My Review:

I love this product to infinity and beyond. Ecoco Beauty never seems to disappoint. I don't know what they are doing over there in The Ecoco Kitchen but whatever they're doing is right on the money. My hair loved this product! It gave me the bouncy springy curls that I love. 

(Wash & Go)

This lightweight product made my curls pop to its entirety. Do you see that shine? It's unbelievable! Even though this cream is light, a little goes a long way. That's the best about this product. Even if you use a lot, it still seems as if you didn't use much when looking back at the jar. 

( My Braid Out using this product)

I can't get enough of this Cocktail! It provides my hair with so much moisture, softness, and manageability. If I want to reapply this product throughout the week, I can. It doesn't weigh my hair down like a lot of stylers do. My hair has never had a bad day when using this product. It gives it the hold it needs without causing build up or flaking. That's a plus for me. This product gives my hair life. Thank you so much Ecoco Beauty for sending this over for me to review and for making amazing products for all hair types. You're awesome  and my Best Friend in my head lol.

Review: Curl Mix

Curl Mix is a DIY Subscription Box for Curly Hair. They send you Premium All Natural Ingredients for making easy products that you can use for your hair and body. 

I was lucky enough to receive the month of Novembers Box for me to review for you guys. I received all of the ingredients to make a Lavender Leave In Conditioner. Now, once made, the product only last approximately 2 weeks unless you put it inside of your fridge. It can last longer. 

I truly enjoyed making this product. I had never created my own homemade product before. Thanks to Curl Mix, my first time was very simple and I even learned a few things. I couldn't believe they even sent a whisk to help mix the ingredients together. It was so convenient and it helped me a ton. I also saved the whisk for baking... Shhh. 

My experience with the Lavender Leave In Conditioner was awesome. My curls were very springy and bouncy. The Conditioner left my hair extremely moisturized for an entire week! It may have lasted even longer if I didn't wash my hair weekly. Even though it is a heavy product because of the Shea Butter, it did not weigh my hair down. It even made some of my curls pop. I usually look to stylers to define my curls. 

(My hair after a few days.)

Overall, I did love the entire concept of The Curl Mix DIY Subscription Box. It was fun, and exciting to try a product I actually made while learning a few things. I'm sure you guys would love this box and I think you should go ahead and subscribe to it. If interested, visit their website at, www.curlmix.com

Review: Suga' on Top

My Neighbor, The owner of the lovely Suga' on Top was kind of enough to send me this beautiful sample set including these 3 products:

.Pink Suga' Body Glaze

.Pink Suga' Body Frosting

.Pink Suga' Body Spritz

I loved the packaging and how a little goes a long way with each of these products. 

The Pink Suga' Body Glaze was made with almond oil, avocado, and coconut oil. It's also infused with pomegranate and zesty citrus. This is my all time favorite. It made my skin feel so silky smooth like satin. I used this product in a few different ways, such as, using it as a moisturizer for my hands, adding some glow to my skin, or my favorite, right after I get out of the shower while I'm soaking wet. This locks in all of the moisture and my skin gets that silky satin feeling that I love. I loved this Body Glaze and it has become a staple of mines. 

The Pink Suga' Body Frosting is a light moisturizing cream that is paraben and mineral oil free. It is made with Shea, coco butters, zesty citrus and pomegranate. I enjoyed this Body Frosting. I loved how moisturizing it was yet it didn't leave my skin greasy like most products made with butters do.  I loved the light sweet scent as well, just like the Body Glaze. When I don't feel like using perfume, I just use the Body Glaze and the Body Frosting. I love the convenience of these products. I can throw them in my purse to reapply throughout the day. 

The Pink Suga' Body Spritz was my least favorite. It smelled too much like alcohol when first using it. The alcohol smell wore off ,but I just didn't like the overall scent. For some reason, even though all of these products are made to smell the same, to me, it didn't smell as good as the other two products. 

