F.A.S.T Hair growth measure in month 1

Nisim International sent me some F.A.S.T which stands for: Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy to try and review. I had been really into hair care and hair growth for awhile. As some of you may have heard in my videos, my hair grows super slow. I have tried hair vitamins which work really well. I am eager to try this shampoo which helps to speed up the hair growth process!! 



I measured my hair from my crown down to 21.5 inches. (sorry no pic)


I tried this product for three days already but I got a hair cut today So I decided to 'start over' and measure in for you guys! The only thing I noticed so far was the smell of the shampoo. I can't really describe how it smells, but I can only say it's not the smell I would go for first. I prefer a much sweeter smell when it comes to hair products just because usually it lingers on the follicles. The smell reminded me somewhat of a product found in an elder woman's bath items. It wasn't horrible though, and surprising the smell doesn't linger as much as normal shampoos do. I did notice; however, that when I use the conditioner on the ends and let it sit, my back turns a bit pink where the conditioner was. I do have super sensitive skin so that may be a reason why. 

Anyway, below are pictures of what the box and products look like! Feel free to enlarge and read!

Let me know if any of you guys have tried this before!

Hello Kitty @ Sephora!!

So I went to Sephora today and guess what I saw?!?! Hello Kitty line launching in Sephora! I am a HUGEE fan of Hello Kitty and was drooling over such cute packaging!

I snapped a few quick (crappy) pictures from my iPhone

I was chatting with the girl at the cash wrap when I was checking out and I asked her about the line and she said this just arrived a couple of days ago and that tomorrow Sephora would be getting alot more products and moving the line into a permanent area instead. This is a new line that is going to be similar to the Tokidoki collection!

A quick view of some lip glosses


The purfume on the very right was so cute! I tested the scent and had a coconut smell. The tall pink bottles are body mist. I thought they would be some kind of toner!

SUPER CUTE nail polish packaging!


Enjoy!

Blog Sale Haul

I've been wanting to try a whole variety of palettes and lippies! What better way than to check out blog sales!? I just searched blog sales in my search bar and visited many blogs where I did find some items I wanted to buy, but was kind of skeptical because the items were either not what I really urned to try or items that weren't worth ordering where the shipping price was more than the items.

I came across FleurDeBomb's blog sale and was completely blown away! She had items that were reasonably priced for the brand/condition of the products. Some brands that lured me were Shu Uemura, YSL, Chanel, MAC, Paul&Joe, Jill Stuart, and a ton more.

Link to her Blog sale: http://fleurdebomb.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-blog-sale.html

I have made 2 purchases from her. One from her November blog sale (I think!) and one from her current blog sale. She includes all directions and conditions throughly and even includes a link to a video that demonstrates how to sanitize used cosmetics.

I know buying used cosmetics sounds iffy and these were the only blog sales I've ever purchased from. I found a ton of items that were priced in my budget range that I have always wanted to try and almost gave into and ordering from a website. And on another note, how do you know who you are ordering from is legit? When you have your mind set or blog sale shopping,  visit different blog sales, and observe the site and the people who visit it. Usually you can get a relatively good impression of the blogger. Of course you want to make sure that he/she has a reputation or good transactional history.

Enough said! Let's get hauuulin!

These 4 items were purchased from her older blog sale.
Shu Uemura Lipstick- #PK 312   USD$5


Jill Stuart eyeshadow palette- #03 Brocade Gold   USD$15

Impulsive Shopping!


HI guys!! I'm excited because this is my first 'blog' post! I want to start blogging because I feel like it's alot easier to go in dept on a blog! YT has time limits for my videos so I don't get to go in dept about things sometimes:[
So I went a little crazy as always.. and totally splurged on things I wanted to try. I feel like I
just want to find the "perfect" lip color or the "perfect" mascara etc etc. It's so hard! haha anyways these are the items I picked up at my local Ulta and Macy's
Pictures are taken with flash
These were the items I picked up! Items are from Too Faced, Benefit, NYX, Shiseido, and Ulta Brand The second to last items from the left is the Too Faced Lashgasm and the Benefit Badgal lash

 From Left to right: smoke screen, coral chic, peach parfait, base coat 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ulta brand nail polishes! I 'accidently' bought some when they had their BOGO deal and fell in love! They are my all time fav cheapo nail polishes. The consistency is amazing! (I decided to give some away for a giveaway soon!)


NYX lip pencils and liners are on the far right! (Giving some of these away too!)

     Shiseido lippies left to right: BE333, PK307
I decided to get some shiseido lipsticks after reading many people favoriting the Perfect Rouge line. I got BE333 because I watched on YT that Fuzkittie really likes it and decided to try it! 


    Benefit Lipstick in Shy
I decided to pick this Benefit lipstick up only to realize that it's quite similar to the Shiseido PK307 So I might take one back after deciding which one I like better!


So this concludes my random splurge! Thanks for reading everyone! Do stay tuned to my YT channel at www.youtube.com/oMissMLEo for detailes on my giveaway to come!

About ME!

Hi there! For those of you who stumbled here I have a youtube channel where I vlog on product reviews, hauls, and how to's. My youtube channel is www.youtube.com/oMissMLEo

So I have always been a very simple person. My ideal way of communication with my 'followers' would be a website that can sort of smuush all the social websites together haha! Maybe a general area for posting pictures or updates and somehow it updates your facebook and blog at the same time!

I decided that starting a blog would be easier to locate and navigate posts whether ya'll are following me or wanting to view certain posts.

My very first entry will be a way to get to know me better :]

I am currently a student at the University of North Texas studying interior design. I love what I am doing and I'm considering going to graduate school for architecture. Not quite sure where yet.

I have 2 absolutely cute dogs named ZaZa and Tiny. I would say they have a love, hate relationship..




Tiny is a not so tiny Chihuahua that is very hyper and is the mean one of the two. (ironic?)


ZaZa is a Jack Russel X Lab Retriever (weird?) who loves to sun bathe is shy and silly and the big baby at home :]


I have an amazing goofy boyfriend that has supported me and been with me for almost 3 years:]



Thanks for reading!!
