Drugstore Hair Products Review

I always have a bottle of hair spray and dry shampoo. They are my hair life savers. I love Tresemme Tres Two Spray, it holds my hair and it is cheap. I have tried others but just keep coming back to this one. 

I had never tried Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo. It is ok. Not bad but I have others that I like better. I feel like it doesn't really get of all of my oil unless I put a lot on my hair. 

I got both of my products from Target!!

NXY IS AT TARGET

NXY IS AT TARGET....WHAT!! I was super excited to see the NXY section at Target. SO I had to get something. I decide to get a blusher that I had been wanting for awhile now. I also got a cheap elf eye shadow smudge brush. The review for the elf brush is, it is cheap but works.

Back to the Blusher, I got Terra Cotta. It is a bronze peach color. I love it. It is great for adding a glow to your face. You do have to be careful because to much can look orange and muddy. I think it a great color to have in your collection. NYX blusher run for about 4.99. It is a great deal for a soft and pigmented blusher. Sadly my has now broken, I drop it twice but there is still some blush color so i am using it up. I will buy another one soon. I love NXY blushers, I have a few and all have great color pay off!

I am glad that a small section of NXY products will now be at TARGET!

what i am doing today...

I am testing out the Urban Decay Basic Naked Palette. I am using the Barely Branded Color Tattoo on one eye and Laura Mercier's Wheat on the other eye. Hope this helps the staying power. I like it but I still don't think it is worth it. It may be going back this week.

This Week Little Loves

Hey Y'all, I love this time of year.. It is nice and warm in the day but cool at night. I love wearing long shirts with shorts and grilling out with friends. I hope y'all have a GREAT weekend!

 My new clear tray for my lovely perfumes!  I will show you how I made it and how easy and cheap it was to do next week.

 Two things I am loving in ONE picture. I have always loved green smoothies but I made this one with sun-butter ( which is like peanut butter but made with sunflower seeds.) It was so good! Green Smoothie- almond milk, 2 1/2 banana, handful strawberries and spinach, sample packet of raw pecan butter and a sample packet of coconut oil. I just use what I have, I never really have a real recipe. But this one was super duper yummy!
And I have been loving my double wall plastic mason jar cup that a sweet friend gave me for my B-day.

Finally starting to get my room the way I like it.. including my art!

A cute picture of phone bows that I gave to my friends. I just found my one of my bows and I am in love again!!

Stay Sweet Y'all,
KT

Ulta and VIB 15% Sephora Haul

Ulta:

Limited Edition Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Brush Set

Real Techniques Shading Brushes 

Sephora:

Urban Decay Basics Palette

Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Lover

*Yes, I did test out the new blusher with my new duo-fiber brush, I could not wait to try it out. So that is why the middle brush is peach! I also tested the naked basics palette with one of the shading brushes, that is why it is out and not in the package and dirty!*

This is just a small Haul and kinda a review in one. I got the Real Techniques Brushes at Ulta for buy one get one 50% off which I am pretty sure is still going on. I love Real Techniques Brushes, they are affordable and wonderful!!  The Duo-Fiber set is limited edition so if you want it go look online NOW! I do not know if it is in stores! I do not have anything bad to say about Real Techniques Brushes, they are so good! I just love them all.

From the VIB sale at Sephora, I only got two things because I had just spent a pretty penny the week before for my B-day. I got the Blusher is Lover from Illamasque and it is SUPER pigmented. I love it. It is a light peach and is so different from anything in my collection. I will do a review and swatch soon.
I am not to crazy about the Naked Basics Palette. I kept saying No to getting it and now I know why. They colors are OK but they just did not last on my lids. They faded so bad within the hour. I know it is a lighter and matte look but if I put in the work, I want it to show. I am going to play with it for a little while longer. But as of right now, it is going back.

So there is my little haul and review. What have you gotten lately??
Stay Sweet,

Covergirl's Jumbo Gloss Balm in Apricot Twist

Covergirl's Jumbo Gloss Balm in Apricot Twist is different from all the other lip crayons that I have tried. I have tried Tarte, Pixi, and Revlon. First, it is not a stain, it is a blam so it is different from Tarte and Revlon. Second, unlike the Tarte and Revlon there is not minty feeling on the lips.
I do like Covergirl's  Gloss Balm but I  like my Tarte and Revlon lip stains a little better. Covergirl's Balm is a little drying on my lips but it does not bother me to much. I can still wear it. The staying power is OK but I always bring my lip color with me so I am always putting the lip color on, even if I don't truly need it.

I do really like the color I that I got. I don't have a color like it in any of my Lip crayons. I try not to get any of the lighter shades, since most lip crayons that are light are sheer. The lighter shades are not worth it to me. There are one or two more colors I want from Covergirl, like Watermelon Twist ( I think). I will be picking them up soon!

Overall I think these are nice and pretty lip crayons. I really like the color range but I do like my Revlon  Lip stains a little better!

Let me KNOW what you think of all the New Lip Crayons! And What is your favorite brand and color?

Stay Sweet,

Tarte's Natural Lip Stain in Joy

Tarte's Natural Lip Stain in Joy is super fun for the Summer Months. It is a Orange lip stain that sometimes looks a little pink with an orange tint. I think this stain is great to throw on in the summer with simple makeup and a bold lip.  Tarte's lip tints are minty and feel good on your lips. You can get Tarte's Lip Tints a Sephora, Ulta and Tarte.com. They cost 24$ but I did get this one free from Birchbox.

I will be posting about my birthday Happies next week!

Stay Sweet,
