Macadamia Nourishing Leave-In Cream




Well hello,

you might have noticed I don´t write a lot about hair products here on my blog. That is because when I find something that works for my hair, I tend to stick to it. But every once in a while I go all bold and  try something new. Sometimes it is all worth it and this would be one of those times. I guess I should do that more often.

To be honest, this time the question wasn´t really if it works, more so if it works good enough to be worth the splurge. I tried quite a few Macadamia Natural Oil products before, some of them are my holy grail products. And I just had to try some more. I picked up Nourishing Leave-In cream and believe it or not it almost replaced my Deep Repair Masque. A part of the reason for that is my lack of time/laziness recently but also it works just about the same. Only it is so much easier and faster to use, also quite a bit cheaper.




Lately I have been using my drugstore conditioner (I have quite a few favourites, if you want me to write a post about them let me know in the comments) and on a towel dried hair just a little bit of Macadamia Leave-In Cream. Very little amount is enough, it absorbs like heaven and it leaves the hair silky and smooth, for days. I was amazed with the result. Even if you use to much it doesn´t show at all. My hair appears healthy and smooth and it looks like I straighten my hair, without the damage of actually using the flat iron. It really is impressive product. It has that really nice Macadamia product smell it almost reminds me of a bubble gum. I just can´t get enough.

Have you tried this amazing Leave-in cream? Do you prefer Deep repair masque? Let  me know.



Love,

Dove




Well hello,


I am sure you are no stranger to Dove brand, but it seems to me it doesn´t get a lot of love here in the blogging world. I feel it is one of the best skin/body care drugstore brands for sure. I am in love with many of their products as I keep repurchasing the same things over and over again. And I wanted to share my love for them to you all.

I have very dry skin, especially on my hands. (although my face apparently didn´t get the memo, Ha ha) In the winter time it usually gets so bad, that if I don´t use a hand cream,  my skin cracks and  it burns as hell. But not every cream helps. Correction, I rarely find one that does. Dove intensive nourishment hand cream does more than that. It leaves the skin feel very smooth and silky. And it lasts what it feels like forever. Most hand creams that I have tried I had to reapply every time I washed my hands, which is a pain. With this one, it´s unnecessary. Also it´s impressive how fast it absorbs into the skin. I just hate holding my hand in the air (like I just don´t care, Ha ha) and wait for it to dry. I am so impatient, I know. It claims to instantly soothe dry, rough hands and lasts up to 24 hours. I actually agree with this statement. Good job, Dove.



Another gem from this brand is their silky nourishing body cream. I usually use it right after I get out of the shower and it makes my skin feel so soft, even the next day. It really works amazing. I have tried a lot more expensive, cuter and better smelling (my fave scent is strawberry) body butters from The Body Shop, but in my opinion Dove wins all the way. Even though it doesn´t smell like anything fancy, it has this clean, creamy smell. I don´t know how else to describe it, but it´s nice. Also very affordable.






What is your fave body cream/butter brand?




Love,
