Unilever Mystery Box

Salutations Cuppy Cakes, 

I thankfully have been able to participate in a sampling with all sorts of Unilever goodies! Having been a long-time user of different products from Unilever, it was not hard to get excited. Since it was a random selection of products I didn't know what I was going to get, but once it arrived I happily found out that everything included was a new product to me. 

In the box:

1 Suave Professionals Hairspray Touchable Finish Extra Hold Aerosol

1 Suave Professionals Hairspray Touchable Finish Extra Hold (Non-Aerosol)

1 Degree Women MotionSense Antiperspirant Deodorant - Daisy Fresh

1 Degree Women MotionSense Antiperspirant Deodorant - Sheer Powder
*All products are linked above!

So, let’s start out with the hairsprays, the first being Suave Professionals Hairspray Touchable Finish Extra Hold Aerosol. Since my hair is pin-straight and stubborn, I found the hairspray works wonders in maintaining curls. I noticed Suave updated the look of their old packaging from the previous pink design and name Touchable Finish hairspray, but since this is my first time using it I can’t attest to a difference. I do know however that it provides amazing, long-lasting hold and works great if you want to create that beachy wave hair and have it last.

I think it lives up to its name with a touchable and non-crunchy formula. It's not sticky and has an amazing fresh scent that you smell faintly on your hair. I also found that with tighter curls, this only lasts so long, so I would invest in the #4 firm control hairspray for that particular hairstyle. This hairspray is great for everyday use like calming fly-aways or loose curls. I would also choose the aerosol can over the typical one because I feel it sprays more evenly, is buildable, and grants more control. 

The second one, Suave Flexible Control Finishing Hairspray in the non-aerosol bottle, is basically the same hairspray just a different packaging. First of all, I can’t discount the fact that using non-aerosol bottle is better for the environment. However, there are several reasons why this one would be my second choice, for when the aerosol can isn’t available. While the formula is the same, but I found that it does spray out more product than I would like. Not something I couldn’t adapt to though, like by holding it out a little further so too much product doesn’t set in one spot. I personally love using this for fly-aways by spraying at least twice on my fingers and applying to those unruly little hairs. The formula is true to its name and is not sticky nor crunchy, and is easy to manage especially when creating soft beachy curls. I absolutely love the scent as well. It is more potent when you first spray, but once it settles its faint and leaves your hair smelling floral and fresh.

I’ve also tried both of the Degree products over the last two weeks, and found each to be just as effective as the other, but with different scents. I feel that I truly put Daisy Fresh Degree MotionSense to the test, switching away from my usual clinical strength deodorant. I am pretty impressed, and I was initially skeptical about its protection and long-lasting effectiveness. Since I have gotten older, my PH level has changed too. Once upon a time, normal (non-clinical) deodorants use to work for me, but now I need something that will work and last all day. I work with little children, so I am always on the go and I need a deodorant that can truly work. I found that after grueling hours of chasing little ones my deodorant was still on and smelled great. The invisible solid has yet to leave white stains on my black scrubs. I also love the design of the stick because it gave me something that I could fully hold on too and reach under my shirt.  Overall, I loved the fresh floral scent and how well the deodorant worked for me. I will continue use it and I'm really looking forward to trying the other scents.

Goes on sheer!

I have come to love Degree MotionSense in Sheer Powder after using the other scented stick. At first glance, I thought this one wouldn’t have a scent, but it has a light citrus and freesia scent.  As with the Daisy Fresh version, after long hours the deodorant still smells fresh and I find no need to reapply it at all. It also has the same great packaging that makes it really easy to apply under a shirt. Overall, I love the MotionSense line of deodorants and will continue to use them, while looking forward to trying other scents!

Unilever Mystery Box

Suave Professionals Honey Infusion Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-In Conditioner

Salut Cuppies, 

I was fortunate enough to try for free from Crowdtap and Suave several products from a Honey Infusion line that includes a shampoo, conditioner and a 10 in 1 leave-in conditioner. 

Honey Infusion Shampoo & Conditioner

I am extremely excited to try Suave Professionals New Honey Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner. The pair are made to strengthen normal to weak hair, and I truly put them to the test. Since I've dyed my hair numerous times, I definitely need a duo that will help my split ends and repair my hair. 

The packaging is a nice golden honey color to represent the ingredients and looks indulgent for your hair. I am loving the new trend of honey infused products, and I have high hopes these will provide the optimal nutrients for my damaged hair. Both bottles are fairly skinny at a 12.6 fluid ounce each, but I would love to see in a larger bottle because I have over 22 inches of hair.

 The shampoo has a nice consistency with a decadent honey aroma, but I felt it could lather better. That's not to say it didn’t clean my hair, but it felt as if I need to add more shampoo to get a good lather going. On the other hand, I absolutely loved the conditioner and felt it was perfect for hydrating my hair. I could still feel the softness in my hair after rinsing out, and it did not leave it heavy and greasy. I do however  wish the bottle sizes were larger, because I use twice as much in conditioner as I do shampoo.

 After showering, then drying with heat or air, my hair felt softer and more nourished. I notice my hair smells great while still wet and after drying has just a hint of honey scent. The results were great enough for me to keep using the full sized samples I received and I am inclined to purchase more in the future. I am especially intrigued by the vitamin infusion line as well. I also noticed after a week of use my hair felt stronger, but not  after just one use as claimed. This is definitely a duo you want to stick with for a while to build strength and nourishment.

Honey Infusion 10 in 1 Leave-In Conditioner

Since I have over 22 inches of over-processed, fine hair that loves to tangle into a million knots after showering, this leave in conditioner provides the nourishment and strength my hair needs.

What’s great about the packaging of this particular leave in conditioner is how much product you get! The bottle is 10.2 fluid ounces, which is more than enough for it to last a long time. I really like that you get more for your money and having such long hair I always use a little extra to cover all my strands.

The texture is nice and creamy and a little goes a long way when working into damp hair. I definitely can’t go without using this now, since it helps with detangling my hair and keeping it silky soft throughout the day. The fragrance of decadent honey is more potent when you are applying but fades nicely into a soft scent after your hair dries. Don’t over apply because it will weigh your hair down and become greasy, but that’s the case with any leave-in conditioner, so just finding what works best for you is optimal.

Overall I love the results and this will definitely will be a staple in my household. Helps my hair feel nourished throughout the day and calms my flyaways. Also, you can apply it to dry hair by wetting your hands and applying the product. This is especially convenient at the end of the day, once my hair has become more dry and brittle. In this case you get quality and quantity all in one!
