Function of Beauty Review

Disclaimer: Hair Mask and Hair Serum were sent by Function of Beauty for review. Opinions are my own.

Happy October! The leaves are starting to change and I’m wearing sweaters again. the most magical time of the year!

Today I’m reviewing the two newest products from Function of Beauty that launch today!

Introducing the Custom Hair Mask and the Custom Hair Serum!

Hair Mask and Hair Serum

I’ve previously reviewed Function’s shampoo and conditioner and leave-in treatment. That blog got deleted with my other blog entries when I switched blog platforms. But here’s a TLDR:

  • Did not like the Shampoo and Conditioner. Thought it was too stripping and did not clean well
  • Liked the leave-in
  • Think the reasons I did not like the S&C was because of my hair goal choices

Moving on! Based on my past experience, I decided to approach these products differently. Every Function of Beauty order is custom made for you! You begin your order with a quiz to build your hair profile(Hair Type, Hair Structure, and Scalp Moisture) then you select your hair goals, fragrance, and color.

I approached my Hair Goals a little differently this time. You can choose up to 5, and in my first function order I chose 5 without thinking about them. This time I thought about what I really wanted, and also what goals would compliment each other. I ended up only choosing 4 this time but the experience has been so much better!

For fragrance I picked ‘Feeling (f)ineapple’ a yummy pineapple coconut mix. You can customize the color of the hair mask(I forgot to do this) but not the hair serum.

Now onto the Reviews!

The Custom Hair Mask

Hair Mask Texture

An intensive, Deep conditioning mask that’s designed to hydrate and nourish dry, damaged hair in minutes. Apply directly after shampooing evenly coat your hair mid-shaft to end. Comb through to get the best application. Keep on for the recommended time(personalized for you!) then rinse.

Quick Facts:

  • 7.5 oz Jar
  • $19
  • Customizable Color and Scent
  • Key ingredients include Argan Oil, Jojoba Ester Oil, Japanese Sake.
  • For best results use once a week

Review: I love this hair mask! I’ve used it 3 times and my hair was soft and shiny and smelt wonderful all day! Function recommended I leave it on for 5-10 minutes, which is the perfect time frame. The little comb they sent is perfect for dispersing the product through my thick, wet hair. Also works great as a quick conditioner as well. And $19 dollars is not a bad price for almost 8oz of hair mask.

Custom Hair Serum

Hair Serum

A lightweight, customizable finishing product that’s designed to help enhance shine, smooth frizz, and increase hair’s overall manageability. Apply as a styling or finishing product.

Quick Facts:

  • 3oz bottle
  • $19
  • Customizable Color and Scent
  • Key ingredients include Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Anatto Oil, Sunflower Oil.
  • Can be used on wet and dry hair.

Review: Overall, a solid product! It has not replaced my beloved verb ghost oil as a daily finishing product, but I do enjoy it a lot. It’s not heavy or greasy, and does give an great smooth, hydrated look. I only use it on wet hair, so I can’t speak on how it performs on dry hair. But definitely a fan!

123FRE Set Review

Welcome to the first blog post of my relaunched blog! Start it off good and simple. With a Review!

Thank you to Fre Skincare for sending there 123FRE set for review!

A little about Fre Skincare. Fre was designed with women who work out in mind. It’s for the person who goes running on the beach and doesn’t want to worry about their sunscreen breaking up and their skin getting dehydrated. 123Fre set is your daily routine. a comprehensive 3 step routine that creates a “clear complexion and healthy glowy skin.”

QUICK FACTS!

  • Price: $115
  • 100% money back guarantee
  • Free shipping
  • An Argan Tree is planted in Morocco for every set sold

INITIAL THOUGHTS

I’m a skincare after workout kinda gal(except a splash of water and vitamin c serums.) So a skincare line specifically designed to be used in conjunction with workout appealed to me. Though I’ve never jogged on a beach and usually work out indoor, skincare before, during, and after workouts is important!

PACKAGING
I’m a sucker for the pale blue and white packaging. It feels clean and refreshing. However, they aren’t smudge proof. When I traveled over labor day I hastily packed my skincare and makeup in one bag, these beautiful blue boys attracted the random loose powders from the nearby products. Easy to clean but a little annoying.

THE PRODUCTS

3 products come in the 123Fre Set

Purify Me: Honestly my least favorite of the set. It’s a nice product. A creamy cleanser with round physical exfoliants. Which are unfortunately my least 2 favorite forms of cleansers. However, it is a good cleanser. It does leave your skin clean and physical exfoliants are not irritating. But I just prefer other types of cleansers. Also not a fan of the squeeze bottle packaging.

Revive Me: A deep replenishing serum. I love this serum! I love a lightweight hydrating serum in the morning. I find myself reaching for this over my other favorites recently. It’s fast absorbing and brings life to your skin.

Protect Me: Daily moisturizer with SPF 30. A nice lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer . No white cast and sits well on skin. I still apply an SPF on top because 30 is a little low. But it layers well with other SPF and makeup. A great moisturizer if you hate moisturizer.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s a great set. and it’s a MUST if you want to get started with Frè.
