Hair Obsession. :) Macademia Natural Oil

So for the longest time,

probably about 10 years now, I have obsessed with my hair.

I have natural blonde hair, but I did change it up a bit.

I've bleached it to make it lighter.

Got tired of it and dyed it chocolate brown

and I've even had it bright candy red.

With all of that chemical in my hair, I have done some serious damage.

I try to get my hair trimmed on a regular basis, but since I don't like getting my hair cut,

I usually avoid it the best I can.

I use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

and on a regular basis, I use a deep conditioner.

I let it sit in my hair for about an hour and then rinse it out.

And I always use some kind of leave-in conditioner
or hair oil.
For a while I was using a bottle of argan oil and while I liked it a lot
by the time it was empty and I needed to buy a new one
I decided to look for a new one.

And I found the Macademia™ Natural Oil products
and  I have been obsessed with them.

I only have the travel sizes because I wanted to make sure they worked
and I will DEFINITELY be buying more when these run out.

This is my ultimate favorite!
It works unbelievably well, especially when my hair was being bleached
all the time.
From the very first time I used to it until now, my hair has felt so much better.
This is what I use when I don't plan on using heat on my hair and I love it so much.
My hair never feels oily after I use it and my hair now always feel super soft.
I even like the smell too.
At first, I thought it smelled a little odd, but it has grown on me.
I would recommend this to anyone whose hair needs moisture.

 While I don't love this as much as the oil, this still works amazing!
I use it when I am going to blow dry my hair and when I know that I am going to be curling
or straightening my hair at some point during the day.
It leaves my hair so soft and even gives it a little bit of texture
which I love when I'm doing my hair.
I feel like my hair styles better when it has texture
and it looks a little bit messier.

I love these products so much
and I can't wait to try the other ones
and buy full sized bottles of them.

Body obsession!!! Aveeno Edition

I, like most girls, have tried tons of different products

promising moisture and vitality to our skin.

And while I'm only 22 and am fortunate to have very few skin problems

(I have oily skin that breaks out occasionally and skin discoloration)

I still want to protect my skin for the future

to prevent damage.

I think that prevention at a young age is a great way to help have healthier skin in the future.

Anyway, I have used many different types of lotions and creams

but none of them ever seemed to work that well for my skin.

Until one day I was watching random beauty videos on YouTube.com

when I ran across one where the lady (I can't remember who it was)

was raving about the Aveeno® Positively Radiant® Night Cream.

She seemed so excited about how well it worked, that I decided I would try it myself.

I loved it!

I then decided to try the daily moisturizers and I fell in love with them too.

I use the Positively Radiant® Daily Moisturizing face lotion in the morning

after washing my face.

I use about two pumps and it covers my whole face and down my neck.

I love that it easily and quickly absorbs into my skin and instantly

gives my a skin a glow. 

My skin has become so much softer and smoother

and looks more healthy every time I use it.

I also love that it has SPF 30 in it

It is healing and protecting my skin at the same time.

Then at night I use the Positively Radiant® Intensive Night Cream with vitamin B3.

I remove all of my makeup with a makeup removing lotion and then gently wash my face.

Most nights I use a cream wash and then just a couple of times a week (about 3) 

I will use a face scrub to get the extra skin off.

The night cream is just as wonderful as the daily face lotion.

It does take a lot longer to absorb, 

but after the first night that I used it, I immediately fell in love with it.

I woke up and my skin was already so much softer and smoother.

Over the time that I have been using it, 

I have noticed that my face has a natural glow to it

even without anything on my face.

Finally, I use the regular daily lotion for the rest of my body in the morning when i wake up.

I love that it doesn't have a fragrance, just so that I don't have to match my perfume to it.

I am able to put whatever perfume or body spray I want to fit my mood.

I also love how my skin has changed since I started using it.

I am almost through my second bottle and I know I will

be going through so many more of them.

My skin's texture is so much smoother and I have noticed

that my skin never dries out and I live in southern California 

where its really hot and dry in the summer.

I can't wait to see what the long term effects of using them are going to be, 

right now I'm loving them.

:)

For the love of shoes. (Dr.Scholl's for Her)

So I love shoes.

Maybe not any more than any other female,

but definitely more than any one I know.

Seriously though,

I own 22 pairs of flip flops...

FLIP FLOPS?!?!

Not to mention heels.

They are my favorite. 

The only problem is that they tend to hurt my feet.

No one is going to enjoy you walking around looking like a baby giraffe.

Recently, I received the Something Blue VoxBox from Influenster.

And of all the things that I have wanted to try for a long time

was the gel inserts for heels.

And they were wonderful enough to send me a pair.

These are my lifesaver!

I was able to walk around in my favorite pair of high heels

and feel totally comfortable.

They fit so well in my shoes

and they even managed to stick.

I'm going to get another pair just to put in a couple of other pairs of heels.

That is how much I love them.

They make wearing heels so much more enjoyable.

:)

Super amazing Q-tips®!!!

Who doesn't love Q-Tips®?

They are literally the most useful item ever!

I have always loved them.

used and abused them to no end.

They are great for whatever you need them for.

If you need to fix your makeup,

just dip them in some makeup remover and go on with your day.

Need to clean the nail polish from your skin,

Easily helps taking it off without ruining your nails.

Lately, I have been using the Precision Tips™

and I have been OBSESSED with them.

They make it even easier to perfect my makeup.

They are so helpful that I use several a day and I am already almost through the

first of the two packs that Influenster graciously sent me.

I will definitely be buying more of them.

I love that they are pointed. 

I can clean my water lines out

and I can smudge my eyeliner about 10 times quicker.

They can get into smaller spaces and 

into little corners that the original ones can't. 

They are wonderful

and I would definitely recommend them.

First Impression: Luster Now! Toothpaste

One of the things in my Voxbox that I was so excited to try was the toothpaste.

I know it sounds weird, but I am oddly obsessed with toothpaste.

So when I opened the box, I was immediately attracted to it.

 When I first opened the package, my initial thought was that it was a good sized container of 

the product for me to try.

I liked it because I don't think that a small tube would be able to really show how well the 

product would work.

According to the red box that this came in, it claims that you will see

"Whiter teeth after one brushing"

Which also makes me excited, I love having white teeth and I work hard at getting them white.

I have tried PLENTY of other types of teeth whitening products, 

so I'm excited to see how well this works over the course of the next few weeks.

                                                                                                 

So when I first opened the toothpaste, it was blue.

I mean very blue.

But I have used blue toothpaste before and didn't really think it would be any different 

but I was wrong.

It doesn't turn into a white foam like the other ones do,

this one stays blue.

It kind of looked like I was brushing my teeth with a blue juice.

So that kind of weirded me out, but more importantly,

I wanted to see if its claim was true.

Who wouldn't like whiter teeth after just brushing them once.

And I feel like they did get a little but whiter,

not overwhelmingly more white, but enough for me to notice.

Which makes me feel positive about the future with this product.

Hopefully it will continue working and by the end of the bottle

my teeth will be a lot whiter than they were when I started.

My first VoxBox. :)

So today, I am excited to say that I received my first ever package from Influenster.com!

If you haven't heard of them before, I definitely recommend them, its a great site to play around on.

I received the "Something Blue" VoxBox, which comes in this cute little box.

And these are the products that were sent to me.

2 pairs of Kiss "ever-ez" lashes in #1 and #3
2 containers of Q-tips "Precision Tips"

Luster Premiere White Luster Now! Instant Whitening Toothpaste

A packet of Urgent Rx Head Ache Relief To-Go Aspirin

I can't wait to try these products and do a review on what I think of them.
