Kerastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Cream Review
What the Company claims: Drawing inspiration from our legendary Elixir Ultime Oil, we have now created a unique concept in hair care – the revolutionary ‘Elixir Ultime Beautifying Cream’.
Infused with the goodness of oil, the ease of a cream and the lightness of a silk veil, it was created for the Kérastase woman of today, who deserves and expects perfection and pampering, in every aspect of her life.
Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Beautifying Oil Cream beautifully nourishes and softens hair without weighing it down.
Enriched with the Oleo-Complexe and infused with the delicate floral scent of Millennium Rose, Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Beautifying Oil Cream is a versatile beautifying oil which protects hair against external aggressors.
Directions: Apply Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Beautifying Oil Cream to damp hair. Leave in.
MRP: Rs.2200/- for 150ml
Ingredients:
I have tried lots of hair serums from different brands, also the Kerastase Resistance Fibre Architecte Serum which I loved but had not tried the Elixir Ultime Oil yet. I had heard lots of good things about it and then I got the chance to try their recent new launch, the Kerastase Elixir Beautifying Oil Cream which co-incidentally came with the Elixir Ultime Classic Oil.
The Kerastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Cream comes in a long golden tube packaging, the only con with the tube packaging is one cannot know how much product is left inside.
It comes seal packed, so you can be rest assured of the product and also there is no spillage before you open and try the product, as happens with a few without the seal, being smeared all around in the cap.
It is a white colored cream, very light and runny in texture, it feels almost water based, even though it is oil based. It has very tiny shimmer particles which will be left all over your hands, after using it on the hair.
I take a tiny pea sized amount and use it from 2 inches above the roots to the tips, as mentioned. I add in extra if I feel I need more, but that is very rare.
Residue Shimmer
I love how light weight it is, that it blends seamlessly and just evaporates from the hair like you haven’t applied anything at all. I use it on still a bit damp but towel-dried hair and let it air dry naturally.
It has controlled about 90% of my frizz even in these monsoons when I face the frizz issue the most. My hair is soft and smooth to touch post drying and the tiny shimmer is what gives the hair a nice shine too.
Only caution I would like to mention is do not use too much or it weighs down the hair and gives it a wet look.
I also use it in one other way, i.e. mixing the Kerastase Beautifying Oil Cream with a little bit of Kerastase Elixir Ultime Classic Oil and then applying the combo, it works like MAGIC! Trust me, my hair feels and looks the best with this combo.
Mixing both
I can just say I am in LOVE with this! I absolutely love this Beautifying Oil Cream and highly recommend it!
Only con I would say is the price, it’s a bit on the higher side and the availability, it is salon-exclusive or you would get it at stand-alone Kerastase stores. But 150ml is still a very good quantity,considering most Kerastase products are 30 to 50ml for around the same price.
