[ Review ] : Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo

 

Product Description

Formulated for Natural or color treated hair. Enhances shine and conditions without effecting color. Can be used on normal, damaged, bleached, permed, or chemically colored hair. Herbal extracts combined with our colorless Neutral Henna extract provides all the natural benefits of Henna without the color. Henna adds body and shine while smoothing the hair shaft. Biotin is added to help strengthen the hair and can support new hair growth. Leaving your hair feeling and looking healthier.

I purchased Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo from Iherb after reading many positive reviews. With my crown getting flatter, I wanted to try some hair loss shampoo and this presented itself with its reviews. 

Rainbow Research is a family owned and operated company since 1976 making natural body care products.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo is housed in a 360ml plastic pump bottle with an exotic scent that took awhile to get used to. Its not overpowering but its just different. 

The bottles are BPA-free and there is no animal testing, artificial colouring and fragrance.

Performance and Ingredients

Made in USA, the runny shampoo lathers well with foam and cleans effectively. The mild formula is said to add shine, body and conditioning to all hair colors and types and does not irritate the scalp or skin as it brings out your natural highlights.

Made with Neutral (colorless) Henna and Organic Extracts of Marigold, Chamomile, Soy, Lemon Grass and Aloe Vera, Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo is suitable for normal or color treated hair.

Indeed, it made my hair soft and shiny and look healthier unfortunately, it doesn't help strengthen my hair or support new hair growth. There was hair fall and it increases the more I used the shampoo. Running my fingers through my hair also loosen some strands. 

If not for the hair fall, I really enjoyed using the shampoo as it was never drying so I don't need a conditioner. 

Disappointed and not a repurchase!

Purified Water, Lauryl Glucoside (Corn), Decyl Glucoside (Corn), Cocomidopropyl Betain (Coconut), Water Extract of Neutral Henna, Biotin, Organic Extracts of Marigold, Chamomile, Soy, Lemon Grass & Aloe Vera, Sodium Etidronate (Chelating Agent), Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol (Green Tea), Sorbitol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Citric Acid, Grapefruit Seed Extract (preservative), Natural Fragrance.

Where To Purchase : Iherb | Amazon

Conclusion

To conclude, Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo sounds like a promising shampoo which did deliver on some fronts, like healthier, shiny and soft hair but unfortunately, there was increased hair fall as I almost emptied the shampoo.

Go Green With Beauty Empties

 

We buy products in packages which we often empty in the landfills. Going green involves having a stand to care for the environment and contributing less to its destruction.

If you are a skincare or beauty fan like me, then you would definitely have empties lying around. Finding new uses can actually save you money! Moreover reutilizing around the house can also help organize your collection plus not to forget it’s great for the environment! The less waste the better.

So what can we do with those empties? Lets check out some of the ways to repurpose skincare empties, creative ways to upcycle beauty packaging and recycle skincare empties with incentives. 

8 Ways To Repurpose Your Skincare Empties

1) Keep empties as skincare/makeup travel containers

Rather than buying new skincare products every time you travel, why not use your empty containers and refill them with your favourite shampoo or body moisturiser. By reusing them, you’re preventing them from ending up in landfill and saving yourself a few pennies not having to buy new products to take away with you! 

2) Refill

- Refill it with hand sanitizer and pop in the bag. 

- Bring the empty jars and bottles along to zero-waste stores and refill them with laundry detergent, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc.

I received Naruko Jing Cheng 60 Actives Ultimate Moisturizer, together with other goodies as a Christmas gift from Artisan Glam some time back, with no obligation to review. However, I was excited to incorporate this moisturizer to my skincare routine as its time to include more anti-aging products for my age so its time to share my thoughts after almost emptying it.

Cream of Jing Cheng represents supreme luxury and high performance skincare. Utilizing 60 botanic extracts as base, Cream of Jing Cheng provides unique experience of Asian Women.

The box packaging is in deep red with small black fonts which aren't the easiest to read. Floral scent was rather strong in a white buttery formula which can be toned down. 

[ Review ] : Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk

 

Product Description

Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk is a basic skincare product that is recommended for use as a gentle cleanser in the morning and evening and is also a great way to gently remove make-up. Men enjoy our Soothing Cleansing Milk as a shaving cream. Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin    

Benefits : 

• Suitable for all skin conditions as a make-up remover
• Cleanses and nourishes
• Helps to replenish oils
• For dry, sensitive and normal skin
• Men use it as a shaving cream

Its been 8 years since I last used a Dr. Hauschka product as they weren't particularly memorable. I have previously reviewed Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light and Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream but I didn't like it enough to repurchase them. 

A pioneer in natural skincare for over 50 years, Dr. Hauschka collections are born from a passion for natural solutions, healthy skin and the rhythms of nature. All of their products are 100% certified natural by NATRUE, have never been tested on animals, and do not contain any synthetic fragrances, colors or preservatives.

Hailing from Germany, Dr. Hauschka has been manufacturing on the same Swabian site for over 50 years, using methods that are still largely manual. Their skincare range comprises only genuine natural and organic skin care where their selected medicinal plants are certified organic and help the skin to help itself and to regenerate.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

I purchased Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk in a 30ml travel sized aluminum tube which was a good size for me to gauge my repurchase interest. It has a soothing scent and is very relaxing to the senses. 

[ Review ] Mary Kay Timewise Age Minimize 3D Eye Cream

 

Product Description

Mary Kay TimeWise® Age Minimize 3D™ Eye Cream helps improve multiple visible signs of aging and fatigue, including the appearance of dark circles, undereye puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles. Skin looks firmer as this quick-absorbing cream immediately moisturizes and brightens the eye area. Plus, it maintains moisture in the eye area for 12 hours. You’ll see overall improvement in skin’s appearance for a more youthful, rested look.

My husband's ex-colleague was retrenched and joined Mary Kay as a beauty consultant where she would meetup with my husband to hard-sell products to him. And that was how I ended up with Mary Kay Timewise Age Minimize 3D Eye Cream. 

My husband supported her by buying products from her during each meetup which reminded me of long lost friends who tried to sell insurance to me without trying to understand my needs. This doesn't go well with me, of course, but that is a story for another day. 

If you really want to support a friend and try Mary Kay products, then I highly recommend Mary Kay Deep Cleansing Charcoal Mask which I will review in a couple of months. Its pretty good, especially for those with acne-prone and oily skin. 

Mary Kay is a top beauty brand and direct seller with 3 million people around the world selling Mary Kay® products in more than 35 countries.

Headquartered in the town of Addison, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, U.S.A, Mary Kay develops, tests, manufactures and packages the majority of its own products at its state-of-the-art facilities in Dallas and China.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Mary Kay Timewise Age Minimize 3D Eye Cream is housed in a 14g pink tube with a sweet feminine vibe. White in colour, the cream texture is lightweight and absorbed easily without much scent.
