Review: Skin Food Avocado Leave-In Fluid

Hello~~

So this is my first update in months. I've been really busy being a new teacher, and adjusting to my new life in Korea. Anyway, I bought this product sometime in August I think? I've been using it for about 3 1/2~4 months now. I bought it in a Skin Food store in Busan, and got it for about $6.00 I want to say?

I like the packaging. It is plastic, but sturdy. There is a plastic cover that you remove, and the product is dispensed using a pump.

Skin Food Avocado Leave-In Fluid

Size: 110ml

An intensive leave-in hair treatment lotion that contains avocado oil to nourish and moisturize dry, damaged hair.

Description: After shampooing, apply a small amount of elixir daily Leave-In fluid to wet hair. Do not rinse out.

Swatches

Sorry this picture is kinda washed out...still experimenting with my camera

The product feels like a light moisturizer. it isn't too liquidy, but it isn't super thick either.

How I Use this Product

The description says to use it on wet hair, but I prefer using it on damp or slightly dry hair. After I shower, I apply it after my hair is partially dry. I use about two pumps, spread it in my hands, then run it through my hair from roots to tips. I tend to focus the product on the top of my head, where most of my flyaways are.

My Thoughts on the Product?

Love love love. It doesn't really smell like avocado (even though avocados don't have a strong scent anyway). It just smells really, really good. I can't describe the smell, but it has a very subtle clean, fruity smell. It's mild and I like it. The product always applies very well. 

The product spreads easily, and doesn't cake up or get oily. I don't usually like leave-in products because it usually makes my hair feel greasy or something, but this product doesn't do that at all. It leaves my hair looking shiny, feeling silky soft, and really helps tame those flyaways! 

Who do I Recommend this Product to?

Anyone with dry, damaged hair or with a lot of flyaway hairs.

Rating: 5/5

Pros:

- Low maintenance (just spread it in your hair & you're done)

- Smells good

- Tames flyaways

- Leaves your hair looking shiny and smooth

- Affordable

- You only need a little at a time

Cons:

- None

Updates on my Life and Blogging

My Life: Fulbright Korea...

So it's been like what...since April since I last posted? 7 months ago? Sorry for the lack of updates. Things have been a whirlwind since my graduation in June actually. I got the Fulbright, and after going through a lot of changes/adjustments this year...I am happy to say that I am sorta settled comfortably in my new city in Korea.

I'm living in a city called Gumi, in the Gyeonsangbuk-do province. I've been here since the beginning of July, so it's been about 4 1/2 months already. I'm loving it so far, and if you're interested in following my Fulbright Korea journey you can read about it here: http://shadeofjadeblog.wordpress.com/

I update my Fulbright blog frequently (about once every 3-4 days).

Updates

So the question now is...when will I be updating again? I mean obviously the best time to be blogging about Korean beauty/skincare is when I am actually in South Korea. Which is now. I will be here for a whole year and let me tell you...I've tried a ton of new and cool products in the past few months. Reviews are way overdue. 

I actually just ordered a new camera online, so once the camera comes in, I want to start getting into beauty blogging again. There's a lot I've been trying out, so I want to share my thoughts. Hopefully in the coming week or so I will start updating a bit more regularly again.

Look forward to it!~~
