 Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo Conditioner Product Review

As I mentioned sometime back, I had started with the #HappyHairChallenge and I had asked you to guess the products! So, yes, you are right. It is Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition and let us see how is my hair doing after 15 days of using the products!

My Biggest Hair Problem

As I mentioned, I had been searching for my HG shampoo after a stint with Organic Surge. For now, let us see how it is doing.

I did not use any other products except for hair oils and shampoo and conditioner duo, not even the leave-in or any other after-wash treatment.

Split Ends

See, the sad truth about splits is that nothing can repair it. So, do not believe any claims on this ground. No, I need a hair cut.

Itchy Scalp

I do not have hair fall issue or hair breakage problem but what I do have itchy scalp. My scalp starts itching badly after two days of wash. So, I need to take care of my scalp better. And, the shampoo has not made any change to it.

Dry Hair, Undernourished Hair, Rough Hair, Dull Hair?

Hair looks bouncy and healthy for almost a day and half after a wash but gradually becomes drier after that. And, it does not give a lot of shine to the hair. The hair does look healthy after the wash.

Soft Hair

Hair has, no doubt, become softer for any number of days after the wash!

Frizziness

And, the finale! Yes, it helps with the frizz.

Also, I have to add that the weather has become warmer and less drier so it is also having a good effect on the hair.

Summary

There is not much a shampoo and conditioner duo can do for the hair so I can safely say that it is doing all that it claims – making the hair soft and shiner as in healthier. Since my hair is not really weak, I can not talk about it improving the strength and, anyways, only new hair can be stronger not the existing ones!

Also, can not really comment on the split ends part because there were already a pretty lot of splits in my hair which I did not get rid of. One thing I would like to add here is that the ends of my hair before using these products were looking straw-like which has, since then, improved. Final review coming in the end of this month.

So, that is my hair condition right now. Let us see how much the product helps to improve it! Have you used the Garnier Triple Nutrition? Did it improve your hair? Did you like the range? Or, do you love some other shampoo?

Forest Essentials Soundarya Advanced Serum for anti-aging skin care Product Review

Lets not call this a review because it has been almost a year since I have finished the product! I was looking through the blog photographs for product reviews when I came across these snaps. Since I have never seen any review of this product, I thought I would at least do a quickie mention of it.

This is the most expensive product I have bought till date and that was only because it was my wedding and I could indulge in a bit of luxury. I always had an eye on this product. Well, it says it has gold so who will not be interested, right?
And, did I receive any compliments when I used it? I guess yes when I had just started using it but then I was drinking coconut water also that time 😀 Now, did the gold in the product do anything for my skin? Well, I am really not sure about that neither do I think the gold displayed any anti-aging properties!

Ingredients

The pic is a little darker so here is the transcript!

Cold Pressed Sesame Oil (40%), Clarified Ghee (18%), Sweet Almond Oil (16%), Cow’s Milk (9.2%), Liquorice (4%), Shirish (3%), Vansh (3%), Turmeric (2%), Saffron (1.5%), Sandalwood Essential Oil (1%), Ashwagandha (1%), Methi (1%), 24 Karat Gold Bhasma (0.3%)

  • Price: Rs 2750 for 25ml (very expensive!)
  • Availability: Online on various websites, Forest Essentials Stores and Outlets
  • Packaging: Very elegant but actually it is plastic. I would have preferred a glass packaging.
  • Fragrance: Had the fragrance of the product bothered me, I would have surely remembered it! So, I guess it might have been fine.
  • Texture: As you can see in the pic, the serum is not really dense. It does not leave behind that oily feeling.

Usage and Results

Now I do not really remember all the details.
One to two pumps of the product is enough to cover the face and neck. Because of the expense, you would obviously be judicious in using the product. Also, any more can get oily, depending on your skin type! I do not remember whether it is enough to moisturise your skin.
The results are not visible immediately but yes the skin gets plumper. The effects on the aging lines and fine lines might take sometime to show. My skin did look glowing in the initial days of using the product but I am not very sure how long it lasted though!

My Verdict

What I remember thinking was that it is more of a luxurious buy. But, honestly said, that would not deter me from buying the product again, if I have the dough to spare. For now, I am contending myself by finishing the products in my over-flowing shelf!
