My first Hair Care post

It recently hit me I have yet to post anything about hair i.e. care, styling, tip, tricks. So today I'm gonna talk about my personal hair care. I personally wash my hair everyday it helps to get my day going plus I hate that grimy feeling you get when you have like two day hair I cant handle it yuck. So for daily shampoo I like to use something that is clear as apposed to a shampoo that is creamy or opalescent looking. Clear shampoo has less conditions so it will give a better clean. For conditioner I like something that says smoothing or sleek any of those type adjectives I really don't know if it really works but I tend to gravitate towards those conditioners. The next part of my daily routine is to spray Apple Cider Vinegar in my hair I spray this all over from scalp to ends brush my teeth then rinse the vinegar out thoroughly so you don't end up with vinegar smelling hair. I wrap my hair in a towel to dry it a little bit put on my makeup then go back to my hair I spray a leave in conditioner on my ends my favorite one is from Big Sexy Hair the health Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat leave in conditioner. This product smells so good and works wonderfully like my tangles just disappear and my hair just feels like silk. I like to use a paddle brush with plastic bristles and boar hair bristles mixed. The boar help close the hairs cuticle to make the hair smooth and shiny. If I'm going to flat iron my hair I use a heat protecting spray. For the finishing touch I use just a little but of Moroccan oil to help keep some moisture in my hair and add just a touch of shine.

My Favorite Drug Store Blush

I guys I just wanted to do a quick post and share my favorite drug store blush. Which is Milani in Luminoso. I bought this a long time ago used it put it in the back of my drawer and forgot about it re found it and fell in love with it. I love to wear this with dark grey smokey eye the warmth of the blush really complements the look but you can wear this with any eye look. If your pale to medium skin tone I definitely recommend this blush its a good price.

November Favorites

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving. I don't have alot of Favorites this month some good older stuff I had and a few new things. 
  1. Is a new item to me its Urban Decays All Nighter setting spray I got a free sample and it really works for me I do have to touch up my nose and forehead because they do get shiny but my makeup stays in place all day.
  2. Number two is a blush I found while organizing my vanity its Milani's Luminoso Baked Minerlized blush its such a nice blush to wear with dark smokey looks because it doesn't compete with any eye look.
  3. The eyeshadow look I wore most of the month is from my smoked palette I really enjoy this palette but the look is Mushroom on the lid Freestyle in the crease and backdoor in the outer V and a little bit in the crease. 
  4. Four is my new highlight shade in Whisper of Guilt its such a nice golden glow.

Urban Decay Haul

I little while back Urban Decay had a deal were if you bought two single eyeshadows your got the six pan eyeshadow palette free. I thought this was a great deal you got a free palette that comes with an eyeshadow and brush there were also doing free shipping during that sale so you get a total of three shadows and a palette for like thirty dollars. I eyeshadows I picked were Sellout and Blunt the free shadow was Walk of Shame. Sellout is a frosty light pink highlight shade, Blunt is a peachy gold shade its really pretty on blue eyes, and Walk of Shame is a Matt pale skin tone shade its got a slight pink undertone. The palette is like the Naked 2 palette were its metal and has clasps it really durable I would feel safe traveling with this palette. oh you also got a sample size of All Nighter there setting spray which I have never used before and really enjoyed it and would purchase it on its own.
