Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it.

So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product.

1. SMELL -

Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is the best-smelling mousse I've tried so far. Gosh. It smells like freshly-washed hair. I commend Dove for making their products so fragrant! Although, at some point, few hours after application, it does smell like a rusted can or a chemical burning somewhere.

2. CONSISTENCY -

Very similar to a whipped cream. Other mousse tend to be on the watery side, but not this one. It upholds to the term "whipped cream".

3. USAGE / RESULTS

Lemon-sized amount for each side of the hair. I use this after putting a bit of Monea curl defining milk lotion on my hair.
If you use this after and/or together with curl defining milk lotion, it will act as a gel and it can hold curls up to four hours. Putting too much will harden the hair (just like that of a gel) so use it sparingly if you don't want stiff hair.
Use this alone (and sparingly), it will create soft airy curls without much definition.

4. PRICE + AVAILABILITY

300plus pesos at Watsons (or any other beauty store nationwide)

All in all, I think this is a great product. I love it, actually.

But, I am still on the look out for the best out there in the market. I do feel like there is still better product than this. But then, I'm happy this product did not fail me miserably.

One thing to point out though is that there is no one kind of curly hair so this product works differently on different people. It works differently everyday even on my hair. Also, be mindful of the condition of your hair, humidity, pollution, lifestyle etc.etc.So, basically, the results may vary.

Oh,and before I forget, if you are like me who loves to bring hair product on her bag, you might hate this one because the cap is always always coming off. Because of this defect, the nozzle has huge tendency to break,just like mine and I wasn't able to finish all the product in the can -- such a waste of money.

And of course, just like the rest of my reviews, I will leave you all with a little narcissist selfie. This is me few hours after applying Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse on my curly hair. I did not use any hai rstyling product on this pic, btw, just the Dove Mousse.

By the way, can please comment down below about your favorite hair styling product? I am really into hair phase right now and I would be very glad if you could recommend some wonderful products you've tried so far. And if you are like me who is on the curly side, can you suggest any hair product that I can use? Or your hair routine, maybe? I would really like to know and hear from you, I hope you can help me on my quest to find the perfect product for my hair.

Okay. So, that's just about it.

Thank you for droppin by my little web place.

See you on my next post.

Mwah~!!!

Pieces of My Month March

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have just realized that the first quarter of 2014 have passed and I am loving my year so far. There are times when I wish I could have done more but I guess it's better to give myself a pat on the back and celebrate my successes rather than being too harsh on myself. Sometimes, I tend to forget I can only do enough. First week of March, I was able to celebrate Fat Tuesday with my church friends. Fat Tuesday, if you have no idea what it is, is the day before Ash Wednesday--the start of Lenten season. Since Fat Tuesday is the day before fasting and abstinence, devout Catholics are having a merry gathering of food and laughter before pursuing a month of sacrifice and soul-searching. Aside from the beginning of Lenten season, March also marks the start of summer. I had an early summer with my friends at Bakas River, Norzagaray, Bulacan. The place is such a marvellous tranquil, perfect for escaping the urban life. . ...

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

You Can't Eat Beauty

"My mother used to say to me, "You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you." And these words played and bothered me, I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant by saying that "you can’t eat beauty" was that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty enflames the heart and enchants the soul."

REVIEW: L.A. Girl Gel Liner

Hello hello hello! Three reviews in three consecutive days? Wow, this girl is on Fa-yah! Okay, let's do this. Today, I get a little overboard editing some of my photos through editing app called Decopic. Ang cute cute! Been wanting to put stamps on my photos, and I tried some apps but I can't seem to find the kawaii app that suits all my needs. Finally now I have Decopic. Ain't she lovely? I spent like hours tweaking my photos... Anyways--- (Sorry I forgot this is about an eyeliner, not an app. hihihi) Howell, been using this gel liner for two weeks now and I thought I might do a review on this one because (surprise surprise) I love it! I really haven't heard anything about this gel liner as compared to some popular drugstore gel liners such as from Wet n Wild and Maybelline so I don't have much expectation about this product. But then, as I use every single day, I am actually enjoying it. Mine is in brown shade. Well, I do prefer brown ...

Inspired by Mona Lisa Smile: Christian Dior Rouge Dolce Vita 014

Once a gay friend told me, "Red lipstick is so back then." I immediately replied back and told him a true lady would say otherwise. For a real woman, red lipstick is a timeless weapon to look and feel beautiful. My first lipstick is a red one and up until now, even if I have other shades of lipsticks, red will always be on my stash. So, today, I thought of highlighting the most precious red lipstick I own, my precious baby, Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014. Timeless as it is, the inspiration for today's lipstick is the movie The Mona Lisa Smile which is set in 1950's. Just like the girls in the movie, Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014 is not in-your-face retro red lipstick because it has a slight hint of orange. Source "That's a snapshot"- Mona Lisa Smile It has a semi-matte finish but very creamy, it glides smoothly on the lips when applied. This is not for the faint heart because it is too striking and...
