My Hair Routine

 

I'm finally doing this post a while ago Jennifer from SpicedBeauty.com asked if I can do a post like this and I wanted to wait until I got my routine down because I'm always changing it up. This is the routine that I have been doing for months now. I hope you all enjoy this post.

 

 

 

My Daily Routine

I don't really comb or tend too much to my hair if I'm just staying home and doing nothing, but if I'm going out I moisturize my hair with Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil or Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Spray. The virgin coconut oil comes in a solid form and I use a small amount warm it up in my hands first so it melts then I apply it to 3/4 of my hair but I mostly focus most of the product on my ends. A small amount of this it great if you use to much it will make your hair look greasy and not shiny. As well there are also many benefits of using coconut oil in your hair like getting shiny hair, building your hairs strength and there are many more. The next product I use regularly is Macadamia Healing Spray I use this whenever I'm styling my hair with heat because it does protected your hair from hot tools or as a substitute for the coconut oil because it's faster to use since it's a spray. 

 

My Washing Routine

Once again I use coconut oil when I wash my hair, I warm it up in the microwave until its warm and apply it to my hair and leave it in for 15 minutes before I wash my hair or sometimes I warm up the product in my hand and apply it to my hair and leave it in for a night then I wash my hair in the morning. I always apply this to about 3/4 of my hair starting from my ends and working my way up.  Then next before I actually wash my hair, I comb my hair to get out any tangles. Then I section my hair into 4 parts and I wash my hair in sections. The shampoo that I've be using for months is Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo and I apply this only to my scalp as I have read it better to only shampoo your scalp and to condition your ends. Once I'm done then I move onto my conditioner the one I'm currently using is MOA Melaleuca Omega-3 Argan Moisturizing & Repair Conditioner but I'm always changing up my conditioners this is just what I currently have been using, which I have to add this conditioner smells amazing I think it's the best smelling conditioner I have ever tried so far. Like with my coconut oil I only apply this to 3/4 of my hair and I start at the ends of my hair working my way up. I don't apply any conditioner to my scalp but I do apply it to the back of my head because I feel like the hair back there doesn't really get a lot of TLC. I think most people forget about the little baby hair that is at the back of your neck. Then I let that stay for around ten minutes, whenever I wash my hair I always listen to music because I hate to wash my hair and listening to music makes it more fun lol so I leave my conditioner in for 3 songs which songs are usually around 3 minutes and 3 songs is around 10 minutes give or take a few minutes. When I rinse the conditioner out I only use cold water because cold water helps lock in shine I've been told by a friend when I was in middle school. I also gently comb out my hair as much as I can to get out any tangles with my Macadamia No Tangle Brush.  

 

My After Wash Routine

After I wash my hair and it's time to blow dry I use my healing oil spray to protect my hair and I also apply Macadamia Natural Oil No Tangle Spray to the section of hair I'm working on. I also section my hair when I blow dry it because for me this method is easier. Once I'm done I spray that section of my hair with KQC Thermal Shine Spray and I straighten my hair then move onto the next section and so on.

Favourite Products Of 2012

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I hope this new year will bring lots of joy!

Today I wanted to share with you all my favourite products of 2012, this may be kind of a long post and there are a lot of products that have made it onto this list :)

 

 

 

Nails

 

1. China Glaze For Aubrey is a beautiful teal colour, looks every much like the colour of a tiffany's box.

2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 270 Lacey Lilac is a pastel purple, it's one of my favourite colours out of these. I wear it all the time.

3. Sally Hansen Innocent Nude is a nude polish, I like to wear this when I'm not really in the mood to wear any colour but I still want my nails to look polished.

4. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink I like wearing this colour on my ring fingers when I paint my nails because I feel it add something extra. Rockstar Pink is a glitter nail polish with pink, purple, gold, blue and red glitter. I'm actually been wearing this colour this week on my ring finger and a pink polish on the rest of my fingers.

5. Nicole By OPI Kardashian Kolor Khloe Had A Little Lam - Lam is another colour that I just love I also wear this all the time. I like that its a dark green.

