[Review] Yves Rocher Low Shampoo & Rinsing Vinegar

I love to color and style my hair, and I visit the hair salon almost every month to dye my hair. Hence you can imagine how damaged my hair is. I have tried a lot of different shampoos and haircare products over the years to achieve more healthy hair. Well, there are some products that works on me but I’ve never tried something so unique like Yves Rocher Low Shampoo & Rinsing Vinegar before. 

Let me tell you why below. 

Yves Rocher Low Shampoo (200ml | RM43)

According to Yves Rocher, Low Shampoo is shampoo without foam for healthy hair which is formulated with 99% of natural ingredient, 0% sulfate, 0% silicone, 0% colorant and 0% paraben which will change the way we wash our hair. 

Inspired by the No Poo method (no shampoo), Low Shampoo is the new way to wash our hair without fear of damaging it. This delicate cleansing protects and respects the integrity of hair fiber and leaves hair silky and healthy. The formula is 99% of natural origin, 0% sulfate, 0% silicone, 0% colorant and 0% paraben. It is one of its kind that was launched in Malaysia in April 2016.

How to Use:

To be applied on wet hair, using fingers to spread the cream down to the ends and rinse thoroughly.

For first time users, it is recommended to use Low Shampoo alternatively with your shampoo in the beginning to allow the hair scalp to gradually recondition and rebalance itself towards the daily usage of Low Shampoo.

Verdict: Yves Rocher Low Shampoo really is no foam. The creamy texture made it easy to spread the cream on wet hair. I felt a bit awkward when using it for the first 2 weeks, but I felt in love with it eventually. Its delicate cleansing formula has made my hair clean and yet looks smooth and silky naturally. I can feel that my hair is stronger after using it for 2 months now.

[Resort World Genting] Aaron Crow “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly”

WARNING! Alert! Do not read this post if you are a chicken guy! 

So 2 weekends ago my girl and I headed to Resorts World Genting to watch the most extraordinary and creepiest magic show.  Among the must-see shows at Resorts World Genting this year is “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” that features “mystician” Aaron Crow whose one-of-a-kind performance never fails to wow his audience.

With his fusion of magic, suspense, risky stunts and mystery, Aaron had captured the attention of a crowd without uttering a single word. His unmatched power and eloquent silence has long since become his onstage trademark, always leaving his audience at the edge of their seats and longing for more.

Often described as mental artiste extraordinaire or silent mentalist, the Belgian has impressed even the likes of Simon Cowell, and is well-decorated—he was ranked first at the World Championships of Magic, the largest competition of its kind that is held every three years. There, he battled against 150 other world renowned acts in front of a crowd of 2,500 people.

Among Aaron's other international achievements were winning World Champion Mentalism at the 2003 Den Haag XXII World Championships and winning the Wizard Trophy (Phenomenon category) last year.

Dubbed Belgium's foremost international television sensation, Aaron has also appeared in numerous TV and gala shows including the popular “Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde” that featured his Candle and Sword act a whopping three times. Aaron has also appeared in the biggest TV shows in the world and was recently featured in Broadway New York, London West End and the iconic Sydney Opera House. He also enjoyed millions of hits on Youtube.

At Resorts World Genting, Aaron's “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” promises to deliver his unique brand of magic and mystery. The show will be held at the Genting International Showroom daily from 18 March to 15 May 2016, 9pm; with matinee show at 4pm.

Expect an evening of highly original, heart-stopping, thrilling and truly spectacular acts that will leave them at the edge of their seats throughout. In fact, my girl felt a bit scary at first but we were totally amazed with Aaron's entertaining performance! Thanks for bringing us a World class performance!
