Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish

WOW.
I LOVE nail polish.
We all know that certain cheap brands just freakin' flake off- JUSSSSSSST like their makers...
But when it comes to QUALITY and PRICE meeting up in the middle; You get NIRVANA- BEAUTY- ART..
Now while I love the quality and variety of colours of OPI polishes, the prices are just utterly retarded.
I am [NOT] sorry--- But $10 tax for what? 16mL of beauty? NAHHH BRAH..
Sally, my dear sweet lady, has created polishes that live up to their name.
XTREME WEAR... >>Put your $$$MONEY$$$ where your mouth is, RIGHT??
Well, I work as a cleaning lady p/t and work with my husband on cars the other 1/2 of my work week.
- - - If I get a CHIP, it's because of my negligence when it came to application.
If you apply a modest coat (or two, depending on your choice of shade...) and your CLEAR TOP COAT PROPERLY- This polish lasts you until you HAVE to remove it due to NAIL GROWTH or just cause you need to match a different outfit.>>
The variety of colours matches that of any big name brand and the PRICE for QUALITY CANNOT be beat:
While I am NOT at ALL hating on OPI (cause they remind me of a Hollywood Plumped up Beach-Babe version of Sally; My modest, yet Classy, Sassy Lassy...)
It stands to fact that they charge between $10.99- $14.99 a bottle.
****Where-as Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish comes in at a meer $3.49.>>
MUSIC to my Nails.
11.8mL of perfection in a bottle.
Sally, You done us proud.
Cheers!!

Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

This my friends is a little miracle bottle.
They try to sell you stuff like this from other companies in small 5mL-15mL tubes for like almost $10 with TAX...
FORGET ABOUT IT!!!
Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum is the BOMB if you have FRIZZ-TASTIC hair.
Now [MIND YOU], My hair is not crazy thick, it's long and relatively straight... But because of the dying of hair for 15 years and the recent acts of straightening I have committed against my hair (due to FRIZZ) the frizz remains.
(((IT'S A VICIOUS CIRCLE)))
SOOOOoooooOOoooo I started my search for an aid. A low on the chemicals list aid.
This stuff has Moroccan Argan Oil & Apricot...
Added to damp hair after wash (with preferably the coinciding shampoo & conditioner) this product makes my hair feel like a soft kitty cat...
BEST description::
It's like after you dye your hair (at home) and use that addictive little crap bottle of MIRACLE conditioner they don't seem to put enough of... THAT stuff makes your hair feel goddess-like in the shower, all silky and smooth...
THAT my friends, is how your hair feels after using THIS stuff.
They say it "Stays sleek for up to 3 days" & "EVEN in 97% HUMIDITY"
I CAN ATTEST TO THE TRUTHFULNESS OF THESE CLAIMS.
But I have recommended this product to all my friends, all hair types alike, and I will tell you that They ALL said the same thing.
ESPECIALLY when it came to the HUMIDITY: OUR HAIR NEMESIS>
All Pharmacies carry it.
The price ranges from (dep. on store and sales) $1.99-4.99 (Yeahhhh, the $2 sale didn't last long...)
***(However- Garnier happens to be one of the ALL TIME BEST COMPANIES when it comes to sales and those little stickers on the products saying, "SAVE $1 or $2 NOW!!"
It's a 150mL bottle of HEAVENLY GOODNESS.
Do try it! You have my STAMP of approval. (should that mean anything...)
Cheers!

L'Oréal Paris True Match Super Blendable Foundation

Considering this brand comes in practically a gazzillion shades some may look at as
Glass 1/2 Full OR
Glass 1/2 Empty...
-{My Glass is ALWAYS FULL my pretty Ladies!! ;) }
It really doesn't take you all that long to find your personalized shade if you actually decide one day to spend a few minutes to TEST them with a professional there for aid.! Or by yourself- Just test a small amount on the top side of your hand (opposite your palm) - This area is believed to be a dead-ringer for the shade of your face.
Now I don't know about these new ADs on TV about how ONE product can be suitable for almost every type... Meh... I'd rather have something that I know will work EVERYTIME.
((which I understand is the ADs claim as well... but MEH I say.))
The thing about L'Oreal's "True Match" Products is that they come in either liquid or solid form: To each their own...
And honestly, the word FOUNDATION is defined as:
foun·da·tion [foun-dey-shuhn]
noun
1] the basis or groundwork of anything,
2] the natural or prepared ground or base on which some structure rests.
...'Structure' being the rest of your make-up (if any)...
You want a foundation to be STRONG and STURDY and able to handle anything above it, YET- - -
- - - Seeing as how this is our FACE we're speaking of- - -
You want it to be all of this without being noticed. (Foundations' are BELOW the main attraction- Which isin this discussion, YOUR pretty little face!!!)
I use True Match, Liquid Light Ivory- Warm (W2).
I can rest assured that every morning when I put this stuff on (AND BTW- I need next to nothing- PLUS it's coverage is phenomenal, so you really don't need much) every blemish is covered. AND all without making my Irish Freckles all but disappear!!!
***So it doesn't [A] cover up all that NATURAL beauty, and [B] make you feel as though putting on any OTHER make-up will make this building of a face collapse!!!!!
The bottle I have started to buy is 30mL. There are smaller (and cheaper) options avail. from L'Oreal, however I feel this bottle is the best BANG for my Buck.
It lasts longer than 3 months.
And with a price that can range (dep. on store sales) from between $11.99-$17.99 ** for the 30mL
...That's the DEFINITION of "Bang for your Buck"!!
Found at all Pharmacies and beauty outlets.
Cheers!!

