Fast drying and harmful

/ Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

I am obsessed with this Fast Drying Top Coat, Seche Vite!  I notice that a lot of people I talk with about nail polish,say that they are also obsessed!  Being so addicted to this product, I went to a beauty store to purchase extra!  I walk in and ask if the store carries Seche Vite. The woman gives me a weird look and says “I hope you dont use that product!”  I get a weird look on my face because it amazing.  I told her “Yes, Yes I do, Its fantastic”  She mentioned that it had been pulled from the shelves a few weeks ago due to harmful chemicals in the top coat.  The company had to re-package the product with correct warning labels.  WHAT THE …. !!?!?!?!?  I decided to check into this.

The package states … “WARNING! This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.”

Seche Vite  is using “toluene” — which can be absorbed through the skin. It also contains formaldehyde (the chemical used in EMBALMING FLUID.)

HOLY CRAP!!!  Shiny nails are not that important to risk my health.

I did some searching in my sad, harmed reproductive state :)  I found a pretty bitchin’ Base/Top Coat.  Let me start by saying that is ISNT Fast Drying as Seche Vite BUT, It do NOT contain Toulene!  YAY!

It is called Duri Rejuvacote!  It is a nail strengthener and top coat.  It has made my nails very shiny and my nail polish doesnt chip, like Seche Vite did.  Try it out.  If you guys have any tips for a better top coat than the one I found, send it my way…  I take my nails very seriously! DUH!

 

 

Save your uterus … STOP USING SECHE VITE

Get it together, ladies !!!

I can NOT stand it when you ladies don’t take care of your nails.  Really?!?!? Is it that hard not to pick or fix a chipped nail ?!?!?!  It drives me crazy. If you can’t maintain your nail polish.. then, don’t paint your nails.  So simple.  If you can spend 30 mins on your hair, spend 30 seconds repairing your janky ass chipped nail polish.   I hate when I see a gorgeous girl… dressed awesome from head to toe, fly as can be.  I look down at her nails and they are janky.  STOP BEING JANKY.  If you are asking yourself, “why don’t I have a boyfriend!”  Try looking down at nails… is your polish chipped ?  There is your answer.  Maybe you are single because, every guy that looks at you thinks “wow, if she can’t keep up with her nails then maybe she can’t keep up with her hygiene”  chipped nails may mean that you don’t shave your legs… or something else ;)

Get it together, ladies.  Let’s keep our nails looking good…

You’re welcome for the advice.

My new obsession

/ Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

Recently, I was getting my huuuuuuurrr trimmed!  There was a girl who worked in the salon with the most shiny, healthy looking hair. I (obviously) approached her and said “daaang woman, your hair is awesome!!!!” She told me she used this shine serum and instantly, I stopped her! I said ” Is it Moroccan Oil? I use that stuff as well!” She proceeded to tell me, ” ew no, I don’t use that stuff, It weighs my hair down and is full or preservatives!” She had me curious! She showed me this Colure Shine Serum.  She explained to me how it was all organic and it didn’t weigh her hair down.  After time, will repair the hair.  I was like, “okay, Im skeptical”  So, of course I bought some :)  It was HALF the price of the Moroccan Oil and it actually makes my hair feel awesome. This is day 4 of using the shine serum.  My hair is shiny, soft and seems more manageable. It can also be used as a heat protectant  and you can add some drops to your conditioner  for extra color boosting!

All in all, I rate this product A++++

I WAS a huge fan of the Moroccan oil, until I tried this stuff….

I am in love with this product… If you try it or have currently used this product, send me your feedback!

XOXO

Well worth it!

/ Friday, September 30th, 2011

As most of you know, I love my products. #fact!

I am the kind of gal that will spend hundreds of dollars on great skincare, haircare and beyond. Well, recently (being the consumer that I am) saw an ad for … Infusium 23. This stuff has been around for a long time. I was intrigued to try it. If it didnt work out… it was only $5 at Target.

I used it last night and my hair is actually pretty shiny and healthy feeling. I just wanted to give a little shout out to Infusium 23 for being cheap and making my hair feel nice…

Very surprised!

$5.00 well spent

Hair Secrets

/ Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

I receive alot of emails asking me what  I use for my hair and skin. Well, I thought I would do a “hair” blog and reveal a few of my tricks :)

I am a big fan of clean hair, BUT not oily hair.

When I am in the shower, I try to leave the shampoo on for at least a minute.  This helps your hair soak up the shampoo and thoroughly clean your hair. When it is time to use the conditioner, I like to only put the conditioner towards the ends. I do not like to put the conditioner all over (unless you just dyed your hair) because it tends to make it more oily the next day.

Joico K-Pak

This is a miracle drug for your hair.  I have been using this shampoo/conditioner for awhile.  It is pretty amazing.  It contains human hair keratin.  It helps make your hair stronger and healthier.  If you are trying to grow your hair long and keep it long.. I suggest using this 3 times a week.

Hair masks from your fridge.

I am a huge fan of making concoctions. I mix an avocado, 1 tablespoon of mayo and a splash of whole milk.  Mix all these ingredients together. After shampooing, apply this mask to your hair, Leave in for about 30 mins.  Rinse out as usual.  I do not suggest using a conditioner after this.  This is very hydrating and will give you the shiniest hair. I love this one!

