F.A.S.T Shampoo and Conditioner | Review


I have styled, cut, straightened and dyed my hair so much since I was little (I was dying my hair red from the age of around 10!), that no matter how much i try to grow it, my hair just sits limp and lifeless. Six months on from my last hair cut, my hair still wasn't growing at all, not even slightly! So I knew I needed to take matters even further, and I found a shampoo called Fast. I was pretty dubious about buying it at first, as for a small shampoo and a small conditioner, it is £29.99! Considering there were hardly any reviews about this product, I knew it was a big risk for this kind of miracle hair growth treatment. But man am I happy with the results!
             
I realise the pictures aren't the best quality, and i'm really gutted that I didn't take a proper before/after picture. To be honest, I didn't think it would work as well as it has done, so I didn't really bother. But hopefully you can really tell just how much my hair has grown in such a short amount of time. My hair is now the longest it has ever been. Also note that in the first picture, my hair was straight, and since using the shampoo, i have not straightened my hair at all. So in the second picture, my hair is wavy, so some of the length is lost to the waves. You can hopefully also tell just how thick my hair has got from using the shampoo. It was pretty thick before, but now it is like a lion's mane.
I feel the need to mention, however, that if you are going to try this shampoo, do buy a high quality conditioner to use with it. Although you get a conditioner with it, I didn't find it was the best, and often sent my hair greasy really quickly. The reason I say all of this is because i've found that the shampoo alone leaves your hair extremely dry. The instructions also say to use it every single day, which I haven't even bothered with. Unfortunately i'm not made of money and my hair isn't in the best condition to begin with (plus i'm too lazy to wash it every day), so I chose to only substitute my old shampoo for my new one, when washing my hair every other day. So considering I ignored their instructions, I say their shampoo has improved my hair massively. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking to grow their hair at a faster rate.

100 Bloglovin' Followers!

This was my face when I recieved the email telling me i now have 100 followers on bloglovin'

I never in a million years thought i would get 10 people that actually want to read my blog, let alone 100 of you lovely people! 
I know for most of you out there, you have probably already passed this, and many more milestones in blogging. You may not think it is a big achievement compared to your own, but I can't tell you how shocked I am, considering I have been blogging properly for only three months now.
I am so negative about everything, that I finally do feel like I can try to be more positive about my blog posts, now I know that people actually want to read what i have to say. So for that, I say thank you!
I guess I should get my act together and start buying a few more products to review for you all!

Boots Haul | Beauty reviews

Today I'm going to give a few reviews on my recent purchases from Boots. I wanted some more VO5 hair mousse, and couldn't resist the 3 for 2 offer they had on. 

After using a friends Avon make-up remover lotion, i absolutely loved it. I had never heard of a make-up remover lotion before, so i knew i just had to try it properly.  I didn't want to have to wait for Avons lotion to arrive, so instead took my chances with the 3 for 2 at Boots. For me, it isn't as i expected. I didn't find it oily, as other people have suggested. Though i did find that, when i got it in my eyes (which was a lot), it absolutely stung. The whole process was extremely messy too. Though i am used to using make-up wipes instead, so it's probably usual for liquid make-up removers. Maybe it's because it was my first time using it, and there is probably a much better technique to it, so i will carry on using it anyway. It does somehow magically break down all of my make-up though, so it does do a good job, and conditions my eyes really well afterwards. For £1.50, you can't really complain though, since it is a good make-up remover (when it isn't in your eyes).

I also picked up Rimmel London's Scandaleyes liquid eyeliner. If you have read my previous post (here) you will know i love the Scandaleyes khol eyeliner, so felt the need to try the liquid version- plus it was only £5.99. I've used it for around a week now, and i'm still trying to make up my mind about it. This is the first liquid eyeliner i have tried, so i've not really god a basis to go on, or to judge it by. 
The tip is thin enough to create tiny lines, which is great for smokey eyes, or simple everyday looks. However, i found that after only a few hours, the colour starts to fade, and it turns a more grey colour. I'm keen to find out how long it lasts for, and whether it will easily dry up too, since you obviously don't have that problem with pencil eyeliners. It's a lot easier to take off too, compared to the Scandaleyes khol eyeliner, so that is a plus. 




I will also be giving a review of VO5 Pump it Up mousse soon, as it's the best mousse i have ever tried!

Cute Cow Bath Set

 How cute is this?!
I wanted to share with you today this cute little bath set. I got it as a christmas present and i've not wanted to use it because of how cute it is as a set! The tin box itself will come in great handy with storing all my recent beauty purchases, and the shower gel smells so good! 
The set contains shower gel, soap, a sponge, a plastic massager and a cute little nail brush in the shape of a cow. I'd love to find out where it is from, because i would definitely stock up on them for friends birthdays! I always find myself collecting ridiculous amounts of bath and body products, but this is by far one of my cutest in my ever growing collection.
