[Cosmetics Review] Daiso - Collagen Hand Cream

Hi all, how are you? I'm back with another review! :D

This one's from one of the cheaper stores, but I got it so that I could do a review, and also because I was short on hand cream, haha~! It's $2.80 for anyone in Australia :)

For this Daiso hand cream range, there were 2 types. One was collagen (the one I got), and the other was hyaluronic acid. Both of them, in short, are supposed to make the skin softer and moisturized, along with making the skin more elastic.


Elegant looking?
Hand cream blob!

The cream comes in an easy squeeze plastic tube, which is decorated like those 20th century floral designs inside wealthy households. It gives off a kind of elegant feel...but at the same time it doesn't...^^;;


What it looks like after the cream is spread

For a product that I bought on a whim, it's not that bad. The smell is quite nice; a somewhat floral fragrance. The cream itself is white and is easy to spread, but the odd thing is, is that after spreading it on the hands, it starts to become thicker and harder to spread (kinda like a wax based product). I didn't really mind that, but it was annoying that it also became stickier as well, and I couldn't touch anything for about 5 minutes or so. Otherwise, my hands would become really smooth.

What I liked:
  • Fragrance
  • The nice touch at the end
What I disliked:
  • The thickness after spreading it once
  • Stickiness afterwards
  • "meh" packaging


Rating: ❤❤ 2/5

I wouldn't buy this again, only because I absolutely hate the stickiness and the waxiness when spreading. 
Hope this helped with your shopping ^_^

[Hair Care Review] Garnier Fructis - Miraculous Oil

Hi all~ here's a review for an Australian product! ^_^

This is a hair product, where there's some oils and it's supposed to be spread evenly throughout the hair. It's a great way to moisturize the hair and make it look glossy, touchable and soft. This product does just that :)

It's part of the Garnier Fructis range, and it's a leave in hair oil for all hair types, and the oil in the bottle is argan oil. It's claimed as a weightless oil, for instant nourishment and easier styling. It says that you can put it on everyday. 

Let's start with the packaging. It's a clear bottle one, but it has a golden yellow transparent bottle where the oil resides, and a top is a green plastic that can be pushed down so that the oil comes out. It's much cleaner than a dispenser, I think. I really like the packaging.


A very orange bottle, you can say xD


The back

The oil is clear, and isn't very "oily". It's not really that thick either, which I really like. The best thing is, is that the scent of this product is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I tell you, this has the best fragrance. I love it!


A bit hard to see, since it's a bit clear


So after a few weeks of trial, I've come to a conclusion that this product works best the day after it's been put in the night before. So after washing the hair, spread it evenly, let it dry a bit, then sleep, wake up, brush hair, looks perfect, done! It also works too in the morning, but I think it's best when after having a good night's sleep. And waking up with amazing hair is something that everybody wants, isn't it? 

What I like:
  • Absolutely amazing scent
  • The oil isn't "oily"
  • Leaves the hair amazingly smooth and soft looking (feels like that too)
What I dislike:
  • Takes long-ish time to dry

Other than the only dislike, I really like this product and recommend for all to use ^_^

Wheeee hope this review helped! :)
