NOTD: Nighttime Snow  

Monday, December 19, 2011

Today I have a quick french mani!  My friends helped me name this look Nighttime Snow. First I used Seche Base as my basecoat followed by two coats of Wet 'N Wild Black Creme Wild Shine polish. While the polish was still wet, I dipped the tips of my nails into LA Splash Cosmetics Nail Art Glitter in Golden Egg.  I then topped the mani with LA Splash's Glitter Top Coat. Enjoy! 



Love, Peace & Lip Gloss!

Repeat Beauty Buys - Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Replenishing Hair Milk  

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Hola Goddesses!

I wanted to start a new section of my blog where I rave about my love for beauty items that I buy over and over again or that I go back to after trying something new.  All of the items that I will mention in these posts are items that I have purchased with my own funds.  Please share with me any beauty items that you buy again and again in the comments.

For the first of these products that I love and have bought multiples of, is Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Replenishing Hair Milk

I was at Target one day, browsing the hair and beauty isles as I normally do when I have some free time and I came across this product.  Of course coconut oil jumped out at me because that is my number one beauty secret.  When I read the ingredients, there were some pretty good things in it like coconut oil, coconut milk and Shea butter. Green light number one.

Then, you know I had to smell it. Now, those that know me well know that I don't care how fabulous a hair product will spin my hair into silk or whatever;  if it does not smell good, I'm not buying it.  I love to smell like vanilla and coconut so this hair milk was perfect. It smells like sweet creamy coconut milk with a hint of soft vanilla.  It spoke to me; I knew I had to have it. Green light number two.

This was perfect too since I had been looking for a good water based leave-in for when I wear my hair curly.  I tried the Elasta QP Mango Butter, which I liked and it smelled good, but it was too heavy and thick for my hair.  Palmer's has a smooth, light and creamy consistency and it spreads well and evenly throughout your strands. Green light number three; I'm sold.

I fell in love...with the product of course.

I love this product so much that I went back to two different Targets and cleaned them out. I had about 10 or 11 bottles on deck under my sink because I was so afraid that they would stop making it. I have given out multiple bottles as gifts too. It's not only for curly hair though; my bella friend Mandy (@AmandaPizzo1) at Books, Shopping & Rock N' Roll, has straight, fine strands and she uses it too!

The way I use this product is after I have washed and conditioned by hair and sprayed my detangler (a second Repeat Beauty Buy for another date!), I take about a silver dollar amount and disperse it throughout my hair. Then, I detangle with my Denman and apply another silver dollar amount ( I have waist length hair so I use more product).  Then I style as usual. This product also gives tons of slip so detangling is a breeze.

If you have tried this hair milk, leave a comment and let me know if you love it or not!

Love, Peace & Lip Gloss!
