Nirvana Rose Dry Shampoo Review: (added 5/10)

Spoiler

I was quite impressed! This fragrance with notes of Rose de Mai, Geranium, and Vetiver is lovely. The mist was fine, and left no weird white residue in my medium brunette hair. I wash my hair every other day, and the slight oil in my hair was eliminated by the product. It did also give some volume at the roots without feeling heavy which is great, as I don't like the feeling of a lot of product in my hair. The fragrance is subtle to moderate in strength, without being overpowering. I was excited to try the Nirvana Rose scent first, because I have not smelled it before. 

Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil, described as a luxurious, powerful yet delicate treatment oil for the face and neck. It has antioxidant and essential fatty acid rich oils to smooth, nourish and brighten the skin. Kora Organics is founded by Miranda Kerr.

Initial Review of the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil: (added 5/11)

Initial thoughts on the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil:

It has a sweet, yet pleasant fragrance I would describe as fruity/rose. The scent is quite strong and lingered on my skin for several hours after application. I have sensitive, combo skin with dry cheeks and an oily nose and forehead. On the box it says the oil is suitable for all skin types. My skin has not reacted or broken out, and the dryness in my cheeks already feels improved by the oil. Here is a photo of the ingredients for anyone curious about it. I will report back again in a few days as I continue to use the product.

The gift box was so beautifully presented, with everything individually wrapped, and even some chocolate! ❤

I will report back my thoughts as I try each product, and post swatches of the Nudestix pencils. 🙂

Sorry if I missed anyone else who asked about this. 🙂

Thank you @angel7594!  I appreciate the picture of the ingredients list too.  I am a little concerned about the "sweet" and "strong" scent triggering a migraine.  Looking forward to your next report!

[veronika23]

Thanks! I wonder how I will like the scent especially if it's strong... 🤔

Loving the three deeper shades on the left side!

[PrettyPaint]

I really love the shade pulse. Thanks for the great swatches!

[Anewxa]

Thank you for the swatches @angel7594! I love Pulse especially! These all look great on you ❤

[angel7594]

Thank you @Anewxa! ❤

[Titian06]

@angel7594 - Thanks for the swatches!  Stiletto is definitely my shade (I love red!) followed by Sin.  The first two may be too dark and the other two may be too brown; it's a little hard to tell in the picture.

[Karmatic]

Gorgeous! I have some of these shades and love the way they look on your skin tone. 

[angel7594]

Thank you Karmatic! 🙂

[veronika23]

Nice swatches!!!! 🙂

[angel7594]

Thanks @veronika23! I was hoping they would turn out okay! 😄

[veronika23]

@angel7594  they did! Now I am especially anxious to try that first color 😄

[angel7594]

@veronika23, I love that Boho color too, and I am thinking of wearing it tomorrow. I will post a photo! 🙂

[veronika23]

Awesome @angel7594 🙂

[DaintyDiva]
