Hair Mask: H'SUAN WEN HUA Review

My lovelies,

Hope you all are having an amazing week. For all my fellow Canadians, hope that you all enjoyed Canada Day and had a blast. To my American followers, hoping you all have a fun and safe July 4th weekend!!

Now lets get into it,





So today I'm going to be talking about this new product that I am pretty excited about. 

Now my hair is extremely dry, like reallllllly dry. 

But I think I have found a new product thats been helping me out a ton.

The H'Suan Wen Hua Hair Mask from Lush (don't ask me how the hell you pronounce that, sheesh) 

Now this mask claims "A nutritious mask to improve the strength, shine, and condition of your hair and scalp", continually it states its a "intense moisturizing treatment with fresh eggs, herbs, and oils for out-of-condition hair". Which ya'll know I got.


Anyways the first thing I noticed about this mask is the smell. It is defiantly a warm smelling product that is relaxing for myself. It reminds me of gingerbread on Christmas. For some odd reason. 

The consistency is thick and creamy and it glides onto your hair without making a massive mess, which was a plus for me. 


Now, the feeling of this product on my scalp was amazing. When I first applied it, it didn't feel like much, however when it began to soak into my scalp it it had a nice cooling sensation. I left it on for a total of 25 minutes, just to make sure it was able to really soak into the hair follicles.

After rinsing it out in the shower, I went along with my normal hair care routine, minus the deep conditioning at the end. 

When I styled my hair after I instantly noticed how soft, smooth and silky my hair was to the touch. I could not stop playing with it! My scalp felt hydrated and nourished and was not left itchy or dry.

This product helped my hair retain its moisture between washes. 

In all, I was extremely pleased with this product. It was a tiny bit pricy (at $21 for 225g) , and I did have to use quite a bit because my hair is so long. However, it is completely worth it. The people at Lush continue to impress ;)


Whats your favourite hair mask treatment!

Ginger Locks

Hello all my lovelies! Sorry for the lack of posting, life just seems to be a tad crazy at the moment. So I've been a busy bee working everything out and starting new chapters in my life :)

Today I wanted to do a post on all the hair products that I absolutely adore. I get asked alot about my hair and what I use in it. But, by far the question that I get asked the most is, "Is that your natural hair color?"

Yes, yes it is kidlets. #gingerforlife

My hair, I would classify, as a darker strawberry blonde. It used to be a lot more vibrat when I was younger and as I aged the pigment has lightened up. I have blonde, brown, auburn and red strands in my hair, which is probably why I get asked if it is natural. In the summer it lightens alot, and the blonde will stick out. Not to mention that I have actual thick sections of my hair that are straight blonde.

In texture, my hair is thick and mildly frizzy with a natural beachy wave. I do straighten it about 98% of the time just because it is more manageable this way.

As per products, I've tried many on the market but these would have to be what really keep my hair soft and manageable.

SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER

Now I am always changing my shampoo and conditioner just because my hair tends to get used to these kind of products quickly. At the moment I'm using the Redken All Soft Shampoo/Conditioner. This stuff makes my hair unbelievably soft, even though I'm getting to the end of these bottles it doesn't seem that my hair is getting used to the formula.


DEEP CONDITIONING

For deep conditioners I rotate between Macadamia Deep Repair Mask, and the Aveda Dry Remedy. Both of these are phemonal and do the job. I do prefer the Macadamia one a tad bit better, because not only is it more affordable, but I feel that it makes my hair stay soft and moisturized for the few days between washes. I enjoy that both these products are extremely thick in consistency and you can feel the difference in the texture of your hair right as you wash them out.

REVIEW: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette

Hello lovelies!

So I cannot contain my excitement that I finally have been able to get my hands on this palette! I have legit been waiting since it came out, checking the website frequently, just to see its always sold out. So a few days ago while casually looking at instagram, I saw someone post how it was at sephora. Now my heart pretty much dropped and I raced on over to my sephora, and yup! It was there!

So I decided it would be helpful to do a bit of a review and explanation of this palette for any of you looking to get it. 



I was critical that maybe this was just another fan fad, meaning that everyone is getting it, just because EVERYONE is getting it. 

I was defiantly mistaken though, the consistency and pigmentation of these colors are fantastic.

VIDEO: Bronzed Goddess Look

Now, by all means I am in no way a goddess. However I couldn't think of a different title, since goddess is just what came to mind with this look.

I took a lot of time editing, while trying out some new techniques. Im still in the process of learning iMovie, but its coming along!

I'm pretty stoked on this video, and hope you guys enjoy it!

Don't forget to like it, share it, and maybe even subscribe if you enjoy it!

It really helps me out :)

Stay tuned for more videos! And if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them in the comments on here, or on the video!

Love, Love

Tight And Bright

Hello my lovelies!

Whenever summer is around the corner, I get really excited to start using all my bright lip colors. I did a post similar to this not to long ago HERE, focusing on my favourite nudes. Now I want to transition to bright lippies!

I love a bright lip, its so easy and it makes you look put together, even if you're not ;)

A simple eye, dewy skin and a bright lip is my absolute fave!

So here I'm going to show you some of my favourite bright lip colors!
