♥ a few things i use in every day life
wearing :
senior sweats again! lol $20.00
I don't have any make-up on.
So, I follow quite a few people who vary in subjects they talk about and I saw a post by this one person who I don't follow and she was stating all the things in life she uses, well, for a beauty routine. So I'm gonna do the same. I wish I remembered her name because I would give the link, so if you've done this, credit to you!
Hair :
Well, when I usually get in the shower, I always wash my hair first. I use Pantene Pro-V products and I will never change. I know PPV is expensive, but it works wonders for broken hair. When I get out of the shower, I brush my hair with a hairbrush my mom got me a few years back. I own over five hairbrushes but this one, I don't know, I just like it. Some of the products I use when I go out includes this yellow bottle of hair lightener from Avon. I remember getting it - I think it was my 16th birthday and my best friend Michelle gave it to me and said it was an amazing product. I took one smell of it and I didn't use it. The smell is like a field of sunflowers attacking you. It's made from sunflower oil, so I could see where the smell I came from. You're supposed to spray it onto your hair before you style your hair, and when you go out in the sun, it's supposed to lighten your hair. When I first used it, I was about to go to Six Flags that day, and I wanted to see if it really worked. I got home later that evening and took my hair out of the ponytail, and there was a difference. It wasn't a huge difference, but it was definitely to the point where you could notice it. After awhile, I got used to the smell, and now I use it whenever I go out. As for my hairspray, I use the super hold from Tresemme's 24-hour line. My hair never holds anything. Not even a ponytail, so when I do my hair I like to spray my hair with a few sprays. This is a wonderful product. It really does hold your hair and it makes it stronger. The bottle says it holds your hair through sand storms and you can finally drive with the top down in your car, and that statement is 100% true. I recommend this product to anyone who has troubles keeping a hairstyle for more than five minutes. I would tell you the product I use for heat protectant, but I don't own any. I straighten and blow dry my hair all the time and it really does damage my hair and I recommend anyone who uses heat on thier hair to go buy a heat protectant. I've heard the Retro Chic Glazz Reconstruction Potion works rather well, and itsjudytime on Youtube uses it in every time in her hair tutorials. It's kind of pricy, at $24.00, but I bet it's definitely worth every penny.
Make-up :
Oh man, where to start. I'm really big on make-up. Like, huge. I love putting on make-up. I don't own any MAC or Sephora or Urban Decay, but I love drugstore products. I'll name off everything I have.

Make-up :
Oh man, where to start. I'm really big on make-up. Like, huge. I love putting on make-up. I don't own any MAC or Sephora or Urban Decay, but I love drugstore products. I'll name off everything I have.
- Eyeshadows :
- Artist's Palette from Icing's : this comes with twelve different colors. It was an okay purchase. Some of the colors are really not that pigmented and I can't see this palette really helpful in a make-up world.
- CoverGirl eyeshadow : I have one single eyeshadow from Covergirl and I love it. It's in Pink, shade 540. In the case, it looks pink. But when you put it on, it is very different. It shows up as silver but with a pinkish tint. I have to say though, it's such a pretty color.
- Than, I have one product from Jane Cosmetics. It's also a single eyeshadow and it's called Moss, shade 40. It's a very pigmented color and it's matte, so it has no shimmer or sparkle to it whatsoever.
- Lip glosses :
- I have quite a few lipglosses, so I just pulled them out of my make-up bag at random.
- The first one I pulled was a Hello Kitty sparkle gloss. It came with this pack that I got and well, if you know me, you know that I LOVE Hello Kitty. In the little container, it looks pink and it has tons of sparkles. When you put it on though, it's still very sparkly and it comes out clear. The smell : kind of had like a cotton candy smell.
- Another one I have is a palette of six colors and it's from American Eagle. I got it for my birthday as a gift from them. Honestly, I don't really use it. They're all really pretty colors, but they're not at all pigmented. The smell : all of them smell like birthday cake. I love the smell.
- Then I have another lip product from that Hello Kitty pack I told you about from the first gloss. This one is a lip balm and it's kind of like a dark pink with muti-color little sparkles in it. When you put it on, the sparkles don't really show up THAT much, but if you look close, you do see the sparkle. The smell : It's called "Mixed Berries" and I think it smells a lot like blueberries and blackberries mixed together. It's very pretty.
- I also have two Bon Bon lip glosses from Wal-mart. I have one in pink and one in clear. The pink one isn't very pigmented but it does have a really pretty shine to it. The smell is kind of indescribable..I don't think it really has a scent. The clear gloss is in "Kiss". It comes out as clear, so there's really no pigment at all. It does have some shine to it. The smell is really pretty. It smells like Vanilla, and I love vanilla scented products.
- Blistex lip balm. I love love love this lip balm. It's not supposed to have any pigment in it, but it helps my lips so well. My lips get really dry seeing as I live in Florida and you always have to be really hydrated. Mine is in "Medicated Berry". The smell is kind of like a menthol mixed with berries. When you put it on it burns just a little, kind of like a small tingle like a lip plumper gives, but it definitely works.
- Then I have this random tube of lip balm and it's from Avon. I really don't remember when I got it or who I got it from, I think my mom gave it to me. The smell is AMAZING. It's in cucumber melon and I love that scent as well. I've never used it so I really don't know how it works.
- Cheeks :
- I only have one thing of blush and I don't really use it because I have rosacia. But I think it's a good product. It's CoverGirl. It's the Instant Cheekbones collection. I think it's the rose trio but I'm not too certain.
- Eyeliner :
- I only use one eyeliner and it's amazing. It;s a pencil liner and it's from Maybelline New York. It's in ebony black. I love love love this liner. It goes on very smoothly and it's very black - the way I like it.
- As for mascara goes, I also only use one product and it's from Maybelline New York. It's Great Lask mascara and it's in Very Black. I like this mascara because it doesn't clump.
- I really don't use foundation. I haven't found a good one for me yet.
So that's all of my make-up products.
Body :
For my soap, I use Bath and Body Works products. I have the soap called Warm Vanilla Sugar and as I've mentioned before, I love the smell of Vanilla. I buy this soap in bulk whenever I go to Bath and Body Works. As for moisturizer and things, I don't use any because I have yet to find any. I hear Lush sells some good products, but I really don't have the money to go spend.
Fragrance :
I use a lot of body sprays and such, but I only have two favorites. First is of course, Warm Vanilla Sugar from Bath and Body Works. I also buy this in bulk because I'm scared they're going to discontinue it. The other spray I like is an actual perfume. It's Fantasy from Britney Spears. I love love love love this scent and I wear it when I go out on a date, or when I have an interview to go to. Such a pretty smell.
Well, that's it. I really did ramble. This took me an hour to type, and I am so done for right now. Hope you enjoyed this!
