Review: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Treatment


// Pantene's 3 Minute Miracle is 3 Minutes of Nothing Happening.
The tube is 15ml and it is more than sufficient for 2-3uses. I didn't want to make an oil rig of my my head so I only used half a tube. And knowing Pantene, I anticipated this to be full of silicons.
The formula is pretty thick and it doesn't drip (has a consistency like the Tsubaki Treatment)
I had this on for 10minutes.
When my hair dried, it felt like nothing happened. My hair was in its usual state. The next day, it was a frizz bomb. Did I miss something?Hello? This is supposed to rescue my hair from damage and make it shiny and smooth. Sure as hell didn't see any of that happening. Sounds like a whole lotta bull. Even some silicon would have made my hair shinier (for a day at least)
In the end, I had to turn to my trusty Kose Cosmeport and Tsubaki Conditioner and treatment for some help.

Thank god this was a free sample. Won't even rate it since it didn't do anything good for me. Yerk. The remaining half goes into the bin. Bye Bye, 3 minutes of wasting my time.

Nail of the Day: Paul and Joe 003 Rayon De Soleil

Under artificial light, no flash

Under artifical light with flash




Rose Bronze-Gold base with tiny specks of glitter. All it took was one coat!! And, I'm very glad to say that this one glides on smoothly, with no grittyness at all. Fairly watery in consistency but doesn't drip (unlike Beaute De Kose varnishes!). The brush is controllable too. I like the long screwtops as it provides a good hold (especially when you are not ambidexterous!) I had this one sitting around for at least 1/2 a year and there was minimal separation!
It looks like copper here but it looks gold-bronze in the daylight. I hauled this at a warehouse sale but to be honest, I probably would not pick this one up at regular price.
Made in Japan by Albion. Paul and Joe gives you a decent 10ml, which means it would probably last you quite awhile. Paul and Joe varnishes are not their main line of products (their focus being makeup and skincare) so this would probably be a little difficult to find.

All in all, I likey! 4/5!
-1 for being expensive at regular price!
