New Hair Care (Drugstore)

Hey Everyone

I have been trying to help my hair! I recently went to target and naturally I went and bought more then I intended but I am so happy I did.

I decided to go into the hair section and browse around for some remedies for my spilt ends. I know I should get my hair cut more often but I just always forget to make an appointment. So to help me with my problem I saw on a recent youtube video, I forget the vlogger but she suggested this product.

The product I am talking about is the TRESemme Spilt Remedy. The bottle says it reduces up to 80% of split ends after 3 uses, it is a serum, and seals in shine for a polished finish and comes with 3.3 fl oz.
The bottle does not say to apply it to damp or dry hair so I tried both to see how I liked it. For me I feel like a slightly dry hair is the best to apply this because damp hair was just "too wet" and completely dry left my ends looking oily if I used to much. I did really like it though when I used it and braided my hair, it made my hair look so healthy and shiny.

Overall I love this product plus you can purchase it at the drugstore and its less then $6? Don't quote me but I will be repurchasing this product again when I run out.

Another hair product I have been loving is the John Frieda Frizz-Ease in the sheer solution. 2 fl oz. I got this because I get those baby hair on top of my head and throughout the day my hair just looks like someone rubbed a balloon in my hair. Not cute.

I was going to pick up the Garnier Frizz helper but I saw this and they had a formula that was light so it wouldn't way my hair down which is a major plus because I have long hair but its thin so a lot of product can really make my hair flat and very boring.

This product works by shaking the bottle to mix the two fluids in the bottle and then you apply it into damp hair. The bottle says to use 10 drops and mix it into damp hair which I did like but I like always want to try it with dry hair to see if there was a difference. I only used I think 1 drop maybe 2 just to not over due it and make my hair look like I poured olive oil over my head. I really liked this effect because it really helped keep my fuzz in a way at bay and kept my hair smooth.

So I will repurchase this product again as well. I think my target trip was a success.

Be on the look out for my summer must haves coming up along with my favorite bronzers!!

Lip Butters?

Hey Everyone
I went to my drugstore and purchased the nee Nivea Lip Butters.

I am in love!  They are very moisturizing and creamy on the lips. Only downside is that the packaging is in a tin so you have to use your fingers.

That is truly my only complaint but I love these and need to get more!!

The Beauty Blender

Hi Everyone

So during a shopping adventure a few weeks ago at sephora I saw that in my store they finally had the beauty blender! I have been eyeing it up for a few months with all of the youtube, instagram, twitter hype but I held off. I did purchase the Sonia Kasuk one, I was unimpressed so I was concerned with paying the 20 bucks for a sponge.

I made the dive and I was so excited it was in the small section's next to the cash register so of course I saw it right when I was going to pay so very impulse but like I said it's been on my mind for months. I might be the only person or I may not be that girl who when she gets home from buying new makeup I get home take off all of the makeup so I can put on the new stuff! Naturally I used my beauty blender and wet it just like it all of the youtube videos and I used it with my L'oreal True Match Lumi.

This sponge is worth it. And let me tell you I am in college and I just can't wrap my mind around spending gas money on a sponge, but then again I am a makeup obsessed person so I justified it.

So is this hype worth it? Totally just like what everyone is saying just buy it you will get the use the crap out of it. I have seen though in the few weeks I've had mine I see some small rips where I think when I went to squeeze out the excess water my nails cut into it a little so something to watch out for I not squeeze out the extra in a towel.
I have already made another purchase so I can have a backup of the beauty blender but honestly one sponge is enough for a normal person.

Hope this helps!

Where have I been?!/ CVS

Hi Everyone

I am so sorry it has been so long since I last posted. Let me update you on my life.

• First off I am a full time college student and with the end of this spring semester coming up my classes have been loading on the work load. If I was better at biology I think it would be easier but....I am struggling so I am spending more time studying for this class.
• Second, I compete in pageants and last month when I competed in the Miss Royalty International pageant at the beginning of March I was very blessed to be the winner, and be your new Miss Royalty International for this next year. So with this title I have been very busy promoting my platform of Autism Awareness. 
• With my platform of Autism and April being Autism Awareness month I have been very busy promoting Autism Speaks and making appearances. 
• I also have a job. 

I am in no way complaining but simply explaining why I have been absent. 

So lets get into some good stuff!

I recently did a little shopping on Sephora I will let you guys know exactly what I got when I receive the package in the mail!

But I also made a trip to CVS to see if I could get my hands on the Milani lipsticks that I hear everyone talking about. I really had my mind set of the Rose Hip (a hot pink), as well as Nude Creme (nude). Unfortunately....both lipsticks only had 1 left of each and both were not in a good condition. So I passed at the moment. I can't leave empty handed, so of course I wander and find things I need.

• I caved and finally purchased the new Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation in the shade medium beige. Perfect shade for me! I am usually a NC20-25 in mac but I do self tan so I get closer to a 30-35. 
• I got a new mascara the Almay Get up and Grow
• Nivea Lip Butters- Carmel and the Rose flavors.

So thats where I have been and my most recent little shopping trip! 

Enjoy and hope to see you in my next post!

Always
