If you read my previous blog post, and FB and Insta posts, you'd know that Spa Ceylon is my current obsession. If you have not read my First Impression Review for the Neroli Jasmine Hair Conditioner by Spa Ceylon yet, you can read it here.

This Scalp and Hair Care Discovery Set was a Gift by the fiancé, *wink wink*, we were looking for the Neroli Jasmine, but the outlet didn't have the product, and I was told the Aloe Vera is mainly for Hair fall, but it's Aloe Vera, you can never go wrong with that, hence got this.

Package

It's not a very big package, but is cute and handy, easy to carry around, and the products in are a little bigger than the testers. If you wonder what the purpose of this set can be, read till the end. 😸 

Also, the packaging is adorned with the Royal Insignia inspired by the Royal Kandyan Court of Ancient Ceylon.

Fragrance

Honestly, I love the Neroli Jasmine over this, it's very feminine, and yes, calms the senses. Aloe Vera on the other hand, smells very herbal and slightly spicy. Like an aftershave. A very manly fragrance. A fragrance that can be tolerated though. But like the description says, it does uplift your mood.

What I think about it

I didn't see myself using the Cleansing Bar, so I gave it away. I've used only the Oil Mist till now, and it is really good, though it is 10 ml, when you spray, only a little dispenses, so it could last a while, and the size of the bottle makes it travel friendly, just spritz some when you want to.

I usually use 3 drops of oil after a shower as a leave on, and this is no different, which is why I love it. 

Even if you decide to buy the bigger size, you could always refill this cute bottle with it. I personally feel that the idea of a mist is much easier, less messy.

I'm yet to use the the remaining 3, Cleanser, Balm and  Scalp Massager and pretty sure I will love them too. Spa Ceylon is one brand that did not disappoint me or my hair. 

(Reminds me of this time I purchased a local "Herbal" face pack, which apparently has Venivel, but did smell like hair gel, and gave me pimples that literally scarred me for while) 

If I'm to purchase the bigger sizes of these, I'd probably buy the Hair Nourishing Balm, the Neroli Jasmine of course, cause that is the best for my hair type. 

I've been looking for a Chemical Free Treatment / Deep Nourishing Mask for over a year now, and buying online is just not worth it.  Shea Moisture was my first choice, but 30$ with shipping, NOPE! Not now.....

Price: 2200 for a set of 5 pcs (Close to 15 US $)

Why would I purchase this? 

I'm pretty sure this has been on your mind from the beginning, the purpose of buying this, but here is the catch, this serves as a Novelty Gift, Sample Pack or simply a Guest indulgence set. 

If you have foreign friends or relatives coming over to your place, for a stay, this set ensures that they feel home and hotel in one place.Just leave these products in the guest bathroom. (Spa Ceylon also has Bath and Body Care Sets, check out their Discovery Sets here)

This is also a great gift for a loved one, just pair it up with a pillow mist or a few balms, and you've given them the most luxurious gift ON A BUDGET. (No, seriously, for 3k or 5k, you can buy a handful)

One more reason to buy this, if you want to buy all their products, but you can't at once, just buy one of these discovery sets, you have your own cute set of samples, if one of these works best and you love it, you can go ahead and buy that particular product, or just keep buying these cute sets if you like. 

Update March 2017

I used the Cleanser and Scalp Massage Oil, and know what I think about them? Check out the quick review below

Hair Cleanser: My very first thought while I carried this to the bath was that I might need a conditioner, cause usually cleansers just help in keeping your scalp squeaky clean, and doesn't make a huge difference on your hair, especially if it is dry hair.

I was hoping that this cleanser would do the same. It lathers up a little, not as much as other shampoos, but enough to clean the scalp, and less lather is usually good. 

The smell on the other hand, is most definitely a wake me up, but also refreshing. And I was slightly worried that a 60 ml bottle wouldn't last long, but I've been using enough for over 2 months, and I've got 3/4th of the bottle to go. 

The after result is the most amazing, because I used it only on my scalp, and NOT on my hair like I would with other shampoos, and I was hoping to use my Neroli Jasmine conditioner after washing it off. There was no need for the conditioner, the cleanser did the job.

So, not only did it clean my scalp and lift my spirits, it also did condition my hair. And the best part was that I didn't use any hair product, oil or a leave on, before or after the bath.

Scalp Massage Oil: There is nothing extra ordinary about this product, but it wouldn't make a big difference to me cause I do a scalp massage with a herbal oil once a week anyway. But the biggest plus was the fragrance, just pour in your scalp, and massage with a spider massager, HEAVEN at Home!

My only disappointment with the Oil was the dispensing part, It would've been much easier to dispense and less messier if it had the inner lid with the tiny hole (I have no idea what it's called, but the one most commonly found in oil bottles).

But other than that, it IS good 👌

Didn't get the time to try the Nourishing Balm yet, will do soon, and update once I'm done with it, something says that I'm going to love it the most. 😉

Is it Worth it? Y.E.S

Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5

Note

I've had many hair related issues from my early teens, so I never grew it out till I was like 15. And it is now that my hair is having like the best time of it's life.

We live in a world where having curls means you should be embarrassed, and feel like the odd one out, and I've honestly gone though all the phases, and put my hair through so much trouble, from heat damage to chemical damage.

But after finding the right products, and learning how to properly care for curly hair, I am no longer shy or embarrassed to embrace what I was born with. My curls together make my crown.

And among the many products, Spa Ceylon range of hair products have definitely done the best, my curls are more defined and no more dry, flaky itchy scalp, or annoyingly creepy nits.


Sometimes you don't need dozens of products for a healthy hair or skin, just a few, but the best is more than enough, and it is money well spent.
