Colourpop X Hello Kitty Collection Haul

Review & Swatches

OH YES! When I heard this collection was coming out, I knew I'd have to make a purchase. I've always been a fan of Hello Kitty & I love Colourpop so this collab was super exciting to see.

With the red, white & blue theme, it works in well with everything happening in the US at the moment, very patriotic! I would like to of seen different coloured product packaging as appose to the usual white, but the lip products do have cute bows etched into the lids for something different. 

This collection is of course, limited edition, like everything these days.. And Colourpop always have new products & collections coming out so I'm not sure how long these will be around, get in quick to get your hands on some cute Hello Kitty prods! 

♥

I jumped on the Colourpop Cosmetics website the day of the release & I couldn't help myself, with all the excitement I bought nearly everything from the collection!

Supercute lipgloss - Sheer finish Warm Pink doused with Pink Glitter

Tiny Chum liquid lipstick - Satin finish Cool-tone Nude Pink

Overall, I LOVE this collection! Everything from the shade choices to the packaging is on point. The prices are honestly insane, so affordable for great products. I've said this before about Colourpop, I love everything I've tried from the brand so far, except the Matte shadows.. I just don't find they blend very easily in the crease & take a lot of work buffing. Good thing is, there aren't any mattes in this collection.. But I love the shimmers (used with fingers mostly) & the Glitter Sheers formula is new - its a very sheer, almost transparent base packed with glitters, perfect to add shimmer on top of other shades. I love the face products as well, Highlighters are best used lightly with your fingertips & blushes works well with a brush (I like a duo-fibre). Their liquid lipsticks are hit & miss I find, some are amazing, flawless & long-lasting, some are super drying & crumble off..

This collection would make great Christmas stocking stuffers for any Hello Kitty or Colourpop lover!

SugarBear Hair Vitamin Review - 1 Month Results!

Do these things REALLY work?!

Ok I know a lot of you have been waiting for this review!

SugarBear Hair Vitamins

Promises of stronger, healthier hair, encouraging hair growth

Do they really work? Pictures of Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian,Vanessa Hudgens & the like have been seen using these, & spark a lot of sceptical people making comments & doubting this product, myself included.. I decided to try them for myself before totally dismissing them.. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised with these bears. Check out my results below!

♥

These sweet blue gummie bears are Vegetarian, Cruelty Free, Gluten, Dairy & Gelatin Free

"Formulated with essential hair-friendly vitamins like Biotin, Folic Acid & Vitamin D, it nourishes your hair from the roots to improve strength, elasticity, length & shine!"

$30 USD for 1month supply/60 gummies (2per day) 

Recommended for 13yrs +

www.SugarBearHair.com

So I can definitely see why people would be doubtful of these blue bears, they look & taste like candy! They literally taste just like your normal gummie bear, but these guys have super powers! Naturally flavoured with berries & citrus fruits & full of effective ingredients such as:

Vitamin A, C, D, E, B-6, B-12

Folic Acid (Vitamin B-9)

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5)

Biotin

Coconut Oil

Just because it doesn't look like an average, boring supplement with no flavour or colour & housed in a capsule that you buy from your local health shop or pharmacy, people instantly don't trust it works.. I was willing to give these bears the benefit of the doubt, there's nothing wrong with making vitamins fun!

As a hairdresser by trade, I know what hair needs to be strong & healthy & this is one banger of a concoction! Vitamin B-6 is great to prevent hairloss, Panthothenic Acid helps to stimulate hair growth by supporting your hairs natural keratin (Keratin is the protein that makes our hair) & Biotin which is one of the most important vitamins you can take to promote hair growth & these babies have 5000mcg in each daily dose! That's about 6-7 times the amount we need so BOOM long hair! These ingredients don't only result in great hair, but also healthier skin & nails. What could be better?

So on May 30th I started my daily regime of the 2 bears a day, everyday for 30 days.

I made sure to take a before photo the day I started & an after photo. I straightened my hair on both days so I could see the real growth difference & when I put the two photos next to each other, Wow! I'm very happy with the result & growth of my hair. Hair typically grows about 3-4cms a month, I for one am very use to seeing 4-6weeks hair growth, that is the recommended time between hair regrowth colouring, my hair grew about an inch & half! Nearly twice the amount in a month! 

♥RESULTS♥

So here are my results after taking 2 bears a day for 30 days! 

Despite the obvious growth, what I actually noticed was stronger/faster growing nails, naturally glowy skin & stronger, shinier hair at the roots with less hair fall.

I've always had a problem with my hair falling because of all the heat styling & rough treatment over the years, but this is the strongest my hair has been since before I started colouring & messing with it. I'm super impressed & can only recommend you try them for yourself!

There are only 2 downsides to these vitamins & that is if you have coloured hair, you'll need to do the regrowth more often because it grows so fast, & the price.. I'm not stoked about the price, once I paid for shipping, these ended up a hefty $60 NZD, I think that's a lot of money for 60 gummie bear vitamins..But they do work! I guess it just depends on how badly you want to grow your hair, & how much you're willing to spend on doing it

I for one, am going to order more because I love what they did for my hair, skin & nails! I'll be sure to update you guys again when I've finished another month :)
