My Hair Routine!

Hey loves!

First off I would like to thank all my followers! I just recently hit 155 followers, which made me really happy. So thank you so much!

I got a request for my hair care routine, and realized that I have not done a post on this since the summer! To check that one out, click here. So here is my updated routine! :)

First off, Some basic info about my hair routine: I don't wash my hair everyday, I wash it every other day. As many of you probably already know, it is very unhealthy to wash your hair everyday. It strips your hair of the natural oils it needs to grow and be healthy. I also rarely put heat on it. So that means I will either wear my hair natural, in some type of no-heat up-do, or French Braid it and wear it wavy. 

The shampoo and conditioner are not high end, but they work for me!

 

Here I have Suave Naturals shampoo, AG Cosmetics Therapy Conditioner, and L'Oreal Feria Conditioner. I switch up my shampoos and conditioners a lot, so they will always be changing!

 

 I also use John Frieda Sheer Tone-Restoring (purple) Shampoo and Blonde Highlight Activating Shampoo. Haha, Yes I do use a lot of shampoo. Once I am out of the shower, I let my hair towel dry, lightly comb through it, then I spray John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray all over my head. I use a wide tooth comb to spread the spray throughout my hair. I just have to add that this spray actually works! When I first bought it I was a bit skeptical about this product, but it has actually lightened my hair, and my roots too! I definitely recommend this to any blondes out there :)

 

 

The heat protector that I usually use is Got 2b Crazy Sleek Flat Iron & Blow Dry Lotion. This heat protector has a thick consistency, which I like because I find that it will protect my hair more. Lately I haven't been doing this a lot, mainly because I haven't had time, but I do deep condition my hair. When I do I use Garnier Fructis Deep Repair Mask. With this mask it says to leave it on for 1 minute, but I usually like leaving it on for more than just 1 minute, but thats just me :)

 

 

I never used to blow dry my hair, but for the Lightening Spray, it says that results are better when you blow dry your hair, so lately that's what I've been doing after I wash my hair. I use the Conair Fuse hairdryer, which is not highend, but it gets the job done! The times when I flat iron my hair, I use a Remington flat iron, but I forget if it has a name or not. If you watch my V-Day Hair tutorial video, there will be a picture of it in the video.

I hope this post was helpful! Let me know if you have tried any of these products, or if you want a review on any of them!

September Favorites

It's that time of month again, favorites time! Fall has been here for almost 2 weeks, and where I live the weather has begun to change. Cooler winds, shorter day, mildly hot day, and even cooler nights. Sooner than later its going to be Christmas! These September Favorites are not all that exciting, but here they are:

 

 

Garnier Fructis Deep Repair Hair Mask: With the changing of seasons, my hair is also feeling the change! The weather has been making it start to feel dry and brittle. The Garnier Fructis Deep Repair Hair Mask is awesome for moisturizing my hair. I use it 1 - 2 times a week, and I can see a difference after every use! It makes my hair easier to comb through after my shower, and silk feeling as well. I recommend this product if your hair gets dry or is damaged, it really works! :)

TAG: Fall Loves

I am doing a tag that my friend Ariel (chiclookxo.blogspot.com) posted that Macbarbie07 on Youtube recently created. This tag has a variety of fun questions about fall and Halloween! So here are my Fall Loves! 

Top 5 Makeup Items:

 

As you can see I had to add a lot of eye makeup. First is Maybelline XXL PRO Extensions Mascara. I absolutely love this mascara! It come with a mascara primer and when you apply that it makes your eyelashes super long! 

 

The NYC Liquid Eyeliner is also amazing. The brush that is in the tube works very well. The eyeliner stays on for 12+ hours with no smudging or flaking! It also does not run easily.

 

The bronzer listed is the Physicians Formula Bamboo Silk Bronzer. This bronzer is super silky and has a wonderful natural color to it. It also comes with a lighter color, so your face does not end up being one big orange!

 

I have to mentions my Joe Fresh Eyeshadows again! I love love love these eyeshadows as I have mentioned before. They are beautiful colors and very pigmented. Cant get enough of them :)

 

Lastly I am also loving this palette from Ardenz. I have already hit pan with 3 of these colors, but that is because I love these colors. They are perfect neutral colors for fall.

 

Favorite Hair Product:

 

 

As fall and winter are slow but fastly approaching, Mmy hair and skin get so dry in these seasons, so I need to apply a good hair treatment to keep it hydrated. My favorite is the Garnier Fructis Deep Repair Hair Masque. I apply it in the shower after I shampoo about once a week. The directions say to leave it on for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off. I notice right after I get out of the shower that it really works - and works well too. The smell is also amazing, it is citrus and refreshing.

 

Favorite Nail Polish:

 

I almost couldn't have picked one specific polish for fall, I had at almost 10 polishes in mind! The best one I chose for fall is Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro in Violet. This is a deep vibrant violet color that has a bit of blue to it too. It is an amazing color. I did a nail art design with it last week, and did not want to take it off. The brush to it is super wide and one stroke covers just about your whole nail! It also last super long. It says 10 days, but didn't chip before 6 days!

 

Favorite Fall Scent:

I love this La Senza Sweet Embrace Body Spray. It has fruity scent but does not remind me of spring fruit but fall fruit. Its a perfect fall sent. I also love the smell of Thanksgiving Dinner. The smell of cooking turkey and its other meals, is just a wonderful smell. 

Most worn accessory:

 

 My most worn accessory is big chunky jewellery! I love big necklaces, especially owls, and big rings! Ive been wearing them a lot lately and love the funky style that they give to any outfit. If you don't have some of these big jewellery pieces, go and get some! :)

 

Most worn clothing item:

 

Lululemon Pants! I wear these so often its ridiculous. I do sports a lot so I am used to wearing athletic pants. I don't have any pair in particular, but they just look great with most flats, booties/boots. 

 

Who is my Fall Style icon?

My fall fashion style icon is Demi Lovato. Ever since her single skyscraper came out, I have been in love with her. I find Demi to be just an inspiration to me, and I feel I can relate to her seeing how the struggles that she had, have affected me as well. 

  

I love the style that Demi has in her Skyscraper music video. The feather hair extensions, chunky jewellery, and cross earrings. I love the way that she wears them, so my fall style icon is most definitely Demi Lovato.  

 

You are going to a corn maze, what do you wear?

 

  The outfit that I would wear would be this cute top from Bluenotes, Lululemon Pants, and Purple Toms to bring out the purple in my shirt. Toms are not only in style and cute, but they are super comfortable! Depending on what the weather is like, you can always wear a black cardigan with this cute outfit!

 

What is your favorite Halloween movie?

 

Still to this day I do not watch scary/ horror movies. I have had bad experiences in the past watching them so I am going to pick a cute kids Halloween movie. 

 

  Winnie the Pooh Frankenpooh is such a cute Halloween movie, and still to this day I can still remember watching it every Halloween as a kid!

 

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

 

I don't have a favorite Halloween candy since I do not eat candy or chocolate, but the Halloween chocolate I like as a kid was the Crunchie chocolate bars. :)

 

What are you being for Halloween?

 

That is a very good question! I don't know exactly what I want to be, but I have an idea of a female sailor or a pin-up like girl something like this: 

 

 I think this is a cute costume to wear! What do you guys think?

Let me know, or got some great ideas? I would love to hear them! :)

 

And that's the end of this Fall Loves tag! This was really fun to do, and I challenges all my followers or anyone else who reads my blog to do this too. I tag you! :)
