Frederick Fekkai Silky Straight Ironless Shampoo and Conditioner

Oh, Frédéric, how many dull hair days did I have to contend with as a sulky teen without your Full Volume shampoo? Fekkai introduced me to the world of specialty shampoos -- those that target certain results. Volume's yellow goo lifted my roots and infused bounce to every strand; not to mention the divine scent it imparted. 

Now that the bottles are redesigned and reformulated, and curious about sleek straight hair, I pointed my claws to the Silky Straight Ironless series (thank you 二姐, for these).

Product description.

Ingredients. 

The shampoo gives moisture to hair, thus reducing some stray bits. But it does not give a straightening effect that one would expect from a flat iron. The conditioner can weigh fine hair down, as it is moisturizing. Otherwise, it is an excellent conditioner for normal to dry hair types. The scent of both formulas are of a soft chemical aroma commonly smelt in salons. Overall, fairly excellent hair products, but I'd tweak the label from 'Ironless' to 'Moisturizing.'

La Mer The Powder in 01 Creme

Dr. Max Huber's spin-off, The Powder by La Mer (thanks to 三姐 for helping me procure this). 

Aside from the cream, this is (from their makeup line) La Mer's most raved product.

I got this in 01 Creme, Translucent has got the shiny particles, so if you don't like glitter on your face, beware like me and opt for Creme.
