Sasa.com Lucky Bag of Gorgeousness

Hey everyone, sorry I've been MIA so long! I started school and I'm now happily in the Vet Tech Program!!! I'm taking 17 credits this semester, so yeah... I've been busy! Midterms are coming up in a couple of weeks so it might be some time before you hear from me again! But that's not what this blog is about! This blog is about the lucky bag I recently bought at Sasa.com. I got the bag of Gorgeousness... hoping for makeup, but I'm very happy with what I was sent.

So here it is... "Unboxing"/ first impression of Sasa's Lucky Bag of Gorgeousness.

A lucky bag, for those who haven't heard the term, is a bag that you order and you have no idea what's in it. You basically get several products to try, generally sample sizes, and you do get to choose them, but its still kinda fun to see what your going to get. I bought this for 29$. So here's what I got...

Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief: 

"Light, comfortable cream/gel plumps skin with hydration for a full 24 hours. Fine lines, flakiness and tightness are washed away. In their place—a sense of supple, firm, vibrant well-being, even through shifts in humidity. One ‘drink’ and skin looks and feels happier, healthier. Oil-free." ~ Quoted from Clinique.com.

I have the 15ml jar, which is the second smallest jar Sasa offers... which I'm glad, because its large enough to try without being stuck with extra if I dislike it. This jar is 9 dollars at Sasa and 25$ at the original price. Clinique doesn't offer a container this small on their website.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel:
This is the yellow bottle in the picture. I received the 30ml tube, which isn't listed on either the Clinique or the Sasa site. So I can't give you an price for it. However... a 50ml tube of this product was 20$ on Sasa and 13$ on the Clinique site... so thats weird that Clinique is cheaper, but it proves a point about shopping around!

"The oil-free moisture “drink” developed by Clinique’s dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance for skins comfortable in the cheeks but oily in the T-zone or oily all over. Oil-free formula softens, smooths, improves. 1.7 fl. oz."~ Quoted from Clinique.

Clinique Rinse-off Foaming Cleanser:
This is the pink/lilac tube in the picture. I got the 30ml tube, which, again, isn't listed on either site. A 50ml tube at Sasa costs $7.10 and the only size Clinique offers is $19.50, but it doesn't say how much the tube contains.

"Foamy cream-mousse cleanser removes long-wearing makeup and sunscreens quickly, gently, efficiently. Comforts with soothing botanicals. Leaves skin feeling moist, clean, fresh. A great value, too: concentrated formula is long-lasting. Ophthalmologist Tested." ~ Quoted from Clinique.

Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-off Formula:
This is the green tube in the picture. This is $5.80 at Sasa and $18.50 for an untold amount at Clinique.

"Nudges away roughness, flakiness to refine skin. Helps lessen the appearance of fine lines. Clears the way for moisture. Suitable for all skin types. " ~ Quoted from Clinique.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel:
This is the small pink tube in the picture. This is 7ml and while neither Sasa or Clinique offer a container this small on the website, but a 15ml container is $26.10 on Sasa, and Clinique doesn't seem to carry this product anymore, at least, not on their site.

Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie:

This is the color Mango-thon, its a very red mango, but looks really natural on the lips and is a really pretty color. Currently, this is the only color Sasa offers, but I'm sure they'll get more soon. This is $4.50 at Sasa, but $17.50 at Clinique. Clinique describes this color as "a soft burnt orange with golden shimmer" and I have to agree. I dislike the screw-bottom, brush tip type of containers for lipgloss/liquid lipstick, but I must say that this one works pretty well. Though I did have to twist it about twenty times before it would produce any product! x.x... But the product itself is really good. I love the color, the consistency is pleasant; not very sticky and pretty smooth, it leaves lips soft looking and feeling, the glitter is very small and I can't feel it on my lips, and I think that for $4.50 this is definitely worth buying!


So I haven't tried all of these products, just the lip color, but I'll post singular reviews on these products later.

Sasa Haul 5/13/11

I received my package Thursday; it shipped within a week and a half of ordering.
My order total was 47.50, so minus $6 for shipping, I spent 41.50 on these products.

I'll go into detail about these products later. I'll just show you them for now. CLICKABLE PICTURES!!!! ^.^

The first thing I ordered was Two Girls Living Rose Cream. This was the miniature jar;  I always recommend getting sample sizes, otherwise you run the risk of spending a lot of money on a product you can't use. Especially if you have sensitive skin. This was $2.10.

