The first category is...Hair.
1. "12 Benefits" Instant Healthy Hair Treatment
This stuff is amazing! All of the benefits are listed on the bottle, but they are: seals color; smoothes frizz; repairs damage; prevents split ends; moisturizes dry hair; strengthens fragile hair; prevents flat iron damage; protects from chlorine, wind, and sun damage; adds shine, softness, and silky finish; protects from blow-drying; improves texture and manageability; and keeps hair youthful with anti-age formula.
Does it do all of this? Well, I think so! I've been using it since the last time I got my hair done, which was about 2 months ago. My hair was in pretty healthy condition before, but this has just been keeping it that way! I spray it in my hair before blow-drying it. It's kind of a thick spray, but not as thick as a leave-in conditioner is. Plus a thirteenth benefit is that it smells really good!
2. Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Masque
I just bought this a couple of weeks ago, but I LOVE it! Even though I've only used it twice, it's the best deep conditioner I've ever used. Plus it smells amazing. I bought this small sample size, but I will definitely be purchasing the full size when I'm able to.
3. Ribbon hair ties
I'm not exactly sure what these are called lol. But they're so cute! I like how my hair looks with them in...it's like I've tied my hair with a ribbon, but they're elastic like a regular ponytail holder. Here's a picture of my braid tied with one. :)
Now on to the next category...skin care!
1. Bioderma Crealine H20
If you've never heard of Bioderma, well...I'm probably not the right person to ask, lol. All I know is that this is the best toner-type product I've ever used! I've kind of been on a French skin care kick lately, and I guess I have Bioderma to blame for that since it was the first one I bought. My skin hasn't been the best recently, probably because of the crazy weather, but since I've started using some different skin care products (like this one) it's getting better. I use this on a cotton pad after cleansing my face and before applying moisturizer.
2. Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub
I think this is one I've mentioned before. I've used this product for a while, but kind of forgot about it. A few weeks ago I picked up a new one and started using it again. I love it just as much as I did before, and I don't know why I even stopped using it in the first place lol.
3. Philosophy Purity Made Simple

This is a cleanser that I've used for a while. I have yet to meet a Philosophy product I didn't like. This one gets my face clean without drying it out.
4. La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
I honestly can't say enough good things about this! I ordered it online after hearing/reading excellent reviews on it. The reviews I saw said that it was good for acne, and they couldn't be more correct. It says on the tube that it's "corrective and unclogging anti-imperfection care." Apparently it exfoliates dead skin cells and unclogs pores to keep you from breaking out. I haven't been using it long, but I can definitely tell a difference in my skin. I apply this all over the face (as instructed) as my moisturizer once a day.
5. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
Yet another French skincare product that I'm obsessed with! I first received a sample size of this in one of my Birchboxes (I think January?) and immediately fell in love. It's one moisturizer that I've been wanting to try for a while, so when I liked the sample I knew I had to have the full size. I use this as a moisturizer before applying my make-up, and it is awesome.
That's it for skin care! Next category is things that make you smell good. :)
1. Bath and Body Works fragrance mist in Be Enchanted
I've been using this for quite a while, like over a year. I can't describe the scent other than to say it smells like every good, girly thing in the world lol. It's a very sweet scent but not sickeningly so. I like to use this before I go to work because it's light but still makes me smell good.
2. Korres Body Butter
This is amazing! It smells really good and is very thick and moisturizing. I use this on my hands and feet almost every night before I go to sleep.
3. Victoria's Secret ultra-moisturizing hand and body cream in Berry Escape
I have to admit, what drew me to this product was the packaging. Isn't it adorable? I think this must be part of a new spring/summer line, because there were 2 other scents. It comes in a lotion, a body splash, and a shower gel. I can't remember what the other scents were, sorry! But I love this one. On the tube it says it's guava berry and solar florals. To me that just sounds like summer, and in these dreary late-winter months it's been the perfect pick-me-up.
Ok, that's going to be it for this post since I feel like it's already getting long lol. Part 2 will most likely be up next week sometime, or possibly over the weekend. It will include my current favorite make-up, food and drink, and miscellaneous items. If you're reading this, I hope you enjoyed! And if you DO read my posts, do me a favor and join my blog, leave a comment, tweet me, etc.