Moroccan Oil

I know the whole Moroccan/Argan oil hype is in full force, BUT let me tell you that I am obsessed. The directions say to apply it to damp hair and style as desired.  I suggest using this step, then I add more to my dry hair before I use my flat iron.  It doesn’t make my hair greasy or weigh it down.  If you have been using this product and aren’t “wow’d,” try appling after its dry.

Biotin

This is the BIGGEST secret of them all.  I take 5,000 mg of Biotin a day. Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin. It helps strengthen Hair and Nails. It also helps with breaking down fatty acids.  Ive been taking this for years, I swear by this stuff. 

So, there are a few of my secrets. Let me know if you guys have any secrets I don’t know about :)

Saddle Up!

/ Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

 

I am pretty sure everyone has heard of “Mane n’ Tail” shampoo and conditioner… Right??!!   This stuff has been around for quite some time.   I wanted to blog about it because I had forgotten about Mane n Tail until I was reading some hair tips on Google. It suggested Head and Shoulders made your hair grow faster as well as Mane n Tail.

Well, let me just say I was not too keen on the idea of using  Head and Shoulders.  So, I went to Sally’s Beauty Supply to get me some horsey hair!  Surprisingly, the company has come out with a wide selection of products. I went simple and grabbed the original shamp+cond. 

 I have been using it for the past 2 weeks and I really like it. Which is embarrassing to all the expensive hair care items in my shower.  My hair feels really soft and healthy.  I am not sure if it has rapidly started to grow, but it does feel thicker. (which is always nice)

I am a big fan of these products.  I am assuming someone else out there uses Mane n Tail. Give me some pointers!!!  Unless your suggestion is Head and Shoulders. …No Thanks

Hairy Eyelids

/ Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

I have been on a “mascara” hunt for quite some time now. I literally have tried EVERYTHING! Thank you to everyone for the help and suggestions!

I am dedicating this blog to the best and worst mascara’s. If you do NOT care about mascara, you will no longer be needed here :)

WORST!

CoverGirl – Lash Blast $7.99
this is the MOST flaky, sticky mascara ever. My eyelash curler got stuck to my lashes everytime I used it. Flaked on my face all day! sorry Drew Barrymore, but I am not a fan

M.A.C.- Plush Lash $14.00
Nope, nope and nope! this mascara is so sticky and made my lashes very brittle. I love MAC but not their mascara’s

Maybelline – Great Lash $5.00
Honestly, I don’t see what is so great about this mascara. My lashes didn’t look longer and thicker. just darker. So, I wasn’t too impressed

BEST!

Fresh – SuperNova $25.00
This mascara is tar free and alcohol free, so my lashes were not sticky or flaky. Also it has a conditioning oil that helps your lashes.. YES!!

Almay – Get up and Grow $8.00
I was hesitant with this BUT I am surprised! It wasn’t flaky or sticky and has natural conditioners to help promote lash health/growth. LOVE THIS ONE

DiorShow – BlackOut $30.00
I was a big fan of this mascara, the only downside to this – it dries out pretty quickly. If you don’t like spending $30 on a mascara then I would suggest you grab Benefit – Bad Gal Lash. It literally is the EXACT SAME THING for $19

I hope this helps anyone out there struggling with mascara’s. Also, if there is a mascara I did not name that kick’s ass, please let me know.  I am sure I will try it :)

Last of the Mohicans !!!

/ Thursday, March 17th, 2011

  I am sure all of you have seen the “feather hair extensions” but just in case you haven’t I posted a picture of my hair. At first when I saw them I thought they were hippie/cheesy! They kind of grew on me. I like them alot now! (obviously) I went to Amber at Esoterica salon.  They offered all different colors at $20.00 a bundle, which is about 5-8 feathers!

  You can blow dry, curl or flat iron the feathers. They stay in for about 4-8 weeks.  They are really soft and come in all different lengths and colors.  The ones in my hair are “natural.”

What do you guys think of this trend?

Addicted!

/ Friday, February 4th, 2011

We all have shopped at Whole Foods Market right?!   Well, its my addiction!

Have any of you had that moment, where you need 1-2 items from Whole Foods and you leave with 10-15 items? I am that gal.  I go in to Whole Foods with a list, a mission , a purpose.  As soon as I walk inside I get SUCKED IN.  The fresh fruit, veggies, cheeses, healthy EVERYTHING, Kombucha,  deli and bulk items. They also have a really cool “dog/cat’ aisle.

I was sitting here bored and just curious if anyone else out there had the same problem.  I get consumed with weird things – like the “all natural and organic” terms.

Also, if you buy your vitamins or herbs at Whole Foods, they have a “Whole Body Value Card.”  When you buy 10 supplements / body care items, you can receive $10.00 off on the 11th item.

I need some Whole Foods addict stories… Do tell. Don’t make me feel alone. :)

Shatter, Crackle and Pop!

/ Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

As you all have seen (I’m sure) the new OPI Katy Perry “shatter” nail polish!  They just arrived in stores (Ulta, Sephora, etc.) and are selling like hot cakes.

There are 4 main colors and then the “shatter” black cracked nail polish that goes on top!

Don’t worry, if you get to these stores and they are sold out (which most of them are) you can hop onto Ebay or Amazon and grab the original crackle nail polish created by Mia Secret for a fraction of the price!

The great thing about Mia Secret Crackle is their assortment of crackle colors. OPI only offers black! Covergirl also offered a selection of colors, but good luck finding those, since they came out 10 years ago!