6. Nicole By OPI Kardashian Kolor Hard - Kourt Fashionista is a dark brown polish almost close to black.

7. China Glaze Techno 816 is sparkly semi clear nail polish and I love wearing this over any of my polishes it is great for when you get tried of the polishes that you have.

8. Essie Aruba Blue is a vibrate blue nail polish.

9. Julep Brooke is a semi clean polishes you can wear it over another colour if you like. I however like to wear it over a nude polish because the clear polish does have a bit of a purple tint to it and there are also purple and pink sparkles.

10. Julep Taylor is one of those colours that you can't tell if its purple or if it blue and its also a thick polish. One or two coats is really all you need!  

 

 

Lips

 

1. Revlon Lip Butter Pink Truffle is a nude pink colour, goes on easy and help keeps lips moisturized.

2. Revlon Lip Butter Sugar Plum also goes on easy and help keep lips moisturized but this colour is a plum purple.

 

1. MAC Lipstick Dare You is a red lipstick, I think this tone of red works for my skin tone.

2. MAC Lipstick Hang Up out of all of my lipsticks and lip glosses this one is my fav fav fav I just LOVE this colours it's a wine tone lipstick.

 

 

Face

 

1. MAC Green Gel Cleanser I have been using this for I think almost three months and I have notice that this cleanser helps with my oily skin its not so oily in the morning when I wake up, sometimes however it does dry out my skin in my t-zone, but I have also notice that the pores on my nose have become smaller with this cleanser.

2. Eve Pearl HD Dual Foundation In Dark this foundation goes on so smooth and its easy to blend it comes with two tones of foundation one darker then the first which it great because you can blend the two tones together or use them to contour.

3. Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder is the only powder that I have been using for a why'll I LOVE this stuff. I have a detailed review that you can read here.

4. Maybelline Dream Fresh Beauty Balm is great for light application of foundation, blends into your natural skin tone well but also help to hind imperfections. Also has SPF and I would recommend this for someone who doesn't like foundation because this doesn't even look or feel like your wearing anything. 

5. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Café 30 is the only concealer I now use sometimes I only wear this on my face and nothing else beside my Ben Nye Powder.

 

 

Eyes

 

1. Red Cherry 213 don't know to say but I love these lashes!

2. Velour Lashes Are Those Real are the best looking lashes I have tried the only thing that sucks is accidently when I was cleaning the glue from off the lashes base some of the hair came off in the middle of one of the lashes which sucks. This has never happened to be before with other lashes my friend said maybe they were a bad pair but they look so good when you wear them that I had to add this to my favourite list. I will be buying another pair to replace the ones the broke and hopefully this wont happened again.

3. Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express separates my lashes so well, I really like the mascara, not a lot of product comes out on the brush with help with not getting any clumps when you use this. I haven't found this mascara to clump at all but the brush however it to big to use on your lower lashes without getting any mascara on your skin.

4. MAC Paint Pot Indianwood I like that this is a multi use product you can use paint pot as primer, this is my favourite eye shadow that I have.

5. Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive it great it gets tacky quickly and I love using this adhesive for my lashes.

 

 

Body

 

 

1. Lady Gaga Fame Fragrance is a black liquid perfume describe on the Sephora website as black like the soul of fame but invisible once airborne. This perfume is a floral, fruity and lustful for little monsters.

2.Vera Wang Princess Fragrance I don't really know how to describe this scent as on the Sephora site there so many words used to describe the smell but I will just say I wear this most out of all of my fragrances.

3. Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Fragrance Mist smells so good I LOVE this smell so much I like to spray this around my room or the house, to bad Victoria's Secret doesn't make candles because if they made this scent into a candle I would buy it.

4. Victoria's Secret Pink Super Soft Pink Bold & Playful Hand & Body Cream I love this lotion it smells amazing to me, I wish I could find this lotion I don't think they make this any more as when ever I'm in a Pink store I always look for this and I can never find it, in store or online and I'm running out.

 

 

Hair

 

1. Julep Elixir is a multi purpose you can use this on your skin and hair.

2. KQC Thermal Shine Spray I haven't had this for a long time and I just got it last month but I really like this it add shine to your hair and its a protection spray for blowing dry and hot styling tools.

