May Favorites

1. EOS lip balm sweet mint, love this stuff, I keep it in my bag at all times.

2. elf eyelid primer, I find that this $1 primer is a dupe for some of the more expensive eyelid primers out there.

3. Naked palettes, this month I’ve pretty much only used these two palettes. If you are a neutral eye fan, these palettes are worth the money. 

4. elf flat liner brush, this brush was included in my Elf mystery bag and I am so glad that it was. Its great for lining your eyes and water line..

5. too faced candleight glow highlight, this highlight is perfect for the warmer months it helps me to achieve a nice summer glow. 

6. too faced chocolate soleil, this bronzer is great for a sunkissed look plus it smells like chocolate ;)

7. Garnier fructis sleek and shine intensely smooth leave in conditioner, this is probably my most favorite, favorite, if that makes sense. After I get out of the shower I run this product through my hair and it leaves my hair silky smooth. If your hair is damaged I suggest picking this up. 

8. Makeup forever hd foundation, I caved I finally got it. It took me a minute to get used to, it dries fast so you have to work quickly. I put it in my favorites because I have mainly been using it however I’m not sure if I would re-purchase it. I’ll keep you guys updated, if you want a full review on it let me know. I also have the primer and powder. 

Those are all my favorites for the month, but I also thought I’d included a product I really did not enjoy.

Product I regret: 

tresemme split end remedy leave in conditioner. I found this made my hair feel even more dry and it looked slimy and gross. I really did not enjoy this, maybe I did not use it properly but it just did not work for me. Let me know if you have tried it.

HAIR CARE ROUTINE

Hi guys, I wanted to do a quick post on my hair care routine. So here goes lets start with shampoo.

Within the last month I have switched to Suave humectant moisture shampoo. 

I have highlighted my hair and it has definitely helped put some moisture back into my hair.

Next I have already blogged about the macademia deep repair masque so I won’t go into depth about it, but just say that the directions suggest only using the product twice a week.

Because I don’t want to use this product every time I wash my hair I picked up the Aussie 3 minute miracle deep conditioner. The Aussie conditioner only costs $3-4 while the macademia retails for $30 (cheaper on Amazon). 

This conditioner has been great in between my uses of the macademia masque. I typically wash my hair every other day and alternate between these two products. If your hair is not that damaged but you would like it to be softer I suggest trying out the Aussie 3 minute miracle, its cheap and leaves your hair nice and soft.

For me personally I needed the more extreme macademia masque because of the state my hair was in but I will continue to use the Aussie conditioner in between my macademia uses.

Okay so lets move on to styling. FIrst off I use the tresseme heat tamer spray before I blow dry or apply any kind of heat.

For Christmas I was given a Bumble and Bumble gift set. I foudn the seaweed shampoo and conditioner to be a little drying which is probably because my hair is color treated. However I enjoy the styling lotion and creme. 

First up is the Bumble and Bumble styling lotion. 

I use this product to detangle and soften. 

Next up is the Styling Creme. 

I use this product to add some body and texture to my hair. I run this product through my damp hair.

After all this I blow dry my hair with my chi blow dryer. However I have been thinking of buying another one. I have heard great things about the NuMe dryer, but I know that one is expensive. I’ll let you guys know if I purchase the NuMe dryer or any other blow dryer.
