Project Pan!
Hey Beauties!
Today I am going to tell you about my latest project, Project Pan Bath and Body Works Edition. So I have picked 3 products to start with since I do have full sizes ;)
So the first product I want to use up is my Country Chic body mist. I love this scent, it's my favourite as of right now but I don't need full size body mists, I'm going to opt for travel sizes from now on, ha ha.
All right, the second product I want to use up is my Midnight Pomegranate shower gel. This scent is okay, it's not my 'go-to' forte scent though ;)
The final product is my Warm Vanilla Sugar creamy body wash. I love this with all my heart, it smells so good! <3
Project Pan is when you pick some products you want to use up. You cannot buy this product until it is all gone. That is basically a run through.

Review: Clairol Natural Instincts Hair Dye
Hey Beauties! :)
So last night I dyed my hair with Clairol Natural Instincts in 11G, Lightest Golden Brown. My hair is a shade darker and it is a beautiful colour. It feels so healthy, and this hair dye doesn't damage your hair as bad! :)
All right, above is my before picture. Light Brown/Dark Blonde Hair. Yes, I have grey-blue eyes.
The second picture, with my hair dyed. It doesn't really appeal as darker in pictures as it does in real life. Yum, I have just woken up! Wake-y, Wake-y! :)
Review:
Packaging: 9/10
It caught my attention with 'Natural'. And then with the model's picture. It comes neatly packed with all you need; 2 pairs of gloves, conditioner, the dyes and the two week revitaliser!
Smell: 9.5/10
Honestly, this is the best smelling hair dye I've tried yet. It smelt kind of like fruit to me *embarrassed face* and the conditioner is so yummy! <3 I had dyed my Mom's hair two days before and her dye (Nice and Easy Foam) smelt so horrible, I swear if I got any closer it would burn my nose :P
Colour: 8/10
I like it, but I just wish it was a tad bit darker, I want something more noticeable.
Overall: 26.5/30
My hair doesn't feel dry and damaged, it feels soft and silky! <3 I do believe that my hair got a very subtle amount of damage, hardly any from this hair dye. I will continue to use this brand as it comes with many shades :)

Mini Thrift + Drugstore Haul!
Hey Beauties!
Today I went to a local thrift store and Zeller's, which I guess you could count as a drug store ;) For those who don't know, a thrift store is a store with second-hand clothing for cheap and Zeller's is Target's sister. But the thing that really excites me is that all Zeller's stores are being taken over by Target!! :) I'll start with the thrift store. I got 2 things, I guess it just wasn't my day :(
This is one of my favourite shirts! :) It's originally from Blue Notes and it's so cute and feminine! :D It was only $7.99 when it's originally, like $20.
This is my baby <3 It's a hot pink button down shirt from Hollister. It was only $4.99 and it is my favourite shirt. It's so cute and simple and chic! :') Tears of joy, Ha ha.
This is my hair dye. I'm going to be dying my hair tonight. It is the Clairol Natural Instincts in 11G Lightest Golden Brown. My Mom helped pick this out :) I will do a review on it tonight with before and after pics :)

Skin Care Routine for Oily/Acne-Prone Skin!
Hey beauties :)
It's Lyss here again, sorry I've been missing in action lately :P I've decided that this is not only a hair blog but a BEAUTY blog :) Thus, I should change the title.
So, here is my current skin care routine. I like to change it up every time I finish my products. I don't use a moisturiser every day and it's not really apart of my routine, but when I do use it I use the Nivea Soft Cream moisturiser, so there you go.
Cleanser:
I use my HG (Holy Grail) product, Aveeno Clear Complexion cleanser and I really have liked it since November :) I've been using it for four months now and I really like it, but I think my skin is getting used to it because if I don't splash water on my face before I use this, it really irritates my skin and makes my face go red :( So I'm guessing after I finish it's time for a new cleanser.. :( :(
Exfoliator:
Clean & Clear Purifying Facial Wash is my exfoliant. I try to use it every week, but I use it normally every 2-3 weeks =x I know, horrible right?
Toner/Makeup Remover:
All right, so this product acts as a 21-in-1 basically it's a toner, cleanser, remover, etc. It's Witch Hazel and I just use it to remove my eye makeup, it has a HORRIBLE stench to it..so, use at your own risk ;) But it's good for bruises and cuts and such. It smells bad, but I promise it works great :)
So, that's my skin care routine, these products are pretty cheap seemingly that they are drug store products.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with this company. All reviews are 100% honest and I'm not getting paid to mention these. I bought these products with my own money for the exception of Witch Hazel and the Nivea Soft Creme, which my Mom bought.
