As a blogger, I try to keep an open mind whenever I read anyone's blog, as I hope people do when read my blog. Very rarely do I come across a post by someone that really just...grinds my gears. Today though, as I was doing my daily reads on Facebook, I saw a reoccurring article popping up in my timeline, naturally I read it, and I wish I could unread it...

So now that summer has gone and Autumn is here, that can only mean one thing.....  HOLIDAY GIFT SETS! It's a great way to test out some brands that you otherwise might not choose to indulge in. Alt least, that's how I see it. I love high end brands, but sometimes their price tags turn me away\...enter in the holiday value sets......

Rant or Rave: Boots No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation

Hello Sugarplums! Next up in the seriously lacking series is the Boots No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation. Now, I don't know about you...but I love my face looking matte over looking dewy. Don't know what it is...I just...don't do the dew (hehe) So I naturally gravitate towards things that claim to be mattefying, but not without researching first. While I don't let other's experiences sway...

Let's be real for a second, as much as we all love high-end makeup, sometimes (all the time) our wallets don't love it quite as much. Now, I'm not saying I'm a cheap-o, I splurge like any other girl...but when you're living on your own and you got bills, sometimes splurging isn't always in the cards. So, over the years I've picked up some little tips and tricks and discovered a few hidden gems...

Comfort Zone - Wet n' Wild & SOHO

Thursday, October 3, 2013
  When it comes to eye shadow, Wet n' Wild always takes the cake. They're SO pigmented and so so SO affordable! I do have to say that 80% of their shadows are shimmery....so if you're more of a matte kinda gal, then be weary of that when making your selection. Since it's fall, and since Walgreen's was having a sale, I picked up one of their new-er 8pans called Comfort Zone, appropriately...

Ah, San Francisco. A piece of my heart will always be in that beloved city, there's so much to love about it. Just thinking about it warms my heart. Thus, when BH Cosmetics announced their California collection, I needed to get my hands on the San Francisco palette....& trust me, you'll want to once you take a peek at it...

So, I was flipping through the Sally's flyer and this brand came up, for buy 2 get 1 free! So OBVIOUSLY, I had to check it out. My Sally's always has a really limited selection of things, so while I was out for errands in New Hampshire, I decided to stop by the one in Rochester, just to see if they had anything different, and while their stock was extremmeeellly limited as well, I still found...

Haircare • Luscious Summer Locks • Mini " Not Your Mother's " Review

| On :
Tuesday, July 9, 2013


Aloha! (I don't think I've actually ever said that out loud......so touristy haha) HI HELLO HOLA, WUDDUP?

So, I kind of wanted to drift away from makeup for 2.5 seconds, and talk about hair. Now, I'm no expert, I'm not a cosmetologist.....but through many....many trials and errors I've picked up a few tips and tricks to keep my hair as healthy as possible....especially after I destroyed it, haha.
Last year I had the in genius idea to ombre my hair....worse decision ever. I never really dyed my hair until I moved away for college....cause....well, my mom didn't want me to damage my hair, ladies, listen to your mama, she knows what's up.

Now, I'm a junkie...a product junkie that is. As soon as someone is like "This made my hair smooth!" I have to try it, I get suckered in so easily...but then I remind myself that I don't have the same hair type as they do....haha so what kind of hair type do I have? I have THICKKKKKK, dead-ended hair. I know, I know...I should probably just cut off my dead ends completely and start fresh, but girl, I'm not fixin' to have a bob.


These babies are what I use in the shower. Yes, I use two conditioners, haha. I use not your mother's for the root area of my hair, till about half way down, and then I put the ion conditioner on the lower half of my hair. Then I put it up and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes

Buy these products!


Once I come out of the shower, I usually alternate between these two. One cycle I'll use the Tresemme one and the next cycle I'll use not your mother's. They are very different, and I honestly prefer the Not Your Mother's anyway, even if they don't the same thing for several reasons. Tresemme' is really greasy and when it dries (air or with a blow dryer) it turns really hard, not a fan. It also doesn't do anything for split ends, it's more like a chinsy oil type treatment. NYM's is an oil treatment with argon & macadamia oil in it, and my oh my it's amazing. It smells like heaven and whether you towel, air, or blow dry your hair, it makes your hair so soft and ugh, I love it! 


This is by far my favorite dry shampoo, it smells so good and it doesn't leave your hair crunchy or white and powdery & this heat protecting spray is THE BEST one I've ever used, better than anything I got from the salon, that's for sure. I use the dry shampoo between hair washes, I only wash my hair every other day, because my hair is wicked thick and if I wash it everyday, it's no bueno haha.

Buy these products!

These are more of a once in a while type of thing, just because I go through phases of wanting my hair straight and curly....but when I use these, I fall in love all over again haha How I use them, is when my hair is damp (not soaking wet, it won't work out well), braid your hair into like....two braided piggy tails basically. Go to sleep. When you wake up the next morning take them braids out, run your fingers through them a little then start spraying! haha Don't over do it though, because a little goes a long way. After you spray it in, just run your fingers through it again :) Between the two, I prefer the Charlotte Ronson one, ONLY because it smells like sunscreen and it's a little softer than the NYM Beach Babe, but i L O V E that Beach Babe has sea salt in it :') 

Buy these products!



I used to use ConAir and Goody brushes everyday, well duh, You gotta brush your hair everyday ahha. But it ALWAYS yanked my hair hardcore, I thought it was just cause my hair was impossible....until I learned that it was the brush. The brushes that have those little black balls on the end are like some form of barbaric torture. They cling to your hair and pull...and pull and pull. If you have long hair, you know it's a nightmare. So, when I discovered this Tangle Teezer brush, I thought I had found gold. I love this brush so much and it really does make a difference! 

Buy These Products!


I always heard of these products, but I never really thought anything of them....until I got a coupon code and down hill it went. Well, down hill for my wallet, up hill for my hair. These really do make a difference and they really do work. I intend on expanding my collection reallllll soon, there's a lot more I wanna try and I wanna find the Way to Grow Shampoo, it's ALWAYS sold out when I go to search for it :( There's SO many different products though, seriously, for straight hair, curly hair, long hair, short hair, bald hair, you name it, they've got everything. I oogle and melt every time I see their stuff online haha You can get these babies at Ulta, CVS, or just visit their lovely site! All their products are lightweight (I know I personally only have a few, but my friend Shauna uses these and I've tested them...and holy smokes!) and they don't weigh your hair down, like most conditioners tend to do. Trust me, these are worth every penny, and they're SO SO SO affordable. I LOVE Not Your Mother's, to pluto and back! 

Buy these products!

I know what your thinking, AIN'T NO BODY GOT TIME FOR ALL OF THAT, but really, if you're like me and you have destroyed dyed/ombre hair, you know how dead ends can get. The only way to re-hydrate your hair is to develop a routine. Trial and error my friends! 

Well, I hope this helped out a least a little! What hair products do YOU swear by? Let me know! I love trying out new products! 
Until next time
xx
