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!

BLK Water Review




I was walking through my local Winn-Dixie and walked past this and at first i ignored and but i went back a week later and decided i had to see what it was! Its Black Water! NO really it is! Its called BLK. Its an Alkaline Fulvic Trace Infused water..which makes it naturally  black. So i bought it for $2.99! I was terrified to drink it, i thought omg im gonna get sick or its going to taste gross until all the employees at the grocery store said they tried it and they lived! I tried and to my surprise it doesnt taste like anything at all...it tastes like water! I just tried  it at first still afraid to drink it but i lived! I also found a hidden message on the bottle! If you tilt the bottle ater you have drank a little of water its actually brown......If you cant find it in your grocery store you can purchase it from amazon.com!
You can read for yourself about this water at blkbeverages.com/ 
P.S. You can click on my pictures to make then HUGE and you can actually read the sides of the bottle as well!

Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy Nail Polish Duo Review



Today I discovered A Product from Revlon called Moon Candy....It says its a nail art product! I don't think this is a nail art product. I Love this the only thing i HATE is the price! My duo is on Supernova, Its a dark creme grey on 1 end label #1 and a clear topcoat with pink ice chips aka fake flakies on the other #2. So if you haven't figured this out you paint your nails the grey color first and let fully dry then paint on the ice chips! I don't think this is worth the money but i got mine on sale. You can buy the exact same color of grey polish from Maybelline Color Show in Impeccable Greys which i love and buy ice chips online in ANY color pretty cheap. You can find Ice Chips from DollarNailArt.com under the glitter tab for $1.00! So i can recreate this exact product for 4 dollars and get A LOT more product! Both sides of this duo are 0.26 FL. Oz.. total!  There are more photos & swatches at the end!

Worth the price NO because your not getting a lot of product! Its regularly $7.99, I got mine on clearance at target for $5.42 plus i had a dollar off coupon! Also like i said above can EASILY be recreated!

Available at Walgreen,Rite-Aid & Target

Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Candle Review

Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Candle

A harvest fave returns for fall! Our delicious, one-of-a-kind recipe combines sweet pumpkin pie, rich vanilla cream and a touch of cinnamon.


I dont know where to begin. This smell like heaven to me. This is a very foody type scent. If you like your house to smell like baked goods and things you'll love this! It reminds me so much of my grandmas pumpkin pie she used to make! Shes still alive and i love her to death but her pies are a pain to make! When i smell this candle you get pumpkin pie and cinnamon right off the bat but if you inhale the scent i mean really smell it like taking a deep breath you will smell vanilla ice cream! Hopefull you can smell vanilla, I can oddly sort out the different notes in fragrances! It reminds me of thanksgiving. I don't like this scent in the soap or lotion because it didnt smell at all, there was no scent to the lotion! I like it in the scent portable and the oil! LONG story short if you love pumpkin pie you will love this candle! Its a fall must have!

Price:$3.50
Available at Bath and Bodys Works Stores, BathandBodyWorks.com & Amazon.com

Sinful Colors "Sinfully Magentic" Nail Polish Review

Sinful Colors Sinfully Magnetic Nail Polish in Polar Opposites

In the photo above this is what the bottle looks like as a whole! Not very appealing but still eye catching. Polar Opposites is grey with blue micro shimmer. Sometimes its purple specially indoors in a poorly lit house but its really hard to notice! Its opaque in 1 coat. 1 of the downsides to this is if the wind is blowing outside or you have the ceiling fan on..There cant be any air blowing.... the magnet wont work. I have to paint my nails when the wind isnt blowing. The directions say 2 coats but thats a waste! The magnet creates the starburst effect show below! 
In the photo above i held the magnet up to the bottle to give you the full effect! If you find this product detach the magnet from the cap just twist the magnet off..Its supposed to be glued on but its impossible to use when its still attached to the cap...you will paint your hand and its a mess! The magnet looks like an oversized ring and hold it to the bottle because the picture on the tag doesnt read true neither do the display photos. I recommend holding the magnet to the bottle before buying! 
 This is Polar Opposites on my nails! The only downside to the product is that it doesn't seem to dry very fast to try not put to much on!

Price-$4.99
Available at Bartell Drugs, Discount Drug Mart, Duane Reade, Fred Meyer, Fruth Pharmacy, Harmon, Kinney Drugs, Marsh , Meijer, Navarro, Rite Aid, Roundy’s, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Wegmans in the United States!

Dr.Bronner's Magic All-One Organic Lip Balm Review

Dr.Bronner's Magic "All-One" Organic Lip Balm(Peppermint)

This is hands down my FAVORITE lip balm! This is the most moisturizing balm Ive ever use and i have used a lot of lip balms. I own about 25 right now! Its not an overpower peppermint smell or taste. This product is USDA Organic and is not tested on animals! I also have Naked, which has no scent or flavor and its not as moisturizing as this one. My entire family LOVES these lip balms so much so that my stash of them is disappearing! I don't mind sharing!

The two things that drew me to this product is that its certified organic and isnt tested on animals!

Other Flavors Include - Naked, Orange Ginger, & Lemon Lime
Price-$2.99
Available at Target & drbronner.com

INGREDIENTS:
Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Organic Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Organic Mentha Peperita (Peppermint) Oil, Tocopherol

Bath & Body Works Concetrated Room Spray Review

 Autumn Concentrated Room Spray


Overview - Get festive this fall with our heartwarming fragrance that unites the beloved, autumnal scents of dark pomegranate, sweet red apple and woodsy fir balsam.

I Love this scent! I don't smell apple at all, I only smell Pomegranate and Balsam. Its reminds me of Midnight Pomegranate. I think the owl wrapping on the bottle is adorable! I was really excited to use this...until I sprayed it! It says in 2 quick burst of amazing long lasting fragrance. I warn you It will not spray the first time you press the nozzle..i learned the hard way and sprayed a little to much the second time I pressed the nozzle. When it says its concentrated its not kidding, this is a very strongly scented product. The website says that there is over 400 hours of scent in each little bottle! 
The only problem i had with this product is the strength of the scent, my room is small and the scent was over powering, so much so that the back of my throat started to get irritated and I almost started coughing! I had to open the windows. I felt like inhaled smoke! So be very careful. If you have a small home i wouldn't recommend spraying twice like the directions say! All that aside I love it and I would buy more!

Price-$5.00
Available at BathandBodyWorks.com & in Bath and Body Stores for Fall 2012

Blistex Moisture Melt LipBalm Review

Blistex Moisture Melt


I found this product by accident today and had to try it. I am a chapstick junkie so i couldn't  resist. I've been using it all day and I do not like it! The packaging says Long-Lasting Hydration, Melting Beads of Aloe & Shea Butter. This is very drying on my lips and you get maybe 1 bead per application. My lips felt smooth and not flaky but very dry, even drier than before I used it! The beads are supposed to dissolve into lips for a moisturizing boost. My sister said after using the product her lips felt numb like she used a lip plumper and was super sticky like she ate a lollipop! I've never noticed this before on any lipbalm or chapstick with SPF but the back of the package says this product is only proven to prevent sunburn, NOT skin cancer or skin aging....Last time i checked you put on sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and premature aging. 


Price - $1.59
Available at Target Stores
