Pantene Ultimate 10 Shampoo, Conditioner, and BB Crème

I got 3 full size Pantene products for free to try from BzzAgent. They were the Ultimate 10 shampoo, conditioner, and BB Crème.

My family and I always use Pantene, my family uses the “Smooth and Sleek” one and I use the clear kind (Aqualight, Volume, Ice Shine…) because my hair tends to get oily during the day. It seems like the clear shampoo makes my hair stay nice and clean longer. I don’t use conditioner because I think it makes my hair oily and I read somewhere that you shouldn’t use it if your hair is oily (not sure if it’s true or not).

Anyways, I have been using the Ultimate 10 shampoo and conditioner for awhile now and it’s actually pretty good. Before using it I thought it would make my hair oily but it didn’t. I can actually use conditioner on my hair without that oily look. It made my hair really smooth, shiny, and easy to comb through. I told my mom to try it and she said it’s not as smooth as the “smooth and sleek” shampoo/conditioner. That make sense or why would Pantene call that line “smooth and sleek”. Now I can use another line from Pantene without any problems.

I have straight hair that doesn’t need any styling or fixing, so I just wake up and go. That’s why I didn’t use the Ultimate 10 BB Crème much. I tried it a few times and it’s not bad. One pump is quite a lot already, well depends on how much hair you are going to style with. I used it on my bangs so that’s why it was a lot. The texture was a cream form. It had a strong fragrance which I didn’t like too much. When the crème dries on the hair, it feels a bit hard but not as hard as gel. At first, it made my bangs look a bit ew and oily but when it dries, that oily look was gone. It felt a bit heavy on the hair when it dried, always feels like something was on my bangs. It would be nice if it felt like nothing was in my hair at all. Overall, it’s not a bad product. 

L'Oreal Paris Lash Serum

Getting bored at home so I decided to make a post on another product that I really like, L'Oreal Paris lash serum. I don't know if they still sell this product in Canada because I didn't see it at Superstore. I bought mine a long time ago and it lasts quite long. The price was reasonable, forgot how much but it was less than $10 or $20 (not as expensive as the other brands). Don't remember what the package says but something like it makes the lashes fuller and longer. The serum is like a gel that you put onto the roots and on the lashes itself as if you are putting mascara on. I usually put it on before bedtime and wash it off in the morning. If you put it before your mascara, it might feel a bit heavy.

 

I used to put mascara and curl lashes a lot and I realize my lashes would fall out and I have this gap. I searched around trying to find something that would help and I found this. At first, I thought hey lash growth, perfect for me (I have short lashes) but after using it for awhile the gap starts growing tiny lashes again. I'm not sure if it made my lashes grow longer because they always seem very short to me...

Now that I think my lashes looks ok, I only put serum on when I'm going to curl and use mascara the next day. I hope they didn't discontinue this because I would want to repurchase when I'm done with my 2nd one.
