Tresseme Dry Shampoo

There are days I do NOT want to wash my hair, blow dry it, then flat iron it, so I look to dry shampoos to spray onto my hair, and go. Tresemme has come out with a new dry shampoo.

How it works:
  • Formulated with Mineral Clay to soak up excess oil and impurities to leave hair looking refreshed 
  • Contains Citrus Extracts to neutralize odor and enhance a clean feeling
  • Volumizes oily/straight hair that becomes limp in between shampoos, giving hair added body and bounce. 
  • Perfect for color-treated hair, it reduces the need to wash as frequently
My review: I used it the other day and the smell is better than other dry shampoos I've used in the past like Batiste Dry Shampoo from Sally's (which to me smelled more like chemicals than anything). Tresemme dry shampoo has a citrus smell which I liked. However, being as it has Mineral Clay in the ingredients, I swear I could feel the clay buildup on my hair. My hair felt so "waxy". Also, it seemed like I had dandruff! Gross. The product kept flaking in my hair, not attractive AT ALL! In addition, on my jet black hair, it left the powder residue on it, so it turned my hair grey.

I wanted to like this product being as I do like other Tresemme products, however, in all honesty, I am not a fan of this.

127 Hours

I'm not a huge movie goer but this movie looks good



James Franco plays Aron Ralston, the hiker who in 2003 was trapped for four days under a boulder and had to amputate his own arm with a dull knife to survive. If that made your stomach turn, you're not the only one; it's being reported that at early viewings of the movie, between 13-16 people have fainted from watching it. Even so, I want to go see it.

Maybeline Falsies Mascara


I finally decided to purchase the Falsies mascara (I mean the commercial sold me), so when I first took the wand out of the mascara, I thought it was going to break on me. I'm still unsure about the wand, it freaks me out and I've been using the mascara for a few weeks now; the wand seems so flimsy to me but I kept on using it. All in all, the product did in fact make my eyelashes longer than they normally are. However did I feel that my eyes were as dramatic as they normally are when I do wear false eyelashes? Not in the least. Do I recommend this product? Sure, just realize that you won't be seeing your lashes all hella long and "false" looking. I've stalked a few other websites and they all seem to love the product and their eyelashes look amazing! Maybe I did mine wrong. LOL.

Before - Don't be laughing at my eyebrows that need waxing! eek! 


After - Yes, the product clumped for me.... don't know what I did wrong. Ha! But as you can see, my lashes are longer than without the mascara. 


E.L.F Forever!


I think I am slowly becoming obsessed with E.L.F cosmetics. I've noticed that I'm ordering from them like twice a month. LOL. I received my newest order and I'm super excited to share with you all my goodies!

1. Mineral Face Primer - $6 - Developed to combat against excess oil, flaky dryness, enlarged pores, and fine lines. I've used it for a few days now and I absolutely LOVE it!

2. Studio Cream Eyeliner in Purple w/ wand - $3- haven't used it yet.... planning on using it tomorrow. I will keep you posted on what I think about it.

3. Mineral Blush in Peachy - $5 - It creates a subtle color of definition that added radiance and a nice glow. Again, I LOVED this product.

4. Mineral Eyeshadow in Celebrity - $3 - I previously did a post on another color Caffeinated, so I needed another color to go with that, and that's where Celebrity comes in. There are a few more colors I plan on ordering this week (I told you, I'm obsessed)

5. Zit Zapper (you heard me right) - $1 - Zaps zits away with the unique blend of salicylic acid, tree tea oil, witch hazel and camphor. The special clear formula helps ti fight and prevent acne, reduce redness and swelling, minimize poor size and clear skin. Thankfully I haven't had a breakout, but you know that time of the month is coming so I'm sure I'll be needing this.

6. Eye Brightener - $3 -Perks up those tired eyes and diminishes the appearance of dark shadows. Infused with Chamomile, Greet Tea, Mulberry and Vitamins C & E to nourish, tighten and refresh! Great for using as an eyeshadow base or around the nose, lips, and anywhere you want to brighten and revitalize.

7. Mineral Lipstick in Runaway Pink - $5 - Exotic oils and natural waxes, vitamins, and plant extracts creates the perfect moisturizing formula. This color reminds me of MAC's "Angel" color....perhaps a little lighter, but very similar.

*All their mineral makeup is 100% mineral bases with no parabens, no preservatives, and no chemical dyes.

Scott Vincent Borba (you know Borba skincare at places like Sephora?) is the co-founder of E.L.F cosmetics!

Kiss The Ring

Ron Artest must be seriously insane! Dude has worked for 11 years to get an NBA championship ring, which he finally won last season with the Lakers. But now, Artest is auctioning off his championship ring for charity. He is either really a saint, or he's fricken insane! Artest will begin auctioning off the ring Oct. 27th, when fans can purchase a minimum of five raffle tickets for $2 each through Artest's website. The proceed will benefit Xcel University, a charity Artest supports, with funds directed towards two as-yet-determined mental health causes. One lucky fan on Christmas will then keep Artest's 2010 championship ring. 


Happy Halloween!!!

My girl and I decided to be Jwoww and Snook for Halloween at work. I know, I know, not very original or exciting, but it was actually fun, even though some people had no clue as to who I was. LOL.

Well that didn't last long! Next time ladies, triple check the company before you do business with them!
