Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner!

I use a lot of heat products, and I end up with dry, damaged hair if I don't take care of it. I want my hair to look and feel healthy! I have used a lot of shampoos and conditioners, but I never bought the same thing twice! I have dry, wavy hair that can be a little hard to manage, and they never did anything special. I always knew there was something better out there! (I have the same issues with mascaras! Ha.) Most shampoos are very drying, but after using these my hair feels super moisturized! I always leave my conditioner in for a few minutes and afterwords my hair feels like silk. It definitely hydrates, and it smells wonderful. I feel like it makes my hair more manageable and controls the frizz that comes with dryness. I am a sucker for packaging too! Anyway, I have finally found something I can stick with! I always pick up the value bundle from Walmart for only $9.50. It comes with the shampoo and conditioner in 23.7 fl oz bottles.

Purr by Katy Perry

I am a committed drug store junkie. I am a college student. I don't splurge often, but I can't stand cheap perfume. I'm not a fan of body sprays you pick up in the large plastic spray bottles (Sorry, Bath and Body Works!). In high school I would us the shower gel, lotion, and perfume. They all smelt beautiful... for about fifteen minutes. No one ever complimented me on how I smelled or even noticed. Now I have a few favorite perfumes, and it only takes a few sprays to smell good all day long. Anyway, I am a huge Katy Perry fan. When I heard she was coming out with a perfume, I knew it was going to be interesting and unique. I was right! I really love it. It doesn't just smell flowery, sweat, or fruity. It is a really fun mix that works! The smells aren't competing with each other. I get tons of compliments. The packaging is almost irresistible alone!

 Here is the description:

Purr by Katy Perry eau de parfum begins with the aroma of peach nectar and forbidden apple, evolves with a distinct floral bouquet of jasmine blossom, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid, and slowly reveals accents of creamy sandalwood and musk. Like the singer herself, Purr is playful yet sophisticated. Katy Perry transcends barriers with her music—so does her new fragrance.

You can pick it up from Nordstrom. I picked up the largest size: 3.4 oz, but there is a smaller size: 1.7.  It is pricey, but I love quality perfumes! Anyone else splurge for perfumes?

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen!

I have already said I don't have the patience for detailed nail designs, but I love the way they look. I am always trying to find a way to achieve detailed nails with almost no time spent doing it. The other day a friend picked up the Sally Hansen nail art pen, and I wanted to give it a try! I love it! It is just like using a freaking sharpie. The pen comes to a point and you just draw the design on your nails. It makes clean lines! When I first used it I was afraid the polish was going to rush out of the tip, but it worked just like a marker. It also surprised me that it dries super fast. All you need is a clear coat over it and your ready to go!

Yay for more easy ways to make nail designs!!!!

This is a pic from my first time using the pen. More of my love for bows!

Self Tanner Lotion Reviews!

I have the whitest skin. It's almost glow in the dark! As much as I would love to be tan, I refuse to use tanning beds for the obvious reasons. All of the spray tan products I've tried had two different results: orange skin or streaky skin. I decided to try self tanning lotions, and these are my results.

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer

This product comes in two shades: fair to medium and medium to dark. It is a white color like a regular moisturizer, but the smell tells you otherwise. It's not bad at first, but it sneaks up on you. I used to put it on at night before bed, and I had to smell myself all night. Not a fan of the smell. I also feel like it took a while for me to notice a difference in my skin tone. On the plus side, it never streaked or looked orange! It does give you a glow when you use it as well!

Price: $8.79

The smell by itself knocked off a whole star. Haha, but seriously I was a little disappointed the first week I used it. I eventually got some results, but it took a little while.

Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion

This lotion comes in two different shades, light medium and deep dark. As soon as it comes out of the tube it is already a beautiful bronze color. I love how it gives you a more tanned look immediately. It also has a nice tanning lotion smell to it. It is oil free. I never got any streaks or orange color. If you continue to use this product on a regular basis you will see results! I use the light medium, but a friend of mine uses the dark and swears she gets faster results. It does take some time to see a HUGE difference.

Price:  $7.09

This one is defenitly my favorite. It makes me feel tanner every time I use it! It still takes a little time to see a big change in skin tone though.

Review: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Today I'm reviewing Urban Decay's Primer Potion. It is meant to make eyeshadows last longer, prevent eyeshadow from creasing, and make the pigment stand out stronger. I have to say, it does all three! My eye makeup lasts the whole day, and it never piles up in the crease of my eyes. I use eden. It takes a very small amount of the primer to spread it all over your lids. I like eden because it gives the eyelids a natural color and good coverage.

On the left side of my arm are the shadows applied straight to the skin. On the right are shadows applied over Urban Decays Primer Potion. As you can see the shadows on the right are way more pigmented. Anyways, I love this product, and I give it five stars!!! It does everything it says it does.

Review of the Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm

I really like this product! It gave me fuller looking lips, longer lasting color, and great pigment. It is just like a marker, and it is so easy to use. It is kind of like coloring in the lines! I got mine from a drug store for $8.99. Now I have to say, as much as I love these, there is a negative side. The chap stick part of the product broke off after only two uses!! It sticks straight out and doesn't roll down. I don't know what they were thinking when they made that decision, but other than that I love it.

This is me with the color Lust on my lips. Anyway, I give this product four stars.
