Recently while trying different hairstyles I I noticed all the different types of hair gels there are. For what it's worth I'm not very picky about what I put in my hair as long as it does a good job @ what it claims. But I will say my hair which is relaxed is naturally thick and coarse absolutely loves Olive oil. Which is why I purchase the Eco-olive oil gel months ago. While it was okay and laid my hair down I noticed as my hair started to grow out the relaxer the eco-styler alone didn't really stand a chance. It would hold up for about an hour than hair would go from sleek to not that sleek ,but I didn't mind sleek is just a not a look I often go for anyways bcuz of the texture of my. So long story short I was in the Dollar tree a few days ago and came across the Lusti brand of hair products I decided to buy a few items including the olive oil hair gel. It appeared pretty watery so I didn't have high hopes for it. After styling my hair with it over & over again I found it gave my hair a better hold for a longer period of time than the eco styler. Neither gels dry out the hair the eco gel did give me some flaky residue after repeated usage and I'd have to wash my hair before I'd planned on it. I also found both to be great for drier hair types such as mine they both put moisture back into my hair. And lastly I do always use a bit of my hair paste for even more hold along my hair line, Hopefully this post was helpful thanks 4 reading...A.

MAC matchmaster concealer
While strolling through Mac trying on lipstick an associate told me about their new Matchmaster concealer stick.It's about $20 for 3.5 grams of pure excellence.I have been using it for highlighting under my eyes and pretty much all over. Its creamy I don't notice it sinking into my pores which is a must for my acne prone skin. It's very easy 2 blend and easy to build to your desire. It's formulated for oily skin(I think) so it's great for me because I am a super oily chick. It doesn't slide off or melt into my skin it has pretty good staying power in my opinion. And it looks great under setting powder or alone. If you're on the market for highlighting concealer this is so great the price is okay for MAC but I think anyone who tries it out will take a liking to it as I have its a part of my makeup routine. Thanks for stopping by ...A.

Milani
Hey guys! I have recently been on a drugstore roll. This past week I purchased some Milani products 2 Lipsticks and a brow gel. So here we the 2 Lipsticks are from the limited edition enchanted collection. Purchased Topaz and Amethyst both mattes and both look amazing in their own way. They feel GREAT on my lips Not super drying they don't sink into the cracks of my skin and for $4.99/ea I'd say you can't really beat that. My favorite is amethyst it's purple w/somewhat of a blue undertone. Absolutely flattering on every skin tone I've seen it on. The brow gel clear brow gel is great for my brows. I don't have thick unruly brows so I can't really speak on that; but I can say this as a student I am on campus for extended periods of time and this product keeps my brows filled in through out the day w/o wearing off. Thanks 4 reading! Amanda.

Possible Dupe
I recently purchased MAC's Taupe which I ❤ sooo much. it's great for Fall and I think it really compliments a wide range of skin tones so yea I'm thinking every girl needs this in her collection. But it's $16 eeek!! If you're as cheap as I am this will make you think twice. ....However I might have an alternative for a fraction of the cost try out wet n wilds 913C. They are both deep reddish brown with a mauve undertone and are supposed to each be matte but I've noticed a slight sheen to both of them upon application. They're both moderately long wear but the WNW will not last as long but it's still great for the price. Thanks for reading guys ,Xoxo A.

August Favorites
hey guys it's the beginning of a new month and we are only a few weeks away from Fall.
I haven't been going for anything new lately but here are a few of my favorite Beauty items of the moment. I don't hear much about Benefits"That gal" face brightening primer but I purchased a sample size from Ulta and OMG! it's amazing for correcting my dark areas such as the under eye area. Of course I'm still in love w/ my chocolate bar palette I don't think anyone can say anything bad about it. The fresh effects under eye roller is pretty good at making me look more awake than I actually am. It doesn't de-puff as much as I'd like but it's great for waking up the skin around your eyes. The NYC liquid eyeliner(not pictured) is the business! I love it. And the Milani bronzer is so fantastic and versatile I always want to wear it in some way.

Product Regrets
Hi guys and dolls I thought I would share with you a few items I didn't really find myself grabbing for. Not because they are crappy although some of them are but sometimes products just do not rise to the occasion. I had high hopes but was let down. They're all drugstore products which is kind of disheartening because I love to find hidden gems at great prices. I do find myself wishing I had pocketed the money spent on these and maybe tried a new high-end product.
Well some of these products are just not worth recommending some are okay just particularly for me ie maybe the shade is wrong. But I honestly personally would repurchase a different wet & wild e/s trio. The rest of the products I would not. Thanks for reading. Amanda.
