Avon Moroccan Argan Oil, Recenzija: Tretman i Maska

Pozdrav svima! Danas ću kratko pričati o dva proizvoda za kosu iz Avona koji pripadaju istoj kolekciji: Avon Moroccan Argan Oil. Čula sam dobre stvari o njima pa sam ih odlučila isprobati (isprobavam ih 6 mjeseci). Nosim Ombre frizuru pa imam oštećene vrhove i zato često isprobavam nove proizvode za njegu kose. Nedavno sam skratila kosu nekih 20ak centimetara, pa mi više nije tako oštećena, ali ipak mogu podijeliti s vama iskustva (tj. imaju li ovi proizvodi ikakav učinak na oštećenu kosu).

Tretman bez ispiranja s marokanskim arganovim uljem za sve tipove kose (30ml, 25kn) 

(Avon, Advance techniques, Moroccan argan oil, 360 nourishment, Leave-in treatment)

Avon kaže: ovaj tretman jača kosu, dubinski njeguje i zaglađuje čak i oštećenu kosu (ne!) te se trenutno upija i pruža kosi hidrataciju i sjaj. Kako koristiti: tretman ulijte na dlanove, jednakomjerno nanesite na vlažnu kosu prosušenu ručnikom. Ne ispirati.

E sad, kad sam kupila ovaj proizvod, tražila sam neko ulje za kosu koje bih stavljala na suhu kosu. Međutim, ovaj proizvod nije namijenjen takvoj upotrebi (ide samo na mokru kosu). To nije pisalo u katalogu, ali nema veze. Znači, uzela sam proizvod koji nisam zapravo tražila. Potrošila sam skoro polovicu proizvoda, i iskreno ga ne bi preporučila. Nije loš, ali nisam vidjela nikakve pomake. Prije nego sam skratila kosu, vrhovi kose bili su mi jako suhi. Ovaj proizvod nije mi zagladio kosu niti ju je učinio glatkom. Nisam vidjela nikakvu razliku. Sada kad sam se riješila tih ispucalih vrhova, s ovim proizvodom ili bez njega, izgledam isto. Inače, onaj Balein serum za kosu je učinio da moja oštećena kosa izgleda fenomenalno, ali nikakve slične rezultate nisam dobila od ovog proizvoda. Eto, nije me impresionirao. Fino miriši i brzo se upija, ali neku pravu razliku stvarno ne vidim. Jedva čekam da ga potrošim. Nema šanse da ću ovo kupiti ponovno. Ovaj tretman mogao bi biti dobar za vas ako nemate oštećenu kosu te želite neko lagano ulje koje će kosu samo malčice zagladiti. Meni s ovim proizvodom kosa i dalje izgleda ''frizzy''.

Maska za sve tipove kose s marokanskim arganovim uljem (150ml, 30kn)

(Avon, Advance techniques, Moroccan argan oil, 360 nourishment, mask)
Avon kaže da ova maska pruža intenzivan hidratantni tretman, te da kosu čini mekom (sve istina). Kako se koristi: nanijeti na mokru kosu, ostaviti da djeluje 5 minuta, isprati. E sada, ovaj proizvod mogu slobodno preporučiti. Definitivno primjećujem razliku: kosa je mekša, glatka i izgleda zdravije. Maska nije teška, i jako fino miriši (ali miris se izgubi nakon pranja). Definitivno uživam u ovom proizvodu, i puno mi bolje odgovara od bilo kojeg regeneratora. Preporučujem.

Dva proizvoda iz iste linije, jedan mi odgovara, drugi ne. Znam da je ova linija dosta popularna - jeste li isprobali koji ovaj proizvod i što mislite? Čitamo se ubrzo, 

xoxo, j.

Review: Avon, Black Mineral Mask

 This mask helps me get the sebum out of my pores and it helps keep my pores clean.

Type of product: Face mask - for oily skin
Brand: Avon
Product name: Avon Clearskin, Pore Penetrating, Black Mineral Mask
Price: around 26 kn
Rating: 10/10
Would I repurchase: Yes.
How to use: Apply a layer to clean face (not too thin layer, but not too thick either). The mask is black, but in about 10 minutes it will turn gray. When the mask turns gray, there are tiny black spots left - the places where oil has been 'dragged' out of the pores. When mask is light-gray, rinse it off with water. This product should be used 2-3 times a week.

My opinion: My skin is very oily, and this product is just what I've been needing. I like this mask better than the other Avon face mask I wrote about (link HERE). In fact, this might be my best Avon find. Before using this mask I'd look at my pores in the mirror, and they'd be oily and dark and full of sebum; this mask takes out most of the oil, leaving my pores clean and refreshed -and rosy pink. Using the mask is very easy, and it does not dry out my skin. It's not a miracle product, meaning you will not get brand new skin overnight, but it helps maintain and control the oil. If you want to see exactly how many pores you have and how large they are, this is for you - because when the mask turns gray, all the pores are visible, and you can see the sebum that's been dragged out. Anyways, I'm enjoying this product and it's become a part of my routine.
This product is for you if: If you have too much sebum, and oil-filled pores.
You should avoid this product if: If you're looking for a product to help fight acne. This mask will not cause any harm (it can only help), but I feel it's better fitted for those of us with enlarged and oily pores, not to fight acne.

Have you tried this product? I love it and I'll be so bummed if they take it out of the catalogue. Anyone out there fighting oily skin? Any other masks you might recommend me?

Avon Clearskin, Blackhead Clearing Mask - Review

Type of product: Face Mask
Brand: Avon, clearskin line
Name of product: Blackhead Clearing, Deep Treatment Mask
Price: 25-36 kn (75ml)
Where to purchase: Avon catalogue (item no. 1251 8)
Rating: 9/10
Would I repurchase: Yes.

How to use: Apply (baby blue) mask on clean face in a thin layer, wait until mask turns bright white - rinse with water. Use about 2-3 times a week.
Opinion: This face mask is designed to fight the blackheads - and I sure do have a big problem with these (I have oily skin and clogged pores). I can say that I do see a positive effect when using this mask: it draws the blackheads closer to the surface so it's easier to get them out. It's a little bit difficult to remove the mask, you have to wash your face a few times in a row. Also, make sure not to leave it on for too long because it could dry out your skin. All in all, with every use, my face is getting cleaner!
Conclusion: I love the effect this leaves on my skin - my skin is so clean and smooth. And it is cleaner - the blackheads are slowly decreasing in number and size.

So far I'm really enjoying most of my Avon products. Before this mask I had forgotten about face masks for a while, and I stopped using them (I do not know how the hell this happened). I now see how stupid I was and how important it is to use a face mask regularly in your cleaning routine. Are you an Avon fan? Have you tried their face masks? Or maybe some other mask you might recommend me? Anyways, thanks for stopping by, you can follow me on twitter, instagram and facebook (on facebook I usually write in croatian). Until next time,

xoxo, Jelena
