For Those In-Between Hair Days

I was a bit puzzled by this product when it arrived as a bonus with one of my shipments of Wen Cleansing Conditioner.  What is it?  Leave in conditioner?  It smells really good but it didn't seem to do anything as a leave in conditioner.  For a while I combined it half and half with another rather plain leave in conditioner to make it smell pretty.  Shrug.

Then I got bangs.  So what IS a girl to do on those days in between washings when her bangs are standing straight up in the morning?  It is not good for your hair to wash it every day.  But sometimes those days in between feel a little ragged.  Especially when you wake up with three new cowlicks where your bangs are supposed to be.

Well hello Wen Replenishing Treatment Mist!  The formulation is light weight enough to wet your hair down almost completely without making it oily or heavy.  So basically it's a do over for your hair.  You can start fresh and re-style your hair so that it looks like the first day you washed it.  No more crazy cowlick bangs and the rest of my hair is refreshed as well.

It is hydrating and I imagine it helps combat friz to a certain extent because the formulation is water, aloe vera juice, and a TON of fruit and flower extracts.  The lavender formulation does have a bit of lavender essential oil but it is not oily at all and smells divine.  A leave in conditioner is heavier because it is automatically diluted by the water in your wet hair.  This is essentially the same effect for the days in between washings to work with your dry hair.

I'm looking forward to also using it as a refresher for my face and body in the hot summer days ahead as well.  The combination of aloe vera juice, lavender essential oil, and water is nothing but good for your skin.

The Controversial Ordinary

Image
So recently I dealt with a difficult loss. I was in pretty bad shape and after a week or so found myself looking at a truly messed up stranger in the mirror. Facebook must have known I needed a distraction because I found myself part of this new group about all things The Ordinary along with another group called FOREVER 35 . Lord did I go down the rabbit hole. These were my people. Just as obsessed with skincare as I normally am. I dare say even worse. The concept of The Ordinary is right up my alley. Individual ingredients sold separately for shockingly low prices. I'm the person who at times has purchased ingredients wholesale in bulk to make my own moisturizer. So this of course intrigued me. Now I want to preface this by saying you really do need to do your research before buying all of The Ordinary products and slapping them on your face. This is pretty potent stuff. One poor soul posted a photo today of a nasty chemical burn on her cheek from putting a high concentrate ...

To Good Genes or not to Good Genes. That is the Question.

Image
There is a lot of buzz out there for the cult favorite GOOD GENES ($105). But Sunday Riley, the brand which makes this cult phenomenon is also cultivating a lot of buzz for bad business practices. I'm not one for supporting a company that fakes reviews. Maybe those fake reviews created the buzz to make GOOD GENES phenomenon; maybe they didn't. But in truth real people do love the product. Because lactic acid is an effective ingredient. Lactic acid, is lactic acid though. There are plenty of other brands that carry a good lactic acid product. For a one to one, meaning basically the same product/function, I actually prefer Tata Harper RESURFACING SERUM ($88). GOOD GENES is good but in my experience RESURFACING SERUM from Tata Harper is better and more effective. I recently discovered Thrive OVERNIGHT SENSATION Brightening Sleep Mask ($62) which combines glycolic and lactic acid and that is working well for me right now. I've happily used Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkl...

Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara

Image
Never in my life have I been able to wear mascara on my lower lashes. The shape of my eye pretty much ensures a very grave raccoon eye situation. I can't say I experience much angst about this condition. Such is life. I honestly didn't know I cared until I got Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. So this is one of those Facebook ad stalker situations. I was getting the ad for this mascara constantly until I finally caved and made the purchase. There is a sucker born every minute and when it comes to mascara, I'm a sucker. Of course I had to get past the name. It's forgivable, but the word Causemetics makes me itch and I'm not thrilled about typing it out right now. But this mascara is something. My inferiority complex about my eyelashes is well documented on this blog and yet my willingness to apply fake lashes has been steadily waning. Because I inevitably lose one or two of the few lashes I have during the fake lash, glue removal process and...
