REVLON PICK UP!

Picked up some new REVLON products :)

Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Whisper, Peach Petal, & Lilac Pastelle.

Love this glosses. So smooth. Not sticky. Perfection colors! Work well as toppers or on their own for a light pigment on your lips! I own a few others from this line, love em! Good drug store lipgloss!

Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute! Finallllly got my hands on this. I absolutly love this color. Gorgeous fall time shade :)

Color Burst Lip Butter in Creamsicle, I would die with out Lip Butters! I loveeee them! Perfect for when you don't want to be fancy with lipstick or lipglosses. Butters give color to your lips & make them smooth & silky. Leave a glossy look without having a actual gloss on.

Color Stay Whipped Creme Foundation, mine is in Warm Gold. I haven't tried it on my face. I used it on my arm so far. LOVE the texture. Feels like nothing is on you when applied. It is a THICK consistency, a little goes A LONGGGG way!

Go give em a try!

Leave It To The Pros ;)

With the start of fall, hair is in need of some extra lovin! Here are my go to leave ins! 

All Applied after shampoo (and daily conditioner if desired).

It's a 10: Helps strengthen, thermal protect, and de-frizz hair before you blow it dry. Used over time it will rebuild your hair from past damage.

Simply Smooth Magic Potion: This potion has keratin in the formula to help repair and refresh your hair back to a healthy state. Helps de-frizz and smooth, "fixes everything" as the bottle says. I find this gets through even those "yucky" areas in your hair where you feel it's a goner, it brings it back baby!

Macadamia Natural  Oil No Tangle Pre-Styler: Combs though dry, damaged hair without causing breakage. Very lightweight good for virgin hair to color treated hair. I like this product for multiple use during the week.

Crack: 1st, hehe, this product is newer to the scene. I have seen good results! Rather than a spray in, this is a cream. You only need a dab and work it into the mid to ends of your hair. Then, blowdry and it helps seal ends and gives great shine!

It's a 10 Lite: Similar to the regular 10, this is gear towards volumizing hair. This is a lightweight, fresh scented, and generous spray.

Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream: Smooth buttery texture, only need 1 pump or 2 depending on your hair length & thickness! Keeps hair nourished and smooth, helps blowouts last for days!

Redken Smooth Lock Stay Sleek: This baby is good for kinky, curly, unmanageable hair. About 1 to 2 pumps applied generously to hair keeps hair smooth and silky & lasts in hair through 3 shampoos! This bottle alone will last months. Heat activated, used with flat iron your hair will be revived.

Matrix "Sleek" Blow Down: This is my go to for ANY HAIR TYPE. I use this on all my clients. It is the freshest smell. (I could bathe in this!) Helps smooth out hair. Has 24 hour technology to keep hair the way you style it. De-frizzes and smooths hair without a greasy look. 

Hask Placenta: Laugh if you must. This stuff repaired my hair from a over-processed mess to manageable hair. Available at Sally's Beauty Supply. Shake and spray this baby into your hair and it repairs chemically damaged hair. I used this in the shower mixed with my own daily conditioner. I did rinse out. However it is made to be a leave in. It gives INSTANT results. No joke.

Big Sexy Hair "Healthy Sexy Hair" Soy Tri-Wheat: This stuff is awesome. Smells great. Light formula. One of my 1st leave ins I tried. It doesn't weight down hair. The soy strengthens and the wheat gives shine to hair & body.

Well there you have it! Now go get some!!

***I recommend purchasing professional products at your local salon. Products in drugstores are highly over priced, could be tampered with, and outdated.

E.L.F. Nails!

Stopped in Target today picked up NEW FALL E.L.F nail polishes! The packaging alone loured me to them, so chic!

They don't appear to have a name although the bottom said:

"28 & 26"

Used both colors on my toes :)

Love these polishes, I hope to see more polishes from E.L.F. They are a steal at $2.00 a bottle! Perfect fall colors!! They also had CUTE nail files, tweezers and a eyeshadow book for $6 bucks!

Buy E.L.F. Here!

HAPPY PAINTING :)

Drug Store Facial Washes

Sharing my MOST USED drug store facial washes!

My favorite. This scrub is a creamy consistency not rough. It is made to fade past acne marks, treat present acne and prevent future acne! LOVE. I feel this wash really does what is claims.

This is more of a scrub, but very gentle! I tend to use this in the shower as a mask. The warmth from the shower mixed with this scrub wakes you up! I feel my skin is tighter and fully cleansed after using this.

This wash is a light scrub. You can feel the mirco-beads but it doesn't have the same scrub feeling as the "power-clear scrub" from Neutrogena. It is a daily wash for me. I don't think it clears up acne. It mainly does the trick of waking you up! Good daily cleanser for oily to normal skin.

This is similar to the last one mentioned. I find this wash to be effective as a daily pure wash for your face. Nothing fancy! But it does smell amazing! It is infused with real fruit which caught my eye. I tend to use this if I need a pick me up or don't want a strong wash!

Hope my opinion helps! Not everyone's skin is the same. But these are my choices for my skin.

Jeweled Nails

 Achieved this look with:

MILANI DISCO LIGHTS & OPI PINK FRIDAY

Mentioned these two polishes in previous posts! Mixed them together to achieve this jewel toned look!

Love it and the glitter topper keeps the nail polish on really well!
