It's been a long time.
Yes, I know I said this before, but I had just moved and life was crazy.
I will start blogging once or twice a week. I will be taking this blog in a new direction, and possibly changing its name. It will still be beauty, but also with random life things. So whatever I feel like writing, err typing (in this case) about I will just type, whether it be a review, a ramble, recommendation, etc. It will be like my online diary, I suppose. ;)
I can't wait to start!!!
Lots of Love!

I am back...again!
Hey!
I know I said I'd be back a long time ago, but every time I tried to post, it wouldn't work. I later found out it was because of the browser I was using, I don't know why though. But then I got busy again, etc. and school started. But hopefully I'll be able to post more. ;)

I AM BACK!
I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been such a long time! Over 6 months! I'm so sorry I left without any notice. So much has happened in the past couple of months. I recently moved and it's been a very long and hectic process. Even now, my room still is not complete! But I'm back, and will start to post more frequently.
I hope everyone is having a lovely summer. :)
Until next time!

Product Review: John Frieda Root Awakening Health Boosting Detangling Spray
Hi everyone.
So, as promised, I am doing a review. I am reviewing the Health Boosting Detangling Spray, found at drugstores. What this spray basically does is untangle your hair. When you go out the shower, you spray 3-5 pumps at your roots and massage it in. I like to comb the spray through my hair. The spray contains natural eucalyptus, vitamins, and heat protection. The spray is for all hair types. I bought this product around 4 months ago, but never had a chance to review it.
I like the product. The smell isn't bad, you can definitely smell the eucalyptus scent. It does detangle pretty well, but as for it's nourishing and silk-ing claims, I don't see a difference in my hair. I think it's nice that it also has heat protectant. The bottle is 6 FL OZ. and it does last a long time. I've had it for 4 months and I still have half the bottle. Pretty much, it does what it is intended for, to detangle your hair.

Purchase Again: Yes

Product Review: The Body Shop Nutmeg and Vanilla Body Butter
Hey! So for this month, I will do various reviews on different body butters. Today will be The Body Shop's Nutmeg and Vanilla Body Butter.
The smell of this body butter is not overwhelming. It's not my favorite, but I like it. It is thick. (Well of course, it's a body butter, duh, silly me!). When you rub it on, it is shiny and greasy. The shine will stay for maybe (at the most) 5 minutes. What I like about this butter is that it is long lasting. I placed it an hour ago, that is at around 7:45pm EST, and right now, it is 9:01pm EST. So that's a little over an hour. If you run your hand over where you rubbed it, you will still feel the product, but it is also still soft, and this body butter doesn't lose it's scent. However, if you wash your hands regularly, then of course the butter will wash off. The butter is for normal skin. I placed it on my hands and they definitely feel soft. I recommend this one. It's not my favorite, but if you have normal skin (at least your hands aren't very dry), then I would recommend it. It is $20. The price might be intimidating, especially for a body butter, but you get a lot of product and it's worth it! (It is good for skin types ranging from normal to dry!)
Product: The Body Shop Nutmeg and Vanilla Body Butter
Price: $20
Rating (out of 10): 8/10
Recommend: Yes
Until next time. I will be reviewing other body butters this month too, so stay tuned. Remember to follow my blog and help me reach my goal of 50 followers before July 12! Thanks again. Have a great Sunday evening!

Who Wore It Best?
Who Wore It Best - Katie Cassidy v. Lauren Conrad - UsMagazine.com
Posted using ShareThis
This time, it's between: Katie Cassidy and Lauren Conrad.
Honestly, I think Katie wore it better. The makeup better matches the dress, and so does the hair. It also fits better on her body. What do you think? Comment below.

How To: Choose A (Spring) Scent
Hi all.
Spring. Florals and light nudes, pinks, and greys. Flowers, and cherry blossoms. What better time than to trade your warm, musky, winter scent for a light, spring one. Here are ways to help you pick a scent. Scents that are in this spring are fruity and soft.
-Smell each perfume on a fragrance blotter. Do not put more than one perfume on a blotter.
- Smell overload? Ask for something that smells strong, such as coffee beans, which most perfume stores will have. If not, bring some with you (if you know you are going to go perfume shopping.)
Smell them. If not, try smelling your sleeves.
-Once you narrow it down to a couple of perfumes, spritz on different parts of your body. "Warm spots are the best places to spray a scent because fragrance is enhanced by heat. Try the hollow of the neck, behind your ears, the inner wrists, and crooks of the knees and elbows. Avoid spraying your clothes or hair—some fragrances can stain and leave your hair greasy."
-Wait for a minimum of 30 minutes and smell, and decide which is the best.

Women Spend $13,000 Each on Makeup
Hey!
I found this article very interesting. It is from yahoo. ( http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/women-spend-13-000-each-on-makeup-1147372/ ).
"Supposedly the beauty industry is recession-proof. Why? Because when times are tough and ladies can't afford to splurge on a new outfit, buying a tube of lipstick or a bottle of nail polish provides a cheap thrill. And we don't know about you, but it's often difficult to go into a drugstore or walk by a Sephora without purchasing a little something. Well, a new survey has revealed that all those makeup purchases add up to big bucks over time. The results claim that woman will spend, on average, $13,000 in her lifetime. Does that number shock you, or are you already feeling pangs of guilt?
Superdrug, who conducted a survey of 3000 women, found that women begin regularly buying cosmetics by the age of 16. On average, ladies shop for makeup five times a year, spending around $39.45 on each trip. When multiplied by 65 years, the average female adult life, that brings us to a whopping $13,000. As for some specifics, they tallied around $1,620 spent on a lifetime of lipstick, $2,512 on eye shadow, and $3,446 on mascara. We refuse to believe it--we're going to start keeping track.
If these results really are true, women place a great value on makeup! The study found that 70% of women won't leave the house without applying something to her face, with 68% saying cosmetics make them feel more confident. One in five women surveyed said their boyfriends have never seen them without makeup, even in bed! OK, we get it. Makeup is important to us. But perhaps some of that $13,000 could be put to better use."

"Rompers" Polyvore Contest Winners
Congrats to the 3 winners. Due to the lack of entries for this contest, which by the way, is weird. This is the only contest that had less than 100 entries. It only had 16, I have no idea why. Probably because I was so picky about the rompers. Anyway, due to the lack of entries, instead of 12 winners, there are only 3. Congrats to them!

Until next time.
