I have an obsession, I cut my own hair everyday. In the past year and a half I have died my hair so many times I have lost count and I then think it is a good idea to take 300 degrees to my head to change its texture and straighten it. All in all I don't know how I still have hair in my head. A very tedious trick I have found is that I sit down and I look for each strand of hair and brittle and split ends and cut them off. I works really well to keep my ends soft for the most part and when you go for your next trim your stylist doesn't want to take 6 inches off your hair because you have stopped the split ends from working their way up your hair.
With that being said product also plays a big part in keeping your hair soft. I have two shampoo and conditioner combos that I love equally.
Herbal Essences makes this shampoo and conditioner called Hello Hydration and it is AMAZING. It leaves your hair lovely and soft. What's the best thing about it? It smells like coconut! Something I sometimes do is buy the shampoo and conditioner in 1 and then also use the conditioner.
This product by Aveeno claims to actually repair your hair when you use it at least 3 times, I don't know if I buy it but it makes your hair super soft.
I really love Sephora but no one can walk in there without spending at least 50 dollars and lets face it; for makeup that's crazy money. One of my favorite brands they sell there is NARS, it is fantastic quality and has such a wide range of products that are great for anyone of any age. Despite how much I love them some times I just can't bring myself to shell out the extra cash. To save you and myself money I have found the exact products for soooo much less.
Above is a beautiful nature eye shadow in Nepals and will run you 23 bucks. That's a lot of an eyeshadow but it's a beautiful color. Now I like a lot of us have a zillion eye shadows in the same color so I have found the same thing for a fraction of the price. Below is Revlon's Satin eye shadow in Nude Slip and can be bought at any drug store.
Now my find find has to be the best steal ever. NARS has a high lighting bronzer that has a blush in it (above). I looooove it. It cost 36 dollars, that's a lot for a bronzer. Now while I was in the most amazing place in the world; Target, I found this EXACT compact for check this out 3 DOLLARS! It is made by ELF and it is wonderful. They look more alike in person than in the photos.
It's always nice to just throw on a bathing suit cover up and go to the beach so I went on a quest for the perfect one. I first had several different stores taking from here and there but when I came across Top Shop I was done looking. They have such a wide range of styles that will suite anyone of any age.
I love everything in Target, if I could live in Target I would. Me living no where near a Target is a good thing because I would be in debt despite their impeccably low prices. Every time I go to Long Island I run into Target and have at it. On one of my more resent conquests I found the shoes I am now madly in love with, I never want to stop wearing them and oddly enough the almost can be wore with any summer outfit I own. I even was complimented on them on the train the other day and shocked the Upper East Sider by telling her the cost of these beauties. 15 buckaroos!
Me and my boyfriend had a heated discussion today about which color of flame is the hottest; blue or white and it turned out to be white. With summer here white looks great on tan skin and this brings me to my new obsession with rompers.
You can do a lot of this American Apparel romper. You can throw a belt on with it you can go with it at day or at night. A great bandeau top is fantastic when you want to cover up a little more (bandeau). $38 http://store.americanapparel.net/rsaq300.html?cid=178
This romper is by FAR my favorite. It's by Chloe and I love love love Chloe, I die for Chloe. They just can't do wrong in my book. This romper is no exception it's perfect. Well maybe not perfect, it costs $255 ON SALE! Get a load of that. http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/62251#
You can't do wrong with the perfect little black dress and I have found mine. For my 18th birthday I found the American Apparel dress above and fell in love with the mess top. My favorite thing in a dress is when it has a sweetheart neckline and this dress had this but I didn't have to worry about pulling it up while dancing all night. This dress is shiny,skin tight, and pink I highly doubt there will anywhere but my 18th birthday to wear so when they started making it in black I was overjoyed. I will say American Apparel is hard for every body type and person so wear so I found this look in different fabrics and different ranges of prices. The mesh top adds a nice touch to the little black dress which can sometimes be on the boring side.
Above is the super tight American Apparel one which can be a little unflattering because of the fabric but it is also the more fun out of the 3 because it has a shiny fabric. This dress will run you $46. http://store.americanapparel.net/rnt46.html?cid=29
I love getting a bang for my buck so whenever I can find several uses for things I'm happy. I love American Apparel body suits and not only can they be worn as a shirt with shorts, a skirt, or a pair of pants but they can be worn as a swimsuit.
This strapless body suit like the halter can be wore with ANYTHING. I really enjoy wearing thing as a swimsuit. It has a cheeky bottom and a little bit of your tush peeks out. http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa8325.html?cid=30
