I like it straight, im sure you do too!

Throw away the straightener, no need for that anymore!  Time to rave about a product that makes hair gorgeous and straight!  Purchase Wella Professionals Enrich Straight Leave in Cream.  This product give hair that shine and healthy look that we are all striving for.  Just apply to damp hair and style as usual to get amazing results.

Quick Tip* Hair is more delicate when it's wet, so make sure you wait until your hair is more dry than wet to keep those strands healthy!

Hm I guess tip #2?  Want it straightener straight?  Use a paddle brush to achieve straight hair rather than a round brush. 

Alright Alright Last Tip!- Use quality products and get quality results! You make not have the most amazing blow drying skills but why limit yourself more with a crappy blow dryer.  Spend the extra bucks on a tool that will last you years, and love your look.

 Elchim Professional Blow dryer can give you that perfect straightener straight look, or even add some volume to your locks.  Don't limit yourself with a crappy blow dryer, get something to help you vs fight your creativity! PS not that expensive, price comes in at around $90 - $100 bucks. Get it got it good!

Fabulous Find! AKA go find it :)

Lovee thisss!!! I found this amazing blush at Sephora, which is a Coral which looks great on everyone's complexion. 
Wait it gets better..... This product SELF ADJUSTS to your skin color. Yep that's right.  You can actually save money by purchasing this product because it can be used for your summer and winter complexion, and still look absolutely gorgeous.  Wooh hoooo!

5 No Go's

Hey guys, id like to share some products that I wouldn't recommend.  Actually after purchasing these products I felt an urge to start a blog geared towards purchasing cosmetics/ products etc.  Feel free to tell me your thoughts about these as well! xoxo

1. Prestige Illuminating Bronzing Powder in "sunflower"
     When I first saw the packaging for this bronzing powder I was attracted to the large dish size and the color of the product.  After using it I didn't like the "color" that it was supposed to give off.  In fact, the brush didn't grab the powder at all, and my face had no visible changes from this product.  I do not recommend it, use the $10.00 that it cost to buy a product that actually does something.  Buyer beware!



2. Tarte "Park Avenue Princess" Mineral Powder Bronzer
     For a quick fix I ran over to Sephora to get a darkening bronzing product.  I have always liked Tarte products, so picking up this product was only natural.  After applying the powder I didn't get that darkening effect I was looking for.   The powder almost seemed to be stale or too hard for its purpose making it really hard to deepen the color of the bronzer.    The bright side of this product is that it came in a nice packaging with a nice copper faux alligator look.  Also I thought that even though I didn't particularly achieve the right tone/shade, the bronzer was a natural sun tanned look.  I do not entirely regret buying this cosmetic, but I was definitely not that impressed for what I intended to use it for.  This products gives more of a glow and illumination effect.


3. M.A.C Glitter and Ice Lipstick in "Soft Sable Frost"
     Okay, Id first like to say that I am obsessed with M.A.C products so it pains me to be disappointed with this product.  Although I love the quality of the lipstick, and the clean cut packaging, I wasn't particularly impressed with the color of the product.  The color has a pretty tone with a streak test, but the color makes me appear to be dead when worn.  The color seams to have a purple undertone that give me the illusion of being cold.  I still have some faith in this product and I'm hoping to figure out a color that will revamp this lipstick because I love my M.A.C!

4. Sephora Crayon Jumbo in "white"
     Although I don't think this product is a total waste, I do think I have used better similar products for the buck.  I bought this product to get a nice highlight for my brow bone, and rather enjoyed the color.  *Generally I would prefer something more matte than the shimmery color it gives off, but served its purpose as a highlighter.* On the other hand this jumbo crayon is a complete b**** to sharpen.  Literally tried to be as careful as I could to sharpen the crayon but with utter disappointment clogged the sharpener over and over with product.  I prefer the NYX Sticks in milk instead for a more effective result, cheaper price, and an easier time sharpening!


5.M.A.C False Lashes in "False Black" Mascara
     Once again, absolutely love M.A.C but this product I wish I never bought.  Probably shouldn't have listened to the salesperson because M.A.C Haute & Naughty Lash in "Black" is 839048390284903829 times better.  I didn't get the length or volume that I had achieved with the Haute & Naughty mascara.  When using the product I felt as if the makeup of the product was too heavy because it definitely weighed down my eyelashes after I got an okay curl.  If your going to make the best out of this product, wait for the first coat to dry, use an eye lash curler, and apply second coat.  This will give you a better curl definition and volume similar to the Haute & Naughty.  Can't wait to finish this mascara and do my back to MAC program :)
