September empties.

I am so proud of myself that its only October 4th and I have this up! Yayy me!

Ok first up my two none beauty items! I figured I'd add them in because I am all about my surroundings smelling good so sprays and tarts are a must in this house!

 

I love candles but I use warmers most of the time because they are flame free and safer and I get more use out of them than my candles. The Warm Welcome scent (Walmart $2) smells amazing. Like fall and baking all in one. I always get compliments on it when I have guest over. Renuzit spray in Pure Breeze. So clean smelling and always adds a fresh scent to my furniture without being over powering. Both I have already repurchased!

 

 

 

 

ELF natural lash kit - I wore these while being a bridesmaid last weekend in a friends wedding. AMAZING! I received so many compliments on these lashes and they were so glamorous and beautiful. Easy to put on and I used the glue that came with and they lasted all afternoon & night, they withstood the crying, laughing, and dancing of an outside wedding in Florida. Y'all know this weather is crazy down here and they didn't even slip. Oh yeh they were only $1 !!!! Promise. I plan on buying a boat load of these next time! By far the best false lashes I've ever bought.

 

CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara - I liked it. But I won't be repurchasing for a while, if ever. I have over 20 something mascaras to use right now so I'm trying to stay away from the mascara aisle. Plus there are others that worked better for me than this particular one.

 

 

OK I am a super impatient person and I can't believe I even bought a two hour kit because it was going to require me to actually do the same thing for 2 hours. Um no. I get so side tracked. So I ended up splitting this up into a bunch of  different times, I did notice whiter teeth, maybe not as white as they could have been if I had done it all in one sitting like suggested. I will not be buying this again because I like my 5 minute teeth whitener better, its less strings attached. But I do LOVE the gel trays I did save those to use with my other whitening gel. The Sensodyne is really good to use after you whiten your teeth because it makes mine feel so much better because sometimes bleaching my teeth makes them sensitive. We have a million mini Sensodyne toothpaste in our hall closet , the dentist sends home a hand full of them everytime so I usually use them when I whiten. I probably wouldn't buy these on my own to use on regular basis because they taste gross. But they are free so I'll continue to use occasionally.

 

 

Equate facial cleaning wipes - LOVE, I just bought two more packs!

Venus Spa Breeze razor - Been using these for years, don't plan on stopping now!

Suave 24 Hour deodorant - Smells good, keeps me dry & smelling good! Keeper

Vitabath shower gel - Pink Frosting, smells yummy just not sudsy enough for me

Suave Everlasting Sunshine body wash- We love suave in this house. Super sudsy and the smell always last for us!

Sephora Instant bronzing spray - FAIL. So glad I bought this on clearance and not full price. I was so disappointed by this product. Super streaky and the color was so off. Didn't last. Ugh I'll stick to drugstore instant tanners over this next time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

long hair don't care !

It's been raining the past two days here in sunny Florida so I've had a lot of time on my hands and the house is completely clean soooo what better to do than review my new products and some old ones (: This particular one will be geared towards hair products ! Most of these I've been using for a couple weeks or more .

Suave Professionals $2.88 @ Walmart 

If you want salon quality shampoo at a fraction of the cost this is your product! I paid $2.88 for this huge pump bottle and I love it ! It smells great and leaves my hair so silky smooth ! I've noticed a difference in my hair in just two weeks of using this product. It's not as frizzy as usual and even when it rains my hair doesn't poof up at the first drop of rain. I will be buying this product again !  

L'Oreal Color Vibrancy Dual Protect Spray $6 @ WalMart 

 

I think this spray was supposed to be more of a product to help keep colored hair vibrant but what caught my eye is that it is a heat protectant up for 450 degrees, perfect since I use a blow dryer, flat iron, curling wand and hair curlers daily. I used to use nothing on my hair when I was using heat and in the month I've been using this I can tell a major difference ! I'm sure you can it onto dry hair just be careful not to use too much or it may get oily. But after I get out of the shower and towel dry my hair I spray a decent amount on my hair and kind of run my hands through it to make sure it coats all my hair. I don't directly spray on my roots since my hair is a little oily. I don't need anything triggering an oily mess during the day. But I let it sit while I do my make up then blow dry it and style as usual or just go to bed and let it air dry then in the morning style as usual. I will be buying this again and I defiantly will be trying more hair products from this line !

 

Biolage Protective Hair Oil about $14 at hair salons

 

This is a protective oil that protects hair against sun, pool water & ocean water. Its the best one that I've found and it last a really long time. I usually spray it in after I've gone in the pool or beach water and I spray it all over including my roots. It keeps my hair soft and keeps it from tangling up so that when I get home I don't have gross knotty hair and its not all dried out. I'll be buying this as long as they make it.

 

 

Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray $5.99 @ Walgreens

Not Your Mothers Clean Freak Dry Shampoo $5.99 @ Walgreens

 

I've heard of NYM brand before but never used it and at Walgreens they had Buy 1 get 1 50% off so I thought what a better time to try them. I had really high hopes for these products especially the dry shampoo because that's what I was really wanting to try and I bought the Sea Salt Spray because they didn't have any other NYM products to try and I thought might as well. I've used the Sea Salt Spray twice and its alright. I won't buy another bottle...If I even finish this bottle. I'll probably end up giving it away. Kelsey also used this and I don't think she had great results either so thumbs down on that one. The dry shampoo also disappointed me . I feel like I spray a ton of it and my hair looks just as oily as it did to start with. I'm not using it on like week old hair or something its hair that was just washed the day before and is a little oily. So I'm still on the search for a good dry shampoo ! If you have any suggestions send them my way ! As for the Not Your Mothers Products I won't be just randomly buying these anymore until I do a full review on them !
