Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Scrunching Gel Review

Hello Dears,

I hope everyone has been having a great February thus far. It's been ok for me, I do have some events coming up that I will make posts about later in the month. But today I bring to you a review on a product that I was hoping would help my naturally curly hair but I was wrong XD. It might work for others whose hair is not so thick and unruly but it did not work for me.

So, I bought this gel hoping that it would tame my curls and smooth some of the major frizz I have. The texture is a bit stickier than other gels I have tried. It would provide a small amount of smoothing for my frizz but after an hour or so, I noticed my hair would puff out again and become like an afro. I know some might like that but I personally do not. I would run my fingers through my hair and it felt dry, sticky, and just unpleasant. I also tried to use this as an edge tamer when my hair is straight and it held for a little while before the frizz started to come back again.

The only thing I really enjoyed from this product was the smell. Herbal Essences makes products that smell wonderful but they do not always work for different hair textures. I don't know if I would buy this product again. But if I did, I would go for the maximum strength which is number 3 and see if the strength makes a difference for my hair.

Overall, this gel did not work for me but I am willing to give it a second chance if I can get the maximum strength one. If you gals have any suggestions for a scrunching gel that's good for curly hair then please let me know!

Lorac Porefection Baked Powder Review

Hello Dears!

Today I bring you a review on the Lorac porefection baked powder. First off, the packaging is really nice. It's very sleek and has a mirror like shine to it. But because of that, you can easily see the finger prints left behind after touching it. The mirror inside the compact is a nice size.

The product itself is dome shaped because it's baked. The texture is very smooth but has a slight clay like feel to it. It's nothing to worry about because once the powder is on your skin you cannot feel it. The powder has salicylic acid in it, so if you have oily or acne prone skin this really helps. It can be applied dry or wet. I have tried both ways and both give you good coverage. Applying wet gives a bit more coverage and helps hide some dark spots.

I have used this as a stand alone powder foundation and as a setting powder. It works wonders both ways. The only issue with this product is that there are not a varieity of shades to choose. So if you're a darker gal you may have an issue with this.
