Hair Rave: Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Conditioner



Hello again! I must tell you about this hair changing product!

Before I begin, I must tell you about my hair. I have naturally straight hair that can get very dry, no matter what products I use. I can get oils,treatments, and shampoo and conditioners that are meant to give moisture and have no results. My hair looks very healthy and soft, but once you touch it, it feels like like hay. Due to the dryness, my hair really started to suffer for about a year and started to poof up a bit.

For a long time, I saw beauty bloggers rave about the Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Conditioner and I just had to try it. I mean, if so many people are getting results, why not me? Let me tell you, it was probably the best thing I have done for my hair! It returned to its natural, straight ways and as an added bonus, it is really soft!If you have thick hair, you have to try this amazing product. i read on some reviews that it also works for textured hair! The smell is great and a little of it goes a long way. my hair is a bit long (ends mid back) and I only need 4 pumps, which is a lot less than what I used to use. On some reviews, it says that the shampoo is not worth the money because the conditioner works just as well with drugstore shampoos in comparison.

If you have thin hair, I do not recommend this product due to its super hydrating qualities. If you still want to try it out, try one or two pumps.


Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Shampoo

  • $19.89 (Amazon prices)
  • 550ml (about 18.6 oz)

My next post will probably be about the May Glam bag since I got it for the first time. I will tell you if the bags are worth spending your money on. Fingers crossed that it isn't a waste of money!

Obsession: Bold Lips

It has been so long since I last wrote a blog post! I think the last time I made one was either before or in the beginning of fall semester.....DEDICATION RIGHT HURRR!

Anyways, I have fallen in love with a new trend( at least for me!). Bold lips have been gracing my lips for the past month and I can't stop! I especially love matte bold lips because it is not as busy as a satin and gives off a much more chic look.

The colors I have especially liked are:
Wet n' Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks in: Smokin' Hot Pink and Purty Persimmon
Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in: Hot

I especially love these because they stain my lips as well! Now don't get me wrong, I do not constantly wear bold lips. I understand they can be overbearing and that may not be your style. If you do want to try out these colors, I suggest tapping it on your lips and smudge with your fingers and build up to your desired pigmentation.

Now, it's picture time!
  

Wet n' Wild Lipstick in in Purty Persimmon. I would say it is an orange-red lipstick that really suits yellow undertones.




Wet n' Wild Lipstick in Smokin' Hot Pink. A dusty rose/cool toned pink that would probably suit a lot of skin tones. This one is my favorite because it is bold, but not as crazy as the others. 




Covergirl Lipstick in Hot. This color is said to be Taylor Swift's lip color and boy, do I like it! It is a pink toned red(if that helps) and is absolutely universal. 

Disclaimer: if you don't like you lips stained, don't try these out because they stain your lips like crazy!

That's all folks! Thank you for reading!
