Project Pan #3 haircare edition

Following the previous successful project pan posts here and here, I have another one to share with you. This time there's lots of hair care products to share, which doesn't surprise me at all!

Bastiste dry shampoo

I couldn't live without this stuff. I don't know what I did before it, honest. As I mentioned in the first project pan post, I have very thin hair and even if I touch it like 5 times in one day I can make it greasy. Which is a pain, especially because I like having my hair played with. I use it daily and I have already repurchased it. I just wish it was so blooming expensive, because the own-brands really don't match up.

Would I buy it again? For sure.

TRESemme Iron Style and Hold

this one is cheating because it's not quite finished yet, but it's pretty much there. I love this heat protection spray more than the GHD one featured on the last post, because it smells amazing. Similar to the GHD one, it isn't too much for my hair, it doesn't make it droop or feel icky, it's just great.

Would I buy it again? Yes. 

Argan Oil Conditioner

This conditioner, I have to admit, was from the 99p store. It had Argan oil in it so I wanted to try it (everyone is raving about it!) but yes, as you would expect, it wasn't that great from the 99p store. It smelt nice and it did make my hair tamer but I couldn't see much conditioning treatment to it.

Would I buy it again? No

Toni&Guy Nourish Conditioner for Damaged Hair

This was a great product, I also had the matching shampoo. When using them together I really noticed a difference in my hair, it was so much shinier, less frizzy and just generally treated better. I liked the smell but I reckon it could put some people off - it reminded me of Cardamon.

Would I buy it again? Yes if it was in a deal.. but I'd like to try different products. 

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor

I love Aussie - not all aussie, but definitely this. I love aussie mainly for it's scent. This makes your hair smell like bubblegum and that makes me very very happy. It does make a bit of a difference to my hair but not enough for the price tag. I think in future I'll just stick to buying the single sachet's when they're on offer. 

Would I buy again? Probably.. I'm a sucker for the smell. 

So yes, I think that is enough for this project pan post - I am flyyyyying through these products which makes me a happy bunny. I am moving out soon and definitely don't have enough room for odds and ends. Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? Did you agree or disagree?

Knobbly Knees.

I have been helping my boss clean out her closet and drawers of old things that she no longer wants or needs. I love getting organised and her room looks so much better for it! It also means I get first dibs on her clothes ;) It got me thinking though, and meant I ended up looking at my belongings and deciding if I needed everything I have. Especially seeing as I am moving home soon and I'm sure it won't all fit in my car.. So yes. I decided to get rid of some clothes, and on the pile was a pair of bootcut jeans that made me feel fat. I don't need this jeans, but I do need a new pair or shorts. Therefore, I went Edward-scissor-hands on them, and chopped away. I plan on making them a lot prettier - finishing up the stitching and perhaps even embroidering or generally customising them, but for now they are suitable :) 

 

I've tried doing something like this before and cutting too short too early, so I went in stages (as you would when cutting a fringe) to make sure I didn't over do it! They're fine, not particularly amazing at the moment but a work in progress.

I'm sorry I've been AWOL - I've been taking a bit of time to recooperate from missing Michael, the long interview trip and working long days. I need to crack on with my essay too so I have no idea when the next post will be, and for that I'm very sorry. Please bear with me.

The Interview Trip

The interview didn't go well at all in my opinion, I haven't heard back yet but you know when you just know? Yes, I could have a better outlook, but... in my heart I know. and I'm fine with that - I wouldn't be talking about it now if I was distraught, it's fine. I know what to work on to make it better and I know how to prepare for next time :) Onto the trip as a whole though..

I got up at 6.45, got the bus at 7.20, got the train at 8.11 and travelled backwards until 1.20pm. Then they asked to push my interview back to 3pm rather than 2, so dad and I sat around with a cuppa having a quick catch up.

 

there was a ramp at the station! kept at the station! I was impressed by this, and very pleased.

Carrying my dress on the hanger- the careers adviser told me to and I felt silly the entire way. 

 

the obligatory tea and note-reading (supplied by Theana, thank you!)

and then the rest of the day became a blur, so here were dinners drinks too - fun twisty straw. 

almost stole it for Michael but I don't think he would have liked that it was pre used haha

Such a busy couple of days, but I had a lovely time catching up with my parents and a nice sleep in a comfy bed, so there are no complaints my end!
