My experience with Great Lengths Hair Extensions!

Thursday, July 31, 2014
I never pictured myself as someone that would get hair extensions. It just never seemed like something that would fit my lifestyle. But temptation got the best of me. I have worked in a salon for over six years now and have seen countless amount of clients come in with short hair and leave with gorgeous long locks. I always said I was just going to grow my hair out ( which I have been doing for two years now-from a pixie to my now shoulder length bob. ) It was just taking so long! I finally gave in and decided to order my great lengths. 

I decided to go with 4 bundles of 10inch extensions because I wanted them to look very natural. I wasn't going for Rapunzel, just enough length to look and feel longer without looking too disconnected from my actual hair length. I also ordered the darkest color that they make which I think was called 1b. 
This is my hair before-shoulder length, grown out layers- nothing very exciting. 
And this is after...a few months into having them in.

And side-by-side selfies.


























I'll be honest...at first, I hated them. It was so strange seeing myself with long hair. Also, they hurt. ALOT. For just about the entire first week I had headaches and my scalp was very sensitive. I don't think this is normal for everyone. If you have longer hair or have had longer hair more recently, then I don't think you will have this problem. My scalp was just no where near ready for the weight o the extensions-which isn't much by the way. They don't feel heavy-just different. 
Shampooing for the first few times was weird. It was hard to figure out exactly how to get your scalp clean without pulling the extensions too hard. After a few times you don't even notice a difference. 
These extensions are put in with a cold fusion keratin bond which acts just like your hair, meaning the bond will expand when wet and shrink back down when dry which means they won't damage your hair. But the downside to that is that you must dry your hair pretty much immediately after washing so that the bond will shrink back and the extensions won't slide down the hair shaft. For someone that has had short hair for a very long time now-that's a lot of work. 
After the initial pain and getting used to the blowdrying, the maintenance is very minimal. You must THOROUGHLY brush your hair at least 2 times a day (3 is recommended) to avoid matting. 

Now that I am used to having them and used to seeing myself with longer hair, i can really say they've grown on me. No more pain and they feel so natural. I'm sad to say that I will only have them in for another month-you can keep them up to 6 months, if you take really good care of them. I know I will be ready for a change. 
Ive already been caught browsing for shorter haircuts on Pinterest.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel

Sunday, July 27, 2014
While browsing at my local drugstore I saw this new product by Sally Hansen and immediately knew that I would be trying it. I originally purchased the color "Short Cir-Cute" which is the orange-ish golden color. It's not a terrible color but I knew immediately that I would not be able to handle wearing it for 14 days, it's just not me. As for the polish itself, I had to use three coats to get it opaque-it was quite streaky even with two coats.
On my second attempt with this I picked the color "Wine Stock" which is a deep red. Much more my style. It applied very similar to the first, very streaky. Both colors also seemed a little bumpy as well. Thank goodness for the top coat which was able to smooth everything out. I am no nail polish newb and I found these fairly difficult in application. 

The top coat on the other hand wasn't so bad. It reminds me Seche Vite Top Coat. Very shiny and goes on smoothly. 
The first picture is right after I applied, the second is after one week, and the third is today-one day shy of being two weeks exactly. I feel like this polish held up perfectly the first week. From the end of week one throughout the second week it completely destroyed. 
Over all thoughts: It lasted longer than I thought it would, but it is not a 14 day wear polish like it claims. I would not say it is a replacement for Shellac. The colors I tried were streaky-but that's not to say that all of them are. 
If you have issues with polish even lasting a week then you may want to give these a try.

New Beauty Test Tube

Thursday, July 24, 2014
If you've never heard of the New Beauty Test Tube it's a subscription that is $29.95 six times a year. With the subscription price you receive a tube full of goodies as well as the New Beauty magazine which is a $10 value all on its own. Most of the time they also send a small travel pouch full of things to try as well. After being a part of this subscription for over two years now I can say that most of the products you will receive are skin care related, some hair care, and very few make up products.

This months tube was lacking in my opinion. There are quite a few full size items but I'm not really impressed with the line up. Also, the box this month did not include the small travel bag with extras which I have received for last 5 or 6 six with out fail. 

Here are the products included in this months box:
La Roche-Posay Mela-D Deep Cleansing Brightening Foaming Cleanser 4.2oz $24.99
The size received in the box is .5oz which is a pretty decent sample size. This is a cleanser to help clear the completion and even out the skin tone. 

