I have been supper obsessed with this site lately. I litterally spend my whole day just typing away on my Luuux account. Join!:]

L’oreal Sulfate Free Volumizing Shampoo 

Its pretty good as far as shampooing goes. I’m not very picky when it comes to washing my hair, but I do like that it is sulfate free and it still does lather up quite nicely. It also doesn’t leave my hair feeling super dry or anything. I didn’t notice any volumizing when I used this shampoo so I guess that gives it a con, but I do like the smell. It has this minty juniper kind of smell going on, that does not linger in my hair.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner

I LOVE the smell of this. It has this really nice coconuty smell that I just love. It was actually the main reason for me buying the bottle. It works pretty well as a conditioner, don’t really have any cons to this one. It leaves my hair feeling soft and silky as I rinse it out but it still isn’t enough to really hydrate and penetrate m dry/damaged hair.

Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-in-Conditioner Spray

I use this when I am planning on straightening my hair. Since my hair leans between straight and wavy, I can usually control the outcome of my hair once it dries. I spray my ends with this stuff as soon as I am out of the shower, and using a wide tooth comb, gently brush my hair out. I don’t think that it is necessarily the best leave in conditioner out there. I think that there are definitely better ones, but I am going to finish this up first before I go and buy a different kind.

Garnier Fructiese Leave-in-Conditioner

I use this for when I plan not to straighten my hair. After I shower and towel dry my hair I will scrunch this in and once my hair dries, it comes out with some nice decent waves. Again I don’t think this is a great leave-in and I will not be buying it again. I don’t think it has much moizturizing properties going on for me, it actually leaves my hair a little crunchy if I use too much so I have to be a bit carefull with it.

Tresseme Heat Tamer

You know I thought that I would really like this stuff, but I just didn’t think it really protected my hair all that much. It leaves my hair feeling a bit sticky and I feel as it leaves some residue in my hair. You hear a lot of people raving for this product but I truly think there are other products out there that work a lot better than this stuff.

I asked my hairdresser to cut off all my dead ends, which ended up being about 3-4 inches of hair. Though all the dead ends are chopped off, my hair still has that same dry/damaged texture. I want to go back to having long, thick hair and it is going to take some work….actually A LOT of work, a little bit less of the heat, and a little bit more of some deep conditioner and a whole lot of patience.

From now on in the beginning of each month, I will be doing hair updates, and in between I will be reviewing the products that work with my hair. And I hope that by at least December we will be seeing some good results. Until next time.

A primer! And not just any primer, this is a DRUGSTORE primer. It is very comparable to the Smashbox Photofinish Primer Light. The only difference that I see is that the Fix & Perfect has an  orange tint to it. So for those fair girls (NW/NC 20 and below) I would use caution with this or if not, you will end up looking like a straight up Oompa Loompa. Now on to the Review!

This primer is perfect for Oily girls with large pores. It really does fill in your lines and almost creates this soft focus effect on your face. I have small pore around my nose area, and I also have a little bit of pits/acne scarring and this stuff really does fill it in. It also keeps my skin looking Matte for atleast 5 hours, before I see the oils beginning to show up. Its also great for those days when you do not want to wear foundation, but still have nice looking skin. I just slather some of this stuff on and put a bit of press powder and top and voila, you got matte, poreless looking skin for the day.

This is also a silicone based primer, so those who have reactions to this may want to stay away. It also contains a light citrus scent that is undetectable ones it is one the face.

See how it fills in the lines on my hand??
