to get one in the mail. I know I am!
