Local of Purchase: Boots Thailand

According to the package:

With natural extracts of Beer and Egg, Boots ingredients intensive hair treatment is specially formulated to give fullness and body to your hair, whilst leaving it volumised, more manageable and deeply moisturized.

Ingredients:  Water ( Auqa ), Cetyl alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Cetrimonium Chloride, Dimethicone, Cocamide MEA, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Behentrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Parfum, Methylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polyquatemium 10 , Lactic acid, Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Disodium EDDTA, Panthenol, Helianthus annuus ( Sunflower ) Seed Oil, Octyldodecanol, Propylene Glycol SD alchol 39-C, Methylisothiazolinone, Ovum ( Egg yolk ) Extract Faex ( yeast ) Extract, Tris ( Tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol ) Citrate, Benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol, Hydrogenated, Coco Glycerides, CI 15510, CI 19140

My Opinion:

I think I went thru 4-5 tubs of this hair treatment, but sadly this isn't available here in Hong Kong and I have to stock up whenever I'm in Thailand.

This isn't a mirable product, and I don't think it works for really damaged hair. The reason why I like it is because it really hydrates my hair, and sometimes when I over treat my hair with Keratin products, I need this to balance out the gummy effect from Keratin.

Since last year I have been having Brazilian Blowout done every 3 months, and in the meantime I have a Keratin treatment once or twice a week at home. Although Keratin is an amazing product if you over do it, it leaves your hair gummy, and I've learned that to get rid of this gumminess I need something really hydrating on my hair, and so far this product has been doing the job.

Boots Cucumber Oil Control Light Moisturiser UVA UVB Protection SPF15

Contents: 100 ml
Price: 69 Baht
Local of Purchase: Boots (Thailand)

Ingredients: Aqua, Titanium Dioxide, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Sorbitol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Alcohol, Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, Cinnamomum, Propylene Glycol, Hydrogenated palm glycerides, Alcohol, BHT, Carbomer, Cetrimonium chloride, Citrus aurantifolia, Cucumis Sativus, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 20, PVP, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Citrate, Silica, Stearyl Alcohol, Fragrance, Chlorphenesin, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben.

 

My Opinion:

 

I think this product is exclusively sold in Thailand, because I've tried googling it, and the closest thing that I found was the Boots Essentials Cucumber Moisturising Cream (available in the UK), but it doesn't contains SPF.

 

I've initially found this product to be too heavy for my taste, but it has grown on me, and you really need to try it to figure out how much product you need, only a tiny bit should do, don't try to apply it like your regular moisturiser, it'll be too heavy.

 

This product takes awhile to be absorbed, and it does leave a white cast, but once it is absorbed it really mattifies your skin, great product for oily skin during the summer.

My Opinion:

 

I got this because I forgot to bring my makeup remover on my last trip to Thailand, and honestly, I was really dissapointed.

 

These wipes were not very saturated, and it didn't really remove my makeup, please note that I wasn't even wearing full makeup just bb cream and some concealer.

Boots Botanics Leave-in Volumizing Conditioner

Price: Bht195.00
Local of Purchase: Boots Thailand

According to Boot's webpage:

Ingredients: Aqua, Polysorbate 20, Peg-40, hydrogenated castor oil, phenoxyethanol, parfum, polyquaternium-10, panthenol, benzophenone-4, sodium benzoate, sodium methylparaben, dipropylene glycol, citric acid, glycerin, citronellol, pentylene glycol, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, ruscus aculeatus extract, coumarin, isopropyl alcohol, lactid acid.


My opinion:

While I was on holiday in Thailand last year, I forgot to bring my leave-in conditioner, so I've just pop into Boots and got this for my hair. Unfortunately, it did not work, it did not provide enough hydration, and my hair was still dry and coarse after using it.

I brought it back hoping that it might work in Hong Kong's climate, but I was really dissapointed, because it did not hydrate, did not detangles, it left my hair sticky and I did not like the scent.

I had this product for nearly a year, and have tried using it during different seasons, but it's still not working. Since I've been clearing my unused stuffs, I'll just try to use it up, but won't be buying it again.

My Opinion:

Got this from Thailand this summer and found it too heavy for the summer days, it left my hair oilier than usual and I've stopped using it. Since the climate is dryer now, I've started to use it again and love it, it gives my hair the right amount of nourishment, and it volumize as well. I've noticed that it is easier to style my hair after using this product, and the curls just looks bouncier.