Overall, I truly enjoyed the Body Glaze, and The Body Frosting. I want to thank the owner of this company for giving me the opportunity to review these products. Her products are a great gift for friends and family. If you are interested in purchasing, visit www.sugaontop.com

Review: Follicleanse

I'm back with another review for Follicleanse products. They were gracious enough to send me another version of their Shampoo and Conditioner (The OS) but double! Thanks Follicleanse. :)

The Shampoo

Product Claims: Helps cleanse oily, dirty scalp with product/residue build up. Also helps with itchy scalp, flakes and scalp inflammation. Paraben and DEA free

Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Betaine, Amidex C- CM, Fision Hair (Rice Protein, Fenugreek, Burdock Extract, Ivy Extract), Olefin, Zinc PCA, Fision Hair Moisture (Hydrolyzed Keratin, Collagen Amino Acids, Wheat Germ Oil, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Linolenic Acid), Panthenol (Vitamin B Enriched), Thyme, Sage, Germall Plus, Tetrasodium EDTA (anti-irritant), Fragrance, Color (Glycerin Green 5, Yellow 5), Citric Acid, Crothix

My Experience:

This Shampoo: is perfect for those who are extremely active or experience itchy, dry scalp which can lead to scalp inflimation. I haven't used a Shampoo that contained Sulfates in a very long time until I used Follicleanse. Using this shampoo gave my hair a fresh start. It removed all the dirt and build up from products and oiliness. It cleansed my scalp very, VERY well and my hair didn't feel too stripped after using it. Using a shampoo with Sulfates in it will normally dry your hair out but this didn't. I didn't need much. A little definitely goes a long way. I will have this huge 16oz bottle for a while. 

The Conditioner

Product Claims:

It's a clarifying and moisturizing conditioner that helps strengthen the hair and aids in smoothing it as well.

Ingredients: Water, BTMS-50 (Vegetable-based conditioning emulsifier), Glycerin (Vegetable based), Emu Oil, Jojoba Oil, Zinc PCA, Germall Plus, Fragrance

My Experience:

This Conditioner was a breath of fresh air. It was very light weight but still provided so much moisture and had tons of slip. I was able to detangle my hair without any issues. I usually have to add an unbelievable amount of conditioner to detangle my hair, but I didn't have to do that with this conditioner. After using it at least 3 times, I felt a difference in my hair. It was softer, well conditioned and was easier to manage. It was great as a co-wash! After using it, my hair felt so cleansed and still moisturized. This conditioner is a favorite of mines. 

Overall, I enjoy these products and would recommend them to those who want to clarify their hair every so often and want a conditioner that is multipurpose as a co-wash and a great detangling conditioner.

Review: Sereniti Bath Body And You

 

Thank you Sereniti Bath Body And You for sending these products to me to review.

The Serendipity Body & Hair Icing w/ Argan Oil: was awesomeeeeeee! It smells so sweet and perfect! I love how soft it makes my skin feel. When using it on my hair and skin, it seals in all the moisture. As for my skin, it provides moisture for about 24 hours. Now, as for my hair, the moisture last at least a week which is amazing! I love this product and I am so thankful that It was sent to me to review. Even though I have only had it for a little over a week, I can see that it may already be a staple of mines. It makes my skin glow and it even helps my cuticles which in turn helps my nails grow. 

The Serendipity Body Lotion: This product smells so good! I use it after I wash my hands every single time. It provides tons of moisture. It's not as moisturizing as the body and hair icing,  but that's because the body and hair icing is a butter. For people that don't want to use something as heavy as a butter, this product is perfect for you. Before I started using butters, I used nothing but lotions. This lotion is a product that I would want in my arsenal at all times. It provides moisture for hours and smells so sweet and delightful. It may not be as moisturizing as a butter,  but many times, I don't want to have a greasy feel after I moisturize. This product doesn't give me that greasy feel. 