Dove Advanced Hair Series - Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner 
I'm very finicky over hair care and just will not use drugstore shampoo and conditioner. 

Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick in color  $20.00(FULL SIZE)
I am not a fan of gloss at all. The color seems pretty but it will never be used I'm sure. Luckily I have friends to pass it on to.

Revlon Age Defying Wrinkle Remedy Line Filler .4oz $13.00(FULL SIZE)
I feel like i received this product at least 3 times before. Over it.

Strivectin-EV Get Even Brightening Serum 1.7oz $89.00
I will be trying this one for sure. They claim that this will lighten dark spots within two weeks. It is also paraben-free and suitable for all skin types. This will help brighten up even the dullest complexion for more youthful looking radiant skin.

Lumene Time Freeze Anti-Age Color Correcting Cream 1.0oz $14.99(FULL SIZE)
The worst part of this is that I received color Medium and in no way am I medium so basically it is unusable for me. 

Biosilk Color Therapy Lock and Protect 5.64oz $12.50(FULL SIZE)
I will be giving this a try. It's a leave-in that helps seal the cuticle and hydrates along with adding shine.

If you are a major skin care junkie, then this is definitely the box for you. But if you are looking for more makeup then you may want to try on of the other many box subscriptions that are out there.

Blah! | L'Oreal Pro-Keratin Refill Shampoo & Conditioner

Sunday, July 20, 2014
I am normally a huge fan of anything L'Oreal Professional, unfortunately this is NOT one of them. L'Oreal claims the Pro-Keratin Refill range rebuilds lost keratin in the hair to reconstruct and reinforce weak, fragile hair. While I don't consider my hair weak or fragile-who's hair doesn't need a little more strength? 

I felt like these products left my hair feeling oily right after washing. I don't know if its because it's meant for more of a damaged hair or what but my hair just never felt clean when using this. The shampoo is really creamy so you have to use a lot of product for the shampoo to lather. The conditioner seems almost diluted and its not very hydrating. It smells really nice but besides that there's not much more that I really like about it.

I purchased the small bottle of shampoo and the conditioner pictured above at $24.00 each. Which is pretty high for something I didn't like. I'm all for paying money for good quality products but unfortunately this did not make the cut.  I've completely run out of the conditioner and am still using the shampoo because I am a stickler for not wasting expensive products. The only way I will make it through the bottle is usually it as a first of two shampoos for exceptionally dirty hair days.

Shampoo's and conditioners I do like from L'Oreal include Intense Repair, Absolute Repair, and Volumetry.

Lush Haul!

Sunday, July 13, 2014
I recently took a trip to Lush and picked a few things to try. I know Lush is all over the YouTube world, and to be honest it's what sparked my interest in the brand. I've been to the store and browsed a couple of times only to pick up a lip scrub. Which to be honest, wasn't the best. But with high hopes I thought I'd go ahead and give them another try.

I haven't had a chance to try anything except "Mask of Magnaminty." AND I LOVED IT. It is a face and back mask packed full of peppermint, kaolin, and scrubby adzuki beans for deeply cleansed skin. It reminded me of the Glam Glow mask in texture, where it has bits pieces of something in it. It was super minty and sort of tingled when i put it on which is nice in a face mask. I left it on for about 8 minutes and my skin was left feeling soft and smooth. 

I've heard nothing but amazing reviews on the "Big" shampoo and I'm extremely excited to try it. The package says that it will bring your tresses back to life with a body-building sea salt shampoo for incredible volume, softness and major oomph for your hair. It has a really nice smell and I love that it has texture. I can only assume that it is going to feel amazing on the scalp.

This is one of their new products that just launched, and oh my goodness "African Paradise" smells like heaven. It's sweet without being too sweet-you have to go smell it for your self. It is a body conditioner with softening moringa oil, fresh brightening mango juice and soothing aloe vera combine for beautifully moisturized skin. While I was in store, the sales associate did a scrub on my hand and applied this body conditioner. It felt so nice I couldn't resist. I've never had a love for applying lotion. I hate the sticky feeling of it on the skin and just the general task of doing it. With this one, you apply it in the shower and rinse it off. Sounds right up my alley.

I'm always on the hunt for a good body scrub, and "Ocean Salt" is extremely popular. It is a scrub for face and body made up of coarse and fine sea salt with organic lime juice to brighten and avocado butter to soften. 

