Earth Care | Feet for a Queen Rosemary Avocado Healing Foot Balm

I purchased that Earth Care Feet for a Queen Foot Balm the same time that I purchased the Earth Care Orange Tea Lip Balm (read about it here). I simply love the lemon grass scent of this balm. 

I have to be honest though that the texture of the balm of the tester that I tried is much different than the texture of balm that I purchased. The tester balm was super soft while the balm that I purchased is kinda hard. Hmmmm........

Getting the product out of the tin can get to be a tad of a challenge. I have now resorted to scraping a tiny bit of the balm off with my finger nail and applying it to where I want it on my feet. 

I normally apply this balm on my feet just before bed. I like the feel of the balm on my feet but is it making my feet smoother or improving the texture of my feet? Hmmmm.... I can't really say, to be honest.

I treat this more as a feet pampering product. Results? None that I can see nor feel the difference after using it almost daily for almost four weeks now.

Claire Organics | Kurokami Soap

Okay, so here I go again... yet ANOTHER beauty purchase!

I was browsing the Christmas stores in One Utama when I came across a stall by Claire Organics. Curious, I took a look at some of their products. I didn't buy anything then but made a mental note to research them online.

My research revealed that they had a product that was of interest to me --- the Kurokami soap for hair! According to the Claire Organics Facebook page Kurokami is supposed to be good for hair growth, darkening hair color and has anti-dandruff properties. The soap smells organically yummy (no other way to describe it!).

Hmmm..... so today, I went down to One Utama with only one thing in mind: to purchase the soap.

Ah, there is just something about browsing the Christmas Stalls that makes my just want to buy stuff....

Update:

The first time I used this soap somewhere in December 2015, my hair turned out stringy, limp and flat. Sheesh..... I stayed away from using this product for about a month before I decided to give it another go. I discovered that using a bar soap as a shampoo needs some work as it is not as easy to get a lather going.

The most recent attempt was on Jan 24, 2016 and made sure to use a lot of lather on my hair and I washed it a few times as I had an hair oil serum which I applied overnight. The result was not ideal but a lot better than my first try (Thank God!). 

Just thought that it might be helpful for you to know that in order to prolong the life of my soap, I cut it into smaller pieces and not use the entire bar. I also put the smaller pieces in a D.I.Y. mesh shower pouch which helps me in sudsing up the soap. I can hang it up to dry on the towel rack after my shower so that the soap can air dry and not melt away if left moist and damp in a soap dish.

MooGoo Milk Shampoo and Conditioner

I've been using the MooGoo Milk Shampoo for the past three months now.

What I like about MooGoo Milk Shampoo

• It's nasties free --- no SLS, no parabens, no ..................... 
• It works at reducing itching scalp caused by dandruff which makes it a mild anti-dandruff shampoo though it does take a few washes before you feel its effects.
• It smells nice :)
• Although it may initially seem to cost a bomb when compared to the nasty shampoos that they sell in the pharmacies and supermarkets, it's actually good value for money when compared to other safe shampoo brands as you get a 500ml bottle for the around same price (if not less) as the other safe shampoo brands that give you only 200/ 250 ml only. 

What's not so great about MooGoo Milk Shampoo 

• It can get to be runny in consistency sometimes (depending on the batch that you get)
• It leaves my hair looking greasy and flat looking :(

What I like about MooGoo Conditioner

• The bottle comes with a pump dispenser (don't know why the Milk Shampoo doesn't come with a pump dispenser)
• It smells nice :)
• It enhances the natural curls in my hair.

What I don't like about MooGoo Conditioner

• It doesn't take the tangles out of my long wavy hair. I get knots in my hair after using this product and recently, my hair was so tangled that I had to resort to using my old nasty conditioner just to detangle my hair!

Would I purchase the products again?
I would probably repurchase the shampoo again for it's anti-dandruff effectiveness until I find another safe shampoo that would work on my hair without leaving it greasy and flat looking. I don't think I'll be repurchasing the conditioner again though. The search for an affordable natural ingredients shampoo and conditioner that would work for my hair and scalp continues....sigh...
