TRESemme Heat Tamer Spray | Benefit Moisturizing Prep Toning Lotion | Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser | Clear Root Boost Shampoo | It's a 10 Miracle Leave In | Seaweed Clarifying Toner | Vaseline Total Radiance Cocoa Body Butter


*TRESemme Heat Tamer- Who hasn't purchased this yet? It lasted a really long time,maybe because of my fine hair? It's your typical heat protectant. Why everyone on YouTube gives it such hype is beyond me? I just don't find it to be so shockingly great..maybe it's just me?

Would I repurchase? Yes because it's fairly cheap but it's not my favourite by any means.

*Clear Volumizing Root Boost Shampoo. Okay I was fairly shocked at how much I liked this drugstore shampoo. I like to buy salon shampoo but this was great, it smells nice and didn't dry out my hair. It did not volumize but does any shampoo really volumize?

Would I repurchase? Yep!

*Benefit Moisturizing Prep Toning Lotion- This was from a monthly subscription box and it took me FOREVER to use it up. It was really different from any toner I have ever used.It was thick and moisturizing. It wasn't amazing to me despite all the good reviews I read but I was glad to try it out.

Would I repurchase? Negative.


*It's a 10 Miricle Leave in Product. <3 this product. How handy is it to have everything you need for your hair all in one bottle? It did help condition and volumize my hair, I would use this everyday if it wasn't for the price. I can't justify regularly spending almost $30 for a teeny tiny ass bottle of product that doesn't last that long. 

Would I repurchase? If I was rich I would always repurchase!!! 

*Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser. AMAZING! This stuff is my all time favorite cleanser! I received this in another monthly subscription box and am so impressed. My skin felt soft clean and refreshed! It removed my eye makeup as well so it was really awesome.

Would I repurchase? I guess I need to see the price...but again if I was rich HELL YES I would purchase.


*Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Toner- This stuff smells amazing to me, I really liked this toner! I am one of those people that doesn't notice much when I am using toner but if I had to pick any that I have tried I really liked this one. I felt it did help control oily skin slightly, nothing shocking but I did notice when I wouldn't use this my skin was more oily throughout the day.

Would I repurchase? Yes

*Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiance Body Butter- This is my absolute favorite body butter I have ever tried actually. The smell is incredible! I could eat it. I have since purchased the regular cocoa radiance lotion and pretty much love it. This is fairly moisturizing, but the smell wins me over the most.

Would I repurchase? Oh yeah!

November Favorites

6:18 AM

I kind of did a favorites earlier this month because I was so in love with some newer products but I still have a few others I have been using this month that I think are worth sharing!
Some of them are older that I have been using more since I forget about them all sometimes, and some are new.

*Wet n Wild Color Icon "NUTTY"
I have had this as a favorite before and I think I will again, it is so inexpensive and pigmented, I really like these shadows!
*Wet n Wild Color Icon "BRULEE"
This I had recently picked up, I have seen it on a ton of blogs and have been meaning to purchase it for a while.It goes nicely with Nutty
*Marcelle Soothing Cleansing Water
This is the current makeup remover I have been using and it's really nice! My skin feels clean and no residue or oily feeling after using.
*Josie Maran Argan Oil
I have had ehhh thoughts about this product, at least with my hair. I did purchase it months and months ago and with the hefty price tag I needed to start using it again other wise it is a big waste of money. I am currently using it on my hands and wow they are super soft! I am liking this more for skin then for my hair.

*Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil "Milk"
Who hasn't seen this before? I am so late on having it but I seriously love using it after I apply my primer just to hold shadow in place or for more of a bright color on my lid. I used this for my Xmas party look and it stayed on until the am very nicely!

*Marcelle Power Volume Mascara "Black"
This mascara really does give me volume and length, I am liking it a lot lately but I still have to layer with a waterproof on top to make it look like I have nice lashes =/ I don't know how anyone with crappy eye lashes can just use one mascara, it really doesn't work for me!

*Philosophy "Raspberry Sorbet"
<3 this!!!!  This is a bit thicker/sticky so if you don't like that kind you need to stay away from it-for some reason I like when its thick, I feel like it  stays on longer but not so great when your hair sticks in it.

My hair is getting pretty long and I am in need of deep conditioners more then ever with the crappy cold. Here is the 2 I have been using the most.

I just throw this mostly on my ends before I go to bed once or twice a week and wash my hair in the am and wow it is crazy soft! I think this stuff really works.

*Macadamia Deep Repair Masque
I LOVE this masque! Honestly if I was rich I would use this all the time! But a full size jar of this is too expensive so I have just purchased this little packet and I can get a few uses out of it. This is a must try for sure!

Bath And Body Works

Lip Gloss Anyone?

8:29 PM



 Who else is a lip gloss girl? I am a complete Lip Gloss junkie, I have them in my purse,my car,my night stand,my makeup drawer,in my coffee table, under my bed,probably every where you look lol. Here are some that I am currently using & Loving!




 Addicted to Bath and Body Works!! This is Dark Kiss and it smells amazing!! It is really glossy and not sticky,love it!



This is another Bath and Body Works Liplicious lip gloss, I have gone through 2 of these in the last 6 months. This one is the summer vanillas and it is a slight vanilla with a hint of berry! Very very good!


The last Bath and Body Works is the mint Vanilla, at first I didn't think too much of this one until my friend actually showed me hers and the smell is amazing! I have used almost the whole tube within a month or so. Love this!


This is Philosophy's Caramel Apple flavored lip gloss. This has such a great smell it makes you want to eat it. It has a slight color to the gloss, high shine and no stickiness. Love this!



Maybelline's shine sensational lip gloss in guava. This is probably my least favorite out of the glosses, it has a slight stickiness to it but not bad. It has a tiny hint of pink and the smell is fairly good! I got this on sale but i probably wouldn't buy it again unless it was a good deal as it isn't as nice as the Bath and Body Works ones.


The next two are the Nivea's lip balm kind of deal. I like to use this one when I find my lips feeling more chapped. It is just a basic lip balm that has a good smell!


 And last but not least Nivea's kiss of shimmer is a nice light tinted lip balm- I am not really sure if they are called lip balms but they aren't glossy so I don't think they are glosses =/

Ahhh forgive the cat hair in my pictures! I usually take the pictures on my kitchen chairs and I ran out of lint rollers and i didn't realize it was this bad =/

Those are my favorites that I have my purse/car over flowing with!What are your favorite lip glosses?
