Head & Shoulders: Damage Rescue review

Good Ole Influenster sent me a vox box containing a full size of Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner from their new Damage Rescue line. I was excited to receive the shampoo and conditioner as I am the type of person who likes to switch up the shampoo and conditioner that I use here and there. I've already used the shampoo & conditioner once already and my honest opinion on the product is that I LOVE IT!! I actually loved the way it left my hair. It didn't leave it hard and frizzy as a lot of the shampoos and conditioners that I've used in the past have left my hair. It was my first time using the Damage Rescue line of Head & Shoulders and I am going to continue using the product as it does state that you will start noticing your dry/damaged hair become more nourished as it nurtures the hair and scalp with 'Intensive Care" in just four washes and your hair will be left 10x stronger which is a A+ for me.


Over the years my hair has gotten weak and thin, not to mention that I've never had dried itchy flaky scalp (which I do now) , so fingers cross I'm hoping that the H&S Damage Rescue shampoo and conditioner will help my hair out with giving it some much needed TLC.

This is a picture of my hair after 1 use the H&S shampoo and conditioner. Keep in mind my hair is not styled here nor does it have any hair products. 

Below is My review that I posted on my Youtube Channel.

Simple, easy, everyday makeup look


Someone on one of my youtube videos left me a comment asking me if I can do a simple makeup look as a lot of the looks that I do can be a bit to loud and bold for some people. So I did this look which is simple and easy to do and like I've stated it can be an everyday look for some. For this look I used a black eyeliner pencil, black eyeshadow, brown eyeshadow, pink blush and a light pink lipstick w/ a pink lipgloss.


Here's the video on how I created this look.



How I scrunch up my hair. (The Wild Look)


Just wanted to show you guys how I scrunch up my hair to create 'The Wild Look". I do not have curly hair, I have wavy hair so I'm able to sometimes manipulate my hair to look curly. In the video I post the products that I use on my hair to help me achieve this crazy look. LOL


                             Here's the video showing you guys how I create this hairstyle.

Stars @ Night Look!


In this look, I'm using my BH Cosmetic eyeshadow palette once again, along with my NYX Gold Liquid liner and some gold glitter from NYX just to add some shimmer to the look.

How I cut my hair using the CreaClip.

Who doesn't love going to a salon and getting their hair done beautifully? I know I did, but what I didn't like was how much I would have to pay after getting my pampering session. Please know that I am in no way knocking salons or hairstylist, as I know we all have to make a living somehow. I'm just saying that with the way the economy is now a days its nice to get the same effects by doing my hair myself for a fraction of the cost to nearly nada! How do I cut my own hair you may ask? Well a couple of years ago I was searching for ways that I can cut my own hair in layers the way I always like getting it cut but didn't dare touch my hair as my hair was growing longer and I wanted to keep it that way. I didn't want to go to a salon because the last time I went to get my hair cut the stylist cut off a good length of my hair (which needless to say I was not happy) :( So on to my story, as I was searching for ways that I can cut my own hair (which I saw a couple of ladies in the YOUTUBE WORLD cut their own hair), I was kind of afraid to do the same as I thought I was going to mess up my hair, but then I came across this Youtube channel of this product called CREACLIP and saw a few of their videos showing the viewers how with their product you can cut your own hair evenly without messing up your hair. Yes I was interested and I basically watched all of their videos. I went to their official website to see how much they were selling their product and to my amazement If I remember correctly they were only charging $30. I'm not sure how much they are selling their product now but in reality, the product pays for its self in the long run as you and I know that you get charged @ a salon more than the price you pay when buying a creaclip. If any of you guys are wondering, I am not affiliated with their company nor am I getting paid for this review as this is just my honest opinion on this product. I have no complains whatsoever on this product and I encourage any of you guys out there who are willing to cut their own hair to give this product a chance. I don't regret buying it and I'm pretty sure that you won't either. I will post a video on how I cut my own hair using the creaclip. Hope I was helpful to any of you guys out there. BTW I can't find their actual website but you can find their product @ Amazon.com.

                                 This is how the product looks. You get 2 different size clips.

Here's the video on how I cut my hair using this product. Hope that it is helpful to some of you guys out there.

Cute little combo from Tampax, which came with 3 panty liners, 2 tampons and one infinity pad all in a cute wristlet pouch, I was asked to give this product to a friend so they can test it out so I decided to give it to my niece (minus the tampons) as she already goes through her lady days. The design of the wristlet is so cute especially for young girls. She loved it.

 I really do like these pads. I have bought the longer ones as they are better for me in my heavier days of my lady days. PROS: Nice and thin, great light scent. 
CONS: None.