Last but not least, I had to try the dry shampoo. "No Drought" comes in a pop-top bottle, which you use to puff directly onto the scalp. It smells like grapefruit and lime, which is a big plus for dirty hair. I am nervous that you will be able to see the gray shadow that most powder dry shampoos leave-but I have high hopes.



Have you used any of these products?
Is there anything else I should try for Lush?

My Favorite Dry Shampoos.

Thursday, July 10, 2014
All hail the dry shampoo. I've tried so many in my time and a lot of them aren't so great. I think I have finally come across a few worth sharing.

ORIBE DRY TEXTURIZING SPRAY
I think most people that use dry shampoo's has heard of this one. It's probably my favorite out of them all. It absorbs all the oil and adds amazing texture and volume. Plus it smells amazing like all of the other Oribe products do, and can we take a minute to ogle over the packaging-it's beautiful. It also is a clear spray, so it doesn't looking chalky on the hair. As someone with black hair that is by far the most annoying thing about most dry shampoos. I'm not ready for gray hair and I surely don't want a product that makes it look that way. 
There are a couple of cons though, you do have to reapply it throughout the day in order to control all of the oil, but conveniently they make a travel size that will do the job. Also, it is quite pricey coming in at $42 for the regular size and $21.50 for the travel size. 

L'OREAL FRESH DUST
I've gone through at least 10 bottles of this stuff, it's that great. It controls all oil all day long. No need to reapply. It doesn't add texture like the Oribe one does and sometimes I find that as a benefit. It has a very baby powdery smell, which personally I like, but may not be for everyone. It's priced very reasonably for professional hair care products, it's under $20 at most places.

SEBASTIAN DRY CLEAN ONLY
This is the newest to my ever growing hair care stash and I'm so happy to say that it was a great purchase. Like the L'Oreal one is also has a powdery smell, definitely not as strong of a smell though.  It does unfortunately leave a bit of a white cast when you first spray it, but easily disappears with a few swipes of a brush. It adds a very similar texture to the Orbie's Dry Texturizing. I would for sure consider this a dupe for it and it's way cheaper at $20 at most retailers. 



Have you tried any of these? 
Are there any other amazing dry shampoos that I should try?

Orange is the New Black.

Sunday, July 6, 2014

I just finished season 2 and wow. I'm really sad it has to end-and that we all will be waiting until next year to continue the amazingness that is this show. With that said, I must share my thoughts. I'll try not to give anything away, but if you're not caught up - beware. 

I knew from season one that I was hooked. I remember finishing it in maybe two days. Season two, on the other hand, started out a little slow for me. With the first two episodes I wasn't really impressed. Maybe even a little let down-based on the love I had for season one. But I kept watching because I knew the potential, and I am so glad that I did.

This show is so different than anything else available right now and it really pushes the limit on what most people find comfortable tv. But that's what makes it so good. 

There is a lot more character development in season two. I loved getting to know the other character's stories, whereas season one rightfully focused more on Piper's story. While she isn't necessarily my favorite character on the show, I really enjoyed Morello's story. 



Have you watched season 2 yet?
Which character did you like getting to know best?

Nude Nail Appreciation.

Thursday, July 3, 2014
I know this is nothing new but it's something pretty new for me. I've always been more of a fan of darker or bolder nail colors but for some reason lately, I've really been drawn to nudes. 

I'm extremely fair skinned and always thought nude nail polish and even lipstick looked weird on me. But now I can honestly say it's grown on me over the last year or so in both departments. I'm still on the fence about pinky nudes- but beige/brown/grey nudes are right up my alley. Below you'll see Essie's Sand Tropez with two coats of polish and Revlon Colorstay Top Coat(which is an old favorite). I've used Sand Tropez a million times but mainly as an accent color or some sort of nail art, but rarely as an all over color. It's great. Opaque and flattering. I really do think anyone could pull this color off. It's different enough from my skin tone to be noticeable without washing me out. Or as a lot of lighter colors do, it doesn't pull out the yellow in my skin making me look like a Simpson character. It doesn't really come off that way in the photo, but I promise in real life it doesn't. 
btw, the phone case is from Brandy Melville.

Summer Clothing Wish List.

Sunday, June 29, 2014

Now that it's summer I really want to add a few new pieces to my closet. Here are a few things Im lusting after.

I'm totally falling in love with the birkenstock trend, and these beauties are first on my list. I've tried them on and the fit like a glove because of the way they are shaped, and seem like they would be so comfortable.

