Crash Test {n°2} MONOPRIX Nourishing Hair Mask Review

MONOPRIX Nourishing Hair Mask

Mango Butter & Rice Oil 

"Thankfully we can't gain weight in our hair"

MONOPRIX Masque Nourrissant

Beurre de Mangue & Huile de Riz

"Heureusement que l'on ne peut pas grossir des cheveux"

Since we are in the nourishing department today, I wanted to present to you a hair mask from the French shop Monoprix. This store name commercializes beauty products at convenient prices, among other products (food, accessories, brands...). It's kind of like a tiny tiny Target, maybe.

For 300 ml, I paid between 3 - 4€, which is a good price for a hair mask I think.

As you can see it has a thick consistency, easy to take in your hand. But I find it a little oily. Perhaps because my hair isn't naturally dry or damaged. I would describe it as "normal". 

In fact it tends to grease my hair quicker than with a regular conditioner or hair mask (I only put some on the length and ends of my hair). 

But that means that's it's really nourishing, right ?

I would use this in the Summer when going to the beach, to protect and hydrate my hair from the sun, sand, salt...

In Winter I could use it, if I heat-style my hair a lot, maybe...

Other than that, I really like the smell. The mango scent is quite natural, it's an overall pleasant smell.

Even though it contains butter mango and oil rice (natural ingredients), the ingredient list is not so pretty... "cetearyl alcohol, dipalmitoylethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate"..... 

Now sorry for the language, but WTF ?!? I don't really know what to think of this... I'm not that picky regarding ingredients, but those loooooong words aren't too attractive.

Anyway, I won't purchase this hair mask again, but I do love the Monoprix Eau démaquillante micellaire.

Overall review 

Texture : 4/5

Smell : 5/5

Efficiency : 2.5/5 

If your hair is naturally dry and damaged, it should work better

Price : 5/5

This product has a general good value, but I won't repurchase it. 

I rather try out the hair masks from Garnier Ultra Doux. Their price is quite similar (for the same amount) and I've heard a lot of great things on theses masks !

Crash Test {n°1} Yves Rocher BIO Culture Review

NOURISHING BODY LOTION

Honey & Organic Muesli

LAIT NOURRISSANT CORPS

Miel & Muesli Bio

GREAT COMBINATION ! A nice smelling body lotion, with a subtle vanilla cupcake scented candle ;)

This product is from the newest collection from Yves Rocher, Culture Bio, (Organic Culture). They offer body lotions, body washes, hair care products, etc.
This body lotion retails for 13 € full price, but I had the chance to get it for free, since I had enough points on my membership card !

The first things that attracted me :

• it's 98% of natural origin ingredients

• 0% paraben - coloring - mineral oil

• the smell !!! It's a real autumn / winter scent : light and sweet, kind of like a cake ! In a good way. It's a comforting scent, let's say.

In fact the scent is really similar to the The Body Shop Almond body butter !
So for all of you who don't really like the honey scent, but still like light sugary ones, this is for you !!

It may also remember the smell from the TBS Honey Mania collection, but I haven't tried them out ...

Petite description du produit au dos.

Here's what Yves Rocher says on the Bio Culture Nutrition Body Lotion :

"Immediately soothes feelings of tightness and discomfort.
- Nourishes the skin.
- Leaves your skin soft

- Secret formula:- acacia honey selected by Yves Rocher laboratory for its soothing properties, organic sunflower oil for its nourishing properties, organic chestnut to protect your skin from dehydration and organic oats to stimulate cell renewal."

I totally agree with the description. My skin feels soft, smooth and nourished. 

The formula is a medium-rich lotion. It's not sticky but it doesn't melt right in your skin, you have to massage it well first. But I don't mind, it feels really nice after a nice shower, especially when it's cold outside !
