July Mini Haul!

Steve and I went to the states for some shopping!

Happy 4th of July to you Americans!

The original plan was to go shopping with Ashley and meet up with her but then Steve said his mom was coming so I cancelled with Ashley -___-'

But then it turns out she couldn't come because her ESL class started the day we planned to go and if she missed it then she'd lose her seat in the class so I was like YESSS! But she made us buy lots of useless crap for her which annoyed me.

We also had a brief visit with Ashley! Wooo we didn't do much though, we went to Ulta (why you no in Canada Ulta?!?) and Steve was getting super grumpy because he was hungry lol and we also went to Target.

Picked up some NYX cosmetics

Trying to grow my makeup collection since I have like nothing but 2 BB creams (I'm getting rid of the Nature Republic one though since it breaks me out so really I'm down to 1 BB cream) and a blotting powder and a liquid liner I don't know how to use LOL.

I got the NYX Eye/Eyebrow pencil (I've never tried to use a eyeliner pencil), NYX Rouge Cream Blush and the NYX Gel Liner & Smudger

Mascara!

I also picked up the L'oreal Telescopic Original Mascara in Brown/Black. I thought it was black.. but its brown/black so I was kind of like -___-' fuck lol

Sally Hansen Nail Polishes!

Some of you know my love of these nail polsihes!!! I tried other cheap ones and they don't compare to these. Seriously for like $2.50 they're so goooood. I got #150 Sun Kissed, #300 White on and #360 Mellow Yellow. 

I hope the white one isn't like white out LOL, did anyone ever put white out on your nails when you were in school? LOL I remember lots of girls in my class used to do it as well as use sharpies to color their nails too hahaha.

Makeup Brushes!!

Seeing how I only have like 3 makeup brushes (2 other real techniques brushes and a MUFE one) I decided to expand so I purchased these two! I actually want to order some Sigma brushes but I'm poor LOL so I have to make due on what I can afford :D

I bought the fine liner brush and shading brush. Ashley told me that she has the fine liner brush and it sucks but I have nothing to compare to so I'm gonna think its awesome lol.

Picked up a drugstore foundation!

Ashley told me she never uses drugstore foundations cause they suck? I don't remember what she said exactly but I know she doesn't like to use drugstore foundations. But I was watching a youtube video where a beauty guru (Hana Tam) used Revlon's Colorstay foundation and I wanted to give it a try (the American packaging is not the same as the HK one, doesn't have a pump T__T)

The problem I have with this so far is I don't know if this is the right color or not for me... LOL since there was no tester I could open I kind of just based it on the BB cream colors I usually get (which is usually natural beige) and I got the combination/oily skin formula. 

I hope this doesn't break me out >.<

Body Oil!

I've been getting these weird dry red patches on my arms and my elbow and regular moisturizer isn't working for me so I decided to get this! Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Since Style Suzi got a bottle of this I decided to give it a try. 

I've tried the Neutrogena body oil (sesame scented formula) but I did not like the smell and I discovered that they have a unscented formula -___-' but I had already purchased this so if this sucks then I'll go back to Neutrogena.

 Some new clothes

I don't think I've bought an article of clothing that wasn't workout related in a LOOOONG time. We went to the Seattle Premium Outlets and they had some new stores open (Forever 21, American Eagle, etc...)

I bought this tank top and a pair of shorts and the store had a sale that was 40% off everything except for jeans! O__O I kind of wish I got another pair of shorts but I can always go back later and get some ^__^ I didn't really buy anything else from the outlet but Steve bought quite a bit for himself and his mom.

Forgot to include these in the group shot lol

Every time I go to the Walmart near the Tulalip Casino I look for the Organix biotin & collagen shampoo but it was always sold out >.< but this time I found it!! Woooooo! I'm almost finished the Organix Anti-Breakage shampoo and conditioner so its good timing.

I'm due for another hair cut soon (I got it cut in like February) and I'm thinking of dying my hair but I don't know which color I should pick (Should I go lighter? Or darker? suggestions please!)

What are your summer purchases so far? Any recommendations?

Haircare!

 SUPER SPLIT END!

As I mentioned before in a previous post, I haven't had my hair cut or trimmed in almost a year. Right now I have TONS of split ends even on certain strands there's multiple splits. I kind of just take a pair of scissors and trim them myself o.O lol which is not a good idea. But since I switched up my haircare routine the health of my hair has gotten so much better!

A year ago I was using this:

Nisim's Fast Growing Shampoo and Conditioner

I actually don't know if it works or not LOL I used it a lot but after a few months I did notice that my hair was getting really thin and I was like wtf so I stopped using it. The product is quite drying and it smells alright.. I had to use tons of product to get it to lather up, maybe my hair is messed up? I started using the Kao Essential Shampoo and Conditioner after it arrived in the mail.

I ordered four bottles off of Sasa

I actually really like this shampoo and conditioner, it smells so good. But I did notice that it wasn't moisturizing enough for my hair and by the time that happened most of the product was gone and I was way too lazy to order shampoo off of Sasa again because I didn't just want to buy fucking shampoo and spend $18 on shipping when its like $6 per bottle of shampoo >.< So I switched it up again!

I actually bought all of these

I was quite hesitant in buying this because I've never had good experiences with drugstore shampoos/conditioners because my hair would fall out o.O I bought this because it was cheap lol like $3 for a big bottle of shampoo. I was actually surprised on how well it works! it actually thickened up my hair quite a bit (I have fine hair) so I was pretty amazed after a few washes that it had the results that it did. I used it for many months until it started drying out my hair again LOL but I was also using the Biosilk silk therapy serum so it wasn't so bad.

A little goes a long way

Stupid Canada sells this for SO MUCH. This is the 5.64 fl. oz bottle and I got it for $20. Ashley gifted me the 12 fl. oz bottle (so more than double the size of this) and she told me it was $20 -___-' wtf! After I blow dry my hair I use this and only a small amount on my ends, if I put too much on I'll run it through my whole head but by tomorrow my hair will be super duper greasy >.< I only wash my hair every other day. But this makes my hair smoother, and really moisturized.

What I'm using now!

What I hate about long hair is that you use TONS OF PRODUCT. I told Ashley I wanted a more moisturizing shampoo/conditioner and she gave me these which is super awesome! They make my hair so moisturized! (for now lol) The consistency of the shampoo is kind of weird, maybe it's my bottle but its kind of gelatinous >.< lol but it lathers in my hair quite well and the conditioner makes my hair so smooth.

I've read reviews of the Organix line about how it doesn't do shit but everyone is different. This works well for me so I'm gonna continue to use it until it fucks my hair up LOL the bottles are quite small so I think I'll have to buy tons of this but I really like it a lot so far and I wanna try their hair oils, serums and sprays! They're pretty affordable too! ^__^

It's gonna be a while until I write another post because Steve's sister is visiting for the next 4-5 days >.<
