Vatika Naturals | Oil Review

Hi bloggers. It's been over a year now since I've done a blog post, wow, life has been on a bit of a rollercoaster and I haven't had the time to do anything (that too I ran out of ideas on what to post) but anyways I'm back with another blog post. So as you guys know I bleached my hair quite a while back and since then I've been dying my hair constantly which has completely destroyed my hair. But I feel like my hair has gone so much better since I've been using the Vatika naturals range, they have so many different types of oils for different things - currently I have been using the Black Seed oil and it's literally bought my hair back to life!

I recently saw on another bloggers post that they had got out a whole load of new products which definitely brought an interest to my eye. I got the Argan oil and the Sweet Almond moisturising shampoo as I read good reviews on them and thought I need to try this out. They have a lot of oils that I still need to try out however I couldn't find most of them in store. I would defo recommend these oils as it has helped my hair and so many others. They are very affordable, they retail from £2-£4 which is very cheap for such a good brand.

In order for it to work properly you need to make sure that you are consistent with it otherwise you will not see good results. If you have very dry hair I'd recommend you to oil your hair very frequently 3-4 times a week however the more you apply the better! If you have very oily hair (like me) try to apply less of it about 2-3 times a week. Usually I'd apply it every 2 days because that's when my hair starts to get very greasy but I'd use small amount of oil and make sure that it's still getting applied on but with not much product. (If that makes sense).

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this post and hopefully I'll be getting more of these oils and will write a review about each of them within a months time to let you know how it's going. I will try my best to get my blog back together so if you guys have any ideas on what to do, or what you're interested in please do let me know.

Pantene Pro-V Micellar Review

Hey bloggers, today's post is a review on one of my favourite shampoo. So recently I found out that Pantene got out a new shampoo, I always used to buy Pantene before but I felt like it wasn't right for my hair so I then stopped using it until they came out with a new formula that has micellar in it and I'm in love with this shampoo, because I've got greasy hair this is defo the best shampoo for me. Girls I would definitely recommend this shampoo for hair that is prone to greasiness. My hair is very poor, even after having my hair washed within the next 24 hours my hair will become very greasy and I'd have to keep washing it every day when I needed to go out as it would become so greasy that I wouldn't even want to go out with my hair looking so oily.

I have tried hair masks in the past to stop the greasiness but it didn't really seem to work. I also put coconut oil on my hair every 2 days so that it can become smooth and silky, some say that it helps revitalises the hair and makes it less greasy. I use this for the strength that will build on my hair as my hair is very thin which is probably why it gets greasy so quickly. 

So I've been using this for about a month now and honestly guys this is the most amazing product ever like my hair used to just go for a day and then it would get really greasy but since I have been using the Pantene shampoo my hair the next day after a wash is so much better than how it used to be, it doesn't get that greasy and you can actually go out with that hair. I love it so much that I had to buy 2 of them as they were the only ones in the store if there were more I would've purcahsed a lot more lol. So I bought these from Superdrug as it's on 1/2 price so I got it for 1.99 however you can also find it at your local supermarket but they cost 3 pounds, so you're better off buying it from Superdrugs.

Bake With Me: Chocolate Cupcakes

Hey bloggers, so yesterday I uploaded another video on my YouTube and it's a 'BAKE WITH ME'. I just thought it'd be a really fun video to make and I filmed it to share with you guys as I know many people enjoy watching these type of videos. Also because I wanted to bake as well because I haven't done this in a while and trust me guys it got really messy lol. So make sure you guys check out that video, you can click the picture below and don't forget to leave a thumbs up and hit that subscribe button!

I am most defo not a professional when it comes to cooking/baking, I make a lot of mistakes or forget to do a thing that's why I get my mum to help me with the cooking for my videos. I haven't yet got a tripod for my phone hence why I always have to record as I like my videos in a certain way and only I can do that aha, but I have ordered one and it should be coming soon. I'll be filming another video and will be uploading that soon too, I'm thinking to do a vlog maybe? Or a Q&A, let me know what you guys think.

