2 of my new favorites for April

My friend introduced me to this Narcissus oil at Whole foods. Oil's last so much longer than EDT's and this one from Nemat international is  100% alcohol free which equals pure oil. They come in 2 sizes, ranging form $8-$15 bucks. If you haven't ever smelled Narcissus before it resembles a blending of jasmine with hyacinth.It's Super pretty and floral. Narcissus is said to be influenced by the magic of Venus, the goddess of love. It has long been used to manifest new relationships or enrich current ones.

I'm soo stoked about this new hair mask from Naturelle KeraPro Restorative intense treatment for dry to very dry hair. I don't have dry hair really, but my ends are SUPER dry! I use a CHI flat iron everyday so I needed this! I've been using it for about 2 weeks and really do see a difference. It has advanced glucose, lipid and keratin protein actives in the conditioner. I wash my hair first then use a shower cap on top to seal in the moisture from the steam of my shower for 5 min. rinse in cool water and Ta Dah! It's silky smooth!! You can get it from Sally's either in store or online for about 10$ bucks. Let me know what y'all think of it =)Oh P.S. it smells good too

Some of my favorite things at the moment =)

I saw this at Massage Envy in New Orleans. I was super congested at the time and the receptionist said that she used this in the shower & it helped her sinus'. I was a little skeptical at first, but I'd try anything especially if it's a bathroom product you don't have to twist my arm I'm a sucker! LOL
So, what you do is get in a super hot shower (or as much as you can stand it) to make alot of steam and then spray this in the steam. It's made with 100% Pure Eucalyptus Essential Oil but BEWARE close your mouth  when you spray it in the air-it tastes yucky-BLEH! lol It really made the my sinus' feel better at least temporarily. I want to try the lavender next.

OK, If I were to make a bath sponge this is the one I'd make. It's so sweet and girly =) I love the pink color with silvery  glitter thread running around the edges. It's the little things that make me happy =) If you need one of these in your life you can get one at CVS for $1.99! LOL

                                                                                                

 Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush is such a fantastic dry shampoo because it really does work without making your hair look white or gunky looking. It has a faint flowery smell too which is nice. I have dark brown/black hair and it blends really well after I brush it through. I sometimes use it right after I wash & blow dry because it gives my limp hair super body. I buy this from Sally's for about $7.50 for 7 ounces and I also carry a travel size for my purse. The price is unbeatable for a awesome product because I know that a lot of dry shampoo's are pricey. It a HG product for sure.

SOOO this little treasure is actually food flavoring that I found for 99 CENTS! at an Indian store. I know y'all must think I'm crazy, but honestly it smells like really expensive rose oil. It last a long time too-I just dab a little on my wrist & I end up smelling like roses!HA

Inexpensive Shampoo & Conditioner that I Heart!

I have honestly tried a ton of different shampoo & conditioner's, some good and some not so good. I've discovered both of these at my local Sally's beauty supply store and was super impressed at the quality for the inexpensive price!

The ION Daily Solutions Gentle Cleansing Shampoo is for all hair types and is also 100% vegan. I'm not a vegan so that doesn't really make a bit of difference to me but, it's nice to know. I've used a few ion products before and really wasn't impressed with them. I got this one as a free gift so I wasn't expecting too much. DAMN I was shocked no lie! lol First of all it smells incredible-like vanilla and coconuts with a hint rose (as my fiance described! ha) It makes a nice lather, not too much though. I'm sometimes leary when shampoo's lather up alot because it means that it has alot of soapiness in it which equals build-up. I ALWAYS make a habit of  looking at the ingredient list on the back of products & I was stunned to see that Linseed extract (flax seed), Grapefruit extract, Chamomile, Jojoba oil, & Panthenol are within the first 7 ingredients!! I have oily fine hair ,so I have to wash everyday-this has been a awesome product for me =D The price is $5.99 for 12 ounces.  It's a definite keeper!

Next up is Loreal's Feria Professional Conditioning Treatment 6oz for about $8 dollars. Even though I have super fine hair the ends get dry because I flat iron daily. I use to use Bumble & Bumble Seaweed Conditioner but its pretty pricey for 8ounces-about $20 bucks at CVS. I use it everyday so I would use up alot quickly. It wasn't very cost effective ya know? The Loreal conditioner is the same stuff that is in the little packets of conditioner if you ever have colored your hair at home with a box dye before. I use to squeeze every last bit out of those tiny packets. I swear I don't know what it is that they put in the conditioner because the ingredient list isn't anything that I recognize, BUT hands down this stuff is magical! It's not heavy at all and doesn't leave a oily residue. It's mainly meant to be used after a color treatment, but I use it everyday. I'm on my 4th or 5th bottle now-so I guess you can say it's my HG (holy grail) product!
