HAIR product review: regis design line ultimate radiance leave in contioner

Hi Everyone,
I hope your having a wonderful day, today I will review the Regis salon brand Design Line Ultimate Radiance leave in conditioning styler. Wow that's a mouth full but I went to get a hair cut a Regis salon a few months ago. When my stylist during my consutation noticed the ends of my hair were fried. I know your thinking I use hear styling a lot. The truth is I don't use heat styling, I mainly reserve that for special occasion. So what's up with the major damage I blame it on improper use of of a curling iron. I know your think if too you already have curly hair. But the curling iron is for controlled curl :)

Anyway my stylist recommend that I use leave in conditioner. She suggested it's a 10 brand or the regis brand. The same price you just get a little more product for regis brand.

Product claims:
It is a protective, energizing, youth restoring leave in conditioner. A conditioning styler infused with aloe Vera and sea shell protein to help reconstruct hair from heat and environmental damage. Instantly detangled and boost moisture, softness and shine while adding body. Also helps prevent color fading.

Product experience:
After you have washed your hair and towel dried your hair. Just spritz this conditioner all over your head. On top the sides, I like to saturate the ends as much as it will absorb. I like to separate my hair in to two sections spritz some more. After that I just run my hands through my hair making sure the product is evenly distributed and then the I start scrunching my hair. This a nice scent a very light coconut scent. I don't like coconut scents.

Pros:
To be honest I have a love hate feelings toward the spray bottle. I like it because it delivers a nice even application of the product.
The product is thick enough to coat my hair with out weighing it down.
I like the clear bottle
Price

Cons
The spray nozzle, my fingers get tired then after a few spritzes the button becomes greasy.
Can only be purchased at Regis Salon


It's a good product but I think you can find products that does the same thing at the drugstore. You don't need to buy this specific product at Regis salon.

Website review: Sasa.com

Hi Everyone,

I hope your having a wonderful Here is another website review in my quest of find Asian beauty products at a good deal. A lot youtube beauty gurus raves reputable website that cater to asian beauty products, but they don't really tell you how the service is with this website. It maybe reputable but it also comes with headaches as I have learned ordering through other websites.

So today I will be reviewing Sasa.com

Signing up

Just like other websites it's easy to sign up with this website, just click on the link sign up and you just need to fill out a form that asks for basic information like name, billing address and shipping address, etc. After you finished filling up the form just wait for the response email and start shopping. Also with this website signing up is no longer necessary. You can go through PayPal to order and pay for any items.

Products, prices and then some

Sasa has a wide range of beauty items-products from make up, skin care, body care and hair care. Sasa also has products for men and children they also have diet/slimming products and accessories. The products here are some what cheaper but I notice the company doesn't carry the full range of products from each specific brand which was some what annoying.They have the popular brands such as Naruko, Etude house, laniege etc.
The price and sale in this website is very competitive, silk whitia is has buy one get one free deal, some products are  heavily discounted.

My haul

Sasa.com was having a sale so I bought a bunch of silk whitia masks for the eyes and entire face they had a buy one get one sale so I bought the Q10 elastic tightening mask.

Shipping and handling

Unfortunately I didn't met the $75 minimum purchase to obtain the free shipping. The shipping rate for the US residents with a minimum order of under USD $75 is $6 for 7 to 14 days. Anything over USD $75 is free shipping for 5 to 7 days.

I'm quite disappointed with the shipping, it is on the slow side and the products are shipped via  Hong kong postal service and then will be later transfered to USPS. I had a hard time tracking my package.


Customs and Tax

When ordering from sasa.com you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all the laws and requirements of the country in which you are receiving the items. Your orders may be subject to import duties and/or taxes and any additional charges for custom clearance must be borne by you. Sasa.com has no control over these charges and does not assume responsibility for the ordered goods meeting local customs laws and/or duties and taxes. Custom policies vary widely from country to country, and you should contact your local customs office for further information.

If the package is refused due to your refusal to pay customs tax and/or duties, and subsequently returned to sasa.com, you will be responsible for the return shipping charges and a re-stocking fee of 15% of the total product purchase price. The balance will then be refunded back to you.

You will be charged an international coventry charge, which is a few dollars.
