Sally Hansen 'Nailgrowth Miracle Serum' Review


Sally Hansen- Nailgrowth Miracle Serum Packaging
I've been using this product for the last two weeks now. I've actually noticed a massive difference. I decided that I'd properly start to stop biting my nails. I saw how popular this product was and thought it would really help to start off my nail growth. It comes with a puppet making it easy to apply the serum to the nails. I rubbed a drop of the serum into each one of my nails once a day and I have seen a massive improvement. 

It also comes with a puppet-Making it easier to apply the serum

Sally Hansen-Nailgrowth Miracle Serum













I don't have a 'before' picture of my nails :( but they were very short and very brittle. This serum has restored them completely. My nails used to grow to a certain point then break off but they are now so much stronger and feel a lot more smoother. It has also changed the appearance of my nails they now look so much healthier, they have that pinkish-red glow and the ends of my nails are quite white. So the serum really works wonders for nails. It has made them longer, stronger and healthier.


Left- My nail Progress
Right- The serum
Apologies that you can't really see my nails in the picture but they have grown a fair amount. As I continue to use the serum I will add updated pictures of my progress.The serum is quite thick but the nails very quickly absorb it. It doesn't smell great but the smell fades quickly after applying. As the serum is thick and gloopy it's very hard to get out of the bottle. The puppet doesn't pick up much product after a while. I have been using this everyday for two weeks and I think the product would have run out in another week. There isn't much product originally really but it's just gets harder and harder to get out of the bottle with each use.

Maybelline 'Baby Lips' Review


I have only recently just purchased Baby Lips but I have fallen in love with them. They are so moisturising. They are so glossy and define the lips amazingly. I love, love, love the packaging, it's just so 'playful' looking and stands out so much. I love how easy the lip balm is to apply throughout the day. It creates a very natural, light make up look making the lips  look radiant and glossy.

Baby Lips- Intense Care
The 'Intense Care' is just a clear lip balm. It does have some shimmer in it though. It is very moisturising and leaves the lips feeling and looking very hydrated. It's creates a really natural look but defines the lips and leaves them look very glossy and healthy. This is also a good lip balm to apply under/over lipstick. 
Baby Lips- Pink Punch
The 'Pink Punch' is a very subtle pink lip balm. It has so shimmer which adds gloss to the lips. I love how subtle the colour of this is. It's very natural and perfect for summer. It keeps the face looking very healthy and radiant without heavy make up. This is also very moisturizing and the colour lasts for a fairly long time. This also looks lovely applied over a light pink lipstick. It not only adds gloss and shimmer but adds moisture too.
Baby Lips- Mint Fresh
The 'Mint Fresh' lip balm smells and tastes of mint (surprise, surprise) making it very refreshing. The smell reminds me of the Burts Bees beeswax lip balm. This is also a very moisturising lip balm. It has no colour tint to it, but does shimmer slightly. I like the fact that the lip balms have an SPF 20 protection. My lips stay hydrated whilst being in the sun.
Baby Lips- Peach Kiss
I really like the tint to this lip balm. It's a very natural nude colour. You can't really see it in the picture but its very shimmery but looks so natural on the lips. It enhances your lips a lot. Very moisturising just like the others. It smells like starburst which creates a really sweet, refreshing, summery smell.

Baby Lips- Cherry Me
This is probably my favourite lip balm from the Baby Lips range. I love the colour so much! It's very pigmented but also looks so natural on the lip. It smells amazing! Just like cherries! I love the fact that you can build up the colour, so you can choose whether you want a slightly more subtle or bolder lip. Looks glossy and 'wakes up' lips.
Baby Lips- Hydrate
This lip balm is very similar to the 'Intense Care' lip balm as it has no pigment. Although compared to the 'Intense Care' it is a lot whiter in colour and also is a lot more brightening. The smell of this lip balm is very refreshing and zingy. This isn't as shimmery as the others but has so much gloss! It brightens up your lips instantly and I feel this is true to the name and does have slightly more moisture than the other 'Baby Lips' lip balms.

Lee Stafford 'Bling' Products Review

Bling Hair Rehab Intense Conditioner

I use this as a deep conditioner, applying to my hair once a week. It's very moisturising and leaves my hair glossy. It also left my hair very soft. This is probably my favourite product out of the few I've tried from this range. I absolutely love deep conditioners and have tried many and although I don't think its the best one available out there, I think its still very good for a drugstore product. The spa-like smell is very strong in the conditioner and I personally don't like that as much. I find using this as an everyday conditioner would be very heavy for hair. But I definitely recommend applying this product to dry and brittle hair.  


 Bling Wake Up Call
24-Seven Hair Refresher Spray
This is the perfect summer essential! I've recently started using this product a lot more, especially as the weather has been so hot and humid. You basically just spray this onto dry hair and it refreshes it. It's very similar to a dry shampoo just in liquid formula. I prefer this product to a dry shampoo though as it's not as heavy and has a nicer smell. It smells very spa-like. The thing I don't like this product is that if you apply to much of this spray it makes your hair look wet. Also all the product eventually builds up and leaves your hair feeling and looking greasy. I would only recommend using this product once between washes.
 
 

 Bling 4 Brunettes Glossing, Glimmer Serum

I haven't used this product a lot as I feel it's more of a night product than a day product. I love serums as they add a lot of moisture to hair. This serum smells so luxurious. I prefer this product when applied to wet hair before blow drying as it makes the shimmer more subtle. You can apply to dry hair but I personally think it looks very tacky.
