recent loves

So I'm on yet another nail kick. I've been doing a lot of "accent" nail manicures. I am loving the Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips, or whatever they're called. I have several that I'm playing around with but am loving a couple in particular: Misbehaved, Laced Up, and Raise a Glass. I use the nail strips on my ring fingers and paint the other eight with some other color.

I'm particularly loving Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze with Misbehaved, and I think Re-Freshmint by China Glaze with Laced up. Fabulous. Right now I'm wearing Essie's Lilacism with Sally Hansen's Girl Flower. A little spring-y/Easter-y but definitely cute.

Lately I'm also taking some chances with my hair routine, and by chances, I mean changes, but for me those two are interchangeable. I'm back to using my Herbal Essences Drama Clean shampoo and am using the It's a 10 hair mask/deep conditioner every other day, I'm trying really hard not to wash my hair every day. I'm still using my It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product religiously, as well as the Argan Magic Intensive Hair Oil. I've also added in the Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Anti-Breakage Serum. I use a pea-ish sized amount of the Argan Magic Intensive Hair Oil and the Organix each and smooth them through my hair after I've used the It's a 10. I've been having issues straightening my hair lately because the ends are dry, so I also picked up the Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy Flat Iron Spray. I've tried it out twice (once the second day after washing) and this stuff is freaking amazing! I spray about 1-2 pumps into my palm and run it through my hair, section by section and it makes my hair silky, soft, shiny and not frizzy, even after straightening. I'm in love. The last thing I picked up was the Argan Magic Nourishing Hair Cream and I've tried it once. This is great for texturizing, it's got a light hold and it doesn't make my hair greasy, but it doesn't necessarily moisturize for me. It didn't do anything bad either, I'm just on the fence on this one.

That's about it for me recently. Kind of boring. Haven't been wearing much make up because of finals and all that. Till next time.