Next I got the C+M Green Tea Whitening and Firming Eye Cream. I've wanted to try this since the first time I saw it on Sasa in February.

This was $4.20 for 20ml

I reordered the Mentholatum Hand Veil Whitening Cream, which if you've been reading, you'll know I love!!!

I ordered the C+M Anti Wrinkle Whitening Cream. Recently I've been noticing smile lines forming under my eyes, probably because I don't drink enough water and I stay up all night. I also have freckles right under my eyes, since you can't really put sunscreen under your eyes. This is my reason for ordering so many whitening and hydrating products. I have used this under my eye and it works perfectly fine.

This was $2.80 for 10 ml.

Next I bought SkinFood Agave Cactus Sun BB Cream. This product has an SPF rating of 36 and a PA rating of +++, which means it offers strong protection from UVA rays. I got this in color #1, which is a bit yellow.

But the cap is really pretty! I got this for $18.70.

C+M Over Night White Moisture Emulsion is next, which is 65ml and was an amazing $2.50!!!  THAT'S AMAZING!!!

Next, which shocked me, is the Arbutin Whitening Serum from Genie in a Bottle. This was 30 ml at $8.40, and Sasa says its a four piece. Here's what I thought it would be... Four tiny bottles of serum, all adding up to 30ml. Here's what I received....

All four of these bottles are 30ml... Together they equal 120ml of product.... Of Whitening SERUM!!! Can you believe it? I can't.... Or at least I couldn't when I opened the package!!! At $8.40 that's a phenomenal price. And the bottles are super pretty, I just wish they came with instructions on how to open them. And a lot of the ingredients are super yummy! I can't wait to try these!!

Mentholatum Hand Veil Spf 15

I bought this from Sasa.com a couple of months ago. I was worried that it contained mentholatum, but it doesn't.

Ingredient List:

• Urea (An organic ingredient found in Teeth whitening products, skin creams, ect. mainly used in dermatology to rehydrate the skin.)
• Sodium Hyaluronate (also used in hydration)
•  Daucus carota (Wild Carrot.)

• Aloe Barbadensis (Common Aloe, for hydration and cell restoration.)
• Olea europaea (Olive Oil)
•  Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba Oil)
•  Hydrolyzed Keratin (Similar to Lanolin)
• Prunus armeniaca (Apricot, could be apricot seed oil, which is great for hydrating the skin.)
• Butylene Glycol (Skin conditioner. Type of organic alcohol.)
• Phenyl dimethicone (Silicone derivative.)
• Glycine (Buffering agent.)

• Ricinoleate (Ricinoleic Acid. Unsaturated Omega 9 fatty Acid. Comes from Castor plant.)

• BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene. Used as an antioxidant.)
• Alcohol (Solvent)

• Polyglyceryl Pentaoleate (Skin conditioner and emollient.)
• PEG-1 Distearate (Thickener.)
• Mulberry Bark Extract.
• Arbutin

NOTE: I'm not sure how complete this list is. Please double check if you have any concerns. If you happen to find anything please let me know! Thanks.

I really like this hand cream. It contains Spf 15 which is nice, especially since it's a whitening hand cream. Contains Arbutin and Mulberry, which both lighten freckles and scars. Since I've been using this cream, I've noticed significant results in the look of the backs of my hands. My freckles have lightened and the tone is more even.

This cream absorbs really quickly and hasn't caused any irritation. It makes my hands super soft and smooth. As far as I've noticed, it doesn't leave a greasy residue, but it does have a mild residue which is mostly noticed when my hands get wet. Its not terribly annoying, but I could see some people having issues with it.

The fragrance isn't terrible, in scent or in power. Its a very mild, sweet scent, and once this cream absorbs it's completely unnoticeable.  

Price wise, this is very affordable! I bought this at Sasa.com for $2.50.


Overall, this is one of my favorite products so far. So 10 out of 10.

Mentolatum... What is it?

Mentholatum... the chemical, not the brand, is a product that used to be in Vics. I believe it still is. This substance is actually the product of two chemicals menthol and petrolatum. I have a pretty bad reaction to these two products when their together. I can use Petroleum products and I can use products with Menthol, but when these two combine it just overloads my skin. Not in an acne way, I get acne-like bumps and I get headaches. I have no idea why this happens, but it does.

Vov Daily Fresh Wash Off Pack: Berry and Berry

This pack works really well! I just wish it smelled like berries! This pack was so inexpensive! $1.40 for the package, and you can get two-five uses from it. To use this product you apply it to a freshly exfoliated face (for better absorption), and allow 15-20 minutes before washing it off. Vov is a Korean brand, so the instructions and ingredient list is in Korean. But this pack is supposed to be lifting and tightening for the skin. After washing it off, my skin was softer, smoother, more supple, and more translucent.

I guess I understand the phrase "Translucent", though in English it doesn't make sense in a positive light. Usually, to have translucent skin means to have anemia. To have very visible veins is a sign of anemia. Once I believed that "transparent skin" meant clear. Like to have clear skin. But now I see that it means supple, bright, and vibrant skin.

I bought this pack at sasa.com

Review: Boscia Luminizing Black Mask

I love this product!!! Its really refreshing on the face, when first applied, it feels really cooling. I use this even though I have sensitive skin, but I have no idea how this will work for other people. I don't find that this peel mask unclogs pores, but for healing acne and purifying the skin I find that it works really well. This is a peel mask, so you will have to be careful when removing it, and you are supposed to use it twice a week. I do find that this works better than a lot of the other peel masks I've used. It significantly smooths and softens my skin without being too harsh. I bought this online from Bosciaskincare.com, for $34. This comes in a 2.8 oz tube. 9 out of 10 because of the price tag!!!

Gatsby Hair Products.... For Women???

If you are at all familiar with Asian products, you will have heard about Gatsby Moving Rubber by Mandom. I have personally tried most of the products except for the Technical Design Clay, the hair waxes, and the Mobile versions of the original products. I really like a lot of the products in the line, in America we identify them by their colors, but the products do have names. Yellow is Nuance Motion, Bright Blue is Cool Wet, Dark Grey/Black is Technical Design Clay, Grey is the Grunge Mat, Red/Pink is Spiky Edge, Purple/Lavender is Wild Shake, Orange is Loose Shuffle, and Bright Green is Air Rise. I'm pretty sure they all have the shampoo-y apple scent. I don't know about the Tech Design though. The scent is pretty soft, but can become a bit bothersome. I just ordered the Tech Design as well as reordered some of my faves, and I will be doing a series of vids on how to use these with long hair. I have found these to retail about $10-15, but it really depends on where you can find them... check Ebay they're a bit cheaper there.

Nuance Motion(Yellow) - Very malleable... You can pretty much move this around all day. This is a typical pomade sort of product, texture wise. Its not greasy, but can be a bit waxy... The waxiness could be because I'm using too much product though. I don't mind the waxiness, because it doesn't stay in my hair and I can just wash it out... Now, my hair is waist long and pretty fine. I like to use this product is when I have my hair up and need to add volume.

Spiky Edge(Red) - This is for Short hair. This doesn't work as well for me because when it sets it hardens a bit and I've found it to be chunky... But this IS for really short hair so... yeah.

Wild Shake(Purple) - Short to medium short styles. I love this one! Its really great for volumizing and for a more wild tousled look, especially great for beach waves!!! I love this one for volume and texture.

Loose Shuffle(Orange) - Short to Medium long hair. This one worked better on my hair so I recommend it to people with long hair. Adds great movement and dimension. Also great for beach waves.

Air Rise(Green) - For Medium short to medium long hair. I like this one too, its great for really bouncy volumized hair. Adds quite a bit of control so its great for holding curls.

Cool Wet(Blue) - Short to medium long. I remember not liking the finish of this... But I've never like the constantly wet hair style... In my opinion it makes people look like a drowned puppy.... Idk I just get that... I would only use a little of this on top of my hair for shine.

Grunge Mat(Light Grey) - Extremely short to medium short. I like this one for adding texture.

Part of my E.L.F order that didn't turn out well.

I also ordered the Translucent Matifying Powder.. but it came shattered! Its completely unusable! The powder got EVERYWHERE!!! Including on my pants. I've contacted E.L.F, and while they don't do returns... I can get a new one. I'm glad because I really wanted to try this product. This was $3.

E.L.F Package First Impression!

Here's what I ordered:

Eyelash curler:... this is the first one I've ever owned or used. It came with an extra silicone pad which is really considerate! This was from their studio line. I bought this for $3.

