Shellac Nail Polish

If you haven't heard of Shellac Nail Polish yet, you will!  This stuff is AMAZING.  It lasts for a minimum of 2 weeks with NO CHIPPING!  If you have issues with your nails breaking, problem solved!  I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this product.  I think it's a nice alternative to acrylic nails which destroy your nail and harbor bacteria.  Look how pretty my nails are!
Fun Facts about Shellac Nail Polish:
It goes on like polish
Wears like a Gel
Hypoallergenic
Lasts 14 Days (minimum)
Removes in minutes

Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque Review

When I first purchased this product, I was a bit angry at ULTA for false advertising on the price.  Whoever worked there put these hair treatments in the wrong section on the shelf showing that it cost $12 instead of the actual price of $28!!  Imagine my shock at the checkout counter...quite a big difference.  However, after hearing so many positive things about this hair treatment, I decided to give it a shot anyway.  If it didn't work, I could alwasy return it, right?  I followed the instructions exactly as described on the packaging.  I combed through my damp hair, let it sit for 7-10 minutes and then rinsed the product out.  I decided to let my hair dry naturally even though my hair is extremely wavy and frizzy.  WOW!  My frizz was GONE!  My hair was so beautiful and silky looking (although still extremely wavy).  I straightened it the next day before work and my hair looked better than it has in years.  It is so soft too.  This is only after ONE use.  I frequently damage my hair with heat styling products and hair color.  It is as if this product has erased all those years of damage in just 7 minutes!  I received so many compliments about my hair at work too so I know it made a significant difference in my hair's appearance.  This product is going to be a staple in my hair care routine for years to come.  I am excited to try the other products from this line as well and will definitely keep you all posted on the outcome of them!

You can purchase these products at Ulta

Brown is the new Blonde

Ok, so I absolutely LOVE winter months!  I love being snuggly in sweaters, hats, mittens and tall boots.  As most people in my life know, I tend to stick to dark colors in my clothing choices throughout the year...ie. BLACK everything.  During the winter I really like wearing a lot of browns, creams, teals, greys...I know, not too adventurous for the average person but it's a big change for me. :)
I also love, love, LOVE changing my hair color.  My blonde highlights always start looking kind of dingy during the winter...maybe because they are receiving less sunlight...I'm not really sure.  I use the purple shampoo regularly but it doesn't seem to do a bit of good for me during the winter months.  SO, I like to go a little darker when it gets colder outside.  Wanting to save $$$ as it is so close to the Holidays, I decided to take a leap and buy a hair color in a box from CVS.


I WAS SO SCARED.


I settled on the L'oreal Paris - Feria Multi-facited shimmering hair color in #40 Deeply Brown Espresso.  It was one of the only few boxes that guaranteed that my already highlighted blonde hair would turn brown.  Every other box was only showing examples of how my hair would look with the color on it if I was already a brunette.  That would have been a little too risky for me...


To my complete surprise and delight, my hair looked EXACTLY as the box said it would!  I am so happy and couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.  My hair looks and feels so much healthier too.  I have received so many compliments on my hair, I am definitely going to be using this color again in the future.


So, for all you girls who are thinking about taking the plunge and dramatically changing your hair, I HIGHLY recommend this product line.  Plus, you can't beat $8-$9 A BOX!!!