The Serendipity Body Scrub: is amazingggg! This right here is my baby. It smells so good that I want to eat it! It exfoliates your skin like no other without making it feel dry. I even noticed a difference in how healthy my skin felt after only using it twice. I even use this body scrub just for my face and it's not too harsh for my skin like most body scrubs are. I can even say after using this that my body felt relaxed and rejuvenated. It is great to use before you go to bed being that it relaxes you and makes you feel at ease. 

Overall, these products were great! I cannot complain one bit. If you are into moisturizing and cleansing products that smell like a desert and help you externally as well as internally than this is the place for you.

Review: Curl Girl Hair

I want to say Thank you Thank you Thank you to this amazing Company that makes products specialty made for curly hair, Curl Girl for sending this beautiful package my way to review for you guys. The package included:

.Sulfate Free Moisturizing Shampoo 

.Sulfate Free Cleansing Conditioner

 .Unstress Deep Moisturizing Masque

.Daily Moisturizing Conditioner 

.Unwind Thermal Protector & Detangling Mist

.Curl Control Curl Defining Mousse

.Moisture Fix Daily Shine Oil

.Wide Tooth Comb

If you couldn't tell in the beginning of this blog post that I am in loveeee with most of these products... Just read this review to see how I feel about all of them.

The Sulfate Free Moisturizing Shampoo:When using it, I expected it to lather like normal shampoos would but it didn't. It reminded me of a co-wash, but it still actually in my opinion cleansed my hair better than a co-wash. I can say I enjoyed it because it didn't strip my hair and after using it, it felt cleansed and it didn't cause matting like a lot of shampoos do. 

The Sulfate Free Cleansing Conditioner(Co-Wash): Worked pretty well. What I loved about this product is that it made my hair feel extremely soft after using it. I can also say it cleansed my scalp pretty well and provided a good amount of slip. It was an amazing detangler which made co-washing a breeze. I normally don't use co-washing conditioners. This may have changed my mind. 

The Unstress Deep Moisturizing Masque: was my alllll time favorite! As a deep conditioner, it gave me very soft well conditioned hair, but, I mainly used it as a styler. As a styler, it gave me soft, bouncy, well moisturized, POPPIN, springy curls. It gave my curls life without a doubt. My curls stayed moisturized for an entire week and the masque even helped me with elongation and shrinkage! You can't beat that. 

The Daily Moisturizing Conditioner: worked well with my hair. It provided my hair with great moisture, but didn't define it as much as I would have liked it to when it comes to a leave in conditioner. I did enjoy it as a rinse out conditioner a lot more. It left my hair very soft and conditioned after rinsing it out. It also helped tremendously with detangling. It is my go to when I am experiencing trouble with tangles. 

The Unwind Thermal Protectant and Detangling Mist: was great when it came to Detangling. I don't use heat in my hair at all what so ever, so I can't give you guys a review when it comes the product being partly a heat protectant. As for it being a detangler, using this with some coconut oil or any oil for that matter works wonders. I spray a liberal amount onto each section of my hair and use a quarter size amount of coconut oil on each section and it feels like you're using butter to detangle your hair. I also use this Mist as a curl refresher. My hair loves how it revives my curls and provides extra moisture. 

The Curl Control Curl Defining Mousse: was a first for me. I had never used mouse before and was a skeptic when it came to ever using it. This product proved me wrong. I always thought mouse was horrible for your hair until I tried this. I loved it beyond a doubt. My hair dried wayyyyy quicker because of using it and it also defined my curls like no other. 

I'm in love! Now, I'm honestly not sure if I can live without mouse thanks to Curl Girl. Just make sure when using this mouse or any mouse for that matter that your hair is very wet before applying it so it can hold the definition you have soon after you wash your hair. 

The Moisture Fix Daily Shine Oil: wasn't my favorite. If anything I felt as if it kept moisture from getting into my hair once it was applied which causes dry hair. The main ingredient in this product is silicone which keeps moisture from coming out,  but also keeps it from coming in so that is probably why. I will say that it gave my hair tons of shine and my hair felt so moisturized on the first day. It's a great product for those who blow dry their hair or flat iron it. 

