Aussie Moist Conditioner

This has to be one of the best conditioners EVER!!! I bought this family size bottle instead of the regular size, because I knew that this was gonna work on my hair. I tried the 3 minute miracle deep conditioner last winter and kinda liked the feel it. I love this stuff its in my staple of holy grail products now. Even though I'm still experimenting for the last few months of this year with new co-washing cleansers, I will be re buying the family size to keep in the shower. I loved the smell, the creamy thick consistency and the fact that I cold detangle my hair like a hot knife slicing through butter. The price was very cheap for this large bottle ($5.69) that lasted me from July to September. No matter what it always does a great job at keeping my hair moisturized, soft and manageable. I over shampooed my hair trying out a new product and this conditioner saved my hair from having a break down. I'm so glad I gave this a try. I'm finally building a stable hair care regimen and I'm glad that I found a product that not only wow me every time but actually works for my type 4 kinky curly thick hair.

Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Twist and Lock Gel (Product Review)

At first glance I was happy to see this product in the store. Cantu isn't a stranger in my house. I didn't over think this product. I thought to myself, "Ooh a new product by Cantu". Then I took off the lid to smell and look at the physical product. It was the weirdest looking consistency of a product I had ever seen. I'm a product junkie and I've seen alot of different types of products but none with this feel to it. Its a cross between a light whipped yogurt jello and vanilla pudding. The smell is amazing just like the other Cantu for natural hair products. I used this product after my extended wash routine. I applied this product on detangled wet hair, that was conditioned, oiled, and moisturized (SEE L-O-C METHOD POST). Styled in the form of twists for my go to hair style (twist out). I loved this product!!! It's simple and easy to use. The key to this product is not using a lot and rubbing it between your fingers before working it into the hair. I find that this warms the product up making it easier to distribute onto the hair. After I let my twists air dry for 2 days I untwisted them to find my BEST TWIST OUT EVER!!!! My hair was so soft yet firm & defined. The shine from this product was amazing alone by it's self. For 13 oz of product this will be in my stash for a while. I normally have to put a huge dent in my gels, curly cremes, and etc but I have hardly used any of this product. I feel like I'm getting my money's worth on this one.  I would highly recommend using the LOC Method with this product. I enjoyed this product and I will make my rounds to try more from the Cantu Shea Butter for Natural hair line.

ORS Hair Mayonaise (Squeeze Tube) Review

 

Price Point $5.49-$7.49

This product is not a complete stranger to me, but I am new to using it in general. My mom use to use the old formula all the time. I remembered the smell the look and the thickness of it. I was a little weird about trying this since it was a NEW formula. I bought it any way and it set up in my product pile for two months before I actually used it. I waited until I really needed a good protein based deep conditioner I did my normal routine shampooed my hair using Taliah Waajid Total Body black earth shampoo. I section my hair off in detangled twists and applied the product from the back (nape) to the front area. Working the product in using the finger comb method. It was easy to use, thick and creamy like most deep conditioners I buy. One thing I didn't care for was the smell of this product. It wasn't a bad smell it just reminded me of Cool Water cologne that the old men use to wear back in the day with a hint of spice and mayo lol. Never the less I placed my plastic cap on my head and sat under ye' old hair dryer for 30 mins. I wanted to push this products abilities and left it on over night. Old man juice spray smell and all. I rinsed the very next day. My hair was very soft and conditioned. I give this hair mayo it props it's kinda nice. I honestly can't say if I would try this product again. It wasn't bad it just didn't rub me the right way for some reason. Maybe the old man juice spray smell did it. They changed this product from what I remembered as a child growing up. I will say it's worth a try. I ended up cleaning out my product stash and gave this away to my sister in law. She enjoyed this product it soften her hair after having her hair in braids for 2 and a half months. It's a great treatment to put back into the hair. It was worth a shot. No direct hard feelings, but I would give it a new scent.

