Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave In Conditioner

The last time I got my hair cut, I was so embarrassed. It took 5 minutes, a wide tooth comb, a round brush and a stylist with forearms the size of Popeye to comb through my hair. And I have straight hair.

Years of being common law blonde have taken it's toll on the noggin and the hair. I'd been using a spray-in conditioner to detangle, but my hair needed some extra help. I'd been reluctant to use a cream leave-in because I didn't want my hair to be too weighed down or greasy.

Feeling impulsive and needing to buy something that my boyfriend wouldn't want to share (as opposed the gummy bears that I already had in my hand), I bought Neutrogena's Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave In Conditioner at my local grocery store.

The Fierce Four

Pros: It actually did leave my hair silky to touch and was light weight enough to be able to reapply throughout the day without looking like Steve Lavin.

Cons: Sometimes I felt the need to reapply minutes later because I didn't think I had used enough. When I finally convinced myself I had, my look great for the rest of the day.

Price: About $8 or so

Rating: Fierce-I'd buy it again!

Jell-O shot anyone?

I got a tip from an IT guy here at work. (He was working on my computer, and I said to look past the beauty blog I was working on...) He said he's heard that Jell-O is a great lip stain. Is this the powdered Jell-O or the already formed Jell-O? I am always dying to try a new lip stain. I have tried a few, like Benetint, but it just looks like I bit my lip and the blood has dried and cracked into my lips. I want to look like I have been eating berries. Is that too much too ask?

Any great lip stains out there? Anyone?

You've got to know when to hold em'.

I am loving Benefit's Bluff Dust. I don't have rosacea, but if you do, buy this. I have an uneven complexion with patches of red and this takes them completely away. I sometimes cover with my loose powder, or just use this alone.
It's the first thing I've found that doesn't wash me out, but still gives me the concealer I need in a loose form.
I tried the You're Bluffing stick and hated it. That may be better if you have really red, patchy skin. I, on the otherhand looked like I was about to head out to combat.

She's coming to America...

I have to sit down for this one! It looks like there is a great possibility that Jill Stuart will be bringing her cosmetics stateside. Currently these stellar designers’ products are exclusively sold in Japan. So spread the news and get excited about America's newest cosmetic sweetheart. If they are half as fabulous as her clothes we must all rush out and purchase.

The Love of My Life...Kerastase

As a Southern girl forced to deal with the hell that is 100% humidity, this product has saved my life. I have been using it religiously for six months and it has literally changed the texture of my hair. It gives my hair the most amazing shine and smoothness. I naturally have curly hair but with this gem you would never know it. It costs $34 but lasts; I am still on my first bottle. You can go to their website to find a salon near you that carries this hair miracle.

Luckily I didn't have Worchestshire-but I do get all new eye make up

Friday morning I woke up with my left eye stuck together. My lashes, despite my use of mascara and curling, have never been so long as to weave themselves together. So, unfortunately that meant that I had an eye infection.

After insisting that there was a difference between pink eye and conjunctivitis (there isn't), I finally relented to having pink eye. At which point I was reminded of one of the first South Park episodes that I ever saw where combining worchestshire sauce and embalming fluid makes people into zombies. The correlation is that the school nurse diagnoses everyone with pink eye.

With pink eye comes panic and two days of wearing my glasses. All of this could've been a bad weekend until I realized. . .I have to toss out my old daily eye make up! No more Wet N Wild-which I still think is a good product, but I'm ready to move on.

Wet N Wild eye shadow Trios are a great, inexpensive basic eye shadow that doesn't get absorbed too much by your skin and lasts a fairly decent amount of time. The colors coordinate in a pinch and for I was able to play with blue eyeshadow shades without feeling like I'd lose a lot of money if my eyes looked like a jean jacket.

So, now I need suggestions. I tend to go for neutrals or pinks for my eyes. What should I upgrade to for my new daily face?

My Daily Face Part Tre

Where to begin...I am an avid beauty junkie so I have pretty strick regiment morning and night.
-I wash my face every morning and night with Laura Mercier One-Step Cleanser and I exfoliate times a week with the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion home system. I follow up with LaMer cream and the Lifting Face Serum and Intensifier just like grandma, I am telling you this stuff is mucho $$$ but it is seriously amazing!
-I use Chanel pressed powder but I wet the applicator to make it go on a bit more foundation like-very fierce!
-I follow up with Lorac Bronzer and Nars Orgasm blush. I also heart Nars Laguna Beach bronzer but Sephora is always sold out of it!
-My eye shadow depends on the day. Right now I am loving the Laura Mercier palette in Rainforest.
-I have been a devoted Bobbi Brown gel eye liner follower for 10 years and it has never done me wrong. The stuff is sweat proof, tear proof and most importantly DANCE proof!
-I end with a coat or two of Lancôme primer and Definicils mascara, unless I am in budget mode and I go L’Oreal.

-My lip process is usually a MAC color to my liking or just plain Burt's Beez

So that is my daily face in a nutshell. I will leave you know to let this abyss of knowledge and wisdom soak in so you too can have the most fiercest of face!

Happy Valentine's Day!
