Suave Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoos


I know that Dry Shampoos have been around for a long time time now. But I just wanted to express my love for my favorite, Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo. It works so well! It works just as good as the high end brands and it is so inexpensive. I got on this topic, because I picked up a tiny dry shampoo the other day to keep in my hand bag or my car, for days when I am out and about and what to refresh my hair. I literally spent more on this tiny bottle than I did on my Full Size Suave bottle and got about roughly a third of the product and it was not any better. What drew me to do it was that it smelt like Cherries. Now I will say it has a nice smell of cherries, not overbearing, but really it wore away quite fast. Now I am not going to put them on blast, cause that's not me. And it did work fine. Its just that when I find something that works like the Suave Dry Shampoo, I like to let people know about it. It actually works better than some high-end versions that some I have tried.

Smells So Good! Like Fresh Hair!

Now here is the Skinny of the Suave Dry Shampoo, Just in Case You are New to Dry Shampoos:

Shake Well Before and During Application. Hold 8-10 inches from hair. Spray Directly on oily roots.  Use heat from the palm of your hands to rub in excess powder. For oil prone hair, apply on first day hair is washed to give extra volume and texture as well as to absorb oil throughout the day.

I do not have oily hair, I have normal to dry hair. I mainly use dry shampoos because my hair will get somewhat oily because I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. I do this to save energy, preserve my color and to minimize exposure to heat styling tools. So hopefully, my hair stays in decent condition. I also use dry shampoo throughout my hair to give it a boost of volume.

Final Thoughts:

Dry Shampoos are just one of those wondrous beauty products that you think to yourself, what did something so simple take so long to come to the market. I mean I am literally looking at the ingredients on the back of my Suave and on the back of another bottle of a high end brand (sold only at Department Stores and Salons) and the MAIN ingredients are almost EXACTLY the same. I mean come on! If you are going to charge a premium, than do something like make the bottle so beautiful that I want to display in on my vanity. That's all I ask......

Thanks,

MAC VIVA GLAM NICKI 2 Amplified Lipstick

MAC VIVA Glam

Nicki 2 Amplified Lipstick



I just picked up the MAC VIVI Glam Nicki 2 Lipstick and I love it. I know once again, I am probably late to the party on this one, since the MAC store told me it has been out since January. But I don't care, because I love it!! I could not help but blog on it!

It is like the perfect spring pink. It is very pigmented and true to color. I can't stand when I buy a lipstick and you cannot swatch it (usually at the drug store) and you get home and its pretty much sheer or no where near the color that it looks like. This lipstick is spot on and ready for Spring!

The Color is Exactly as it appear on your lips..:)

Oh and Check out how tan my arm is in the picture (much tanner in real life)! I will be posting on my New Beautisol Self Tanner soon! I have self tanned for over 10 years so I know a good one, when I come across one. You can also check out this lipstick on me on my twitter page or my instagram under my "Glossy Box January Cover Look Recreated".

Final Thoughts:

I adore this Lipstick! I even got the matching LIPGLASS that I have not tried, but will be posting on soon! And to even make my purchase even better, the entire proceeds went to charity! I literally can't say anymore! It doesn't get any better!

Thanks,

Maybelline Flash Clean Clean Express Makeup Removing Lotion

Maybelline The Flash Clean

Clean Express! Makeup Removing Lotion



I last blogged about an amazing skin cleanser! So I thought while I am on that topic, I will let you know about the other latest skin cleanser that I have bought and have been using. It is the Maybelline New York, The Flash Clean - Clean Express Makeup Removing Lotion. Now I bought this one because it is a two in one. No Excuse me, a Three in One! It can remove both eye and face makeup, deeply cleanse the skin, and moisturize. I usually use my Philosophy Purity for when I want to remove both eye and face makeup at the same time, but I am always on the hunt for something new that will work just as good and will cost less.

Here is the Skinny on it straight from the Bottle:

1. Instantly removes:
Unique lotion instantly transforms into an ultra-rich liquid, due to exclusive Quick-Break Technology (Gosh I love Technology). It releases powerful cleansing agents to quickly break up the most stubborn makeup, even waterproof mascara.

The Formula is Creamy and does turn to
Liquid once rubbed into the skin!

2. Deeply Cleanses:
Infused with Moringa Seed extract, nature's purifier, formula goes beyond makeup removal to purify and clean everyday impurities.

3. Moisturizes:
Soothing lotion deposits lightweight moisture as it cleans.

It is dermatology tested, allergy tested, and suitable for sensitive skin.

It states that you can apply this to your face with your fingers or with a cotton pad and than gently massage all over and that no rinsing is necessary.

I have tried this cleanser a good ten times now and I like it. I like that it removes both my eye and face makeup. I use it with a cotton ball to remove my eye makeup and use my hands to massage it into my face. I always no matter what, rinse after I wash my face. Even if it states that you don't have to! Only because I have very sensitive eyes, and I just feel cleaner when I do!

Final Thoughts:

I think this cleanser it a bargain for what it does and it's price. I think it is too soon for me to know if I would switch from my Philosophy, but I am liking it so far. I think that it is a great drug store alternative. I will keep you posted!

Thanks,
