Thursday Plantation Ultra Hydrating Macadamia Oil Review

Packaging : Minimal & elegant.Colour scheme of eco friendly, natural product. Text was large enough to read easily

Bottle: The pump top is brilliant, size fits in the hand well and it’s not too heavy to make application awkward when the bottle gets slippery. The nozzle has a clear cap to go over the top of the pump to prevent spills

Applying: The viscosity of this product is great! I’m not a fan of thick oils as they are hard to wash off your hands after application, on the other side the runny ones tend to drip through your fingers and can be messy. I found this product to have a perfect balance. Application was easy – Not messy and the product easily washed off.

The scent:This product is scented with Lavender, and it’s not subtle. Personally I cannot stand the smell of Lavender so I tried to put this aside and be subjective…. Sooo if you’re a fan of lavender then this scent would be right for you.

The Results : I have been using this product on my face, legs and a section of my hips that has stretch marks. I have been applying it morning and night. I expected a plethora of spots and blackheads on my face given that it is an oily product- I have been pleasantly surprised! No increased amount or size of black heads/spots. I was apprehensive about applying it on my legs in the morning as I was worried that my legs would go slimey at the gym with the sweat and the oil, but my fears were unfounded. This product has genuinely surprised me with it’s ability to be rapidly absorbed into the skin and stay there. One downside though is the shiny factor – you do get a bit of a shine on the face. Blotting paper/blotting powder or a quick wipe with a tissue sorted it out. I am impressed with how soft and supple my skin is feeling and I have found my combination skin on my face is actually improving with the use of this product, it has a dewy youthful look to it now. Around my eyes which are usually quite crinkled appear to be a bit more plump and less crinkled. I also suffer from psoriasis sometimes, this product has not triggered any psoriasis , yay ! My legs – which I have been neglecting in winter had become dry and scaly, are now looking better and are very soft. I’ve only had about a week constant use with this product, the general results thus far are really pleasing. No difference in appearance with the stretch marks, but that was wishful thinking- the product did not claim to help with stretch mark appearance.

Would I buy it again: I would love to buy this product again IF it had a different scent. I think this product would be my go to and would replace my body lotion and facial moisturizer, if only I could stand the smell !

This oil comes in a clear bottle with a pump. It is a light straw colour and is lavender scented. I originally bought this for my face, and it is nice but doesn't absorb as well as almond oil or apricot kernel oil. So I use it on my body as an after shower moisturiser. Although it seems quite thick, it massages into my skin really well and my skin drinks it up. The lavender scent appears to be quite strong, but quickly fades leaving a light floral scent on my skin. I also use it on my hair as a pre wash deep conditioner and it makes my hair feel strong and soft. Definitely a new fav for body and hair care. Will be repurchasing.

Such an amazing product to use. It comes in a pastic clear jar with a pump. The oil has a nice lavender scent to it, can be quite overpowering. It has a thick texture to it but feels nice when applying to skin, it has like a soothing calming feeling to it. I love to use the product mixed in with my conditioner, ive found it to make my hair feel silky smooth and not greasy. Love the product

This oil had the unhappy misfortune of being next after I finished using Linden Leaves Aromatherapy oil - a hard act to follow.

So it comes in a small pump bottle, that is simple and easy to use, with no waste. The oil is pale yellow, moderately thick, and soft. It has a smell that is neither pleasant nor unpleasant, just oily. It absorbs quite well. It is gentle on my skin and doesn't irritate anything.

I've been using it twice per day after cleansing my skin. It's ok, fairly moderate to be fair.It has some lovely ingredients. And it is lacking a lot of nasty stuff and is not tested on animals - all pluses. It is probably at the same standard as most facial oils for me - not the best I've used and not the worst. It is a good price though so that might sway some people. It is definitely worth a try for people who like using oils. Oh, and I saw an interview with Rachel Hunetr the other day, where she said she always uses oils. That's a good reason to try oils!

I have been using this on my face with great results. Used in the morning it keeps my face feeling smooth and hydrated all day. The pump bottle makes getting the right amount of oil easy and saves time. I received this in a beauty box but seeing the RRP I'm not sure if I would buy it for that price.

I have very sensitive skin so I was worried this product would interfer with my skin more. I wash my face towel dried and applied the oil. The oil itself wasn't heavy and my skin sucked it up. My skin on my face didn't feel it had much on it. The smell is a little strong but not to the point you can't stand it after a while it soothed away. I jumped into bed woke up this morning and my skin was so soft! I washed again applyed the oil then applied skin food light moisturizer and put on my make up as normal. This was slightly different my skin was soft and make up was easy to put on the oil didn't mess with my foundation. With daily use i could see this product being awesome i will definitely be buying more of it.

I get really dry elbows and knees, and i never knew how bad it actually was until I started using the Macadamia Oil. I can run my hands over my knees and elbows without it feeling like sandpaper. Smells good! Didn't expect it to smell like that but its nice! I didn't really want to use it on my face because i get really oily skin but trying it after cleansing and washing my face, My skin wasn't oily at all but nice and soft and plump! I recommend to all people who want nice soft plump skin!

This product is AMAZEBALLS - The Packaging offers a soft neutral effect that is attractive. The oil itself comes out feeling rather "thick" but once you start rubbing it into your skin it quickly absorbs and leaves your skin feeling delish all day long.

If I were to compare this to what I think is a similar product - Bio Oil which I also love - The Macadamia Oil will win hands down.

It is cheaper, it seems to last longer, it feels more natural on my skin, does not leave a scent that can get tiring or sickly throughout the day.

I used some on my sons eczema and its helping him look fresh and vibrant instead of dry!!!!

The only thing I was not to keen on was using this product on my face as it does give a "thick" feeling to it but on my tummy, arms and legs its amazing and I would be happy to purchase more.

The Macadamia Nut oil is great value for $21.99

Thursday Plantation oil is my first product that I got to review on this site. I wasn't aware of Thursday Plantation products until I became a member of this site.

Thursday Plantation oil comes in a large 125ml bottle retailing at $21.99. The bottle is easy to use. Its a pump bottle that's easy to get the product out of it.

My skin type was dry. My specific dry areas on my body are nose, feet, inbetween fingers and hands. Within a week of using this oil instead of a moisturiser I noticed my skin becoming hydrated.

My results from using this within a week was hydrated skin. I had plenty of product left in a bottle. One bottle lasted me one month with daily use. I've loved this product so much I've repurchased it twice. I've used it on my partner and children and will continue to buy it.

My first impressions of this product is that the packaging was a bit cheap looking, granted it is a lower end brand but I'm used to using face oils in glass with pretty packaging. It has a pump to distribute the product which is less fiddly than the droppers other brands offer.

On my first application I was really hit with the strong lavender smell. I am not a huge fan of lavender and don't like overtly scented face products as I mix and match from other brands and don't want to over power the other products I use.

Aside from the horrible scent this oil was quite nice to use. It easily absorbed into my skin after being massaged. The texture was perfect; not too thick and not too runny. I feel like it gave me a good level of hydration and my face feel smooth and soft. My under eye area has become a bit plumper too. I use the leftover product to give myself a quick hand massage as I have super dry hands and it's made my cuticles a bit softer too.

All in all I feel that this is a very reasonably priced product which I will continue to use, i don't think I would repurchase though as I really don't like the lavender scent.