Tropical Roots Twist Cream by Bronner Brothers REVIEW

 

                                  

Price Point $4.99-$5.99

Normally I like to test out a product at least twice or in a months time  before giving a total review of a product. I follow this protocol to ensure that I give a product a fair chance, testing it out in different ways in my current hair regimen according to my current hair needs or season. This product is going int the PRODUCT HALL OF FAME!!!! I only used it once and I am very impressed. This product was purchased at my local beauty supply store for $4.99. This product has a very light almost tropical pineapple smell. The consistency is a very thick yet creamy white based cream. Which is why I love thicker products for my hair. The product claims to seal, no build up, flakes, lasting hold and maintains different types of natural styles. For once a company got it right. It did everything it said it would do, which is awesome. It left out how great of a shine it keeps. I started using this product with my go to style of a twist out. I got CRAZY definition with this cream. Coming from a woman with type 4 hair its hard finding a product that give us amazing results. You normally have to go through a million products almost to find at least one that's half way good.

Tips when applying this product:

• Apply on wet or damp hair
• Use a light but hydrating leave-in conditioner
• Apply your favorite oils lightly to the ends and shaft of the hair before applying this product
• Use a finger tip of this product on detangled hair for each strand before twisting 

 

Over all I would highly recommend this product. I will be keeping this in my stash of products for the fall/winter months ahead. This is one of the best moisturizing twist/curlcreams I've ever tried. A keeper I say  keeper!!! ENJOY :)  XOXO -GIRLFRIDAY

I'M NOT THE BIGGEST FAN OF HOUSE OF DEREON, EVEN THOUGH IVE SEEN SOME GREAT PIECES HERE AND THERE OVER THE YEARS. I SAW THESE AT CITI TRENDS ON A TRIP TO MY LOCAL MALL. THEY WERE PRICED FOR $7.00 BUT WERE ON SALE FOR $3.00 SO I HAD TO GRAB THEM UP. I'M REALLY INTO THINGS THAT LOOK DIFFRENT OR THAT I DONT REALLY SEE AROUND THE CITY. THEY ARE ON THE HEAVIER SIDE FOR ME BUT I CAN LOOK PAST THAT FLAW. I'M REALLY INTO KEYS OR DANGLING EARRINGS THAT I CAN USE AS STATEMENT PIECES WITH WHAT EVER I WEAR. CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR THESE BEAUTIES VERY SOON. THEY ARE SIMPLY GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL.

I really like these earrings even though the "mesh style" is in this year for jewlerly. I don't normally "fall" or do "trendy" pieces but I thought this pair of earrings looked very unique and diffrent from some of the pieces I was seeing around town. I can't wait to wear these beauties with my cheetah print halter, dark wash skinnies, and of course some nice heels with a great simple black clutch hand bag.

4 EVER YOUNG SEQUENCE MESH NECKLACE
PRICE POINT: $12.99
lOCATION:4 EVER YOUNG

I really don't shop in stores like 4 ever young or 4 ever 21, you get the point. I took a trip to my local mall just to see what new stores were added and to see all the new changes I was hearing about from people I would run into on the street. I bought this necklace as a set with the matching earrings for my sister but in due fashion she liked the matching earrings more than the necklace it's self lol. I don't know whats funnier the fact that she liked the earrings better than the necklace or the fact that I bought the necklace and got the earrings free. (smh) I will be wearing this piece this summer and it will be put to great use. Beside I love edgy jewlery even though I really dont do TRENDING pieces!!!

SIDE NOTE: This photo doesn't do it justice. Looks better in real life.

Haven't tried this line of glosses, even though I'm no stranger to E.L.F. Cosmetic but by what I'm seeing I think it may be love at first sight. I saw these at my local dollar tree store and fell in love. I knew I had to collect them all like they were Pokemon. They look so pigmented and super glam!!! The quality of theses glosses shine through the stylish packaging. I could tell right off that they were the right kind of gloss for me. Thick and creamy with a super touch of glam to them. I was thrilled to have them in my beauty arsenal so much that i haven't even opened them yet. I feel like i'm hording them just a bit : ). These gorgeous glosses were all $1.00 each. E.L.F. IS DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THEIR COSMETIC PRODUCTS!!! Looking forward to finding more E.L.F. products in my local area.
