My Favorite Things...

Well as most of you know, I am an avid beauty freak.  I have tried just about every hair product known to man..no seriously, I have.  These are on my top list:

1.  It's a 10 leave-in/ It's a 10 leave-in plus Keratin
**This product is my absolute #1.  This product is amazing.. it does 10 things, and I must say, I could not live without it.

2.  It's a 10 hair masque
**Basically leaves your hair feeling conditioned, silky, and absolutely amazing without weighing your hair down.

3. Chi Silk Infusion
**Leaves your hair silky, soft, and conditioned without weighing your hair down.

4.  Extreme Cat by Redken
**Just have gotten into this one, and I must say, I like it.. it puts protein in your hair and also helps to repair damage.

5. Any Bedhead/Tigi Shampoo& Conditioner

6.  Aquage root lifter/pump  
**Just discovered this as well, and I absolutely adore this.  While I love root volume, this does not make your hair sticky or weigh it down.

These are just my personal favorites!  If you have any you'd suggest, please let me know! I love great hair care!

Fall/Winter Nail Colors

If you know me, you know that I love painted, pretty, short nails, and also love colors that are "in season."  Well, this year, according to Essie....these are the most popular for the Fall/Winter, and well, I love Essie nail polish.

I love all these!! My favorite would be "school of hard rocks" and "brooch the subject."  These will look amazing  with my winter wardrobe! I will definitely be trying these! I will also be trying the Essie 3-in one clear coat.. A girl whose blog I follow suggested the 3-in-one, and it sounds amazing! I always have a hard time getting nail color to stay on my nails more then 2-3 days.. but I'm going to give it a shot!

What colors do you like and what do you think about "seasonal" nail polish?

Target Beauty Bag

So...I'm a BIG believer in trying new beauty products before you buy them, and I just so happened to see where Target was offering a FREE, yes, FREE beauty bag to anybody that wanted one.  Well, given the fact that i'm a BIG fan of freebies, and coupon deals, I signed up.  So, after a long month or so of waiting, it came in the mail yesterday.  Here's what was in there..

Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelette's evening soothe
Lo'Real Youth Code Day/Night Cream
Aveeno Daily Lotion
Burt's Bees Radiance SPF15 Daily Lotion
...and maybe a few other things I can't remember.  I opened it quit a few days ago.  

So far here is my review on the items........ I have mixed emotions about the Pond's Wet Cleansing Wipes...while they do clean off even the toughest eye makeup, i'm not crazy about them for cleansing, and the smell is just plain gagging.  The Aveeno lotion was very sticky and I did not like the way it felt on your skin. Those are the only two I have reviewed thus far. Will keep you posted on the other's that were included :)  Leave me comments on what you think about these, and if you have used any that I haven't tried yet what you feel about them as well.  

Happy Friday everyone! :)
