L'Oreal Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner

So I first heard of this product from VintageOrTacky a well known guru on YouTube. I wanted to try it for myself and see if it did help keep my color a little longer. I have red hair so it fades a lot quicker than other colors. Well at least on my hair it does. And for some odd reason none of the dye I put on my hair stays since I gave birth to my daughter....Not even BLACK dye! Anyways....that's another story lol.....
This is the one I am currently using it's the smoothing one.


So I have tried this product for almost a month now and I must say it really does keep my hair color in longer. I started using this product the same day I dyed my hair which was four weeks ago Saturday. I use to use Aussie shampoo and conditioner, the moisture one. It stripped the color right off my hair within the first week. The L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner does smell like rosemary and juniper so if you are not a fan of the smell I wouldn't recommend it. The smell does not linger in your hair once it dries, well at least for my hair it doesn't. I don't find the smell to be overwhelming. I kinda enjoy the smell of rosemary, it kind off wakes me up in the morning.

So if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the higher end shampoos that does about the same job as this one I would definitely recommend the L'Oreal Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner line. This line does have different shampoos for every type of need. So if you check them out let me know how it worked for you! :)

My DIY: Nail Rack

So as I had mentioned in the previous post I looked up how to make a nail polish rack because my nail collection grew and my current storage was too small to hold all the nail polish I have. So with out further a do...here it is:





It is pretty easy to make and inexpensive. It's made from foam board. You can buy the color foam board, but I wanted the white. I used lace that I had and added it, but you can pretty much decorate it however you like. It took me about two days to complete but that is because I have 3 little ones and I have to tend to their needs. But I believe it shouldn't take longer than 4 hours and that might be too much. Mine measured 26L X 20W  but if you buy the big piece of foam board you can easily make it bigger or smaller. I am still wondering if I should add rhinestones or not?? Would it be too much?? Well hope you like....Till next time!!  ^_^

Ausie Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner

Product claims (as in on bottle): This hard-working leave-in conditioner, accented with Australian Silk Protein, puts in overtime to keep hair strong against damage. 



I want to review this product because I feel it's one of a few products that I've tried and actually work. I have bought this product 3 times from my initial purchase. I use it right after I get out of the shower while my hair is still damp. From the first time I used it I could tell that my hair was a lot softer from how it normally is. My hair is dry and a bit damaged from bleaching and dying my hair constantly and I feel this product has made all the difference in my hair. It is a lot more softer and shinier. The products doesn't say it will give your hair shine, but for some reason I have notice and I did notice it from the first use that my hair did become shinier. So if any of you are interested in trying this product I would definitely give it a go! I would say it's a must try! And I don't know if the product being so good has anything to do with it being sometimes difficult to get a hold of. I have had to go to different Targets to find it....but worth it :)
