Hey guys!  Today I'm going to review a shampoo that I've been using for the past little while and let me tell you, this is something you do not want to miss out on!

Curly Wurly is a targeting shampoo for people who have curly hair, however I would recommend this shampoo to anybody who loves coconut and treating your hair with a lot of love!

Thank you Sash!

This shampoo only comes in one size of 220g, for anybody who is familiar with Lush products is the larger container, for an outstanding price of $26.95CAD before taxes.  The Lush shop that I was in had one on display and I could smell the coconut from a mile away.  I had to have it even at that price.  Being skeptical on whether I've wasted my money or not, I would soon find out.

The directions are right on the container but the amount of what you use be adjusted to your length and thickness of hair.  I wasn't sure what a 'small amount' meant to Lush.  I then started experimenting with it and now what I do is use 2 fingers as a scoop and gather I would say about a tablespoon of the product and lather into my head completely.  I found that you don't get a really big lather but that doesn't affect the performance.
Pro tip: to expand the life of your product, wash your hair every second or third day or use it once a week while using regular shampoo the other days.

The smell of your hair when you get out is so great that I don't want to mix it with any of the oils I put in after, and sometimes I actually don't.  Once my hair is dried, the coconut smell is still there!  Amazing!
I'll pair Curly Wurly with any conditioner I'm using at the time, currently I'm using Whole Blends conditioner in coconut water and vanilla milk and I'll use a generous amount with it.
One thing I didn't notice from this shampoo though is that I don't see much difference in my curls.  I'm not sure if this is the shampoo or that my hair is so long and it's weighing down and spreading out my curls.  This doesn't affect my overall rating as that's not the reason why I bought it.

One thing I was actually quite skeptical about before actually buying the shampoo was how am I going to get the coconut out?!  I had just one idea and if that didn't work, well I was stuck with coconut chunks in my hair until they fell out naturally(which could take forever).  My brilliant idea was to use my detangling hair brush directly out of the shower to get the coconut out.  Could you believe it actually worked!  I allow my hair to air dry and I've only once or twice noticed a few stray coconut chunks.

Pros:

• Moisturizing
• Great smell
• Shine
• Coconut
• Doesn't require a whole lot of product
• Versatile for different hair types
• Makes your hair clean and fresh
  

Cons:

• Coconut chunks could be hard to get out
• Pricey

I've had Curly Wurly for about a month now and have gotten approximately a third of the way through it.  This means that I should be able to make a container last around 3 months.  With a ratio on the price and how long I'll have it until it runs out and the quality I would say that it is definitely worth the extra money.  I think I've found my shampoo for life!

I was happy to see that August's Beauteque bag came with a couple products from a single brand. Because I haven't used any of these brands I figured I'd write about them as I use them!

Starting with Han Aka.

 

This face mask is called Black Rose Acne Fighting mask.

Those eyes just make the whole packaging.  Honestly, I didn't want to use it because of that reason.

Before doing any type of research whatsoever I decided to just jump right into it.

 

This is something fairly new to me and that it's also in a gel form as well.  If you're looking for a lovely smelling mask, this is not the one for you!  It was super strong and almost smelled like minty tar-if that even makes sense.
When you're doing this mask be sure to have all of your hair securely fastened on your head for no stray-aways as it is super messy!   It got in my hair during application and was next to impossible to get out dry without pulling my hair out.
I left it in for about half an hour then started peeling. OUCH!  I swear I just put tar on my face, holy we have some serious sticking powers here.  After it was all said and done, I had pulled out more facial hair than anything.  With that being said, I did notice that it made my skin fairly soft, my pores really clean and my skin a little lighter. This is really not what I'm looking for in a mask considering I'm trying to get a tan! eek!
On a better note: Even though this is a peel-off mask, I strongly do not recommend peeling it off but using warm water on a face cloth and rubbing in a circular motion.  This will remove the face mask fast and effectively without pulling facial hair out.

 While I was peeling, I noticed that the mask had made holes.  I found this to be quite odd and didn't understand it at all. 

I had to use a cooling mask shortly after because peeling it off had made my skin really hot.

I've never tried a mask quite like this before so it is something new.

Since the mask attaches on the ears, I was worried that it might slip off.  It turns out that this is certainly not the case and goes on very well.  It's stretchable too so it will fit any face shape and stay on.  Leaving it on for about 20 minutes then rinsing off, of course.
Other than being a different kind of face mask, I didn't notice much more difference from regular masks.  It did however, make my skin more elastic and toned up which is a great thing!  This was a great mask to try out but I can't see myself going out of my way repurchasing it.

Purederm

In the Beauteque box I had received a hair mask, oo my favorite!  Needless to say I was pretty excited in trying it out.  This mask in particular is for damaged, frizzy, or curly hair which suits perfect for my frizzy and curly hair.
This has a strong fresh smell of mint and chamomile, it was actually quite lovely.

Oops, I got off the how to use on the bottom.  It's pretty straight forward anyway.  The main part I wanted to catch was the description which I did.  The entire back has the same write-up but in different languages!  How do you even repair curly hair?  I don't think curly hair needs repairing, but okay.  You will help maintain a healthy appearance? That sounds much better, I'll take it!

So we got the texture of a cream.  The whole 20ml was a pretty good amount for my length of hair, it all blended in fairly well and is soaking into my hair nicely as well.  It will probably be fully absorbed come morning!
The results from the hair mask had made my hair really moisturized, shiny looking and soft.  Nothing stands out with this mask but at the same time nothing turned me away from it either.  I would definitely use this again if it came in another box!

First thing I would like to say about this mask is since it says it's a peeling gel mask and the picture looks as though it hardens onto your face and you peel it off.  Because of this, it was quite the shock when the texture wasn't what I expect from a peel off mask whereas it was more liquidy.  I used a thin layer and left it on my face for 15-20 minutes.  You can either leave the mask on or gently rub it off in a circular motion within 3-5 minutes with similar results if you're on a time restriction.  A great thing about this mask is it smells like a juice, I could literally just drink this forever if it was. With this mask, it is re-sealable and re-usable.  With that being said, you can get approximately 4-5 uses out of this mask!
