GNS - Shampoo & Conditioner - Thoughts and Review*



GNS Professional Deep Moisturising
Shampoo and Conditioner
Thoughts and review


Hi my lovelies! Happy Sunday to you all;
 Today I'm bringing a review to you about a Hair care brand I was contacted about which always makes me excited because I'm forever looking for new products to help treat my hair on those off days! GNS is a brand that had been established in 2014 and the creator, Sandy Gordon, who's a keen wearer of hair-extensions, wanted to find hair products that could treat both extensions and natural hair. She created products which became a benefit for salons and clients alike due to the much needed gap in the market.

My hair type is quite a mixture due to having naturally thick hair, sometimes quite dry but also it's been coloured for many years so to re-boost the health and moisture is something I look for when trying any new product. I put this duo to the test and here are my overall findings!

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

GNS Ultra Moisturising Shampoo
Review

  • First of all, I love the style of the packaging, it is simple to open with a press function on the lid which props open the cap to then be poured.
  • The information is fully displayed on the bottle, including directions for use and ingredients.
  • I think that this is a great amount of product too because a little simply goes a long way, at 250ml I've been using this on a regular basis and it's barely gone down! 
  • I think the main thought I've had on this shampoo has to be the scent.. I am in love with it! It smells just like a vanilla cake and seems good enough to eat, although you shouldn't! 
  • All the ingredients are natural for example Macadamia oil and shea butter and I've noticed how refreshed my hair was during the first few washes; The scent also lasted much longer than I expected too which is a bonus.
  • The shampoo has kept my hair shinier and has helped seal any split hairs I've had feeling fully restored to it's best.
  • Personally for the price I do find it quite expensive compared to other brands I've tried, If it was more affordable I'm sure I'd purchase this regularly. 
Currently this item is available to purchase through their direct website at a reduced price at £10.49 -  Buy Here



GNS Deep Moisturising Conditioner
Review
  • Just like the shampoo, the packaging is sleek and informative containing all necessary information such as directions of use.
  • This is perfect to use alongside the Shampoo because it is packed with the helpful ingredients to tackle dry/coarse hair. I found the conditioner to make my hair feel glossy not at all greasy especially within the roots.
  • I used a small amount for my hair and left it on for a couple of minutes, I wouldn't recommend doing this all of the time, but just when you feel like your hair is in need of a treat it makes a wonderful hair mask!
  • The scent of this conditioner is just the same sugary sweet goodness as the shampoo! It really is an addictive fragrance and makes me excited to use it!
  • With using this with the shampoo too it's a perfect pairing, because I have coloured hair I can worry on the way certain products react with it but this seemed to lock in the colour well from root to tip.
The conditioner is available to buy through the GNS website which is also reduced in price so get it while it's on offer lovelies! Buy Here

I'd recommend this range to anyone who has dry or heat damaged hair, including those who have hair extensions I'd love to hear if you've used this product on them and how the results have been in the comments section below!

TokyoTreat - Japanese Subscription Box - Un-Boxing!*


TokyoTreat.com
June Subscription Un-boxing!


One of my biggest fascinations has to be all things Japanese; I adore the fashion, the beauty and even the food, and my dream is to one day travel to Tokyo to have the full experience and do a lot of shopping too!
My obsession with Japan started out from watching Kawaii related YouTube videos, to the point I'd see Popin cookin DIY candy making videos that drew me to the bizarre but creative candy that Japan has to offer. I remember ordering my first Japanese candy Online and the excitement on receiving it was beyond words.. Since then I am popping into my local Asian express supermarket to see what to try next from savory to drinks!

------------------------------------------------------

TokyoTreat.com is a fantastic idea and if you love subscription boxes then this is one to try out. This is the June box which I was kindly sent and as you can see it was full to the top with treats!
This is the premium box and can also be ordered in either the Small or the Regular. The box comes out every 2 months and can contain the most premium candy and snacks Japan has to offer but sent to the comfort of your own home.

Here is the selection of items that came in the June box!





























------------------------------------------------------

As you can see the selection was amazing with 15 rare Japanese candies including 
Super Mario World Choco Egg - it reveals Nintendo figurines (Mario, Luigi, etc) when you eat the chocolate.
Honey Butter Chips - probably the most coveted and expensive chips in the world at the moment (super rare, some sell at $50 / bag on Ebay!). Details: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_Butter_Craze
Baked Cheesecake Kitkat - the latest Nestle work with Kitkat, the only bakeable Kitkat and exclusively sold in Japan only.
I would personally say my favorite of all of the candies I've tried so far were the Honey Butter chips, they taste so sweet yet combined with a savory after taste and also the Apple flavoured Jelly that I had to store in the fridge was a surprising taste sensation too with both the flavor and the texture as it was packaged in a sippy pouch!
Thanks to the very kind Yuko Suzuki, Owner of TokyoTreat, she has supplied my fellow readers with a coupon code for 15% off your first box! Just use the code UniqueLoveStyle

Feel free to check out the online website for more information on the subscription service with any questions you may need to be answered available on there too!
