L'Oreal Damage Erasing Balm Review

 L'oreal Total 5 - Damage Erasing Balm


I was so excited when this came out! I love it, it makes me hair so soft and doesn't weigh my hair down! This is a thicker paste type consistency! The container says its supposed to instantly repair the 5 sign of damage- Split ends, weakness, roughness, dullness & dehydration! It claims to repair a years worth of damage in one use! I  don't think it does that but its really moisturizing and weightless! You are  supposed to apply enough to cover your hair and really rub into your hair then comb through to distribute and let it set for 3 to 5 minutes!  I leave it in for 3 minutes!  I would highly recommend this balm, specially if you have hair like mine, my hair is baby fine and really straight but its like straw and extremely dry!

Price $4.99 (varies from place to place)
I purchased mine at target
Next I will try eigther the Moisture Rush Mask from the Power Moisture Line or the Multi Restorative Dry Oil from the Total Repair 5 line! 

P.S.  I'm really sorry i didn't post last Tuesday but my someone intentionally ran over my cat on Saturday killing him and i am still in shock and i cant believe my sweet boy is gone. He wasn't even a year old. I miss seeing his face. He always looked like he was smiling, he always made me smile! :( Its really hard!  R.I.P My sweet little angel!

REN Cleansing Conditioners Review



I Purchased these at Walgreens for $14.99, I decided to wander down the shampoo isle and found them seperatly. Sweet Pomegranate on it own was $9.99 and the Rosemary Mint was $14.99. I wonder what there is such a price difference between the two. I got the double pack for $14.99.... A steal i think so! I basically got the Sweet Pomegranate free! If you cant find these in-store you can go on walgreens website and get them each for $9.99, You save $5 if you buy Rosemary Mint online! Both bottles are 16 ounces. I can tell you now i don't like the sweet candy smell of the sweet pomegranate, I doesn't smell anything like pomegranate and has a menthol smell like a cherry cough drop but the rosemary mint smells so fresh and clean!  I've tried another cleansing conditioner before that i also purchased at walgreens and I HATED it. The directions say Apply 10 to 12 pumps and work from roots to ends and massage for 2 to 3 minutes then leave it in for another 3 to 5 minutes.

The bottle says Most Damage occurs to the hair while shampooing, rubbing your hair causes the damaged areas to crack and tear. This miracle cleansing conditioner melts into your hair. Coconut oil gently removes the surface impurities while restoring natural oils. Hydrating Keratin loaded with amino acids & protein repair damaged and restore strength.  Shea butter conditions damaged areas, replacing protective lipids, resulting in  beautiful, soft, silky hair alive with shine and luster!


My sister used the Rosemary Mint and told me that her scalp burned and everywhere her hair touched her face it also had a burning sensation and she rushed to wash it out and her face still burned a little and it had been a little over 20 minutes.  She also says that in order to cover all of her hair which is about 2 inches past her shoulders she had to use 15 pumps...so if your hairs longer your going to need a lot! I personally rubbed some of the Rosemary Mint on my hands and smell straight up like vicks vapor rub when its on your skin! So maybe it just has a strong menthol cooling feeling, like icy hot...or vicks!  My sister also doesn't like this product. She said her hair feels dirty and ill be honest it didn't look clean!


I used Sweet Pomegranate and right off the bat i have long hair that goes past my boobs and i had to use so much of the product like 2 huge handfuls by handfuls i mean like you would cup both your hands together like getting water out of the sink. It felt like i had dumped an entire bottle of regular conditioner on my head and it has a very strong menthol smell and it felt very cooling..It smells like sugar and vicks vapor rub. My hair while it was still SOAKING wet felt like straw and i deep conditioned the night before. While my hair was damp like towel dried  i could tell where i missed parts of my hair with product when i find a spot i cant brush through, other than that is soft. After my hair fully dried it felt a little dry and looked a bit dull.

By the way My sister and i have really fine hair that doesn't hold style and get oily FAST! All in all neither of us like these products, we just cant use cleansing conditioners i guess!

Would I recommend this product to anyone...I wouldn't mention this in a conversation or anything but im not saying you shouldn't try it, you might actually like it! Everyone's different! I also have never had a good experience with other cleansing conditioners! So ill stick to my Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Shampoo & L'Oreal Conditioning Balm... I'm reviewing the balm next!

Turquoise Nails



I love this nail design. If you can call it that. I was on youtube one day and I follow the amazing Nikkie from NikkieTutuorials. She posted a video on how to do turquoise nails with aluminum foil but I tried foil and failed but plastic wrap works perfectly. You need a turquoise blue polish, I used L.A. Colors Color Splash in Seafoam and Maybelline Color Show (Metallics) in Bold Gold. This would be a great technique for ANY color combination you could come up with! Please watch Nikkies video which is linked below for a full how to!
