Bag Of Love- April with Love from Mother Nature

Hello Beauty Babes,

Well, this month I would have to say I was very unlucky because I received my Bag of Love one week after it was posted out because there were some issues with the courier service, they said they tried to deliver but I did not see them at all. So after receiving my bag that was a week late, it was drenched and was soaking.

The bleach-free canvas bag was discoloured and the name was quite faded. There was literally liquid floating in my courier bag. Well, because of me being unlucky that week I had to wait a few days and then received the second bag after chatting with the owner, Mimi.

She was so kind and understanding and instead of sending me just the product that leaked, she sent me a new bag. See how she is full of love? So this is what I received.. The unboxing begins..



Little Beauty Bag by Bag of Love, made of Bleach-free canvas

The Bleach-free canvas beauty bag is not only environmental friendly, it is also really strong to hold all your beauty products. It also has a non-woven tag with "Bag of Love" written on it which just shows a unique touch to the design of the bag.



Phytocitrus Shampoo by Phyto is simply amazing. It is for coloured hair and it is a colour protect radiance shampoo. It smells lovely and very soothing.


The next item is by Nuxe, which is a brand that combines both Nature and Luxury. This product is their BB Cream. It works great on my skin and shows amazing results. So happy to be introduced to Nuxe.


The next item is by Decleor, this is a moisturizing cream and it is also anti-pollutant to add to the earth-theme of the beauty bag. Another thumbs up to saving mother nature.


This issue they also included another very eco-friendly product by Burt's Bees, this is their Cocoa & Cupuacu Body Lotion which gives you 24-hour moisturization. I am tottally in love with this sample.


 

This product is only given to those who subscribe quarterly (Every 3 months) this is the mystery gift. I am not sure what others received but most quarterly subscribers received this. It is a Lip Balm made of beeswax and pepermint. It leaves a peppermint taste and cooling effect when applied. So I would recommend subscribers to purchase the quarterly plan to enjoy the mystery gift.


The little note by Bag of Love describing this month's bag and it shows a really cute girl with a green dress to honour Earth Month. Really thoughtful and cute!


Bag of Love greetings!


Product description of the Bag for this month! Super Love all the details and products featured on this issue.


Each subscriber also gets a Voucher for a Facial that is now worth only Rm98 by Decleor.

 So, this was last month's bag, however the contents inside are empty but I will be giving the Beauty Bag solely along with a full sized Contour Brush that is featured in this month's bag as well. The picture below shows the full size contour Brush by Definite that retails for Rm88.

The Contour Brush which is a major plus in the amazing products this month. It is worth Rm88 and that amount alone is worth more than the RM39.90 i paid for the bag. I will be giving this away this month to one lucky reader along with a few product samples. So hurry and tell me One item that is missing from this bag. Haha it is a game i created and the clues can be found from the product description. Another hint- * I truly love this product very much and I keep it at my bedside the minute i opened the bag!


Overall I would have to say I am totally in love with this month's bag, despite being unlucky at first I would saythings are turning our great. Bag of Love has a truly remarkable person behind the beauty bag. She is not only hard-working but never fails to understand each of her subscribers. Being a mother herself, I would have to say she made a great concept in support of Mother Nature. All the products are eco-friendly and does not harm the environment.

Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif

Hi Beauty Babes and Beauty Dudes,

I just received my Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif, Thanks to WonderBox Malaysia & Loreal Professionnel. I tried the product out and it was Simply Amazing!


Inspired by this ancestral beauty ritual, L’Oréal Professionnel reinvents the tradition of beauty oils with its latest hair solution. Using the finest oils to create special customized blends and fusing them with its technical haircare expertise, L’Oréal Professionnel introduces the amazing Mythic Oil, a range of four tailor-made beauty oils, each one targeted for different hair needs so that women can discover the mystic secret to beautiful hair.


Well first of all, what is Mythic Oil? Well as explained on the box of the Mythic Oil, it is....

"The Mythic Oil is a nourishing oil for all hair types with a blend of avocado oil and grape seed oil. It leaves  hair instantly more supple, tamed and glossy. Immediately absorbed for a lightweight feel and finish. Depending on hair type, dispense 1 to 2 pumps into your hand and apply to dry or damp hair."-Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil Box.

Loreal Professionnel Mythic Oil- Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif


L'Oréal Professionnel brings you the revolutionary Mythic Oil and its range of nourishing haircare solutions for a tailor-made ritual of precious oils that offers hair personalized nutrition, incredible radiance and ultimate softness.

So upon opening up the Box, the bottle was attached with a Bracelet that is specially designed by Turkish Designer Dilek Hanif. It is really cute, beautiful and suits the Black and Gold theme.

Fashion Designer Dilek Hanif was inspired from her Couture collection which was presented in Paris Fashion Week. She then based the design on the colours and patterns which she used in her collection. She maximized the black and gold shades. She also played around with transparencies to gain on elegance, femininity and modernity but kept the oriental inspiration which is a key identity sign of Mythic oil.

The Bottle features a pump for easy application  and a beautiful bracelet on the top as a gift from the Famous Fashion Designer-Dilek Hanif.

Introducing the beautiful Bracelet. The design is very chic, feminine and classy.


The design of the bracelet. Isn't it fabulous? =)


A picture of me wearing the bracelet. It looks beautiful and very unique.



"Because every women like wearing bracelets! Amongst accessories, I believe a bracelet is something other people notice more and is the perfect complement to their clothes. By offering a bracelet I would also like to create a kind of “Mythic Oil” community."- Dilek Hanif

Ingredients of the Loreal Professionnel-Mythic Oil:-

The Main two ingredients featured is Avocado Oil and Grape Seed Oil.
Other ingredients include Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal, Amyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Isoeugenol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Citronellol, Parfum/ Fragance

So upon, unboxing the Mythic Oil, I decided to first have a sniff of its scent and I can't quite describe it as it smells very nice. It also reminds me of a scent that is very luxurious and ancient. Like maybe Cleopatra's Time. I could not wait to try it out so off to the shower i went. I used a normal hair shampoo and conditioner and dried my hair half dry.

My hair which is damp and about to apply the Mythic Oil  by Loreal Professionnel.

After applying about two pumps starting from the tips of my hair and working it upwards towards a little below the roots. I was instantly greeted by the scent of it. I left in it and worked the oil with my hands and it magically dissolved into my hair. I thought it was going to be very oily and greasy feeling, but my hair felt so light and translucent. The oil was absorbed almost immediately and did  not feel oily at all. So i waited for my hair to dry by air for a further few minutes and I will show you the outcome of my hair.

After applying the Mythic Oil and allowing my hair to further dry and this is how my hair is.

Well, the results is almost instant. My hair was shiny, more tamed and had a bit more volume. I have to say I am in Love with this Mythic Oil by Loreal Professionnel. I had always been in love with Loreal Hair products but after being introduced to the Mythic Oil Range i am instantly hooked to the Mythic Oil itself. I am defenitely going to use the Mythic Oil everyday and I am sure to see better hair results.

The only thing my hair is lacking of is better hair colouring. If I have the right colour on my hair, it will look even nicer. My hair colour has faded over the months so its time I fixed my hair colour. Maybe this time, i hope to have my hair coloured at a Loreal professionnel Hair Salon.

There is also a Mythic Oil Hair range that includes a Shampoo, Conditioner and a Masque. I hope to someday purchase the whole range as it features a lot of natural ingredients like cotton seed oil.
