Disappointing product/s #1- Pantene 2min Deep Shine Masque

Hello! I'm back with another post on a hair product that I picked a while back.
I don't think I have mentioned this but my hair is quite wavy, thin and can sometimes (all the time) get very frizzy. So I wanted something like a hair masque that I could use once or twice a week that would tame the frizz and just add a bit of shine.

I purchased it at boots for £4.69
When I first saw it, I thought this would be perfect because I have thin hair, that is quite dull and could do with a bit of shine. It says "Our lightweight shine reviving treatment evens/smoothens your hair's surface so it can reflect light again, leaving it shiny and full of life." And of course I'm one of those people that falls for it! And so I bought it, and to be honest it looked quite promising but as I started to use it I found that I wasn't much different to my normal conditioner. It did make my hair feel slightly more smooth and soft, but I feel like it just didn't live up to its name.
It has quite a gloppy texture and goes on to the hair easily. I will finish this pot but sadly I don't think I will be repurchasing it anytime soon. I don't usually find Pantene products a problem or have anything against them but I found this to be disappointing. For those of you want to see the product or other people's reviews on the Boots website, I will leave the link below.
Please comment below your favourite hair masque, because I would love to know! I hope you enjoyed this post or found it helpful (even though most of it was just me getting angry) hehe. Don't forget to follow! I will be back pretty soon with another post because I am off for a week, so don't forget to check that out!
Thanks for reading! Bye!!

Nail polish review/look #1

Hello! Sorry I've been gone so long, been a bit busy and just haven't found the time to put another post up. But anyway I'm back and here with a nail polish review/look.
My sister decided she wanted me to paint her nails because she was going on a night out. She said she wanted a pretty coral/orange, and so I picked this out as it matches the description perfectly.

It's by a brand called 17 which is sold in boots. It's in the colour "tropical island" which is perfect for a summery look. Sienna* bought this for my birthday but it came in a set with eyeliner and fake tan. It's long lasting, bright and has tiny particles of gold glitter. I used 2 coats because I wanted it to be bold and stand out.
I used the Sally Hansen Double duty strengthening base and top coat to complete the look.

This helps to strengthen, keeps the polish on for longer and gives a finishing shine to the nails.

I would highly recommend both of these nail polishes.
