“It’s the first day of Christmas, and y’all are in for a treat because I’m kicking off the holiday season with a surprise unboxing video! If you’ve been following my channel, you know the highly anticipated new product line by Circe Organix won’t be out until March, but your Curly Girlie Sav received an unexpected midnight delivery, and as my followers, y’all are getting an exclusive sneak peek!
“Now, y’all might remember when I posted that bad review of Circe’s deep-conditioning amaranth oil last year, but you know I will always be honest with my Curly Girlies. If I don’t like something, I say it, screw sponsorship. My integrity isn’t for sale! And if you want to try some of my favorite products, they’re linked below, just don’t forget to use the promo code CGSav24 for 10% off when you check out!
“All right, let’s find out what’s in the box! Where’s my scissors…okay, here we go…ouch! Cut myself! I hate when that happens, don’t you? Ew, is that blood? Tee hee, don’t worry, Curly Girlies, I’ll survive. I’m just so excited to open this I got careless!
“Wow. Look at these bottles! Beautiful! Once again, Circe’s packaging is mythic in its perfection. There’s shampoo, conditioner…and here it is, their new Aqua Tofana clarifying rinse—y’all know I’ve been dying to try that. And what’s this? A wand to apply the products—never seen that before! Brilliant.
“Let’s take a look at these ingredients, Curly Girlies. Here’s one I’ve never seen before. ‘Moly extract.’ Apparently, it’s a powerful antioxidant that helps give hair ‘new life.’ Gotta love that. You know what? It’s Christmas. I can’t wait to try these products, so I’m gonna do an impromptu product demonstration! Wait here while I change into my swimsuit and get my shower going!”
“I’m back! I’ve already wet my hair and turned off the spray—can’t waste water! Let’s start with this shampoo. Dipping the wand in, and…hmmm, this is different. It’s so…viscous. That’s a word, right? Yeah, I can see by the consistency that a little of this stuff goes a long way, which is good for our wallets, and we love that, don’t we? And the color… wow, that is…I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black shampoo. Let me look at it in the light. It’s not black…I think…no, it’s actually red. Blackish-red. Or is it Reddish-black? Who knows, right? Circe Organix loves to push boundaries!
“I gotta say, I don’t love the smell. There’s a hint of…is that garlic? But this lather is to die for! I can really feel it cleansing—kind of tingling! It burns a little…but it’s invigorating! I am seeing some hair loss, but as you know, that’s normal for us Curly Girlies, nothing to be concerned about…hmmm, this is more than usual…okay, I need to get this off right now. The instructions say to follow with the Aqua Tofana rinse. Now, this smells much better, a little like almonds! Apply liberally…ah, it’s so soothing! I can see what they were going for here…the active ingredients in this shampoo and rinse complement each other perfectly. I gotta…wow, I’m feeling…I’m feeling a little woozy…shit, I gotta sit down…I…I’m breathing…having trouble…can’t breathe…I need to…my palms, they…what’s wrong with my fingers…my thumbs have gone weird…my heart’s beating like a…I have to…
