Sunday Evening Pamper Session Feat. Wondercap & Pores Be Gone!

It's no secret I love pampering, and what better time to pamper yourself then on a Sunday night before another long working week. I also find Sunday nights a good time to trial some products out, in particular products that I can do one use and review like masks etc.

So what did I do this Sunday? I decided to give myself a hair mask and a face mask both at the time time... say whaaaat Multi-Tasking baby!

Let's talk the Wondercap. I'm sure you've read about this on a few blogs, I sure have and now it's my turn to give you my thoughts on it.

Basically what it is, is a heat pack for your head. It's a gel packed cap which you heat up in the microwave for 90seconds and then pop on your head with the treatment conditioner provided or your own if you prefer.

Do you remember ever going to the salon and getting a treatment put on your hair and sitting in one of these -



This is a similar idea, the heat from the cap making the treatment sink deeper into your hair... Great, Good, Wonderrrrcap!

So my experience of it - The first time I used it I used the Guardian Angel Intensive Treatment Conditioner that came with it... Okay i'm going to be honest and tell you that when I used it with the provided treatment it did absolutely nothing for my hair, in fact I had to condition it again afterwards with my regular conditioner. However, last night I used it along with my Pantene 3 minute miracle conditioner ($7.99AUD for 3) and it worked wonders! Today my hair feels soft and silky and I almost feel like I could be swishing it about like they do on tv. So basically, love the cap but don't like the conditioner provided with it. I did also find the cap a little heavy on my head but since you only have it on for 3-5 mins it's definitely bearable.

You can purchase the Wondercap for $49.95AUD from various locations including some Shaver Shop stores, Ry.com and wondercap.com.au



As for the goop on my face. I decided to use a face mask and I went with one i've had sitting in my drawer for awhile begging to be reviewed! It was the Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure refining mask with Strawberry & Yarrow. This smelt like I was slapping Strawberry Yoghurt on my face, it also stung a little. I don't really think it did much for my skin although my blackheads seemed to be a little reduced and it didn't dry out my skin like I thought it might. I think this would be more suited to a younger skin with acne issues, but for $1.99AUD for a sachet it was worth the try. You can get this at Priceline.

My camera battery ran out when I went to take product pics, so here is a snazzy one I took on my iphone instead.



Please note the Wondercap was sent to me for review.
