Things I've tried...




So I've been hacking away at all my samples because what's the use in hoarding tons of product?

So for the past couple weeks I've tried Klorane' dry shampoo. In the winter I'm able to go without washing my hair 2-3 days. So I thought I'd try a little dry shampoo during my in between days. The verdict?? It seems as though the shampoo works in the interim. It soaks up all the oil and leaves you looking less greasy but by days end my hair looks as thought it could use a wash. So this is definitely a temporary solution. I also used it a couple times after the gym and that worked well too.

Last week I received juicy's perfume spray sample. I tried it out this morning and though the sent smells great, it's simply not for me. It was very floral but youthful - if that's makes any sense to you. We've all smelled those perfumes that smell like a bouquet and would be spritzed on some 60 and older.

Next up is the aveeno bath wash. I tend to change between bath wash and dove beauty bar soap as I'm not particular to one version of soap over another. I will say I do like aveeno products and this one did not disappoint. The later was great without having to use too much body wash. It smelled nice and fresh and didn't leave me feeling flakey or dry afterwards.

And I've been using this eye makeup remover for years but I had to post my love for clean and clear's soothing eye makeup remover. It doesn't take too much to get your makeup off, it's gentle and best of all CHEAP and result available at all major stores!

And then we have the Clark's Botanicals smoothing marine cream. For some reason you can't apply this product to red or peeling skin- couldn't tell you why. I do like the cream but not enough to purchase. It has a very oceanic smell...that's almost a bit manly. This product actually reminds me of some male hair product Or something but I can place my finger on it. On this one too I shall pass...
And last but not least I've been using Merle Normans percentage forming eye cream and I am neither here nor there about it....it seems to work well. It goes on lightly and makeup doesn't tend to crease under it but there are others I like better. I like an eye cream that feels cool and makes your eyes feel like thy just drank a tall cup of coffee. But it does have spf15 so that's a nice plus. This is another I won't buy but it's actually a really good product.

So I bid you adieu until I either finish a book or try more products :)
Stay hydrated and moisturized!!!!

I tried it...

I tried this the past two nights. I got this from #birchbox and I'm on the fence.  The smell of the product is a bit "strange" - I think as you work it through your hair it starts to smell better but maybe that is just my imagination.

I read another person's review on this same product and they were overwhelmed with the smell. I compare it to a 90's salon where they're putting perms in people's hair.  But smell aside, the product is great.  My hair has had 2x the volume after each use.  I didn't do much to my hair but blow dry and go to bed. I woke up to fabulous big bed hair....will I buy it. Well that's debatable. I saw sites selling the product for about 40.00+, might be skipping on this one.  I'll have to see.
