April Favorites

Finally! May is here, my favorite month because

A - May is my birthday month,

B - It's finally getting a little bit warmer outside,

C - It's almost summer!

So here are my favorites for this month.

Nivea Tinted Moisturizing Day Care

I have used this moisturizer a lot this month,

mostly on weekends when I want to lay off the makeup

a bit and keep things natural. You might be wondering

why I'm using a tinted moisturizer instead of BB or CC cream

and the reason is simple, I just needed something a bit more

moisturizing than a BB or CC cream. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I'm pretty sure this is not the first time I have

included the Batiste Dry Shampoo in my favorites

but since I cut my hair short I have been using it

a lot to add volume to my hair.

Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray

I have owned this sea salt spray for a while

but I didn't really use it. When I cut my hair I started

using it again and I really liked it. I spray it in my hair

in the mornings and it gives my hair soft waves, which 

I really like.

H&M Lip Pen

I have used this lip pen so much this month!

It reminds me of summer and the color

is just beautiful. It's a buttery texture so it won't leave

your lips dry. It's not quite a lipgloss but it's not a lipstick 

either, it's somewhere in the middle and I have a feeling

I will be using this lip pen a lot this summer.

The Body Shop Shea Beautifying Oil

If you haven't tried this oil from the body shop

you are missing out on a lot, let me tell yah!

I was watching Essie Button on youtube and she 

was saying how much she loved this oil so 

I decided to give it a go. I'm really glad I did 

because it's amazing. There are like four or five 

smells you can choose from but I chose the Shea one, it

smells so good and luxurious. It says on the bottle that you 

can use the oil on your body, face and hair. I use it instead of

a body lotion. It leaves your skin soooo soft and you don't have to 

wait until it sinks into your skin. It's just so much better than body butters!

You have to give this one a go.

March Favorites

I am sooo late with this post! I've been meaning to do this post for days.

 You know how it is when you have to do something but you never give yourself 

time to do it, if you know what I mean haha. Anyways here are my March favorites.

John Frieda sheer blonde shampoo & conditioner

This has been my go to shampoo and conditioner this month. It leaves your hair so soft and smelling so good. I don't recommend using it if you have dark hair though, your hair might turn a bit orange. I love that the shampoo and conditioner don't leave my hair frizzy or heavy. If you haven't tried any of the John Frieda

hair products, you are missing a lot.

Nip+Fab Glucolic Scrub Fix

I needed a good face scrub for mah face and I was so impressed by my Nip+Fab body butter that I though that I would give this one a try. I am really glad I did because it is such a good face scrub. First of all it smells ah-mazing, like candy. It leaves your face so refreshing and smooth and you really feel like you are getting all the dirt out of your face. I don't recommend using it every day, it might not be good for your skin.

RealTechniques Blush Brus

I've had this one for a while now but lately I've been loving wearing blushes and this is my absolute favorite brush to use. The blush applies so nicely, evenly and it looks so natural.

NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

I think I have never mentioned this brow powder before, which is weird because I use it EVERYDAY! It is so amazing, it has two shades of brown and a gel but I never use the gel because luckily, I feel I don't have to because my eyebrows pretty much stay the same all day long. I feel my eyebrows look really natural if I use both shades, so I like to mix them together and it looks really great.

These are my March favorites!

Tips for healthy, beautiful hair

I've been meaning to do this post for a while,

so i'm glad i'm finally doing it! Here are some

tips for healthy and beautiful hair, hope this helps!

Don't wash your hair everyday

Your hair gets really quickly greasy and your hair will

get really dry.

Use different shampoos & conditioners

If you always use the same shampoo & conditioner,

your hair will get used to it and it won't work as well.

Use "healthy" products

Try to buy products that are good for your

hair and don't have any bad chemicals. I use this

shampoo & conditioner 

Don't use heat

Using hair straighteners and curling irons will damage

 your hair. I'm not saying you should never use it,

it's okay to use it once in a while but make sure you

use heat protection.

Treat your hair

Use deep conditioner every once in a

while to repair your hair. I use the sheer blonde

conditioning treatment from John Frieda.

June Favorites

I can't believe June is almost over!
Here are my favorites from this month and
my most used products. 

Love this lip stain from NYC. It's in the shade Persistent Pink,

 and it's perfect for this summer.

I've already done a review on this, it's the 

Moroccan argan oil shampoo and conditioner from Organix.

You can read the review here

This is the John Frieda sheer blonde go blonder lightening spray.

I like to lighten my hair a bit for the summer and this spray

works really well. You can see a big difference after using it 3-5

times but if you use it to much you might damage your hair

because it dries out your hair.

I bought this hair brush from The Body Shop. It's a pretty

big brush and it works really well.

Review: moroccan argan oil shampoo & conditioner

One month ago I bought the renewing moroccan argan oil

 shampoo and conditioner from Organix.

All Organix shampoos and conditioners are paraben free, 

sulfate free and they are pH balanced.

 The Moroccan argan oil shampoo and conditioner help protect your 

hair from heat and UV damage.

If you wash your hair everyday or just want a lightweight moisture, this

is the right shampoo and conditioner for you.

The shampoo doesn't lather when you use it but

that's because it doesn't have any bad chemicals so that's a good thing!

After using the shampoo I use the conditioner. For best results leave it in for 3-5 minuets.

I love this shampoo and conditioner, I love the way it smells,

how it makes my hair shiny and smooth and

 i'm definitely going to try more products from Organix.
