BACK TO SCHOOL: Be you :)

August 28th, 2013
    
     So, the other day at school I heard some girls talking about how nervous they were about making new friends. Then I heard one girl say to the other girl 

McKayla: "Ashley, you can't be like you were last year! You can't be THERE like you were last year." 
Ashley: "I can't help it! That's just how I am!"
McKayla: "Well don't be how you are then!"

I couldn't believe I was hearing this!! McKayla was actually telling Ashley to be FAKE and to not be herself. WHO DOES THAT?! Then, if someone becomes friends with you and you start acting like yourself, they might not like you. They became friends with the fake you. Not the real you. I just thought this was a very dumb thing to say and I thought I'd share it with you :) Remember.. If someone wants you to be a certain way, they aren't worth you. As I like to say "If they can't handle you at your Amanda Bynes, they don't deserve you at your Beyonce" :) BE YOU!

 I decided since I've been behind on my posting, I'd post twice today! :)

I am no longer using this foundation as I got fed up and couldn't stand it anymore. Basically, 2 layers looks cake-y and 1 layer gives you 0 coverage. I had been putting on 2 layers until one day I looked in the mirror and it looked like I stuck my face in some tan-ish orange-y mud. Then I cut down and put on 1 layer. Nope. It does NOTHING. No coverage no color nothing. So basically, its useless unless you like the whole oompa loompa look. If that's what you go for, then buy this for sure! But since I don't like to look like I'm wearing an orange mask, I decided to stop using this. I am highly disappointed considering how much I spent on this ($11+ dollars for a low quality drug store foundation is too much for me) I have gone back to my Ulta powder foundation (Which is now too light for me.. Thanks Sun...) I'm looking at another foundation and I'll for sure do a First Impression when I get that! So overall, the point of this post it to tell you


                                   IT'S NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!

 I'm back!!
    Sorry about my sudden disappearance. I have been gone because I was out of town and didn't have good internet and didn't even open my computer because I was so busy.. But, I'm back and that's what matters! I'll be trying to do some back to school posts.. Maybe.

In this post, I will be comparing (And contrasting) The Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector and the TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray. I'll tell you a little bit about myself (Why I need/use it) Then tell you (In my opinion) Best uses then rate it.

ABOUT ME:

• I straighten my hair (usually) everyday in layers
• I also curl my hair occasionally..In layers of course
• I have thick hair
• I have color treated hair

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector
                 PROS:

• Smells very good!
• Sprays evenly
• Affordable

               CONS:

• NONE

This product is amazing! It smells so good! Very fruity :) And it works! My hair is noticeably less damaged after using this! I went in to get my hair done awhile ago (After using about 1 bottle of this) And my stylist even commented on how much less damaged my hair was! So obviously it does what it says.. Protects your hair from damage caused by heat (Straighteners, Curling Irons/Wands etc.)

RATING: 5/5

TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray
               PROS:

• Gives hair a natural shine
• Affordable
• Sprays evenly
• Can be put into wet or dry hair
• Comes with (2 FL. OZ) more product

            CONS:

• Smell

As I said in my post on this product, it smells (to me) like baby powder and I personally don't like that smell. Otherwise its an amazing product! I would recommend it!

RATING: 4.5/5

I hope this post helped someone out there! :)

First Impression: TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray

August 1st, 2013
       COMING SOON: 

• August Favorites
• Compare: Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector Straightening Mist VS. TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray
• First Impression: Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

PRICE: $4-$5 for 8 FL. OZ.
RATING: 4.5/5
PROS: Gives hair a natural looking shine, affordable, sprays evenly, works in wet or dry hair
CONS: Smell

     Since there is only one Con, I'll start out with that. Some of you might like the smell of baby powder, but to me, it gets kind of annoying. If you like the smell of baby powder, then this is the product for you. Anyways... I know a lot of my friends who straighten the life out of their hair have, use and love this product. I never felt a need to buy it, until I saw they came out with a Keratin Oil infused line. I thought on the commercial they said it helps tame frizz (I have issues with frizzy hair.. not major but I don't like it) So I decided to try it out. Luckily, it was only 4 or 5 dollars and you get 8 WHOLE OUNCES of product!! This may not sound like a lot to you, but my current heat protecting spray I only got 6 ounces. Anyways, after reading the bottle, I didn't see anything about anti frizz :( Luckily my shampoo and conditioner has Argan Oil in it which de-frizzes. So, it said to spray into damp hair which was perfect because I was taking a shower that night. After putting it in my hair, as it began to dry, I could already feel a difference.. MY HAIR WAS SO SOFT!! Then this morning, I straightened my hair using the spray and it worked perfectly!! Over all, this is a wonderful product that (So far) I have loved!! I would recommend this! I did take off half a star just because I personally don't care for the scent.
