Hair haul:

I came across this amazing bundle offer on Boots by Lee Stafford. It's the hair growth range 'for hair that never grows past a certain length' phew that's a mouthful.



You get two shampoo's, two conditioners and two hair treatments.
I have used the shampoo and hair treatment before, it gave my hair the kick start in growth it needed when I started to grow my pixie cut type hairstyle out. I noticed the treatment made hair fallout a little less, and that's the main reason I am using it again, and I want to add some more inches to my hair. My hair is stubborn and takes its time growing. 

I have friends that can have their hair cut into a bob, and in 6-8 months time its back way past their shoulders and beyond. Mine on the other hand would need years for that. I'm not too far away from my goal now, but it has been a long long time. I will kick my hairs ass with this bundle =] it better watch out. 

This does have quite a strong perfume smell to it, a bit headachey really, so if you don't like strong smelling products, this isn't for you. The smell takes me back to being in high school when I used the heat protectant. 

This set was £25, and you save just over £20. It's so worth it. I couldn't miss out on a deal like that! It's expensive and every saving helps. Buy it here .

That's all for hair, I have a makeup haul coming up next.

Hair haul:

Hello there! I recently purchased some hair products from Superdrug.


First up we have these VO5 cherish my colour shampoo and conditioner, which were on offer for 2 for £6. These are the 500 ml versions.


I have been wanting to dye my hair for a while, and decided on red (mango copper burst). Most of my hair was my natural colour with just the ends being dyed dark brown. These were on buy one get one free. This is Superdrug's own brand.


As its such a hassle dying my own hair I picked up this tinting brush which made things a little easier.


This is the final result, and as you can see the brown dye is very much noticeable. I'm not too worried about it as it will be cut out shortly. My roots took really well to it. I may dye it again to see if it will make a bit more of a difference.


Update: I have now dyed my hair a second time. I think it looks more vibrant and more of the colour I was looking for.


I will add all of the links shortly in case anyone is interested.

That's all for now, see you shortly,

Hair product haul/review:

A while back I picked up some cheap hair products from ASDA, a shampoo and hair mask. I also picked up the same brand (no specific name) gift set containing a shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment. I'm not sure how much this set cost me, but the other products only cost me £1 each!


Here are the first two hair products that I purchased- shampoo and hydrating hair mask. I've enjoyed using these, but if you have oily hair be careful! I tend to use the shampoo twice, as once never seems enough to eliminate all the grease in my hair, its a nightmare having oily hair at times. Sometimes the day after washing it grease has already started to appear, and I wash my hair every other day, sometimes on the 3rd day if I'm lucky. In between washes I just use my dry shampoo.

So once I've washed my hair twice giving it a good lather up, I then squeeze all the excess water out of my hair (says to towel dry, but I don't want to be climbing out the shower until the end) and then apply my hair mask. I love this hair mask, its very thick but has a strong smell which reminds me a bit of chocolate lime sweets smell, mainly a strong lime smell. It's strong and can be quite a headachey smell, but if you don't mind that then its fine! It says to leave in hair for 7-10 minutes but I never have time for that, so I try and aim for 5 mins, once I managed about 7 mins. It definitely hydrates your hair, and seems to help keep the ends of my hair in shape. Again if you have oily hair keep it away from your roots, it does say to apply at the roots, but I don't. It's perfect for dry hair if your in need of some moisture.


This is the consistency of the hair mask, you can see how thick it looks.


And this is the gift set. It contains the shampoo again, conditioner (which I hadn't tried before), and the Hair treatment. I haven't used these as much as the first two products I purchased. The conditioner obviously isn't as rich as the mask, so is much more suited to everyday use.

Here is the information about the conditioner:

  • Contains moroccan argan oil extract
  • rejuvenates and rehydrates leaving hair shiny, smooth and healthy
  • its cleansing and nourishing
  • for all hair types
  • helps with moisture and softness along with manageability
  • and to leave it on for 3-5 minutes

Information about the hair treatment:

  • contains moroccan argan oil extract 
  • its an intensive hydrating treatment
  • repairs and rejuvenates 
  • leaves hair shiny, smooth and healthy
  • you apply this to towel dried hair without rinsing

This feels like an oil, it says to use 2-3 drops on the hair, and 4 to 5 drops for longer hair. I only used one drop to put on my ends, and my ends felt amazing. Due to my hair being oily I wouldn't put this allover my hair, only where I need it most. 

I would rate the shampoo an 7/10, the hair mask a 9/10, the conditioner a 7/10, and the hair treatment a 9/10. This range is so inexpensive, I would recommend it to people on a budget as I know how expensive argan oil products can be. It definitely does what it says on the tin, and adds moisture. It works well for my hair, but it would be really beneficial for those with dry hair. 

I will be back with more reviews soon, see you later,

Bargain beauty haul:

Well hello there! This will be another short and sweet haul! I picked these up from the £1 section in ASDA...yep just £1 each!


I haven't tried them yet so I cant tell you how they perform..but for £1 each, if they don't work then its not a big loss. On the other hand they could be fab for the price, so I cant wait to test them out.

An overview of the argan oil shampoo:
  • Argan oil is obviously included into the formula, which we all know is raved about
  • it says it nourishes and moisturises leaving hair shiny, smooth and healthy
  • it's cleansing and hydrating
  • revives hair for soft, shiny results
  • suitable for all hair types

An overview of the argan oil hair mask:
  • its a hydrating hair mask
  • intensive conditioning treatment 
  • also cleansing, hydrating, and nourishing (same with the shampoo)
  • its enriched with proteins and keratin
  • helps to revive dry and damaged hair
  • helps rebuild strength and restore elasticity 
  • formulated to help improve texture and manageability 
  • leaves hair looking healthy and shiny 
  • can be used on all hair types
  • you leave this to soak in for 7-10 minutes before rinsing out

I have used a argan oil shampoo and conditioner before, so looking forward to trying this out and reporting back to you guys!

See you soon,