The Wide Tooth Comb: was amazing! It detangled my hair so well. It may be big,  but it fits inside my hand perfectly. I have a feeling this comb will be a part of my regimen for as long as it will last me. I love it more than any wide tooth comb I have ever purchased. It doesn't cause any breakage and it's also easy to clean which is a plus. A lot of combs hold product build up and it's hard to get out even with soap and water. I didn't experience this with Curl Girls Wide Tooth Comb. 

Overall, I really enjoyed these products. Some more than others, but to me, they were all awesome, because I know if something didn't work for me, it had the potential to work for someone else being that everyone's hair is different. Using these products gave my curls so much definition and moisture and I even found a new favorite of mines, Mouse! Might I add, every single one of these products smell amazingggggg! I will definitely keep most of these products apart of my regimen and I do recommend these products to those who want more curl definition.

Review: IMBUED

I received this cute little Body Butter from the company IMBUED. I finished this about a month ago and was so upset about it. It was so moisturizing and convenient because of it's little size. I was able to carry it in my purse and use it when needed. I love the Cucumber Melon Scent! I've always enjoyed this scent. The ingredients in the product are amazing and each of them help to moisturize your skin like no other. If you guys don't know yet, I wash my hands a ton, so having something like this near by is needed at all times. A little goes a long way so the 2oz jar will actually last you a while. For best results, massage into your skin after your bath or shower to seal the moisture in. It made my skin feel soooo soft and supple.  If you don't enjoy the scent of Cucumber melon, they have many other scents such as Pearberry, Lemongrass, Lavender, and Rosemary.

Review: It Works Hair Skin Nails Vitamins

I was sent these by an amazing Follower of mines that I couldn't find for the longest until yesterday. Sorry Girly. It took me foreverrrrrr to write a review for it because I was in the hospital for some time and when I came home, I had trouble taking it due to the size of the pill. I was only taking them for 2 weeks and seen results in my nails.

I took a break from them and tried them again and it was still a little hard for me to take them but I made myself. Within another 2 weeks they looked amazing.

It does not take long for these vitamins to work like a lot of others do. Usually it takes a month for vitamins to kick in. These only take a little over a week. I noticed a tiny difference in my skin. It did glow a little more and some of the blotches on my face even went away.

My hair grew about an inch to! 

I really did enjoy these vitamins. The only downside is how big they are. If you have trouble swallowing big pills, these may not be for you.

If you are interested in purchasing these vitamins or any other It Works products you can call/text 951-468-5257 or visit 90daychanges.com

Review: Snappee (SNAP OFF Hair Tie)

Snappee sent a few of their Snap Off Hair Ties over for me to review. 

Product Claims:

These Stretchy Spandex-nylon Non -elastic hair ties are Versatile, Reusable, and Machine Washable(they are restored to their original stretch and shape after being washed). They help to prevent damage and tangles that normal hair ties cause. 

My Review 

I love these hair ties! I have been using them non stop since I received them and refuse to go back. They are so convenient and do what they claim to do. The snaps are made of plastic and will hold even the thickest of hair securely with no problem. The only issue I do have is that my hair does sometimes get caught when I unsnap it, but I still do enjoy them.

We all loose 50-100 strands of shed hair daily anyway. It's not that serious. They are better than normal hair ties, but do still snag your hair from my experience. I love how much they stretch and that you can use them for any hair style. My favorites are The Pineapple, High Puff, and Low Puff. I also enjoy wearing them on my wrist. You can't beat the versatility of these hair ties and the fact that they are reusable and machine washable. These are a part of my everyday hair care routine and I can't see myself without them now. 

They have various colors and are 12.95 a pack. They also have a pack of 15 for 36.95 and it's The Rainbow Edition. 

We all know it's all about convenience when it comes to spending money. Who wants to keep going to the store every so often to buy hair ties? It's a waste of time and money. Purchase a few Snappees, you won't regret it. Thanks Snappee!
