So I filmed the steps that I take to do my hair after I shower...or my After Shower Hair Care Routine!

March Favorites!

Hi Beauties!
Today I have my favorite products of March for you! I don't have a big variety of products, mainly because I've been loving and using the same products lately!
So let's get to it! :)


1. John Frieda Controlled Lightening Spray
I have been using this spray since January I think, and it says that this spray is suppose to lightening your hair as well as make your hair not look brassy. This spray has actually worked and I am loving it! Usually around this time I need to color my hair again, but since I've used this spray I don't need to touch up my roots! It is definitely something I would recommend to blondes!

2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish
I have actually been loving 3 spring colors from their collection. The colors stay on my nails for about 5-7 days which is a pretty good amount of time for a drug store nail polish. The colors I have been loving are Lacey Lilac, Coral Reef, and Mint Sorbet. The colors in this collection are super cute, I wish I had them all!

3. Physicians Formula Bamboo Bronzer
A few months ago I bought this bronzer, but havent needed to open it until now. I have been using this for about a less then a month, but I am loving it! It really leaves your skin with a glow and it almost looks like you have a highlighter on, but it is just the effect of the bronzer! It does have a more of a yellow color to the bronzer. So far I am loving it :)

4. E.L.F. 100 Shadow Palette
I do talk about this palette alot, not just on here but also around my house or at school. I really love this palette because there are so many colors that are really pigmented. It has a mixture of shimmer and matte textures. The only thing I do not like about it, is that some of the colors are kind of chalky. But other than that this is a really good palette for me!

5. Favorite Song
This month I have been loving the song Roll Up by Walk Off The Earth. This is a cover of the song by Wiz Kahlifa. If you have not heard of Walk Off The Earth, definately check them out! They make amazing songs!

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! :)