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara
I should 1st off start by saying... Rimmel?>>> KICK @$$... Really, Dearly, Truly. This brand is my #1 Go-To mascara. As with ALL Make-Up, I will continuously be disappointed with price. I'm poor. A 'Frugal' Woman, or so my friends call me. But... +
I should 1st off start by saying... Rimmel?>>> KICK @$$... Really, Dearly, Truly.
This brand is my #1 Go-To mascara.
As with ALL Make-Up, I will continuously be disappointed with price. I'm poor. A 'Frugal' Woman, or so my friends call me.
But there are certain things I just cannot skimp out on: This tube of creamy black god-send is one.
It's AMAZING how much it helps your lashes grow.
...NOW GRANTED::: I am very lucky in the 'LASH' department.. Mine have always been long and many.
However after a 1/2 life of adult make-up usage, it's always nice to know that I can be HELPING my lashes instead of hindering them whilst looking fine in the process!! ;)
The bristles and formula never get clumpy.
Perfect amount of formula on brush every time.
My lashes are long already- so it amplifies them to a degree that astonishes everyone.
And since using this product my lashes have become more plentiful. - - - Like a beautiful lawn sprouting newly fresh grass free of weeds and crab-grass...
"...works both instantly, and overtime With Grow-Lash Complex. Instantly up to 80% visibly longer looking lashes. Up to 117% visibly longer looking lashes after 30 days of use."
^ ^ ^ Quote from their site: http://ca-en.rimmellondon.com/products/eyes/lash-accelerator-mascara
Been using this brand of Mascara for as long as it's been out.
Wish it were cheaper. Like I would ALL make-up... but it is what it is.
Buy at any Pharmacy
about $9.99
Sales sometimes $5.99 ;)
Mascaras are all different as are the people who buy them. Some might not work as well as others.
Trial and error till you gasp, "EUREKA!!!"
- - - As this one did for me.
Cheers!!

On the scale of price when it comes to store-bought hair colour, this product ranges on the more pricey side..
But the fact of the matter will always remain: I have tried every brand there is; store-bought and salon, and when I tell you that I have stuck to THIS brand AND colour for 15 years - - - You should believe me when I say L'Oreal FERIA has the qualities you NEED in a hair colour.
***And Let's NOT forget my RED-HEADED FRIENDS:: The colour RED is a VERY VERY hard colour to keep:
The pigments in the red colour just don't like adapting themselves to your hair.
THIS BRAND HAS EVERYTHING TO KEEP YOUR SHADE VIBRANT....
This box comes with:
1] Shimmering Colour Permanent Haircolour Gel: Gentle, deep conditioning permanent haircolour gel.
2] Shimmering Colour Developing Creme in applicator: New professional applicator tip, enough Feria for longer hair!!!!!!!!!!!!
3] Aromatic Aura: New aromatic scented oil for a soothing sensation and silk like feel.
4] Conditioning Shampoo
5] Shimmer Enhancing Conditioner: Mega-dose of anti-dull Shimmer Enhancing Conditioner for reds.
AND MY FAVE:::
~~6] Feria Colour Booster with patented chromatic colourants: Visible even on the darkest hair!!
******((( IT'S LIKE A MAGICAL TUBE OF FOOD COLOURING FOR YOUR HAIR! THE SUN DROOLS AT THE SIGHT OF IT- - - JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WILL!!! )))******
I am able to dye my own hair in the comfort of my own home
ONCE A MONTH. Not even!!
It lasts a month and a half.
Everything that I am tells me to post this rating to inform you readers that despite the price,
- - - $13.99 reg.
- - - $9.99 cheapest sale price
This product gives you a salon quality job in the comfort of your home.
I have stood by it for 15 years. Same Product, Same colour.
(They added a few bonuses over the years;
ie: Colour Booster {Food Colouring Stuff}, "VO5 Oil"-type additive, and the shampooing-conditioner.)
Try it.
They have a shade for EVERYONE.
Cheers everyone.!!!!
Shamrocka!!
