Reviews reviews!
I haven’t been doing much lately, no thanks to my blog which I think hates me right now and can’t access it without using a proxy. Troublesome!
I have alot of stuff on my mind which I want to write about, so you might see more post than expected! Maybe not too, it all depends on the internet.
Alright then, I shall start my review and you shall read them.
I am a junkie. Specifically, anything beauty related. So I have tonnes of stuff lying around, waiting to be picked up by me. And the worst part, I enjoy buying them even more. >_<
So yeah, I declared my love for Tsubaki, and I still do love it very very much, but it didn’t stop me from buying a new shampoo and conditioner. =_=
Tada! Ascience Deep Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner.
I have been using this for about 2 to 3 weeks, and it should be given a proper review I feel
What tempted me to buy this was the fact that it’s a quite a strong competitor to Tsubaki both in Taiwan and in Japan, and there are quite some raves about it, and I know as a beauty blogger (am I one?, you decide!), I should be trying stuff out instead of using the same old thing over and over
So with it’s classy golden packaging, and with a decent price tag (Both items are selling for RM14.90 each, 220ml each), I’d say it’s not too expensive. It’s cheaper than Tsubaki, well naturally, since there’s no stores selling it right now, with or without a super marked up price. Sigh.
So, how does this compare? Scent wise, it’s pretty much florally-sweeter than Tsubaki White, but lighter than Tsubaki Red. And it has quite a similar scent to Tsubaki. You wanna know why? Because it contains Camellia Oil, an extract found in Tsubaki too! Shall get into that later.
It contains quite a good amount of goodies for your hair, shall list them down right now!
Pearl – Nourishing protein to repair and strengthen
Korean Ginseng – Excellent emollients to moisturize and control frizz (thank god no ginseng smell though!)
Soybean – Nourishing protein to repair and strengthen
Camellia Oil – Excellent emollients to moisturize and control frizz
Eucalyptus extract – Soothing extract to protect and seal in cuticles
Hm, not bad aye? And if it’s not good enough, Ascience also have this Japan’s Advanced M-18 Hair Beautifying Technology that works to restore, replenish and nourish hair to bring back to its original lustrous condition from within. It is due to 18-MEA (I seriously don’t know what that is!), a natural protective coat that wraps around the hair’s surface gets depeleted very easily sue to chemical treatments, blow drying and harmful UV rays, and without 18-MEA, hair is dull, dry and rough. Thus, the Advanced M-18 Hair Beautifying Technology.
Is this for real? You ask. I don’t know. All I know my hair is happy with it. Tee hee.
My hair is soft, smooth and everything, just like using my trusty Tsubaki. However, this one is lighter than Tsubaki, meaning to say that my hair don’t go as oily as fast if I use it on a hot humid day, comparing to Tsubaki itself.
I really think this is a nice product to try, if you have slightly dry hair like mine. And with the price, it’s not too shabby. The bigger bottles, I think about 450ml? Not sure, it’s selling at RM26.90 each. There’s a treatment pack as well, retailing at RM26.90 too, if not mistaken, but I don’t see the need of using the treatment for now as the shampoo and conditioner works well enough.
I would purchase this again, when I run out of shampoo and conditioner. I still have Tsubaki to finish up! Now, if only Tsubaki gets imported in!
Ascience range is easily available at most Watsons and Aeon Wellness aka Jusco outlets.
Me love me hair! What about you?

Hye..I am totally going to try on this one after reading your entry. I have been having problems in finding good shampoo. And yes, why don’t u become the Tsubaki dealer, I’ll be the first to buy from u =) .Is it really great? How are they better from Ascience? Thank you!!

Princess: I don’t have the time to do online business yet
And haven’t source for a trusty supplier, but if I do, I’ll let you all know. Haha! It’s really good, I find it to be better than Ascience when my hair is really dry, but Ascience works for those with normal to slightly oily hair
It isn’t as heavy as Tsubaki~

Hey plue i’ve been using the shampoo for months now and my hair’s loving it. Instead of the conditioner though, I opt for the mask, you should give it a try too and let us know what you think!
