With the arrival of Spring and the sun slowly peeping through the clouds in Melbourne, it was only fitting to do an edit of liquid gold products. Compiled are products for the hair, face and body so without further ado!
The Jojoba CompanyJojoba Oil*
Oils for me in general are fairly hit and miss. I am obsessed with cleansing oils, I enjoy moisturising body oils but with facial oils it's a very meh thing. I do like them but they just don't cement themselves in my skincare routine as I don't think they do anything particularly amazing. Currently there are countless types of face oils on the market and jojoba was one I hadn't tried so when offered the chance, I thought it was a great time to see if this one could be any different.
When reading up on jojoba oil, it seems to be one of those oils you can use for almost everything on your body that can absorb it. On the packaging it says that it can moisturise skin, hair and nails which pretty much covers you from head to toe. I received the 30ml and I must say it is just so petite and cute - perfect for traveling. It is housed in a reallllyyy nice frosted glass container which I think makes it look a lot more expensive and feel a lot more sturdy. It has a pump (hollah) which I much prefer over the dropper and it just dispenses the right amount of product.
Out of all the places, I most enjoy using this oil on my body. This is one of the thinnest oils I've tried and it just absorbs really nicely into the skin leaving it really soft and nourished. There is no business with sticky residue and it applies perfectly fine on wet and dry skin. On the face, I prefer mixing this with my moisturiser rather than applying it directly. Using this only at night, as I find it is a bit too much for daytime, this adds that extra bit of moisture to your skin. Whilst I do like the added hydration, I don't think it has done really anything else for my skin (although I have only used this for a month). My least favorite place to put this is on my hair. When I first applied it, I didn't mind it until I slept on it the next day and my hair just turned into a oily mess. I think this is the fact that I have really thin hair it just absorbed it so much that my hair ended up being really piece-y and weighed down. I think this could work a lot better with those with thick hair but unfortunately not for thin :(. To sum it up, yay for skin but nay for hair.
Moroccan Oil
This has probably been mentioned/reviewed/featured so many times that I'm not going to go much into detail but I love this oil. It really makes my ends feel a lot more nourished and soft. I put two pumps into my hair and it seriously does not weigh it down at all or make it feel greasy. You must have this in your life!
Toni&Guy Glamour Mousse
Mousse is something I use whenever I want to do a natural beach wave look to my hair. Whenever I think about mousse, I think of crunchy, clumped hair but this is far from that. It styles my hair, giving it a nice hold for my curls without being sticky at all. The holding power of this is ok, not amazing but it does do the job. It has the traditional Ton&Guy smell and is very light and easy to work with. You do have to give it a really big shake before using this or else your ball of mousse comes out liquid-esque and not as thick and foamy.
