Product Of The Week #2 - SAMY - FAT HAIR

Samy - FAT hair "0" calories

Do you suffer with fine fly away hair? This product may be the one for you!

Samy - FAT hair is a thickening creme that will help give your hair great volume, thickness and fullness. Let me just state - it does what it says.  I've been using this product for many, many months now. Although I don't use it every time I dry my hair, but at least once a week and definitely on the day of a night out. Samy - FAT hair makes styling your hair so much easier and gives you that extra omft.
I always receive comments on how large my hair is, which I hope is a good thing! - 'That's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets' - Mean Girls. That would definitely relate to me ladies haha. This is one of my key ingredients though and of course my back combing brush. The bigger the better in my eyes. 
The scent of this product reminds me of my favourite sweeties (fruit salad-chewits). It smells so good that I could lick it! Please DO NOT do that though ha ha.

How I apply:

• I wash my hair like I usually would (2x shampoo, 1x conditioner)
• I then towel dry my hair. Don't be too rough though ladies! I just usually squeeze the towel into my hair.
• Take a pea sized about of the product and work though the hair from root to ends. 
• Blow dry that hair! This will use the product to it's full potential. I find by blow drying I get volume, thickness and fullness. If you're not one to blow dry you can just leave it to dry naturally and you will still notice a thickness to your hair.

One of the great things that I found about this product, other than it making my hair huge! Is that the product didn't leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy. You know that feeling when you can feel the product in your hair? I suppose it's applying the right amount though and everyone's hair is different. Now if you were to ask me if 'I would I buy this product again?' YES! and guess what? I already have. In fact most of my family are using this stuff now.

Purchased from my local Superdrug drug store for just £5.99 and is currently on offer at £2.97 - bargain! 

What's your favourite product for adding thickness and volume?

Revlon - Nude Attitude

I must be on a hunt for my all time favourite lipstick or something, as all I seem to be buying at the minute is lipsticks! So I picked up this Revlon lipstick in Superdrug, this one is in Nude Attitude 001. I'm usually the biggest fan of nude lipsticks and glosses, but this one completely washes me out if worn alone.  

It's more on the peachy nude side rather than pink, to me it has a blue undertone, which you can just about see in the pictures above and when worn it shines through the lipstick. It is rumoured to be a good dupe of the MAC lipstick in Myth, which I've also heard washes a lot of people out too. Then again I wouldn't know as I've never tried Myth before. Have you?

Nude Attitude is a matte finish. The lipstick didn't pull as such, but it did sink into any cracks or dry patches on my lips that I didn't even know I had. The only way to get wear out of this lipstick is to apply a layer of gloss/balm over the top. Now we're talking! I really like the look of this lipstick with gloss on top. The only problem is that the lipstick goes blotchy and you loose the pigmentation of the lipstick really fast. The pigmentation isn't that great to start with, you do have to layer it up but that could have something to do with it being so nude. I was also disappointed in the staying power, I had to keep topping up every hour or so. Would I purchase again? Probably not no. 

Has anyone else tried this lipstick?

I usually love the ones from Revlon but this one just didn't impress me at all.

Lips In Rio Rio

I've been loving Topshop and their beauty range so much recently. I picked up this lipstick in Rio Rio, which is a bright red shade with orange undertones. I should of probably swatched this next to a really red lipstick so you could see the orange undertones in it. As you can see from the swatch above Rio Rio is extremely pigmented. I've always been a little scared to wear orange on my lips, but I always think it looks so nice when I see it on other people. This is probably the safest option though! I can imagine this lipstick to suit most skin tones as the orange in the lipstick really brightens up the whole face. 

Rio Rio is a satin matte finish, I found this lipstick more moisturising than most matte lipsticks. So it glided onto the lips just lovely with no pulling. I haven't had any dryness or flakey lips like I usually get with a matte finish. the staying power lasted a few hours and after transfer it did leave a nice stain to my lips. The swatch that was done for this post must of been on my arm for about 8-10 minutes and it stained right away. This lipstick was only £8.00 and it was well worth purchasing. I'd say they are quite comparable to your higher end lipsticks like I mentioned in my previous post about Lips In Peach Sundae. There's a lot of people that say they are on par with MAC lipsticks, but there's obviously not as much colour choice. 

Have you tried any of the Topshop lipsticks?

Which one do you like if so?
