Curling Wand Love!!

So...i recently purchased a curling wand...the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium to be exact..and i just tried for the first time yesterday and LOVE IT!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE???? LIKE seriously...I'm one of those people who struggle using curling irons..i always seem to get a dent o_0...and my curling with a flat iron skills have only somewhat improved...its a gamble each time i try..either it works and i have wonderful waves and curls..or it fails and left with bent up hair...more so the latter than the former takes place...but this, THIS right here...on the first try there was a nice, soft, wavy, loose curl.. *EUREKA!*
noooo longer will i have to struggle to get wavy/curly hair...sigh...it was a good day...

so, details about the product..its heats up to 450 degrees F...has a dial so you can control the temperature..made from titanium, which helps with eliminate frizz..it heats up SUPER fast..easy maintenance and storage.. and i got it in the size 1 1/4 which is equivalent to a 3/4 barrel.. =)

ANOTHER POLISH Haul...can we say new addictions? (eik!)

So...I took a lil trip across the border recently and got some new polishes! WOOT! Any who I picked up the OPI Glam Slam...Its a lil 2 piece nail lacquer kit.  It has the Spark De Triomphe...which is basically a silver glittery polish and..don don da donnnnn...the White Shatter! *squeals* Now, where I went I had a lot of options..there was also the china glaze shatters...but i duno...im sure they do the same thing..but i started with OPI..so might as well continue..RIGHT? :S...Any who...I tried the white shatter and its pretty nice...i still don't know which i like better though the black or white...RIGHT now there about tied..hmmm

oh..also, i picked up my first CHINA GLAZE polish..(yes yes i know, im late) but i never really see it around where i live...any who..i had to control myself with those too..so i only got one...its called HAPPY GO LUCKY...its a BRIGHT YELLOW! Im quite pleased with it...it will be one of my summer staples!

*swatches will be coming soon*

3 POLISHES, 1 GLOSS...mini HAUL!

So, I recently discovered the O.P.I SHATTER NAIL POLISH and had to buy it! and i must say it pretty cool!
I also got the O.P.I Top Coat, because 1. i don't have one 2. figured i should just invest in one, and i was surprised at how much of a difference it made. it truly added shine to the nail colour. 

while visiting Sephora i got this nail polish, Hi-Def..its a nice BRIGHT orange, which i think it great for the upcoming summer!

And I also purchased the Sephora Collection Lip Stain in the colour FOREVER FUCHSIA! Its a satin finish cream lip stain.  I was a bit iffy when getting it, since it was kinda bright, but just went for it and happy i did! its soooooo nice! and its long lasting!!  I wore it out but topped it with MAC's Ample Pink Lip glass. and it was a perfect blend.  But even alone the lip stain works.  I think I'ma invest in another one...I'm thinking of the bright red..probably the ALWAYS RED one! =)

And I Wonder....

I recently came across this passage and feel i should take some points from it. 

It says a lot.  in life we tend to complain a lot about stuff..when instead we should be making the best of things, and living life to the fullest.

Let your hair down...and enjoy LIFE!

New Additions: Aphogee ..???

So, i decided to change up my hair regime a bit and add some new products.  I didn't really have much protein in my regime so figured i should get some. i did some researched and decided to get the Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor and the Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer. 

I read a lot of good reviews on these two products.  The 2 minute is a wash out conditioner while the keratin and green tea is a leave in.

So far..i dunno =S...i used the 2 minute reconstructor back in January before i got a sew in weave...and then when i took the weave out and washed it, again using now both of these products, i found  my hair was breaking ...a lot...and still is! =(! so i have no clue..these are the only things i changed about my regime. but I'm going to continue to use them and see. since I've only used them 2 or 3 times. if my hair continues to break then i will stop. 
I don't know it if just winter time and my hair is just going through something or what. but my next wash, I'ma not use either of these products and see if the breakage is the same or not.

I don't wanna make any other conclusions on these products...I'm sure there good, just maybe not for me. Ill do an update next month!

till then,
