My Review
Don't really remember where this bottle of Dove hair care oil came from. I think it's from sample giveaway from Dove Facebook page. 

Anyway, lets start my review. 

The Dove Nourishing Oil Care Nutri-Oil Serum came pack in a bottle placed inside a plastic box.

The bottle where the oil is placed came in just the right size to hold and it look quite nice to me too. 
Dove oil hair care came in a nice bottle.
A pump came with the bottle for easy use.

As seen from the see through bottle, the oil is light yellow in color and is transparent. And there is a nice fragrance smell, just the same smell from Dove shampoo. 
Can see that he oil is light yellow in color.
How the hair care oil looks like.
The hair care oil feels oily when rub onto my plum. However after applying on my hair end, my hand don't feel oily anymore and I don't even need to wash my hand after that. Also, it does not leave my hair with any oily feeling.

After applying, my hair also became smoother and easier to comb. Its very good for my small frizzy hair. But if my hair is heavily tangle, this hair oil actually does not help. 

Also I don't see my hair shine as it promise. :(

My Review
Que Origin always have their way of making me excited.

Because of gastric issue, I can't drink coffee. But after hearing that Que Origin is coming out with coffee shower gel and body polish, I am so excited. Yes!!! My skin can finally "drink" coffee on my behalf. :D

Lets talk about the shower gel first. 

As always, this coffee shower gel is almost the same as the other Que Origin shower gel except that it is seasonal edition with coffee scent.

Beautiful image on the package.
The coffee shower gel is light brown in color, just like the color of a cup of coffee. :) It has a gel like texture. 
Light brown gel like texture.
As for the scent. I thought it will have a heavy coffee smell just like those you smell in cafe. However, I smell more rose geranium instead and I can hardly smell any coffee scent. Just very very very light coffee smell if you go purposely and carefully smell it after lathering. :(

Same as its other sibling shower gel, it has thin foam and actually it's hard to lather out foam. So I advise using shower puff to make the job easier. 
Thin foam.
It is always great using Que Origin, no matter how many different type of scents and oil they mix and match, my skin always feels clean, smooth and supple after use. Well done!

Now now, I am actually more excited about their new body polish, Jelly-Q!
Que Origin Jelly-Q Coffee body polish.
Que Origin has indeed wow me with their new Jelly-Q creation. It is really one of a kind, different from the usual body polish I use. How is that so? Read on!!!

Jelly-Q coffee came in a 150g plastic tub.

Kudos to the team who is so thoughtful in making sure the product is not contaminated at all times before it's open. Besides a lid to cover and spatula to scoop the content, the whole tub of polish content is covered with a top layer transparent protection Jelly. :)

Remove lid and top layer of content is covered with protection jelly.
So here to remind everyone, remember to remove this top layer protection jelly before you start using the coffee polish inside. :

Remove the top protection jelly before using the content inside.
And I definitely have fun playing with this top layer protection Jelly too before I threw them away. :p
Top layer protection jelly removed.
This is definitely different. After removing the protection jelly, I see 2 types of texture to the polish inside. The darker color having coarse texture and the lighter color having superfine texture. 
Two different texture for your own texture adjustment.
Even before using it, I already smell a strong coffee scent. The side having coarse texture having heavier coffee smell.

With the two different texture, I can have fun adjusting my own polish texture for different part of my body. Yeah!!! This is the point I like most about Jelly-Q.
Superfine texture Jelly-Q Coffee polish.
Coarse texture Jelly-Q Coffee polish.
Mix of superfine and coarse texture Jelly-Q Coffee polish.
It definitely does its job. After using, my skin feels soft and smooth to touch. Dead skin cell removed too.I am definitely going to add Jelly-Q into my list of skin care products now. :)

Overall, this is definitely the first time my skin "drinks" coffee and its really interesting to me.