Please note that this hair mask texture is very goopy, and you don't need much for each application.


容量：450ml
價錢：379珠兩瓶（買一送一）

我的意見：

這瓶髮膜於今年夏天購自泰國，可惜於夏天使用頭髮好快就變得很油，所以沒有再用。近期天氣變得有點兒乾燥，所以又再拿出來用，今次用後非常之滿意，頭髮好潤但不油，曲髮變得好有單性。唯一不喜歡這個髮膜的是其質地，黏糊狀。

大家要注意使用份量不要太多，比平日用開的髮膜份量小一半就夠，因為這個髮膜真的非常之潤，用太多頭髮會變油。

My Opinion:

I've mentioned before that I love Boots Coconut and Almond Intensive Hair Treatment before, but I found this to be too heavy for the summer days, so I've switch to Avocado & Macadamia, and I like this even better, because it hydrates my hair and it gives volume as well, great for the summer days and it smells amazing.

I've recently noticed that whenever I visit Thailand I always bring back a bunch of hair care product, and they are just amazing.  

容量： 400ml (13.5 us fl oz)
價錢：Baht 125

我的意見：

早前小妹曾經寫過一編文章關於Boots Ingredients Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Treatment，而小妹亦曾表示很喜歡這個髮膜。可惜於夏天使用這個椰子髮膜好像太潤，所以小妹轉了用這個牛油果髮膜，這個髮膜非常之適合夏天使用，用後頭髮不會粒，而且重好有彈性。

小妹大部份的髮膜都購自泰國，因為泰國實在太多選擇而且價錢還很便宜，所以每年去旅行都一定會買很多。

Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, aqua (water, eau), butylene glycol, Dimethicone crosspolymer, Cyclohexasiloxane, Glycerine, Arabinogalactan, Sodium ascorbyl phosphate, Magnesium sulphate, Dimethicone copolyol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium PCA, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone, Hexyl laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 isosterarate, Retinyl palmitate, Medicago sativa (Alfalfa) extract, Methylparaben, Propylene glycol, Lupinus albus seed extract, Butylparaben, Ethyparaben, Carbomer, Propylparaben, Isobtylparaben, Polysorbate 20, Panax ginseng root extract, Morus alba leaf extract, Tocopherol, Palmityl ologopeptide, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide -7.

My Opinion:

I've been using this for 3 nights, and after applying it for the first time, I found my skin very smooth, and when i woke up the next morning, my skin was still smooth and have a glow (not sure if is my imagination). I think I'll keep on using it and write an update on this product.

Update (05/03/2011): I've finished this bottle and though that I should write an update. I personally think this is more of a primer rather than a serum, because it just feel like one of those silicone base and I didn't see any permanent effect on my skin.

Boots Ingredients Tomato & Tangerine Hand & Nail Cream

According to Boot's webpage:

Boots luxurious soft intensive foot moisturising cream

Contents: 120ml
Price 400 Baht (got this from thailand)

According to the package:

This rich, non-greasy cream contains jojoba oit to moisturise, added vitamin A and vitamin E to smooth and condition your skin, whilst essential oils and menthol soothe and refresh your skin.

Direction:

Apply generously to clean, dry feet and massage until absorbed.

My Opinion:

I've got seriously dry feet and I think that's the consequence of neglecting my feet for over 20 years.

I've actually found the best foot cream, and that's NIVEA, but I just keep on trying new stuff hoping that I'll find something better (no such luck yet....)

The boots foot cream is ok, smells great, absorbs really fast, but it only provides enough moisture for my feet during summer, it does not work for me during winter time.

I think this product is no longer available (I got mine from thailand last year), the new version looks like this:

Boots No.7 Reviving Eye Gel

Contents: 15ml
Price: I got this as a free gift while I was shopping in Boots(Thailand)

Product description:

• 
  
  refreshing combination of witch hazel, horse chestnut extract and pro-vitamin B5 come together to offer you a fresh, bright-eyed appearance


•

My opinion:

I've always opt for eye cream instead of gel, because my undereye area is really dry and gel texture usually do not provide enough hydration for my needs, in other words, my dry lines become very obvious after I put on my makeup if I use a eye gel.

However, this is a suprisingly good eye gel, I've used it under my makeup and I didn't get any dry lines after i put on my makeup.

My Opinion:
