Review: Proclaim Argan Oil Hair Treatment
Thursday, February 9, 2012
I discovered Sally's
Beauty Supply store about six months ago and have been hooked ever
since!! I'm always on the hunt for new products to help strengthen and
tame my long hair.I have heard so many good things about Proclaim products and that they were somewhat similar to Moroccan Oil but way cheaper. I decided to pick up the Proclaim Argan Oil Hair Treatment at Sally's for $5.00. I'm sure glad that I did!!
Product Description:Uniquely formulated with argan oil and natural ingredients that condition, help repair dry, damaged hair without weighing it down, eliminates frizz and infuse brilliant shine.
Directions: Apply a small amount to your palm and distribute evenly through damp or dry hair. Style as desired.
Ingredients: DIMETHICONE ,CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONOL, FRAGRANCE, C12-15 ALKYL
BENZOATE, ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL OIL, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, LINUM USITATISSIMUM (LINSEED) SEED OIL, YELLOW 11, RED 17, BUTYLPHENYL
METHYLPROPIONAL, CITRONELLOL, COUMARIN, HEXYL CINNAMAL, LIMONENE, LINALOOL
REVIEW: This is the best $5.00 I have spent in a long time. I like to use this treatment once a week after I wash my hair. I apply this treatment right before I blow dry my hair. My hair is to the middle of my back and a dime size is sufficient. I apply it to my hair from the ear down. I usually have just a little small amount left on my hand after applying so I rub in little on my roots. This product is wonderful and I love it. I will definitely repurchase more in the future.
Pros:
- adds shine
- alcohol free
- a little goes a long way
- cheap
- great detangler
- helps tame frizz
- lightweight
- makes my hair soft and silky
- smells good
Cons:
- If you use too much of the product, it can make your hair greasy!!

My Favorite MAC Lipsticks+Swatches
Tuesday, January 31, 2012
My top 4 favorite MAC Lipsticks!!
Angel: Mac describes it as a soft pink. It is a frost finish and I didn't honestly think I would like it. Angel in my opinion is not very frosty at all. It does have a very slight
shimmer but it's very creamy on application. Although I do love this lipstick I do find it very drying and the staying power is not very long.
Hue: Mac describes it as a soft pale pink. It is a glaze finish. It leaves your lips feeling soft and very moisturized. It's very sheer but buildable. I really love it but the lasting power is not so great. I finding myself having to reapply often.
Lovelorn: Mac describes it as a emotive blue pink. It is a lustre finish. I really like MAC lustre lipsticks because they don't dry my lips out. They are sheer, moisturizing, and very easy to apply. This looks great paired with a neutral or dramatic look.
Hug me: Mac describes it as a flesh pink. It is a lustre finish. I really love this lipstick and it's one of my go to nude lipsticks. I love that it doesn't wash me out.
What are your favorite MAC lipsticks??

Review: Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion

Infused with an innovative blend of natural plant extracts to lift, firm, tighten and diminish the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and varicose veins, as well as minimizing bruising and sore muscles.LOOK GREAT IN YOUR BIRTHDAY SUIT...As a Hollywood makeup artist, Bethany has been using this formula to make her celebrity clients' skin glow. After years of request to make this product available, Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion is finally here. It not only looks beautiful on, but with the help of some innovative active ingredients, will also improve the condition of your skin.

REVIEW:
I was thrilled to be able to try out this product. I chose Dark out of the 4 shades to choose from. I love the packaging of this lotion. It ensures that you will get every single bit out so none is wasted. This lotion has a watery texture and makes it easy to blend the product in. It's very lightweight and sinks into the skin super fast! It shows off muscles tones and gives a beautiful, golden glow to my skin.. It also wears well and does not
rub off onto clothes. I will definitely purchase more once my package is empty.

Products I use to keep my feet soft and smooth
Thursday, January 19, 2012
I'm a big lover of open-toed shoes, sandals, and high heels but they can definitely take a toll on your feet. I have been on the search for products to help my feet. These are three products that I love and have been using for awhile now. No more dry, scaly, rough feet.
CVS Cracked Heel Balm
This is an amazing product. I noticed a difference in my feet in one use! I like to apply this right before bedtime. I just roll CVS Cracked Heel Balm all over my feet then put socks on. In the morning I wake up to soft feet. This product is incredible and can be purchased at CVS for $8.99.
Ped egg
I have been using the Ped egg for many years now. I have to admit when it first came out on tv, I didn't think it would work. I have tried so many "As seen on tv" products and MOST never worked. This is one of the few that definitely works. I like to use this after getting out of the shower when my feet are dry. I'm amazed at the shavings in the container after filing my feet. I purchased mine at Walmart for $9.99.
Mr. Pumice Pumi Bar
I love to use this while I'm in the shower. Once my feet are softened from the water, I will scrub my feet with this. It helps rid my feet of any dead skin. I love it and it is very cheap. I purchased mine from Sally's for $1.59!!
Have you tried any of these products?? What are your favorite foot care products??
