Products I Live By: Stay Don't Stray

 Benefits: Stay Don't Stray!


A few years ago I discovered the Benefit counter in a Belk department store and bought some lip glosses and mascara. With my purchase I also got two samples one was a blush and the other was Stay Don't Stray! This is when I fell in love with Stay Don't Stray, it is in my opinion the BEST primer out there I love it! I keeps my eye shadow on ALL day long and it makes all the colors look great! But this is NOT a review, so I am just going to tell you how I use it! Everyday when I put my makeup on I put a very small amount of it on my lid and then apply ANY shadow on my lids. It works perfect you can also use it as a concealer. The packaging on all Benefit products are super cute also!! You should definatly try this product out because it's one I live by! 

Thanks for reading!

Review: Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy Long Lengths

Clear Long Lengths Shampoo!




What Clear Says: 

Clear scalp and hair beauty therapy strong lengths nourishing shampoo  for weak hair prone to breakage is clinically proven to help restore scalp's natural moisture balance when used with the conditioner. The shampoo with strengthing serum, provides stronger hair in only seven days.

How To Use: 

Apply to wet hair, gently massage into scalp, lather and rinse. 

Review:

Every time I run out of shampoo I buy a different kind I always buy an inexpensive brand at wal-mart or target. The reason I do this is because if I use the same kind of shampoo for more than a bottle my hair gets use to it and it's less effective in cleaning my hair. As I was walking through wal-mart a few weeks ago I saw this shampoo on the shampoo isle. There was a sign above it that said something along the lines of "NEW TO THIS STORE" so of course knowing me I had to check it out. My hair is long so I decided the strong lengths was the right choice for me. Not only does this shampoo smell great it has done wonders to my hair! I love it so much it makes my hair feel strong and less likely to break off. Plus I've found that it paired with Aussie 3 minute miracle (which I did a review on that you can look at HERE) it works super well! My hair also seems to stay cleaner longer. I also noticed that the shampoo makes my hair look sleeker and like it has less breakage. I have been using for over seven days and it can honestly say that it has made my hair seem stronger. Also my hair isn't oily looking which is a big problem for me, I've used a few shampoos that make my hair so soft that it looks oily and dirty in within hours. With this shampoo it hasn't which is great! All in it a great product and I would recominde it to anyone who has long hair!

Entertainment Monday #11

 The minute you stop making mistakes is the minute you stop learning.. -Miley Cyrus


We first saw Miley Cyrus on the television screen at the young age of 12 starring as Miley/Hannah in the Disney show Hannah Montana. Since then Cyrus has done many controversial things in the entertainment business, but even if you act like you hate her it would be hard because she is so easy to relate to from growing up in Hollywood to her parents divorce being very public. You have to give her credit for keeping it together and not falling completely apart. Cyrus has been in lots of movies like The Last Song, The Hannah Montana Movie, and her latest LoL by the way if you haven't seen LoL you should it was a GREAT movie! Cyrus has also had a career in music putting out the records Can't Be Tamed, The Time of our Lives, and Breakout.

Review: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle!


I haven't done a review for sometime now and so I thought it would be the perfect time to do one!

What Aussie Says:

Repair and revive your dry damaged hair with this intense, 3-minute hair conditioner by Aussie. 3-minute miracle is a pH balanced treatment formulated with tea tree oil to deep moisturize and reconstruct the hair strand for hair that is smooth, soft, and and full of shine. Great for use on chemically treated hair. 

How to Use:

Work conditioner through clean, wet hair and leave on 1-3 minutes. Rinse with warm water. For extra shine, follow with a cool water rinse. Use daily or as often as needed! 

Review:

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle is maybe one of my favorite products of all time. My hair is always damaged from swimming and plus its long so that means its older haha. The product is a conditioner that you leave on for 3 minutes (I know your thinking DUUUUHHHH ;)) it deep conditions to help mend damaged ends and keep your hair soft and silky. I have to say that Aussie might actually have a miracle in a bottle I was watching a video on YouTube one day and the girl said that she used this product all the time, I was running low on conditioner and I thought "why not!" After using this product once I decided I was in love. Not only does it help me comb through my naturally ratty hair it keeps it moisturized but not to the point its greasy! Which lets just face it is hard to do with conditioners. I've had many problems in the past with getting hair products that don't even help my hair stay clean, which is never fun. The bottle is also really nice there is no lid so you have not chance of breaking it, I think that's the best thing ever! Plus it stands up so you always use as much as you possibly can. To sum this up its a great product it helps your hair and it upholds its standards! It may not be the best product for everyone but let me tell you its saved me lots of time and money on expensive products!! :)
