Juicy Tubes

I was always keen to try out juicy tubes but after reading numerous of reviews claiming that the Juicy Tubes are sheer I was kinda reluctant to purchase one. However, I finally decided I should and picked out the L.E. Orange Barbade. The packing is uber cute and its very easy to apply. When first applied it feels grainy in texture but after a while it feels quite moisturizing and not as sticky as MAC. It makes me want to try other colours and the other juicy ranges.This is how it looks on semi pigmented lips with no base on.(I'm NC25)

Hair Service! and Haul

I've been dying my hair for the past five years and I'v tried countless products to prevent it from getting dry. Salon treatmnets alone are not enough to regenerate moisture; care must be taken through each wash. Finally I've found some products which are really making my hair less frizzy, giving it that silky feel and in turn make it easier to manage. Until a couple of weeks ago I used to followng products in the pic.

Umberto Giannini shampoo, which works wonders. Injection of moisture can be felt immediatly after the first wash, however the more I used this product, the less it seemed to moisturize my hair.

Andrew Collinge Conditoner.
It is moisturinzing, but not enough to make mu hair silky. Nonetheless, the packing is great, it has a little pump, and it hence it lasts ages.

L'oreal studio fix straightening cream. This is supposed to be used before any heat tools are used. The actual cream makes my hair feels greasy, and being that I have long hair, even when I apply a small amount, it feels to weigh my hair down.

Tresemme hair spray; This brand works wonders. It's not expensive and works great. I don't use the hair spray much cause I hate the effects of hairspray in general, but when I did use this, the hold was perfect.

Tresemme Salon silk serum. This just aids in taming frizz, and can be used before using heating tools or even after for the finishing touch. I've used this for months it still is almost full. It has a pump and only a very tiny amount is to be used. Two pumps of this product makes my hair ultra greasy.


HAUL
I picked out a Tresemme moisturizing shampoo. The packing quite sucks as its way to big and heavy to hold with one hand while shampooing. However, considering the size for its price its worth it. And it does work wonders! Together with moisture treatment( the white jar in pic), my hair has got back to feel silky. I use the treatment instead of the conditioner as suggested. For even though it is a moisture treatment it works like a conditioner(3 mins injection boost) and can be used after every wash as no harm will be done. Moreover, I was keen on trying a liquid version of heat protecting product. I picked out the Andrew Collinge Heat defence and am already thorugh half the bottle. It works fine, feels light on my hair, packing is great as it fits the hand perfectly and does its job well(else trough heating tools, the hair would become frizzy).

I also got a curling mousse which I barely use, another nail polish remover, a cheapie one which works. I've tried so many removers which all turned out crappy. The cheap stuff that comes in glass jars are the only ones which seem to work fine.

I also got a pair of fake lashes, which have glitter in them which I ain't really fond of, but I'll see if I can work with fake stuff.
I also got a new mascara. I loathed the Diorshow mascara's clumpiness, and I was either going a Helena Rubenstein one or the Lancome Hypnose. After exmaing their wands I picked out the HR one. Feline lash (See pic)was out of stock so I got the most
similar one, the Lash Queen. Feline lash's wand is thicker and a tad longer than the Lash Queen. However, Lash Queen's wand is great. Being dense it gives volume and it does not clump and the mascara actually feels light.
