Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo

This has been the dry shampoo I have been using consistently for the past couple of months. I am completely done with the can...anyways this has a baby powder smell to it (which I am not a huge fan of) but it is AMAZING! It absorbs the oils like a dream and keeps my hair matte for the whole day! I spray this on second day hair and it's just a dream!

Out The Door Matte Top Coat For Nails

After seeing the matte top coat trend for months I decided to pick up a bottle for myself! If you didn't know... Out The Door makes my favorite regular top coat! It dries literally in seconds. I love the look of matte nails for a chic effect. The only downfall I found in this was that my nails don't stay looking matte for as long as I want it too, but other than that, this gives my nails the amazing matte look for 2-3 days!

Real Techniques Buffing Brush

I have been using this brush to buff my foundation in for the longest time! This gives my face a beautiful finish and blends everything into my face like a dream. It keeps my morning face routine to a minimal amount of time!

Real Techniques Blush Brush

I haven't been using this brush for blush...but bronzer. I guess bronzer and blush are about the same, right? This has been a breeze for me to contour my face. It doesn't give me that chiseled look for my face but an everyday natural bronzey look.

Physician's Formula Bronze Booster

I have been using this bronzer consistently. I have the light to medium shade and I just swirl my Real Techniques Blush Brush into it and it looks nice without looking too orangey. I adore using this product to give my face some color.

Maybelline Colossal Volume Cat Eyes in Waterproof

I have been layering this mascara on top of any volumizing mascara I am wearing for that day. This helps my lashes look longer and helps me lock everything in so I know my mascara won't smudge around my eyes.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss

I love using this product for my lazy days. The days where I just need some color to my lips but I don't feel like pulling out a lip balm and lipstick. This is a 2 in 1 product for me. Especially now that I have started school and can be in a rush to get out the door in the morning!

Snickers Fun Size Chocolates

Now that I am a college student, I have back to back classes and each class is an hour and half long! So when I am feeling hungry I have this little guy to keep me going for the rest of the day till I can actually go and get real food.

Current: Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong

I will be starting to post about what I am currently using as my shampoo and conditioner. This will let you know what I am using and how I feel about it. I like to try new things, so I thought this would be a great way to record it.

I'm pretty sure you all have heard of Herbal Essences and probably have tried something from one of their lines. This shampoo targets those who want to have something that can help strengthen their hair so you will have long, healthy, and strong hair. I don't know if this really helps with my hair being longer because I was blessed to have genes where my hair grows relatively fast. I'm not too sure if this really helps my hair keep healthy, because I never really experienced problems with dry, damaged hair. Even if I do have damaged hair it would be split ends which I solve by getting a trim.

I have pretty long hair and do use heat once in a while and haven't discovered any split ends so I'm guessing this shampoo is doing the trick?

One thing I do like about this shampoo is that it smells terrific! I don't think it smells like honey...like the bottle states. Though I kind of feel this shampoo does make hair feel a little heavy and my hair does get greasy a lot faster, especially since I wash my hair every other day. Other than that, I do enjoy this shampoo and conditioner a lot!

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo

This may have to be my favorite dry shampoo! I adore this to pieces. This gives my hair a nice matte finish. It does not leave my hair feeling heavy. And since I have dark hair it does not leave a film of white on my hair where I have to brush it out. Since I wash my hair every other day I spray this on second day old hair and it gives my hair another day till I wash it. The only downfall to this product is the smell. It is one of those I love it or I hate it kind of smell. The smell is very zesty and fresh. At first I did not like this smell but as I used it and went through an entire bottle, I got used to it and don't mind it at all now.
