So we all are familiar with Marley twists, right? Just about every natural or almost every natural has rocked them at least once in her journey, including myself! But, I always wondered how they would look rocked on our hair sans extensions. Well I was in luck because, yup you guessed it, I found a […]
Blue Magic. Scurl. Queen Helene. Cholesterol. Do these names ring a bell? I know for me these were common products (along with Pink Lotion) that were used on my hair as a child, and you know what? My hair thrived! For most of us, once we were exposed to the healthy hair care world, most […]
The other day my mom decided that it was time to clean out her beloved closet. Now, when it comes to clothes she is a serious hoarder and has even started creeping into the guest bedroom closet and mine since I am away at school. I knew this would be a daunting task that would […]
So I am so excited to share this tutorial with you guys. No it’s not a bun, or a fancy updo, or a twist style. It’s a ponytail. Now before you guys ask “What is so interesting about a ponytail? Well, I’m gonna tell ya! Now this is not just any ponytail, it is a […]
Thinning hair is an issue for many women whether you are relaxed, natural, or colored. For one not all women are able to grow thick hair based on genetics. Your diet and stress can have a part in thinning hair but external factors and caring for your hair could also play a significant part on why […]
I think that all of us know the versatility of Marley hair. You can do every natural style with Marley hair from twists to crochet braids, but I think that for me this the first time that I have seen Marley used in a jumbo flat twist bun/updo. This bun is absolutely gorgeous and is […]
Since sheet masks came into my life, I've always wondered if there was a way to bottle that deliciously hydrating serum. Heck, at one point I was bottling the stuff myself. But I was never able to collect a large enough amount to create the type of access to pure sheet mask serum I wanted.
There a ton of serums out there to choose from. But they always come in mini 1 or 2 oz jars. This triggers my scarcity mentality that forces me to use tiny amounts on my face.
So my search began for a sheet mask formula in a bottle. I wanted a serum that was as hydrating as a sheet mask but in a full-size container. I wanted the opportunity to use it on my face and body, as needed, without the fear of running out too quickly.
.....oh, and I wanted the product to be affordable.
Although my demands were pretty high, I still was able to find the exact product that met every single one of my conditions. Best of all, my miracle serum was developed by a brand that I already know and love.
Obviously, whenever anyone is looking for a hydrating serum, hyaluronic acid has to be the go-to hero ingredient. In my humble opinion, no one does hyaluronic acid better than Hada Labo. They developed and patented Super Hyaluronic Acid. This is the key to why their products hydrate so darn well.
Not long ago, I introduced you to their HA Milky Moisturizer. Once I had that product in my possession, I thought I could retire my search. But, there was more work to be done because I wanted an ultra-hydrating serum that was almost identical to sheet mask serum.
Thankfully, I didn't have to search far and wide because Hada Labo had the exact product that I had in mind.

AMAZING product!!! I totally love this lotion - it's completely transformed my skin from dehydrated and tight to soft, smooth and hydrated. Plumps up fine lines and you literally need a few drops under your moisturizer - so is excellent value for money as I can imagine this bottle lasting me a good 6-8 months at the very least.
This is fantastic under makeup which glides over the skin. I use this after cleansing and toning and after serum, but before a moisturizer. Even the fine lines under my eyes look much better. I rarely say this about any product, since I tend to constantly change what I use, but this is a definite holy grail product and I can honestly say that from now on, I will not be without it.
Same.....I will never be without it either. Imagine having the ability to moisturize the skin to intense levels without having to apply a sheet a mask. Yes, sheet masks are great, but I don't always feel like whipping one out.
I'm not the only one who thinks that this sheet serum performs like a sheet mask. One reviewer called this her go-to for when she doesn't have time to sheet mask. Another person described this product as "SUPREMELY hydrating....like sheet mask level." I couldn't agree with her more.
I'm extremely happy that they developed a supreme version of their HA serum. Since owning this product, I'm purchasing fewer sheet masks. But....after researching for this article, I read a review where someone recommended using this serum under a sheet mask. She claims that her skin became plump and bright and the experience was like a sheet mask times 100 when this serum is layered underneath.
I have to admit....her suggestion has me kinda intrigued. I remember trying a sheet mask while in the shower and the results were intense. I'm sure this idea of layering under a sheet mask has a similar effect of amplifying the hydration potential to the utmost.
I might have to try that!
***also.... I didn't know that they also made a milky version of the Premium lotion until today. Obviously, I will be purchasing this in the near future. Can't wait to compare it to the original***
