Garnier Fructis *NEW* Triple Nutrition Curl Nourish Collection

Recently, I was gifted with a big box of the latest hair products from Garnier.  To my pleasant surprise, I found their new Triple Nutrition Curl Nourish Collection inside that just hit store shelves earlier this month. Since I have some natural curl to my hair, I was eager to see how these five products would work.

I started off with the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Curl Nourish Shampoo ($3.99).  If you want to linger with fragrant suds on your head, then this is what you might do once you start lathering with this gentle, delicious coconut smelling, sulfate-free and moisture-rich formula due to its coconut oil.  

The Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Curl Nourish Conditioner ($3.99) that I followed with was just as enticing with all that coconut coming out of that bottle.  This daily conditioner helped start smoothing out some tangles my hair always has after shampooing.

The next step after I rinsed was applying the Garnier Fructis Nutrition Curl Nourish Butter Cream ($5.99).  I squeezed about a quarter size amount of this deep leave-in conditioner.  This stuff quickly got rid any last remaining knots before I sampled the Garnier Fructis Nutrition Curl Nourish Loosening Pudding ($4.29).

Beauty Box 5 January 2015

To start the new year, this month’s Beauty Box 5 comes with an appropriate theme of hello!  The products in this assortment are meant to keep you looking and feeling ready to meet new challenges.

To those that might be unaware of this particular beauty subscription, let me tell you a little about how this one works.  Every month a new beauty box comes out with a fresh theme and four to five full and sample size products for a cost of $12 a month with free shipping. I know that price already sounds tempting, but you can save even more and have that $12 price drop to just $8.25 a month, if you sign up for an annual subscription.

Take a look at this month’s box and you can decide if you have been missing out on some great beauty!

Beauty Box 5 January 2015

1.  Coastal Scents Eye Shadow ( 0.07 oz. sample)–$.48

2.  Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips Kit (Full Size)–$9.99

3.   Ultraflesh The Gold Standard Mascara in Blackout ( 0.08 oz. sample tube)–$6.22

4.   Garnier Fructis Daily Care Fortifying Shampoo ( 1.7 fl. sample)–$.60

5.   Softsoap Nutri Serums Vitamin E Body Wash (1.7 oz. sample)–$.45

                                                    Total approximate value: $17.74


The Coastal Scent Eye Shadow sampler was Set 39 (Solar Flare, Vibrant Green, Vibrant Plum and Capri Blue).  For the most part, I didn’t care for the wild colors except for the plum despite what may be trending on some fashion runaways for Spring, 2015.  However, you may feel differently.

The Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips Kit I received was 540 Stripe-Tease.  I do love Sally Hansen nail polish and am looking forward to trying this out.  

I keep mascara for about three months before I replace it to keep my eyes safe.  Therefore, the Ultraflesh Mascara is a wonderful size when you need to toss it so you don’t feel like you are wasting it.  The only thing I didn’t care for was when I researched to learn more about this product.  I became aware that this is a discontinued mascara from 2011.   

The Garnier Fructis Daily Care Fortifying Shampoo is something my hair benefitted from since it was a strengthening formula.  It lathered up and gave my hair pretty sheen.

The Softsoap Nutri Serums Body Wash was one from the brand that I didn’t try until now.  It had a delectable sweet scent that smelled like an apple and yet had a touch of floral.  Bathing with it was a very pleasant way to clean with its moisturizing lather.

Overall, I thought it was a decent box and thrilling to explore.  Do think of subscribing to Beauty Box 5 yourself because it is a fun way to get beautiful.

Call Me a Fan of The NEW Hydra Recharge Fortifying Line for Dry Hair From Garnier Fructis! (Review)

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge

Being a BzzAgent, I was chosen to test out a few of the new Garnier Fructis hair care products in their Hydra Recharge Fortifying Shampoo, Conditioner and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment for Dry Hair.  I had used their various hair care and styling products in the past.  Some of their products on my hair were wonderful, especially their Wonder Waves Shampoo while others were just so-so that is until I experimented with these three products.

Geared for those with dry hair, the Hydra Recharge line has goji berry, passion fruit, and kiwi to help hydrate hair without weighing it down.

Unlike that sour smell I associated with some of their earlier shampoos I had tried in the past, the Hydra Recharge formulation has a sweeter fruit scent, which was a wonderful beginning.  Lathering up was so pleasant as I worked this rich foam through my hair.

I followed next with a small amount of the Hydra Recharge Conditioner after rinsing my hair and squeezing out the excess water.  I left this conditioner on for about a minute and rinsed before towel drying.

Since I was anxious to see what my hair looked like, I only applied some styling gel to my long bangs before grabbing my blow dryer. 

The surprising part was how this shampoo and conditioner managed to turn my slightly layered hair into a thick mass of voluminous curls without any styling mousse.  As I mentioned, I do have some natural wave in my hair and go to either smooth or make more of my curls. 

Another thing I want to explain was how incredibly shiny and extra soft those strands I stroked felt.  It truly boggled my mind.

The next time I shampooed, I gave myself the 1-Minutes Moisture-Plenish Treatment.  This is a hair mask that you leave for a minute before rinsing.  This seemed to turn my hair's new brilliance up even more, which was so hard to believe.

My hair is thick and dry, but not coarse and these products worked like champs for me.  I highly recommend picking them up if you also have the same type of hair!

Great job on this one, Garnier Fructis!
