Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment Review

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment which has been raved about for a while now and I've only just decided to jump on the bandwagon and try it. I bought the 30ml bottle to try it before I splash out on the large bottles and so far I have been loving it!


At the moment Argon oils are really popular and this hair oil is a blend of both Macadamia oil and Argon oil so you're kind of getting the best of both worlds. Since getting it about a month ago, I've been using this product every day after I as a protectant before I blow dry my hair and to keep the ends intact. I first concentrate the oil on my ends then work the excess on the rest of my hair up to the roots. I can honestly say that from the first use I could feel a dramatic difference in the softness and health of my hair; I was constantly touching my hair and playing with the ends! The amazing thing is that I don't even use a lot of it - I put the top upside down on my hand and as I take it off I allow a little extra to come out and that's it, it's not even a pumps worth which comes with the larger sizes.

I have noticed a drastic difference in the drying time which it claims to reduce by 40-50%. After blow drying I have noticed it keeps my hair sleek and nourished which adds a beautiful shine without leaving my hair fried by the heat. It is also easier to brush though. The texture is quite thick, so it is fairly easy to manage without it running off your hand; however on the hair it feels lightweight and doesn't cause my hair to become greasy. The scent is very natural which I actually like, although I've heard that many people don't like the smell which I guess everyone has different preferences and smells everything differently. This oil is also great for all hair types even oily hair because after 2 or 3 days my hair tends to build up oil at the roots but even while using this product it doesn't cause excess oil build-up.

Overall I really love this product and enjoy using it. I'm definitely going to be repurchasing a larger size with a pump (£60 for 300ml but Amazon does a great discount!) and I can see this is going to be a holy grail product! I'm not even half way through my 30ml bottle and I've had it a month already while using it every day and sometimes twice a day. A little goes a long way and it is definitely worth the money!

Glossybox February 2013

This month’s Glossybox was all about Valentines and came with this beautiful limited edition box. This box is so much nicer and you can tell they have put in more effort this year than last year’s Valentines box with was just plain hot pink. I wasn't as pleased with this box as the January box because none of the products were particularly special and I would have liked to see a bigger branded product this month.


The box was beautifully packed with a hot pink bow and pink shredded paper.


Anatomicals - You Need a Blooming Shower! - £5 for 300ml

This shower gel smells amazing and just like roses! I've had other products from Anatomicals in previous Glossyboxes and I've liked their products however I would have liked to discover and try other brands. The price of this sample is £2.50 which isn't bad considering it's quite a big size.

Micabella Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in Intelligence - £14.95 for 2.5g

This is a really pretty shimmery loose eyeshadow. I did see in other peoples boxes that they had an eyeshadow duo which I was really hoping to receive because I really don't like getting loose pigments because they are so messy and I find they are hard to work with. This eyeshadow is made from 100% natural mica and is said to be waterproof. The price of this sample is £5.98 for 1g.

Miners Cosmetics Lip Colour in Dreamer - £3.99 for 4g

This is a super shimmery pink lipstick that is on the frosty side. It's not the usual shade that I would go for because of the amount of shimmer in it, however I am looking forward to trying it out.

 Sassoon Salon Professional Spray Shine - £14.89 for 250ml

I'm really looking forward to trying this product as it adds shine and UV protection to the hair. My hair is naturally shiny but I enjoy products that enhance the look of my hair. This sample is worth £2.98 for 50ml.

Mememe Cosmetics FatCat Lengthening Mascara - £7.99 for 8ml

I have so many backup mascaras for when I run out but I am excited to try a new brand I haven't heard of before, I think that you can never have too many mascaras because they only last around six months and I love trying new formulas and wands to find the best one out there for my lashes.

Glossybox Extra

As a little extra Glossybox included a heart shaped lollipop.
