Schwarzkopf products - MUST...GET..MORE

So I tried this product last week on already dry hair and it gave me some volume and made it easier to texturizing, puff, and curl.  

Well today after a 7am boot camp I sprinkled some into my limp hair, rubbed it in and I've got the best post-gym hair ever.  I've never been able to get any volume into my hair after it ring sweaty, wet, and limp.  Not to mention I'm way over due for a haircut so my hair weighs about 10lbs right now!  

Miracle in a little red bottle? Yes! I can't wait to try more of their products!!  This stuff is a must have...had my hair not been a little wet....I could have really had some big fabulous hair. 

Manicure in a flash

So we all love the look of a unique nail for a night on the town right?  But who has one to DIY or spend a ton of time waiting in the salon?  

Well Impress Mani had the perfect solution.  In a variety of colors an even some wild animal prints, you can have fabulous nails in 10-15 minutes.  It took me about a minute to just do two nails!!! And they'll last through the night and you'll get plenty of compliments on your trendy fingernails :) 

Secret's not so secret....

So I normally wear Secret's clinical strength deodorant because I'm really active.  But pulling my tops and sports bra on a couple times a day - I'm left with white marks up and down my tops.  I've gotten used to putting them on a certain way to avoid those pesky deodorant marks.

But recently, I tried Secret's Outlast which is made to avoid those gross white marks that will never come out of your little black dress until it's next visit to the dry cleaners.

How did it work? Well..no white marks for me so far. I think I sweat a bit more during my runs BUT how much is a little more sweat when you're running 13 miles? Exactly..not noticeable at all :)

A good deodorant to have on hand when you know you'll be in a wardrobe change :)

Glam Glow - tried and tested

So I bought Glam Glow which is all the rage in Hollywood right now.  It's pretty expensive at 70 from sephora for 1.2oz.  

Luckily I was able to get mine for 1/2 off by waiting a few months and looking for online deals :) 

I washed my face thoroughly and applied the mask as indicated.  It seems to have a charcoal base similar to that of the Origins purifying mask.  Glam Glow also has little black bits of something in it - not sure what they were.  

The mask went on smoothly and a little goes a long way.  It immediately started drying and tightening...at the end of the 20 minutes the mask had obviously absorbed a lot of oil in the t-zone.  I wasn't brave enough to capture those results, maybe next time :) 

My skin felt soft, smooth, and the pores looked a little smaller.  Is Glam Glow with all the hype???  Maybe.  I'd buy it again at the cheaper price but I think origins might work just as well.  

American Sniper

Another book done!  I just finished American Sniper by Chris Kyle - non fiction and autobiographical as the cover says.  

This book gives you a new perspective of the war in Iraq....and the life of a Navy Seal. Its a great, quick read that makes you think about what you hear on the news and media.  Chemical weapons in Iraq? Yes....never reported because???? Well the stuff came from western allies....

Getting an honest peek into a seals life was really interesting.  It's a huge sacrifice for them and their family - patents, siblings, children.  It also offers a unique perspective of someone trained to kill and kill a lot.  How do you stop doing that when its time to move on? 

As you know Chris' story ended well up until this past February where he was shot and killed at a Texas gun range by an ex-military guy suffering from PTSD.  Worth the read??? Definitely :)
