Favorite Hair Sprays!

I HATE using hair sprays that make your hair feel crunchy, stiff, sticky, or anything except my natural soft smoothness.

 I have tried so many hair sprays, and here is what I have found to work the best for me!


~Aussie Sprunch Hair Spray~

I absolutely love this hair spray! It doesn't make your hair feel stiff or crunchy, but it has amazing hold. Even though it usually comes in a flexible hold, it will last your do all day!

~Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Hair Spray~

I love this product! I actually tried it because I had coupons, plus sales, which made it free. It advertises a "Sheer Mist" and it really is! It sprays the tiniest, finest spray I've ever seen. It like mists over your hair, leaving it perfectly UN crunchy! Love this to death! 

~Aussie MEGA Hair Spray (Flexible Hold)~

I love everything about this hair spray! Aussie has some really great hair sprays. This will make your hair look like Barbie's, but definitely not feel like it! We might all want our hair to look like her's, but in reality her's isn't very soft! This also makes your hair smell amazing, I get compliments on how my hair smells every time I use it! (Plus it's a great value sized can!)

NYX Glitter Cream Pallet- REVIEW









07- Royal Violets

I absolutely love these pallets! I have heard some bad reviews, but i honestly don't understand who couldn't love these! I paid $6.94, which isn't too bad seeing how long this will last you.

 The glitter is pretty pigmented, and stays put very well. If you set it correctly it will last all day (Or night!) through, and still look good. These have an amazing reflecting power! The light catches on these and they look amazing! They shimmer with gorgeousness. I love my pallet, just looking at it makes me happier!

 I would give this 9 out of 10 starts!

 The only negative thing about this product is that the glitter can be slightly difficult to apply before you get the hang of it, it doesn't always go on perfectly even. But it's very easy to fix, because before it sets it is very movable!

What Brush Are You Using?

I thought I would talk a little bit about hair brushes.

 Personally, I prefer to use Paddle Brushes. I own both synthetic and non synthetic brushes that are the paddle variety. I prefer them because I have long hair, and they don't tangle your hair. I have used so many brushes that tangle your hair when you're brushing it, and for me, I have never had a problem with a paddle brush tangling my hair. Ever!

 I would never go back to using any other kind of hair brush other than my paddle!

Aussie Catch The Wave + Leave In Conditioner Mousse: Review!


I struggle finding Mousse for my hair that I actually like. The other day I bought this Mousse from Aussie, it's the catch the wave "Mousse and Leave In Conditioner". This is so light! I hate it when mousse makes your hair feel crunchy or stiff, and this doesn't at all. Also, when you're putting it into your hair it doesn't make your hair OR HANDS feel sticky at all! Also, you can use tons of it and it will not make your hair stiff. I love this and it's the only mousse I will use. Plus it's super moisturizing!

Maybelline Dream Mousse Line Review







I would like to point out that at this point and time this is my absolute favorite line of cosmetics!
 I love the Dream Matte Mousse foundation, (I talk about it a little bit in my Spring Favorites 2011 video.) It says it leaves a Matte finish but I have found it to be quite dewy. The company markets this to girls with oily skin, however I have dry skin and I find this to be very protecting and moisturizing. It has amazing coverage but will not look cakey! It's so easy to apply too. Very smooth, and the colors are the best I've ever seen.

I have also tried the Dream Smooth Mousse, and the Dream Liquid Mousse and the results are about the exact same as I posted above. The Liquid Mousse is a tad bit thicker, so it's a bit more sticky. But once it is rubbed in it doesn't bother me at all because you can't feel it on at all!

 I love the blushes and bronzers also. The colors are gorgeous, and they are extremely build-able so anyone can wear any of the colors they have. They feel great on, and they have a slight shimmer to them also, which is pretty for summer. I just love this whole line! Use it everyday! I don't think I will ever stop using this product.

 Maybelline Dream Mousse line is the only line that has a foundation that matches my skin tone perfectly. All other companies foundation are always slightly the wrong color- but with this it fits my tone perfectly. They seem to have a more yellow base & tan base which is the major pigments in my skin. For some reason it's very hard for me to find make up that matches perfectly, but this was an amazing fit! Love it. 10 stars.

**The only products from the Dream Mousse line that I haven't tried would be:

~The Dream Mousse CONCEALER
~The Dream Mousse Eye Shadow
