China Glaze Wild Mink + Konad



China Glaze in "Wild Mink." I know I've posted this before, but I think this is a better picture. This is probably my favorite nail polish. It's the one I use the most. I reach for this so much because application is so easy.



I was playing around with the Konad nail art kit. I used white for the design and added a shimmery pink top coat. The pinky nail design smeared! I'm still trying to get the hang of it, but it's really cool.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish everyone a

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday. Eat lots of yummy food! & Instead of thinking about the things you want, take the time to appreciate what you already have.

I'm most thankful for the people in my life. They're much more valuable to me than material possessions and I would be nowhere without them. My family, my boyfriend, my best friends.

I'm also thankful for my followers! Especially those who leave comments. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO:
Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, with a refreshing fragrance, revitalizes greasy, dull and lifeless hair between washes. Instantly leaves your hair feeling clean, full of body, and smelling beautiful. Quick and convenient to use wherever you are.

Overall Rating: 5/5
Price: Around $6 at Sally Beauty Supply

This stuff is a life saver. It really soaks up the oil in my hair, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed. It saves me so much time in the morning. My hair (especially my bangs) gets greasy pretty quickly and I don't have to shampoo & straighten my hair every single day anymore. It has a sort of powdery scent, which isn't bad compared to other dry shampoos. Honestly, the expensive ones I've tried have such STRONG smells that I don't like at all. It's also much more affordable than other dry shampoos, and the bottle lasts me for almost a month. I like how it's in a spray can so I can carry it in my bag and use it if my hair starts getting oily throughout the day.

HOW I USE IT:


start off with shiny, but oily hair!


i brush my hair back a little bit first


spray the dry shampoo onto your hair


lift up strands of hair and spray into the roots


massage it in until the white color is gone


brush your hair again
