My Briar Rose

I received a coupon for a free box of this hair colour from their Facebook promotions they were having a few months back. I can't remember how long ago it was exactly since it seems like it took forever to arrive in the mail. When checking out the various shades online it seemed like they had a great selection with 24 different colours to choose from. The reality though is that all the stores I went to maybe had 12 different shades on display. Only two of those being reds. I was a bit disappointed in this as I only had the option of doing Light Red Brown (too orange looking on the box), or Deep Cherry Brown (looked kind of purple on the box).  I hunted everywhere looking for Dark Red Brown but no stores around me carried it, so the other night I went and picked up the Deep Cherry Brown and hoped for the best. I knew if I went with the lighter colour it would end up turning orange on my hair since I have a lot of natural reddish orange tones in my hair to begin, and colour doesn...

I received this product as part of a set of three products to review from Chick Advisor. I was wearing of the leave in conditioner aspect of this product, and I am not normally a hair product type. The scent of this product is the same as the shampoo and conditioner which is great, though I'm not sure how well the scent will pair with other shampoos. I am sure to run out of the shampoo and conditioner before the spray. I have been using this product before straightening my hair so far. I love that this product doesn't leave my hair feeling crispy like I put product in my hair. That is the main reason I don't use hair products because I hate the way they make my hair feel. I find it leaves my hair looking a bit smoother when I straighten it. I have wavy/curly hair naturally, and since cutting it shorter my hair is definitely more curly which makes this product almost a must to keep the frizz to a minimum. I would definitely recommend this product as long a...

Like I mentioned awhile ago I puchased the perfect 10 hair colour with bonus pantene expressions shampoo. I dyed my hair last Sunday and it turned out amazing perfect colour everything. BUT now its a week later and there is barely any colour left in my hair. :( I don't really know if its just because I washed my hair too soon after dying it or if its because of the red colour, or maybe my hair just isn't taking hair dye, all I know is that my hair is now a light orange/brown colour and almost back to where I started a week ago. Also every time I wash my hair dye comes out on the hair towel, its been like this all week. It is most likely washing out not fading out so I have no idea why that is happening especially a week later. This is really depressing because I loved the colour sooo much and it didn't even last a week. Plus I have been using the colour treated pantene red expression stuff as well so the colour should be keeping. I think it might just be my hair because w...

I recieved 10 coupons in the mail awhile ago for 10 free bottles of Herbal Essences new shampoo and conditioner line from Matchstick a word of mouth company that regularly has promotions like this for blog owners to test out and blog about the products. The coupons were to hand out to friends and family so that they could try the shampoo and conditioner. The product was already out in Canada by the time I received the free coupons so I had already purchased it as well as tested it out for a magazine company before the coupons arrived, so I handed out the coupons to friends and family and kept a couple for myself since I love the new line! My sister and I haven't purchased any other brand or type of shampoo or conditioner since getting the test from Elle we love it that much! This stuff is amazing! I have been using the Self-Targeting hydralicious line for the last few months and I have to say its probably the best thing to happen to my hair! My sister is also addicted to this sha...

Just found out that the makeup I used the other day for my show and broke me out badly has an ingredient in it that causes skin irritations... Good Guides

I found this guide years ago and now I can't remember where it was that I got it from but it has helped me figure out my face shape and what cuts will look best. The Scientific way to figure out your face shape: A. Measure your face across the top of your cheekbones. Write down the measurement on a piece of paper. B. Measure across your jaw line from the widest point to the widest point. Write down the measurement. C. Measure across your forehead at the widest point. Generally the widest point will be somewhere about halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline. Write down the measurement. D. Measure from the tip of your hairline to the bottom of your chin. OVAL faces will have length equal to one and a half times width. ROUND faces will be as wide as they are long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close. OBLONG faces are longer than they are wide. HEART faces are narrow at the jaw line and wide at cheekbones/and or forehead. SQUARE faces are about as wide...

Now I don't have this problem at all because I have naturally oily skin that is like that all year around! But I do battle with dry itchy scalp in the winter. Adjust your bathing habits. Take shorter baths or showers and use warm water not hot. Also if possible skip a day showering or bathing (depending on skin type.) Dry off gently, patting the skin dry in order to retain as much natural moisture as possible. Apply a good moisturizing lotion over entire body. If you have severe dry patches use hydrocortisone cream. Don't use soap or cleanser when washing your face as it takes away more moisture and nutrients from your skin. Moisturize your face and neck with a good moisturizer morning and night. Tip: don't use a heavily fragranced moisturizer for your face, most cause unwanted pimples. Use a loofah to remove dead skin cells. Use a good hand moisturizer to keep your hands from chapping. Use a gentle shampoo and a good conditioner to prevent dryness and flaking. Drink lots o...
