Wet n Wild Colour Icon Eyeshadows

in Kitten and Nutty

Looking through my makeuo collection, I came across these babies that I completely forgot about. Since moving, ive become lazy with my makeup and tend to use alot of the same things and only reach for the eyeshadows in my palette. But I use to enjoy using these and thought id give them a little love.

Let me start by saying the colour icon line is just awesome. Ive raved about their blushes before and think these are great for what, two bucks in the drugstore? Bargain. They have great colour payoff and have some nice colours although not a whole lot of options. My only problem, as you can see in the picture above, is that the brown one seems to break in the package for some reason, and I havent even travelled with them or dropped on the floor. Bit of a pain in the you know what, but for the price I guess you cant really complain.

Tigi Bed Head Urban Antidotes Level 2 Recovery Shampoo + Conditioner

 

 As someone who colours and styles their hair often, keeping soft and healthy hair is something that can be difficult at times. Damaged hair comes easy from excessive heat from blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons and no one wants to deal with the straw-like hair that can sometimes come from doing so. Fortunately, Tigi has a shampoo targeted towards different damage levels; 1 for normal hair, 2 for dry and damaged hair, and 3 for weak and brittle hair. These come in two sizes- 250 ml tubes or 750 ml pump bottles.

Tigi claims to strengthen and bring shine to your damaged locks, with turbo hydration molecules to bring moisture. Now obviously a shampoo and conditioner cant magically repair your damage and give you healthy hair again, but it can help to strengthen and give the appearance and texture of healthy hair. I had high hopes for these as I heard good things, and wasnt disappointed. The scent is lovely- a fruity aroma that cannot be described, that lasts in the hair. I really enjoy catching a wiff of my hair throughout the day. Apart from smelling nice, I find that my hair has a noticeably softer texture. I leave the conditioner on a few minutes and come through, and it leaves my hair feeling soft and easy to manage. I have been using these for a few months now and will definitely purchase this again, although I definitely wont need to for a while with the size of these bottles. Id love to try some of their other shampoos as well and would love to know which ones you like if youve tried any!

Empties #4

Unfortunately my empties got thrown out before I had a chance to snap a pick, but regardless here it was i've used up.. that I can remember.

Softsoap Strawberry Scrub body wash
 I love this stuff. It smells amazing and is super moisturizing on your skin. It has small exfoliating beads in it, which are very gentle on the skin.

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil conditioner
A lot of people talk about Organix products, the coconut stuff specifically. I wanted to try something from their line and went with this conditioner. It is sulfate free- good for colour treated hair, which is why I tried it. Honestly, it wasnt anything special. Unless you leave it on a few minutes, it doesnt leave your hair that soft. It wasnt something I was wowed by and wouldnt recommend it. I ended up using the last little bit to shave my legs with.

Nivea Sunny Melon Oil body wash
This contains oil pearls to soften and paper the skin. It smells like honey dew melon which is amazing, and leaves the skin feeling soft and doesnt leave a tight feeling on the skin. I think this would be perfect for winter when your skin is drier and needs more moisture.

cotton rounds
Not much to say about this.

Sweet Almond Milk body butter 
I cant remember the brand name of this, but it was nothing special. I got it on sale a good while ago and decided it was finally time to use it up. The scent was not that pleasant and
I wouldnt buy it again.

SPAresource tangerine hand cream
This stuff smells lovely. The cream is nice, it doesnt leave a greasy residue. I think I would prefer the scent as a body lotion though as it gets a bit irritating smelling it on your hands all day.

lady speed stick mini deoderant
I get minis from the dollar store to carry around in my bag with me. Theyre great for travel or when you want to freshen up during the day. This one smells like strawberries which id really nice.

Korres Vitamin E Face Primer

Ive never used a primer before as I never thought I needed one. I decided to give this Korres Vitamin E primer a try and was pleasantly surprised at the results. It has a very mild scent that I can not describe, but when applied you cant smell it at all. Its light and dries in almost instantly.

Usually, my blush kind of wears off throughout the day, which I dont mind as I dont usually have that long of days anyway so its not a big deal to me, but it may be to you. The first thing I noticed when I went to remove my makeup at night after using this, was that my blush lasted. Im not someone who likes to reapply their makeup throughout the day, so this was a nice surprise. Also, my foundation looked pretty much as it did when I applied in the morning. I didnt have the highest expectations to be completely honest, even though this had high rating from what I had read. I never thought I needed a primer as I dont have bad skin, that if my makeup wears off a little, it never really bothered me. But I have been enjoying using this on long days and would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice primer.

NYC Sunny Bronzer

Everybody raves about this extremely affordable drugstore blush from NYC. I bought this over a year ago to try it out and was a little disappointed. Everyone claims it suits all skin tones and isnt too orangey on the skin. But I have too disagree. On my pale skin, this comes off very orange and if im not extremely careful, can give a dirty look to my cheek. Not attractive. Unfortunately, for whiteys like myself, I do not think this is a very good colour choice, but luckily it only cost me at $2.99 to figure out. I have still been using this with a very light hand, but will definitely be on the look out for a better suited colour for my complexion. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