Kimono love all the way. I've already purchased two-but am definitely seeking more.

I've never been a shorts person, even with Texas heat. Dresses on the other hand are a staple.

TopShop leggings are wonderful and I could really use a few more pairs. Ankle-length this time.

This skirt is perfect. Not too short. Flattering shape. Need.


As you can see, I'm not much into color-but I think I've at least found what style I like.
I hope you see something you would like for summer too.

New Tarte Blush | Captivating

Sunday, June 22, 2014


Blush, for me, is an everyday necessity. I just don't feel like myself without it. It brightens your complexion making you look healthier and more lively. I'm a huge fan of the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour blushes. I cannot begin to explain how much I love these products. They have the best pigmentation and stay on all day. I usually lean more towards brighter pink blushes but the newest shade is a much more natural coral-y color. Even though it feels unusual for me, I am really loving the outcome. It's the perfect summer time shade.

To apply, I use a large fluffy powder brush straight to the apples of my cheeks and blend out and upward.

The other colors I own are natural beauty, frisky, flush, glisten, and splendor.

The Lipstick Addict Tag

Thursday, June 19, 2014

Favorite Balm/Treatment?
EOS medicated lip balm in tangerine. I use this as my year round lip balm. The best thing about it
Best eye-catching red?
Sephora Cream Lip Stain- 01 
This is a great matte lip stain. It last all day and dries so quickly. The only down fall of this product is that it comes in the form of a lip gloss with a standard sponge tip applicator which makes it very difficult to apply evenly 
Best luxury & best drugstore?
Nars-Red Square & Rimmel Lasting Finish-107
Best MAC lipstick?
Ruby Woo.
The most disappointing?
my most disappointing lipstick is Honey Love by MAC. I love the color-it's my go-to nude, but I hate the formula. They claim it is matte but it by no means goes on matte. Its creamy but almost too creamy. It creases so badly and doesn't last very long at all. 
Liner-yes or no?
Absolutely, yes. On most occasions at least. 
Best gloss?
Never will I ever wear lip gloss. I just can't.
Something extra!
Fresh Sugar Lip Polish. This is the best lip scrub I have ever tried. It's just the right amount of exfoliation with the perfect amount of moisture.

Summer Nail Polishes

Thursday, June 12, 2014
 Summer is just around the corner and everyone is desiring the perfect nail color. I have an ever growing nail polish collection and every season I still have the few colors that I always go back to, these are no exception. While these polishes aren't anything new-they are the perfect colors to kick start summer.


First off, we have Lux by Marc Jacobs. It is the perfect summer yellow. It goes on completely opaque with two to three coats and doesn't dry streaky. I usually am not able to wear yellow toned colors because I'm very yellow toned naturally and it always makes my skin look strange. I've found an exception to the rules.


The next one is an oldie but a goodie. I've been in love with this color for years now. Thank God OPI hasn't discontinued it as they are oh so known to do. This is A Grape Fit! It's a bright-but not neon purple. You can easily achieve a perfect appearance in one coat of this polish. It's what I'd like to think of a more sophisticated bright purple. 


Oh, Essie. I love Essie polishes. I prefer them over any brand. This is Fifth Avenue. I am partial to anything red-especially when it's orangey red. There is no need for a second coat of this polish, it's so opaque. It goes on so smooth and flawless and looks great on everyone.


No Room for the Blues is a slightly pastel but still bright enough for summer perfect blue. Like the others, it goes on really well and doesn't necessarily need a second coat. 

These are with two coats of polish and no top coat. So as you can see the colors are flawless and all go on so well. I will for sure be wearing all of these this summer and I hope you will too.

Bumble and bumble. | Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Line

Sunday, June 8, 2014

Bumble&bumble just released their newest line: Hairdresser's Invisible Oil.  The line offers a shampoo, conditioner, primer, and an oil. They claim the line will soften, silken, tame, de-frizz, detangle, and protect. The entire line is infused with six different oils. Grapeseed Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Argan Oil, and Coconut Oil.

The shampoo is lightweight and leaves the hair feeling very clean. It is sulfate free so it's perfect the keratin and brazilian treatment users. I found that it doesn't leave the hair very soft after just the shampoo- conditioner is definitely needed. It has a nice, light smell. Unlike most sulfate free shampoos this one has no problem with sudsing up which I really prefer.

