Shopping Fun HAUL
This is a collective Haul...things that I have purchased the past 2 weekends. The first pictures consists of everything from Ulta except for one thing, and that is from Arbonne. I got the Arbonne Sheer Glow Highlighter, its a very subtle highlight. Then we have NYX stay matte but not flat powder foundation, NYX shine killer, essence stay with me longlasting lip gloss in the shade 'my favorite milkshake', essence stay with me long lasting lip gloss in the shade 'candy bar', essence lipstick in the shade 'sparkling romance', NYX lipstick in the shade 'NYX', NYX lipstick in the shade 'narcissus', NYX mascara Le Frou Frou, NYX blush in the shade 'peach'. Then I got a tank from H&M and the black and silver sunglasses from there as well. The pink and black pair came from Charming Charlies. Then this weekend I went to Ulta yet again..LOL! I joke that I'm there as much as some of the employees! This time I picked up some Dry Shampoo, the Rimmel stay matte powder since the NYX is already hitting pan and I have only had it for a week now. I wanted to try the Maybelline Super Stay 24hr makeup! its NEW and I'm a sucker for anything that says NEW! I also picked up Maybelline Line Stiletto, its by far my favorite liquid eyeliner! I really wish they would come out with colors...because I would definitely pick up a teal, blue, and purple! I also got the Rimmel Scandaleyes, and have loved it so far! The brush is so thick and gets EVERY lash! Then I stopped into Old Navy and picked up this cute shirt and best part it was on clearance! I NEVER find anything that I ever want in the clearance section of ANY store! I stopped into H&M and picked up the necklace to go with the tank top since it looks like a rope and the tank has a nautical look since its a navy blue stripe. I also got my Sedona Lace brushes in that I ordered. I ordered the 480 round top powder brush, the 928 flat top powder brush, the 602 angled top powder brush, and the EB09 universal blender brush. The flat top brush is perfect for applying foundation and the angled brush is great for contouring, and the round brush can really buff out concealer and blend it all in. and the blender brush works better than the MAC 217.

Hair and There
Biolage Cera Heat
I love trying new heat protectant products, and when I saw this one from Biolage I had to pick it up. There are so many things I love about this product. First the smell...ahhhhh I have always been a fan of the smell of Biolage products, they just smell so clean. This heat protectant actually has a little hold to it as well, and I have hair on the thinner side and for others of you that do as well I'm sure you know anything with a hold in it makes our hair feel fuller. I am EXTREMELY rough on my hair when it comes to heat. Because I have a wave to my hair I blow dry my hair, then straighten it, and then I use a curling iron. My hair was damaged from over heating when I found this and was just getting worse. But when I started using this the damage didn't continue. So I would really recommend this product, but because its a cream you need to apply to wet hair and if you are going to straighten or curl your hair after I suggest a spray heat protectant as well.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle
These Aussie commercials get me...EVERY TIME! I love the smell of their products, very fruity. My hair was seriously over processed since I went from off black hair to blonde for my wedding. So I needed to find something to really help heal my hair. In the beginning I used this every night along with my regular conditioner for a week and started to see results...FAST. Then I started using it instead of my conditioner once a week and the dryness and split ends seemed to diminish. So because this made such a dramatic transformation to my hair I have told everyone about it. It really has the same if not better effect as a hair masque.
One 'N Only Argan Oil
I think everyone that has had damaged hair has been told to try an argan oil. Because of the condition my hair was in I wanted to get something thicker that would do more, so I decided to get a squeeze bottle instead of the spray. Because it doesn't lightly mist your hair it does make it look and feel very oily, which yes makes sense since its an oil, I don't know if it only made my hair look that way since its so thin and fine. I only use a small pea size amount for my entire head. It really worked wonders, it smells amazing and after washing it out made my hair so silky soft and very manageable. I have actually bought this for people as little gift extras and have never heard a bad response back.
Joico Joimist Firm
I was doing my weekly walk through at Ulta to see if there was anything I wanted to try...and BAM I saw this hair spray. Well normally hair spray doesn't jump out at people, but I will buy anything that donates money to a breast cancer foundation (even if its something I would never wear, like those silly bandz!) It came in a cute pink bottle and had the pink ribbon on the bottle. The level of hold I purchased was a level 5, and just so you know they only go to level 6, and I have to highly disagree with that. I loved the way it smelled but there was nothing great about the hold. When I would first spray it was a very good hold then about an hour later the hair spray seemed to be gone. My hair fell flat, and my hair holds a pretty good curl and this hair spray just weighed it down. I don't regret buying it but only for the simple fact that they donated to a breast cancer research company. I still have a lot left in the can, but only use it at the roots when I'm going to tease my hair or to hold down my babies if I wear my hair in a pony tail. But for just a few dollars more I would definitely keep buying the Big Sexy Hair.
