Products I've Used Up & Reviews #2 - Hair Product Empties


Clairol Herbal Essences - Break's Over Anti-Breakage Strengthening Conditioner 400ml

This is one of my favourite conditioners! I can't find it in stores anymore not sure whether this is discontinued or not. "Beautiful Ends" may be the replacement. The conditioner scent is lovely - it has a soft honey and milk scent. It leaves your hair very soft, smooth and shiny. This condition hydrated my hair intensively and did protect my hair from breakage, as I have  very damaged hair from bleaching.

Rating: 10/10
Would I repurchase? - Definitely! IF I can find it in stores again that this. 
Would I recommend it? - Definitely! A inexpensive conditioner that does the job and what it claims beautifully? Why wouldn't recommend this beauty? 

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light - Lightweight Nourishing Mask 200ml

Another one of my favourites! The mask hydrates and nourishes the hair very well, leaving my hair soft and shiny. I can't describe the scent but it smell very nice and like a professional salon product. The product itself is very lightweight. It does not weight my hair down, so after blow drying my hair, my hair is left feeling lightweight and fluffy. 

Rating: 10/10
Would I repurchase? - Definitely!
Would I recommend it? - Definitely! A inexpensive mask that nourishes your hair and leaves it soft and lightweight, why not? 

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light - Instant Damage Defence Conditioning Spray 150ml

The product is half oil and half liquid. This is great as it conditions the hair well and leaves it smelling great. Its lightweight and does not weight down the hair. I prefer this over leave in conditioners as my hands won't be cover in product. Its also great for mornings, especially when i'm in a rush. i can just spray this on and quickly leave.


Rating: 9/10
Would I repurchase? - Yes, if I can find it stores that is. >.<
Would I recommend it? - Yes, its great for those always in a rush in the mornings and feel that their hair is a bit dry and needs some nourishment.


MESSHEAD Hair Therapy - Heat Protection Spray 250ml

I brought this from the 99p store for 50p! I was tempting to purchase it since the store was closing down and everything was 50p. Plus I like to try new products, so why not? The heat protection spray is nothing special, it does protect the hair from heat, however I feel that it doesn't protect it fully, especially not from high heats such as 230c. 


Rating: 5/10
Would I repurchase? - If it goes on sale for such a bargain price again.
Would I recommend it? - Yes and No. Yes if you're on a budget or don't want to spend much on haircare. This does the job. However no, if you use high heats like me. As your hair will not be fully protected.

So...? Va Va Volume and So...? Fabulous Dry Shampoo 150ml

Read the full review by clicking here. ^_^

Rating: 9/10
Would I repurchase?: Indeed. ^^
Would I recommend?: 100% - affordable and lovely variety of scents to suit everyone. They also sell  these as a gift set. It comes with all 4 of the scents and in a cute travel size, a great christmas gift. ^^

Attitude - Dry Shampoo 150ml

Another dry shampoo because I really greasy hair. >.< This one smells like raspberries! I love the scent. It's nothing special but does the job and absorbs the oils. However I find this one leaves your hair with quite a lot white residue. 

Rating: 5/10
Would I repurchase? - When i'm running low on money.
Would I recommend it? - Yes and no, yes if you're on a budget or don't want to spend much on haircare. This smells great and it does the job. No for those with dark hair, as you have to wait while before the white residue disappears.

Schwarzkopf - Gliss Shine Tonic - Shimmering Shine & Repair Care 100ml

Read the full review by clicking here. ^_^

Rating: 6/10
Would I repurchase? - Maybe - for something a little extra. The shine it gives is really nice, however I tend to forget to spray it and often neglect the product. 
Would I recommend it? - The tonic is lightweight, it adds extra shine to your hair and makes it tangle less. If thats what you're looking for then yes I do recommend it to you.

So what hair products have you finished using up in the last few months? ^^

Attack On Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin Annie Leonhart Female Titan Halloween Cosplay Make Up

Since its Halloween soon and I didn't want to waste my blonde hair (I'm going to dye it again this week! #typicalme~) I did a cosplay makeup! Dan dan dan dan~ The female titan (女型の巨人メイク) ^.^ I was too lazy to do the neck, but I think it still turned out great. ^^ It was really fun doing this but a complete pain in the ass to remove! >.<


I know my hair is too long for the Female Titan but apologies I am not cutting my hair! xD It needs to grow out the damage yo.

I haven't posted anything Japanese or anime related on my blog before, so this is my first~ ^^ Should I start Japanese culture too? O.o Anyway enjoy the camwhore selfies xDD


Incase if anyone is wondering~ For this look I used normal makeup; I didn't use face paint simply because I don't like the texture and cakey/powdery result. Plus its hard to get hold of in where I live. >.< So whilst everyone else used red face paint, I used red lipstick (Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balm in 250 Standout ^^). My first time doing so and i'll admit it was weird. xDDD On the other hand, I made good use of my resources~ ^_^ As for the black, I used 17's gel eyeliner which I will review soon and link here~ For the highlighted area I used Bourjois's Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer and MUA's white eyeliner. 






What are you guys going to dress up as for this year's Halloween? Let me know :')

KPop Diet #11: F(x) Sulli and Amber Plastic Bag Workout



Sulli and Amber revealed on Star King their method to losing weight and maintaining a toned figure. Its simple and free~ They simply inflate a plastic bag and kick it around in various ways so that the plastic bag doesn't touch the floor. I think this method would help tone your legs further. You can watch the video below to see Sulli and Amber demonstrate it~ ^__^

Skinfood Black Egg Pore Gel Base Review



This was gift from my friend Jasmin~ (Thank you! ^__^) 

Description of the product taken from the Skinfood website:

"A pore-refining primer gel with a velvety finish that improves the appearance of enlarged pores while preparing skin for makeup. The apricot colour base brightens lacklustre skin tones."

The primer comes in pearl-essence white tube, with an egg shaped twist lid. Simple yet interesting. The tube packaging makes it easy to use and very hygienic. 


The primer itself is a light apricot colour, which I love as it corrects and evens out my skin tone, it also brightens up my tired looking skin. The primer does have a light coverage, so you can actually use it on its own like a BB cream. It has a gel texture, with a little silicone. It glides onto the skin nicely and blends in perfectly. I love how it instantly fills in my enlarged pores, making my skin appear smooth. It looks very natural and gives the illusion that pores didn't exist. 


I apply he gel base after my skincare, before applying my BB cream or foundation. This really does help my makeup last longer, which is great. Although it is not a feature, the base does slight help control my oils for a few extra hours too.

Pros:

  • Great packaging - easy to use and hygienic
  • Corrects skin tone and brightens up skin
  • Has light coverage
  • Can use it on it own like a sheer BB cream
  • Blends into skin perfectly
  • Filled in pores
  • Provides oil control

Cons:

  • Has a unique scent that some people may not like

Rating: 9/10

Would I repurchase?

Yes! (although I didn't buy this one xDD but if it did you know... ^^)

Would I recommend?

Most definitely! This is my current favourite primer. Instantly blurs out enlarge pores and corrects skin tone. Helps my makeup last longer and stay in place. Whilst it also helps to keep my oils at bay for a few hours longer too. ^^ An awesome product indeed.

Have you tried any Skinfood products? ^.^
