John Frieda Beach Blonde (new formula) collection + Reviews

It's about to get beachy up in here!

Today I have some reviews for you on a new-ish line from John Frieda!

Despite what the name suggests, John Frieda's Beach Blonde collection is not only for blondes! It is a line that increases texture for all you beauties out there, whether you are blonde, brunette, or a redhead!

This line was actually released ten years ago for the first time, and then John Frieda pulled it in 2007, and the beauty world went nuts! It was a cult favorite, and now that it is back the world is rejoicing! 

L'Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper Brow Gel Mascara | Review + First impressions

Hey all!

Have you heard of/ seen this yet? This is the L'Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper Brow Gel Mascara (could the name be any longer? haha), which claims to plump up your brows with its "Fiber infused gel formula". 
Here is the description from the L'Oreal website:

"Fill brows in an instant and hold hair in place with this easy-to-apply brow gel mascara. Formulated with a subtle tint, the gel adheres to even the finest hairs, leaving them fuller and more defined with a single application."

Lush Big Blue Bath Bomb + others | Review

Hey everyone!

So I am a big Lush fan, and I have been running out of my favorite bath products recently. Yesterday I popped into Lush quickly to see if they had the Avobath and the Butterball bath bombs, but of course those were the only 2 that were COMPLETELY gone (and the ones I wanted the most). So instead I decided to get the "Big Blue" bath bomb to transform my bath into a wonderful vacation get away :)

 

Most people drop the entire bomb into their bath right away, but I don't. I literally carve away at it and it didn't use even a quarter of it. Some day I will put the whole bomb (or half) into the water, but I just feel like I'm wasting it and literally lying in the money that's going to go down the drain. I like to get a couple of uses out of it and enjoy it too!

Garnier Fructis Full and Plush Shampoo and conditioner | Review

I am always interested in trying new shampoos and conditioners for my hair, and when I saw a coupon for the new Garnier Fructis Full and Plush shampoo and conditioner I was really interested in picking it up.

To start off, I have very fine hair but a lot of it. Because of this my hair tends to get oily pretty quickly, plus I naturally have an oilier scalp (sounds gross, I know). I envy the people who can get away with washing their hair every other day! I definitely can't :/

Because my hair is fine, I like to use volumizing products to add some body.

So what do I think of these?

Scent:

Both the shampoo and the conditioner smell the same, and it is a really pleasant scent in my opinion. It is kinda fruity, and that must be because it has pomegranate and an active fruit concentrate in it that penetrates the hair. For more info on that then see the picture below!

It's been a while since I used Garnier Fructis shampoos, but what I can say is that the scent of this is similar to the others. Smells refreshing to me!

I am particular about trying shampoos because a lot can create extra oiliness, but this one doesn't. My hair does look more voluminous and it is still soft, but not too much!

At first I didn't know if I liked the conditioner, because it took a while to rinse it out. My hair felt silky smooth afterward though! :)

Overall do I like it? Yes I do! I really love how it doesn't make my hair greasy and how my hair has volume but also movement. I'm also a sucker for packaging... :) I would recommend!

Speaking of which, the caps to the bottles are really sturdy. It has the standard Garnier green "button" that has ridges in it for easy opening.

I'm sorry that the quality of these photos aren't all that great and that there's a glare. I am at school and had to make due with what I have!

If you try these out be sure to let me know what you think of them!

First impression | Covergirl Full Lash Bloom mascara

HAPPY 2015!!

I know I'm a little late, but I hope you all had a very happy new year! Today I have a first impression sort of thing for you on the Covergirl Full Lash Bloom mascara. This is a relatively new mascara that you may (or may not) have seen commercials for and in the store!

*Read the bottom for a little update*

I received mine for Christmas, and I was excited to try it out! The mascara claims to give you "exceptional lash fullness that's soft- even to the touch." This mascara has a mousse formula with natural beeswax that will allegedly make your lashes never stiff or brittle.