3. Macadamia Natural Oil No Tangle Brush I use this everyday it's the best brush ever!

4. Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Spray I like this I feel like this add shine to your hair and just adds life back into your hair when it's dry looking or dull.

5. Macadamia Natural Oil No Tangle Spray this is not really a spray it is more of a cream that sprays out and I just rub the product together and put it in my hair, its a good product. I would buy this over and over.

6. TreSumme Styling Putty prefect for getting fly a ways to stay down and you don't need to use a lot of product.

Macadamia Natural Oil Products Review

 

So I have been looking into getting a new brush because the one that I have I hate and it pulls my hair and I just never liked it. Why'll I was watching one of my fave youtube channels nguerriero19 in her favorites video she was talking about her Macadamia no tangle brush. So I did some research and I decided that this would be the new brush that I would get. I ending up getting more then the brush because Macadamia Hair had a limited time offer to buy there No Tangle Pre Styler Spray and you get a free No Tangle Brush.

 

 

 

 

Review

First I'm going to start of with talking about the service I received from Macadamia Hair. I don't ever talk about service because I always had normal service when shopping online nothing really special to write about but that wasn't the case this time. Now I purchased this in August on a Friday, I'm sorry I don't remember the date it was but I know for sure it was on a Friday. Ordering was easy, but what I didn't like is that for 2 weeks I had no idea were my package was. I didn't receive any information about shipping. I didn't contact the company because in there email to confirm your order it does say your order will be shipped in one to two weeks. So after the second week of still receiving no information on my order being shipped I contacted the company by email I didn't get any response, then I contacted them by phone and I had to leave a message and someone would get back to me. I think the next day I got a call back from them and I was told for some reason my order hadn't been shipped for some reason it was forgotten. But the lady on the phone was every nice and said they would ship my order out right away and she also gave me two free samples. So that was my experience with the service from this company and then I also had problems with UPS about paying a brokerage fee which was $14.25. Oh my goodness lol over all it took almost I think close to a month for me to get my order. Now on to the review of the products.

 

This is one of the samples I received Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque and the other sample I received is Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment which I have not used yet, so I will not be reviewing it. This product is designed for dry damaged hair it helps rebuild the hair leaving the hair to be deeply nourished. When I opened this package and smelled the masque it smelled so good, I really liked the smell of it. This is a product that I would buy in a full size. It made my hair feel so good, my hair felt light weight and looked shiny. I could not stop touching my hair. However this is an intense treatment it does say on the package that it should be used no more then twice a week. This masque is combined with macadamia oil, argan oil, tea tree oil and chamomile oil and it's also alcohol free, cruelty free and paraben free.

 

Next up is the Macadamia Natural Oil No Tangle Pre Styler, I was excited about the product because when I wash my hair it gets so tangled I believe more then the average person. I was surprise when I discovered the this isn't really I spray the formula of the product is a creamy texture and it does spray out of the bottle but it's a cream that is sprayed out. I do believe that this does help to detangle my hair as when I first use it, I got the worst biggest tangle in my hair after I had washed it and I was going to cry because the tangle was so big I was thinking I was going to have to cut a big chuck of my hair out. But thankfully that didn't happen. I like the packaging of the bottle I think its pretty cute and the product has a floral scent to it and feels light weight in my hair. This is a cream and it's doesn't spray out like a liquid therefore when I use it I spray it on 3 areas of my hair. The sides of my head and the middle and then I rub it in my hair a bit then I use my brush to get out the tangles.

 

Last is the No Tangle Brush, I love this, I like the design it's easy to hold in your hand it your holding it at the head of the brush or by the handle. The bristles are flexible and there are short and long. This brush is said to help eliminate pulling on the hair, split ends and breakage. I don't know how this would eliminate split ends but this brush for sure doesn't pull on my hair like my other brush did. It gets my tangle's out of my hair with out hardly any pain and I have notice less fall out with this brush. The No Tangle is recommend for people with fragile hair or chemically treated hair.

Overall I don't know if I would purchase from them online but I will try and see if there are any retailer that sell there products, but if I couldn't find a store the sells there products that was close to me I might consider buying from them online. As for there products so far so good, so I would buy there products again.