Mineral Eyeshadow primer: This was $3

Shimmer eyeliner pencil: I got two of these one in Bandit, which is black with subtle sparkle, and the other in Twinkle Teal, a green shimmer, foiled color. I love these, just trying them, they are so smooth! There's a sharpener in the cap, which is nice if your traveling. These were a dollar each.

Eye Widener: Basically a shimmery white eyeliner. Its SO SMOOTH!!! The color is beautiful! I can't wait to use this! This was also a dollar!

Clarifying Pressed Powder: I got this in Ivory. It's a matte powder, its so smooth and seems to have pretty good coverage, but I got this to use as a setting powder. I think it will work wonderfully for this. It came with a puff, but I think a brush will work better. This was a dollar!

High Definition Powder: This also cam with a puff, but I'll also be using a brush with it. There's powder on the container, which isn't very professional. It shows that this wasn't packaged correctly and its a waste of product! I know this is fairly cheap, but no one wants to waste money. The powder is white, which means that it won't muddy foundation, like Mineral Veil does. I think the powder will work perfectly as a setting powder. Its very smooth. I bought this for $6

Body Glow: This is one of E.L.F.'s new products. This also came with a puff and I might use it since brushes can buff away the powder and transfer it very easily. This was packaged really well! I like the container. The powder is really shimmery! Its sort of a pale gold and you get SO much product. This was $6.

Natural Radiance Blusher: I was a little confused on how to open it, but I finally figured it out. It opens like a drawer, but its really had to open! In fact I just cut myself trying to get it open. Please, if you get this be vary careful getting if open, I literally just cut a chunk out of my skin. As a company, you probably don't want to make your costumers bleed trying to get your product open. If you do get it open, don;t let it click when you close it. I got this in the color Glow. Its such a beautiful color, but the container is so small! But for a dollar, how much product can you expect. Powder is very nice, great pigmentation, very smooth powder. I think this will blend really well!

Studio Blush: I got three of these at $3 each. The containers are great! They resemble NARS packaging. It comes with a little mirror. You get quite a lot of product. The texture of the powder is great! The first color I got is Peachy Keen, its not quite as pigmented, and its more of a glow-y color. I think it will be great for a subtle look, the color is more brown than peach, but I can use this as a bronzer! The next is Tickled Pink, I LOVE this color! I wish the color payoff was better, but its matte. This is my first matte blush, I think it will be interesting to use. The last color is my favorite!!! Its a color called Blushing Rose. It looks really dark, but its so beautiful. A red rose color with gold-ish micro glitter. Color pay off is really good! The color is amazing on the skin, but the glitter doesn't come through as much as I'd like. This color is a little iridescent, which is what most people would call duo-chrome. I love it!

Shimmering Facial Whip: I think this product can be used so many different ways! I'm really excited about it! I have the color Lilac Petal. You could use this by mixing it with your tinted moisturizer or foundation to make it dewy(I think e.l.f suggests this.), You could use this as a lip tint, either by mixing it or using it on it's own, a high light, eye shadow base, ect! Consistency is nice and creamy, and its very light, it blends well. It has a great smell, very subtle orange. I wish the lilac came out more. This was a dollar!

Lip lock Pencil: This is just a translucent lip liner, I'm not sure how it will work, but I think its really interesting! I just opened it and it broke... I'm not even sure how. I think I can still work with it, but it sucks that it broke... I think its because the packaging doesn't fit securely around the product... There's a lot of space around the product! Which is weird because this is one of their studio products. This was $3.

Sunscreen/skincare types

1) Sunscreen should be the first product you apply; sunscreen needs to be touching your skin to be effective. So apply your sunscreen, then your moisturizer.

2) Mind your spf... spf denotes how long you can stay in the sun and how well that sunscreen will cover you. Example: spf of 15: if it takes you 5 min to burn in the sun without sunscreen, with a sunscreen of 15, you can stay in the sun for 15 times that, so 75 min. The protection an spf 15 sunscreen will give you is about 88%. Spf 30: coverage is about 95%. ect, ect.

3) A cotton tee-shirt gives you an spf of 15.

4) Reapplication is absolutely necessary.

5) Higher the spf... the thicker the formula. I use about 85-95 spf, because I am so fair and I don't mind the texture. I actually use a spray on, Bananaboat in spf 85, and its more of an oil consistancy, which absorbs really well.

6) If you have acne, use a water-based or oil free sunscreen.

7) Sunscreen lotions spread easier than creams.

