I’m not into splurging this month. So, I’m gonna share to you one of my practical mini-shopping sprees that actually transpired a while ago.

Nizoral Shampoo
I’m pretty much annoyed with my scalp right now. It gets flakier and itchier! I think Sunsilk shampoo is not gonna do wonders on me, that’s why I just pulled off a big switch to Nizoral–not because it could make my mane tamer and silkier. I seriously need Nizoral ‘coz my dandruff’s getting waayyy annoyingly serious!
Nizoral shampoo has 10mg Ketaconazole and is used for treatment of mild to moderate dandruff and its associated symptoms of scalp flaking, itching and scaling. It can be used twice a week for 2 to 4 weeks, but I’m meaning to use this every other day. (I wonder how my hair will look like afterwards)
Price: Php 350/ $7.47
Oh well, I’d rather follow the instructions than make it worse.
Mane ‘N Tail Shampoo
You’re gonna think I’ve gone mad using horse shampoo for my locks, but hey, a lot of people use this.
Mane ‘N Tail shampoo has an exclusive original formula containing high lathering, cleansing agents fortified with moisturizers and emollients. Its micro-enriched protein formula proves “down to the skin” cleansing action and conditioning, leaving hair soft and shiny. I just bought a traveler’s pack for a try.
Anyhoos, let’s see if it fairs and pairs well with my current conditioner–L’Oreal Elseve.
Price: Php 60/ $1.28
Panoxyl 4% Cream
This is my current skin saviour of the moment. Since all the flare ups and serious acne agonies are gone, I use Panoxyl as daily maintenance, in order to keep those nasty zits at bay (thanks to its Benzoyl Peroxide formula). I usually buy the gel type. But since the drugstore ran out of gels, I just took home this cream instead. Well, I surely hope Panoxyl’s cream-based product would be less drying but as effective as the gel-based one.
Price: Php 210/ $ 4.48
All Around Wipes + Lactacyd Wipes
Having all around wet wipes in your stash is a must! It’s really versatile that I could use it anywhere. It functions as a makeup remover, hand sanitizer, stain remover, desk & laptop cleaner, etc. I got one from Med Guard that has anti-bacterial properties for a hygienic, germ-free finish. Of course, femme wipes are a girl’s must-have.
Nothing beats Lactacyd feminine wipes for moi.
Price: Med Guard Anti-Bacterial Wipes (30′s) Php 60/ $1.28 & Lactacyd Feminine Wipes (5′s) Php 25/ $ 0.53.
Get these at your nearest Watson’s store (SM Supermarkets nationwide).

Hi Adila!
I already have thick hair, so I can’t guarantee that it really “thickens” the hair although many attest to its prowess! Aside from that, I’m satisfied by it, though not that amazed. It has a nice scent, though it doesn’t linger that long on my hair. It’s also sudsy and bubbly, yet it’s rinsed easily.

[...] I have used the products for 5 days straight. I must admit that I’m not super happy about the products, although I’m glad that the shampoo somewhat helps to soothe the itchiness sans over-drying my hair. Unfortunately, it didn’t do a lot in completely nixing all the dandruff, albeit I could say that it virtually minimized the flakes by a bit, something that cheaper products could also do (such as Nizoral).