January Updates | 2018

Hey bloggers, Happy New Year! I haven't done an update post so I thought I should let you guys know what I'll be uploading next and so on. So 2017 went pretty quick for me, well at least I think it did. To be honest there was a lot of bad times and a lot of good times and I'm just hoping that this year will be better for me. If you guys have seen my YouTube I've been uploading a few stuff and I know I know that some of the content isn't that good but hopefully I'll be doing better videos, the only downside to me making videos is that I can't edit them on the mac as my laptop is full and it won't let me save anything else on it.

I also want to thank everyone that's been supporting me and subscribing to me for the past couple months I really do appreciate it, I know to other people it probably isn't much but to me it's a lot and I just wanted to let you know that it makes me happy. Make sure you keep subscribing to see more upcoming content - I will hopefully be uploading a 'Bake with me' video as I know you guys love watching these type of videos, also I probably will do a Q&A video so that way you guys know me a little bit better.

DECIEM: The Ordinary Foundation Review♡

DECIEM: The Abnormal Beauty Company

Hey girls. So I recently discovered Deciem foundations and I've always wanted to try their foundations as it was cheap and affordable to buy, I also didn't want to keep using my Fenty foundation as it's almost finishing and well makeup is expensive to buy. I bought the ordinary foundation and to be honest it's actually really good, especially if you're looking for a foundation not too expensive and want to wear everyday. It does have a medium light coverage but if you build that up on your face you will get the coverage you'll need and believe me this is coming from a person who suffers a lot with breakouts and spots so the foundation does do the job.

You can find Deciem in Shoreditch, near the old Spitalfields market & the other store is on Bethnal Green Road near Shoreditch High Street station.

This foundation retails to the price at 5.95 - The shade I got matched to is 3.0 Y (Y for yellow undertone). There are other types so for example if you have red undertone then they have that too. With my face it's a yellow undertone, my T-zone is dry and my face is oily. However, I did notice that the colour they matched with me looked a bit dark as my sister and aunt got matched the same colour and in other foundations such as Fenty we are totally different colour shades so that's one disadvantage about that as the foundation oxidises and makes you look darker.

Top 3 lip products - NYX Lip Lingerie♡

Hey girls. If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know that I finally decided to change my blog/YouTube name. I've mentioned this in my last Q&A that I hated the name ohsnapitzaffy as I created that name when I was young and well I thought since I update my blog from time to time I might as well change it to something I'm more comfortable with. As you can tell by my title I've decided to name it Afs blogs, I find that so much better to work with and hopefully you'll see more upcoming stuff so make sure you do subscribe to my YouTube which is Afs blogs however you can still search ohsnapitzaffy and it'll still come up as I can't seem to change my domain name but I will fix that soon.

So with that out of the way let's jump right in to today's post. I am in love with the NYX lip lingerie products so I just had to buy 2 more of these (which I showed in my last mini haul post). I'm telling you guys these are like the best lip lingerie's I have ever bought, they're so matte and the colours are amazing and it's only £7.00 which is affordable. 

The colours i'm in love with is Seduction, Exotic and Cabaret Show. These are defo my new fave and I would defo recommend them to you. The advantages of these matte lip glosses is that you don't need to worry about re-applying it every time. Would definitely be purchasing this again. 

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram: afsblogs and also subscribe to the YouTube channel, will be uploading a new video soon.

Mini Make-up Haul♡

Hey girls, so today I'm going to be doing a mini makeup haul, makeup is so expensive like I literally bought 4 items and this cost around 30 pounds which hurts me to spend but girls gotta buy it. So, first of all, I went to NYX because if you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat then you'll know that I lost one of my favourite lipsticks by NYX so I had to purchase this again. It's the lip lingerie in the shade 'Seduction', this matte lipgloss is honestly so amazing. The colour of it is a pink/nudey shade and it's also matte so you wouldn't need to worry about re-applying every now and then which is a positive side about all matte products. I also bought another shade, 'Exotic', I haven't tried this on my lips yet but when I swatched this in store it looked like a colour that I would wear so I had to buy it. I'll defo keep you posted about how I feel about the shade when I do wear it.

Obviously had to restock on my concealer, this has to be the best concealer I have tried however I do want to try another concealer (this is for like pigmentations by the way) if you have any recommendations please tell me. I also bought a green corrector as I have a lot of redness on my face so this will help cancel out redness.

That will be all for my mini haul, hopefully, I will upload another haul on my YouTube so make sure you subscribe and watch out for it.

Thanks for reading!