8) Use a sunscreen even in winter.

9) Makeup and moisturizers with spf DOES protect you from the sun, but it must the the first thing you put on your skin! So if you have a moisturizer with spf 15, since that it usually what you apply first you are getting that protection, but your makeup with spf 15 won't be effective in giving you sun protection. Your still protected by your moisturizer though.

10) Make sure you use enough product to evenly cover your entire body. About 1 oz is enough for your entire body. When I went to the Caribbean, I emptied my 8 oz bottle of Bannnaboat in about a day and a half... I re-applied every two hours or so... which is necessary for proper sun protection.

11) Re-application is necessary even if your sunscreen says that its waterproof.

12) It takes about 30 min for your sunscreen to take full effect once its applied.

Products I'm Loving... November 2010

Again... in no particular order.

Aura: Daily Shampoo in Pure. I love the scent, its sweet and spicy! It cleans really well and makes your hair really shiny. about $8

Nexxus: Therappe. I love this shampoo! Out of the bottle its super thick, but it cleanses really well and it smells AWESOME!!! Like coconuts!I think it hydrates my hair really well. about $12.

Nexxus: Humectress Luxe Leave in Spray. The scent is fruity, but it dissipates really quickly. It moisturizes without weighing down your hair, and it leaves your hair really shiny and clean looking. Its a bit pricey though. $12 for 5.1 fl oz...

Softsoap: Ultra Rich Shea Butter Creme Body Wash. I love the scent...its really pleasant and natural smelling. Its really thick, and cleanses and moisturizes really well. $3.

Aveeno: Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser. This cleanser doesn't really foam, I mean it does but the foam disappears almost immediately. What I love about this product is that it reduces redness really well!!! Its amazing, I'll wash my face and maybe 10 mins later my face will be almost the exact same tone... all over!! $8

Buxom Big Healthy Lip Polish: Ginger

This is a review of Bare Mineral's Buxom Big Healthy Lip Polish in Ginger. For a Lip Plumper, I love this!!! Its stimulating, but soothing and hydrating at the same time!!! Its not sticky, has an amazing glass-like finish, and even though Ginger is a sheer Lip Polish, the color payoff is really good! This Lip plumper really works well for plumping the lip. I payed 18 dollars for this product and for the amount and the effect, its worth every penny!!! Definitely recommend this product! 10 out of 10

Today is My First Time Selling on Ebay!!!

I'm selling all of the Unopened Bare Minerals makeup and other products, that I simply can't use... My items are under Ladydeath777...

Review: Bare Minerals Foundation

I have both Fair and Fairly Light, neither of them work very well on me. Their both too dark. Even Mineral Vail is too dark on me and makes me look rather muddy. These foundations have no coverage and no staying power. They tend to be pretty drying, as well. I have the original, I haven't tried the matte, simply because I dislike the foundation and I really don't think its worth the money. 2 out of 10

Review: Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Foundation

This is one of the worst products I've ever bought!! And the thing is that everyone loves this stuff! I haven't read a bad review... So here's one! The color, mine is light, is sooooo muddy and dark, I can't use it since I never tan. The color is like orange-tan-ish brown. The product is runny... watery. It just pours out of the tube and you can never get the right amount. Its like seven dollars, but I could have saved that for something else... I've used this with a primer, which thickens it slightly, but it tends to sink into the pores without primer. Its very drying!!! Honestly, I can't say much else about this foundation since I didn't keep it on my skin for more than a half hour! It really sucks, cause I LOVE Revlon products! Sorry Revlon, maybe have a Super Light... then we'll talk. 1 out of 10

Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation... and my comment to another blogger.

I commented this to Alienman at http://goldfishcake.com I thought I stated it pretty well, so I'm copying it here, and hoping someone will comment and give me advice...

Okay so, I've been stalking this foundation for a while now, I'm not sure I'm ready to commit.... Especially if it turns out that it will be a gold digger and be a waste of money and time! The reason I want to try this is because I'm SUPER fair with neutral undertones, and this is the only company I've found that seems to have a shade that might fit me, and is full coverage. But, I am fair, and pale skin an sensitivity go hand in hand! I break out very easily, I have a lot of redness, and I have large pores around my nose. Illamasqua just got a paypal option, which is one reason I wasn't going to buy, but now my excuses are dwindling, and I'm getting pretty desperate for an AMAZING foundation...

