MILK_SHAKE FOR HAIR?


During one of my appointments with my hairdresser, he urged me to buy a hair oil, because the ends of my hair had been severely damaged, due to the consistent (daily, oops!) use of the  straightening iron.  
I have to say that up to that point I always shied away from hair oils, because they are usually thick, so they weigh my hair down and give me a sense of greasiness, which I absolutely cannot tolerate, not even for a minute.
So having the best excuse for a wild shopping spree, I was browsing through www.beautybay.com, when I came across an organic oil treatment, the Milk_Shake Glistening Argan Oil. I bought the 50ml size, being absolutely certain, as I was purchasing it, that I would hate it.
And then it came home... And then I fell in love with it...



It claims that it is an ultra-replenishing conditioning treatment, leaving hair smooth and silky. It has a unique formula which dramatically reduces blow drying time and deeply conditions the hair. I'm not sure about the blow drying time reduce. As for conditioning and replenishing the hair, it is spot on!



After I wash my hair, I towel dry and massage a small amount of the oil into the ends. Apart from the amazing nutty smell, it also leaves my hair feeling like silk. Its consistency is not thick, it's almost watery, so it doesn't feel greasy at all. The big revelation is after blow drying. My hair has a healthy shine that I hadn't seen in years! All that being said, I kept the best for last. I've had the 50 ml bottle for nearly 5 months, using it after every wash, (I wash my hair every other day) and I'm not even half way through it!!

So Milk_Shake for hair? Oh Yes!!

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS: BROW WIZ VS BROW POWDER DUO..


After a huge load of reviews online about Anastasia Brow Wiz, I decided that it was time to get on that wagon myself. I had already purchased the Brow Powder Duo in Medium Brown a few months back and I was completely happy with the result it gave my eyebrows. And then that pencil came into my life..

Using the Powder Duo with the Sephora Angled Liner Brush in No15 (even though it's meant to be used for lining the eyes, I find it the best way to apply brow powder as well), my eyebrows always look perfectly shaped. I even have two choices: the lighter shade for my day time makeup and the darker one (the almost untouched one I mean) for the nights out. I can even mix both of them to create my own shade depending on my skin tone or overall makeup at every occasion. So it's the perfect product right? Well... almost.

The Brow Wiz Pencil in Medium Brown is another story! On one end there is an ultra-small mechanical pencil and on the other end, the best spooley brush I've ever used. The pencil being so fine, helps me give the impression of not having painted eyebrows, but actual hairs. I used to be an over-tweezer, a price I'm still paying, but with the pencil I can mimic real hairs. And if I get carried away (which I always do) I have my perfect spooley to correct it. It grabs the hairs and brushes them through taking the excess product out and in the same time keeping them in place.

I never thought I could fall in love with a product that gives a specific result and less with one that is so versatile, but this pencil has won me over, as it's the best one I've ever used to date. I will still be using my Powder Duo though whenever I like to mix and match the two shades.
