TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask Review

Comments Off on TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask Review

hihi everyone I hope all is well.

Today I will be sharing my experience with the TGIN Honey Miracle hair mask . This is one of those products in our natural hair community that everyone seems to love! so I finally decided to try it and see what the hype is about.

This hair mask promises to nourish and heal strands in need of repair. The result is hair that never looked so good and contains raw honey for softer, shinier tresses and jojoba and olive oils

Experience

I have had this mask in my routine for a few months now. I started using it probably around last spring/ summer. I have this on rotation, currently I use it every 2 weeks on wash days however I was using this every other wash day switching between the Briogeo don’t despair repair mask and the shea moisture manuka honey mask last summer to fall season.

The texture is thick but it spreads easily on the hair. it has a very pleasant scent. The mask has a good amount of slip so can be used for finger/comb detangling. After applying, I sit with a heated cap for 20-30 mins before detangling and rinsing. This is a nice hair mask! It really softens the hair and leaves it feeling better. I have 4c low porosity fine hair and this works well on it. Even with a texture release, the mask is still effective.

Verdict

I finally got this mask because the girls said it was amazing for 4c low porosity hair and they weren’t lying. I was comparing this mask to another popular honey mask- the shea moisture manuka honey deep conditioner and the TGIN out performs that by FAR. I think the combo of honey, olive oil and aloe juice does wonders for dry 4c hair.

I highly recommend this one for us! the hype is real. If you are choosing between this and the Shea Moisture mask, go with the TGIN! Your hair will love it! I’m almost out of the TGIN and I will be repurchasing

TGIN is available on Amazon or your local hair shop

Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum Review

Comments Off on Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum Review

hey hey people! I hope all is well with you.

Today’s post just highlights the importance of 2nd chances and why we should be giving people and products (lol) one * within reason lol

Today I will be reviewing the vit c serum from Naturium. This came in the Spacenk 2024 beauty advent calender

Let’s begin

This is a vit c complex serum which is formulated with highly stabilized l-ascorbic acid vitamin C complex, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and a bioactive fruit blend that helps defend skin from environmental stressors, promoting healthier-looking skin ( from website)

I started using this on 22nd Dec and run out of it on the 2nd of Feb so it lasted 6 weeks. I mainly used it in my am routine but also a few times in my pm routine. I experienced no irritation with it.

Experience

This is a lightweight serum that feels hydrating on the skin. I really like that it sinks into the skin with ease and doesn’t have any stinging sensations you can get with vit c serums. The brand directs users to use a pea sized amount but I have to tell you I used more than that- 2 to 3 pumps over my face neck and chest then hands with whatever was left

Performance? yes it delivers! I love vit c serums because they work to brighten the skin whilst protecting against environmental aggressors! This serum feels nice on the skin and a pleasure to use. After 2 weeks of use, my skin was glowing and overall my complexion just looks healthier! The serum is a combo of different types of vitamin c: ascorbic acid & SAP and fruit blends also known to have vit c. It also has aloe vera leaf juice which I have come to love for its hydrating properties esp for my hair! Look at my skin!

Verdict

oh how I miss vit c serums! I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice super antioxidant serum for a while and I really enjoyed it but I wanted to use Vit c serums again! This serum just reminded me why Vit c is the gold standard for skin brightening and a glowing complexion. The serum is well packaged to protect against the unstable nature of pure vit c, so it didn’t oxidize in the time I was using it.

I’ve used my fair share of vit c serums in the past and I can say this is up there with my favorite ones! I’m genuinely surprised by this product because I HAD written off Naturium as a brand! I have previously tried 3 of their most popular best selling products and they were so disappointing so I thought to never try the brand again. With this coming in the advent calendar I had no choice but to give it a 2nd chance and I’m really glad I did! I’m thinking of trying their peptide serum now ( even though I HATE their peptide eye cream lol) because of this.

I highly recommend this and will purchase this again!

the serum is available from Boots or Spacenk
