April 2021 Empties!

 

April is almost half way over! Honestly, I am not sure what I am counting down for but, the year has gone by incredibly quick. I felt like I barely did or accomplished anything for the last year and half....I can't even say I been finishing up things. Well, this month I finished a few things but, not much.

I bought a few of these aromatherapy bottles from BBW and I am really loving them. The bottles are gorgeous and they smell amazing. I love putting on this cream at night and just breathing it in. I finished a Juice Beauty pore refining mask and it was okay. I am not sure it really did much but, it didn't irritate my skin which was nice.

I love the nose strips from Me Factory. They were easy to use and I loved seeing all the yuckies on the nose strip afterwards. I been trying to do these once every month. I definitely noticed a difference on my nose. I tried the SF lip mask and that was just okay. I am not sure if the gold pattern had any effect.

Did you finish something that you loved? Anything you are planning to rebuy?

Julep Sea Salt Texturizing Spray for Hair

Who doesn’t love what the salty air does to hair? It gives hair an amazing bounce, texture, volume, soften and glow. The paraben and sulfate free sea salt water infused with marine botanicals to provide moisture and nourishment to hair. The spray promises to protect hair from sun damage while touting tousled waves. You can use the spray on either damp or dry hair and follow up with heat for more body. If you want more volume, use the spray on wet hair. And on dry hair it gives hair a piecey texture. I have long hair so I usually have to completely saturate my hair with the product and I really don’t notice much of a difference from my normal wavy hair.  I have mostly used the spray on dry hair, as when my hair is wet I usually like using a  nourishing oil on the ends. The only I noticed that my hair is usually very shiny after applying the spray not greasy looking.

The dry oil mist is packed with nutrients that help protects hair from the damage from heat styling tools while promoting healthy looking hair and shine. The organic bamboo and kendi oil helps extend the life of your color and protect against environmental damage. I spritz on this dry oil mist after towel drying my hair and it reduces the frizzies! [If you have wild hair like mines, you would be extremely happy too] When I use the oil while straightening my hair it gives my hair nice healthy looking sheen and many people ask where I went to do my hair.

The orange scented leave in fluid weightlessly protects  with a UVA/UVB barrier against fading, while making hair shiny and vibrant. While I can’t say for certain about the UVA/UVB filters really work or is just hype – my hair felt shinier and brighter. The spray is packed with organic bamboo and kalahri melon extracts. It is formulated without any GMOs, phthalates, synthetic dyes, sulfates, sodium chloride, gluten, TEA, DEA or parabens. It didn’t leave my hair sticky or greasy like the other hair products I have used.

Suave Professional Dry Shampoo Spray

After reading all the rave reviews about dry shampoo, I decided I should give it a whirl. I decided to give this brand a test drive before I committed to a more expensive brand. This dry shampoo spray is formulated with mineral clay, which helps refresh hair.  I found the formula to be very sticky and have decent scent. It did get rid of some of the oil and added some texture to my hair, but I did not like the way my hair looked or felt. I am not fan of this brand, but I am willing to give dry shampooing another try.  Perhaps, I will try Tresemme Fresh Start or Batiste Dry Shampoo.
