Macherie Air Feel Shampoo

Using the other version of Shiseido Macherie, the Air Feel Shampoo right now. I bought it in the same set of shampoo, conditioner, and treatment for about 1,800yen.

It has the same nice fruity flowery mix fragrance. I expected to be much lighter than the Moisture Shampoo, it's named "Air Feel" after all and from just looking at the bottle, the shampoo itself looks clear. Ha, alas the shampoo is a good example of the ol' true don't-judge-a-product-from-its-appearance (and perhaps name too). It was surprisingly and disappointingly heavy! Believe it or not, I can actually feel it weighing down my hair after washing, and not because I didn't wash my hair well. With the moisture shampoo, my hair feels clean and light and has a tiny bit of squeak, though not too much otherwise it means all the natural oil has been stripped. This "Air Feel" shampoo, however, makes my hair feels like I didn't put enough shampoo on it, even though I always use a full pump! Hmm...

I think I'm going to go back to the Moisture Shampoo or try something else altogether. There are too many other choices out there to be loyal to just one product. Yes, I'm unfaithful like that.

Macherie Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner, and Treatment

Woh it's almost mid September!!!!

My first trip to the local drug store required serious restraint on my part, but I did made off with a few things since, well, we do need some toiletries. The first thing I picked up was this Macherie Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner set with a Moisture Treatment included for about 1,800yen. It was a nice deal since the shampoo and conditioner sold for about 1,000yen each.

And actually, Macherie is actually available in 2 kinds: Airy Feel and Moisture. If I were paying any attention I would have grabbed the Airy Feel one since it's so hot and humid right now and Moisture would be a tad unnecessary. But oh well. I do like what I got. A lot!

Macherie Moisture Shampoo: an opaque pearly pink shampoo that smells heavenly! The fragrance is a mix of fruity and flowery scent, not too overly feminine and not too overpowering either. I didn't feel an immediate softness in my hair during the wash like I did with Asience Shampoo & Conditioner, and my hair didn't actually feel soft after drying either. It didn't started feeling soft until after a few days of use, and once it did, wow, it felt so, very, soft. The best part is that it doesn't weight my hair down or make it oily. I am very happy to say I have finally found a shampoo I like better than Super Mild. And that says a lot since I have tried a bunch of different shampoos but would always go back to Super Mild.

Macherie Moisture Conditioner: This conditioner took me by surprise because it's semi-translucent pink. Not that I've never seen semi-translucent conditioner before, just that when it's called "moisture" conditioner, it would always turn out to be more opaque. This conditioner is great too and does not make my hair greasy.

Macherie Moisture Treatment: this treatment is an even bigger surprise than the conditioner since it is almost completely translucent pink! And even more surprising is that it feels much lighter than the conditioner!

Over all, I love my pick of Macherie Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment. Hubby likes it too and compliments on how soft and shiny it makes my hair. When I run out though, I will definitely go back for the Airy Feel version, just to see what it's like.