Keep in mind this foundation is 21 euro for 30 ml... about 28 dollars, not to mention shipping... So I'd like it to be pretty perfect...

Cosmetic Acne

I believe I have cosmetic acne, probably from using an exfoliator that is too abrasive, and from using too many skin care products... Even natural skin care can cause cosmetic acne, and men can get this as well. Something to remember is.... not all oils will clog your pores... one of these is sunflower seed oil.

Right now I'm really hating my skin... I have acne all around my mouth area, this can be a sign of hormone imbalance, by the way, so it kinda looks like I have herpes..... Yay.... But I know for a fact that I don't have herpes, because I've been tested for it. I'm going to only wash my face once a week with a cleanser for a while and see how that works. Otherwise, I'll just use water...

My Favorite Skin Care Company!

Is, of course, Mario Badescu! Their products are pretty fantastic, and even though there upper end, they aren't very expensive... Mario Badescu

September/October Favorite Products 2010

This is just a break down of some of the products I've been using recently...

1) Suave Rosemary and Mint Shampoo and Conditioner: This is soooo cheap, yet sooo effective. It leaves my hair super smooth and the fragrance is fantastic! It cleanses really well and leaves my hair shiny and manageable. I bought both of these products for about $3.

2) Back to Nature Silk Serum: I've been loving this product, it makes my hair much less frizzy and protects really well. My hair is super glossy with this product, and I do feel that it helps my split ends. You can also use it on your body, which is nice, and it doesn't clog my pores. I usually use it on my hair and after I shave my legs. The fragrance is heavy, but pleasant, and is somewhere between petroleum jelly and lilac. Sounds weird, but its not terrible. A bottle of 6oz is $13.

3) Listerine Whitening strips: I love these. They haven;t caused me any sensitivity problems and they work really well. They do make my mouth sticky afterward, so you might consider brushing afterward. These were $13.

4) Arm & Hammer Whitening Booster: This product is used with toothpaste and is really effective at whitening one's teeth. It was pretty cheap too. This was $7.

5)Listerine Whitening Pen: I Love this product, you can use it right after lunch or whenever you feel like you need to freshen up. It makes your teeth feel super smooth and whitens really well. This was $7.

6) Pond's Cleansing Towelettes: I Love how these smell. I have the Evening Soothe fragrance. It removes all of my makeup, even waterproof mascara, and they leave my skin feeling really refreshed and cleansed. These were about $3.

7) Lash Stiletto Voluptuous: I love this formula. It lengthens and the color is pitch black. The wand is a little awkward to use sometimes, but its still a great product. This was $8.

8) L'oreal colour Riche Lipstick: I have this product in Royal Red. The pigmentation is incredible and I love the texture! It smells like sweet red roses and is super conditioning. I think this was about $7.

Ojon Hair Care: Review

I actually really like these products... More than I thought I would. I went online, read some reviews, and finally made up my mind to buy it. I went to ebay for this purchase, payed about half I would otherwise, and got my package in about a week.

Here's what I bought:
Thickening Shampoo 8.44 oz (22.00)
Thickening Conditioner 8.44 oz (24.00)
Restorative Hair Treatment 3.1 oz (originally 21.00)

For all three of these products, I paid about 25.00, so that's a much better price. If you want to try this line, be sure to go to ebay!!! But always do your homework when shopping there, and go for the top ranking sellers.

The Shampoo:
Sort of a creamed corn yellow. I love the scent, its like wildflowers... Cleanses well. The only problem I had was that the bottle always cuts my fingers/hand. Be careful with that, its really sharp!! I didn't notice any thickening, but I didn't get this product for that. 10 Stars

The Conditioner:
Bright Green. Thick consistency, almost too thick, I had to add water to be able to get it out of the bottle!! Love the scent, again smells like wildflowers or chamomile... I like the conditioning, really closes my hair follicle, and makes my hair exceptionally shiny. I didn't notice any thickening, but I didn't get this product for that. And again, be careful with the cap of the bottle... its very sharp! 10 Stars

Hair Treatment:
Basically a solid oil. Very thick, came with the comb/scoop. Smells like coffee, but in a very earthy, hippy way, which I like. I use this maybe once a week. Can leave the bathtub oily, be careful. DO NOT use this as a leave-in, it will make your hair oily and unmanageable, or at least it did for mine. I don't notice much of a difference with this product. 6 Stars
