First up: hair care!
L-R: Dove Refresh + Care dry shampoo, Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray, Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque
I can't get enough of the Dove dry shampoo! The smell is lovely and I find that it does just enough to get rid of the oil on second-day hair. This heat protectant, however, was only meh for me. I found it serviceable, but nothing special, and I found that my hair was a lot more prone to tangling when I used this. In a pinch, though, it works just fine. I love, love, love the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque; this pot lasted me ages, so I'm more than willing to spend the hefty price tag for this product, especially since it works so beautifully.
On to the body products!
L-R: Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash, Neutrogena Fast Absorbing Hand Cream, Soap & Glory Righteous Butter, Purlisse Moisturizer, Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser (face down, because I'm professional like that)
This body wash was right up my alley: super moisturizing and not overly fragranced. I purchased the coconut and jasmine scent to replace this one, but I'm not loving it as much, so when that one is gone I'm planning on going back to the original.
The Neutrogena hand cream is an old stand-by; the scent reminds me of my mom and I find it's a great easy cream to keep in my bag. This Soap & Glory body butter smells just lovely and the jar lasted me quite a while, but when it was time to repurchase I went with a coconut scent from Ulta; it's more than likely that I'll return the S&G option at some point, though.
I did not care for this Purlisse moisturizer at all. To be fair, it is formulated for dry skin and I lean more toward the oily side, but it just wasn't worth the hassle in the end. Cetaphil is another old stand-by; I generally keep a mild cleanser on hand for post-workout cleansing.
Finally: makeup!
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser, Maybelline The Rocket, Too Faced Lash Injection, L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil
The only product out of this bunch that I didn't love was the Too Faced mascara; a friend got me a TF gift set for Christmas that included this little guy, but try as I might, I just couldn't make it work for me.
Have you finished any good products lately? Anything you would caution people to pass on?