The conditioner is almost a whipped consistency- its's thick without being heavy or too creamy. It leaves the hair feeling soft but not being weighed down. A little goes a long way.

The primer is a pre-styler that helps detangle, de-frizz, tame flyaways. It also provides protection from heat-styling and UV damage and breakage. Apply this to damp or dry hair before styling. It's perfect for someone with dry, coarse or brittle hair.

The final product in the line is the oil (which has been around for a while now) which you can apply wet or dry sparingly. It helps tame flyaways and add softness and shine to your style. Even for someone who is anti-hair oil, like myself, this oil wasn't heavy and didn't leave me feeling like a grease ball. The only con for me personally was that it does leave your hands feeling quite oily.

The first time I tried these products I used nothing out side of this line and my hair was left feeling soft and smooth. It was free from frizz and even felt nice after flat ironing.
So all in all this is the perfect product family for someone who is looking for smooth, shiny, frizz-free hair but still wanting a lightweight product.

See you Thursday!

Skin Care
This is an amazing toner for skin that tends to have redness. It cleanses the skin without being abrasive. It has a very subtle smell and the smallest amount leaves you with wonderful results.
 It's a serum that works like a glycolic peel with the advantages of being able to use it daily as well as it being hydrating. It helps with fine lines and general tightening of the skin. It's perfect for dry skin that tends to breakout. it helps rid the skin of the dry patches that tend to clog pores and cause breakouts. 
This foundation is amazing! It's full coverage without feeling cakey. It has a dewy finish but can easily be mattified with a setting powder. It covers everything and gives the skin a natural glow. 
Perfect for the days where you want minimal makeup but still feel the need for an even complexion. SPF 20 gives you a nice level of sun protection and it feels weightless on the skin.
This stuff covers ANYTHING! It doesn't accentuate dryness and you can use it anywhere on your face without it setting weird throughout the day. 
Super long lasting and great matte finish. It's so much smoother than the Bobbi Brown gel liner which is what I was using before this. Doesn't flake off during the day. 
So, so good. Matte, so it lasts for hours but without being drying on the lips. Color payoff is outstanding. They have a great color selection to choose from as well.
so easy to use! it's very blendable and looks very natural. I use it with an angled brush to create the perfect look for me.

Random
Comparable to sechevite. Super glossy finish and very quick drying. 
Wide enough opening to fit any eye. Curls with ease! 



Check back Sunday for my next update!

Most Used Palette: Urban Decay Naked Basics

Sunday, June 1, 2014
Almost everyone I know has this palette- and for good reason. The packaging is sturdy with a smooth, matte finish and has a great mirror within along with six eye shadows - one shimmer and five matte.The quality of Urban Decay's eye shadow is outstanding. Every color I've tried is very pigmented and has good lasting power. This palette is so simplistic and perfect for everyday use.  
Venus is a very light, almost white, champagne color that is great as an inner eye hi light or to hi light under the eyebrow.

Foxy is a yellow toned matte shade that I love to use all over the lid on days that I don't want color but need to keep my eyeliner from creasing. It also is perfect for blending out everything.

W.O.S. is a pink toned matte color that gives the look a unique brightness that is perfect for those days that your eyes look tired. 

Naked 2 is basically the best all over the lid color I have ever used. The color is just dark enough to warm up the eye area but still leave everything looking very light. You can't tell in the picture but I'm sure I'll be hitting pan any day with that shade. 

Faint is the perfect matte dark brown eyeshadow. Its great for creating a more natural smokey eye. I also use it often for adding depth just below the bottom lashes.

And last but not least, Crave is a matte black eyeshadow. It's so easy to blend and it's very pigmented. Works great as an eyeliner.

Soap&Glory: The Righteous Butter

Thursday, May 22, 2014
Soap&Glory The Righteous Butter is a thick, extremely hydrating body butter. It is made of shea butter, aloe vera, rose hip seed oil, and vitamin E. Soap & Glory's signature Pink fragrance is made up of bergamot, mandarin, rose, jasmine, peach, strawberry, oak moss, and amber with woody and warm vanilla notes.


I personally have really dry, really sensitive skin-especially after shaving. This stuff works miracles. It's so hydrating without leaving the skin feeling greasy or sticky. The scent is non-offensive, even to my very particular boyfriend. I am usually very lazy when it comes to moisturizing but because this makes such a huge difference in my skin's condition I want to apply it all the time.


How much: 1.7oz for $6.00 or 10.1oz for $22.00
