My May Ipsy Glam Bag is Here!

Yay! My May Ipsy Glam bag is here, and it's like a mini Christmas. Again, I am impressed and pleased with my items this month. I got 3 full sized items (Zoya nail polish, Juicy Beauty lip gloss, and Mirabella lip liner) and 2 sample size items (NuMe hair serum, and concealer). If you guesstimate the amount of each item's price, it totals well over $10 a month. The nail polish alone is $8, I am guessing the lipgloss is $5-$10, and the lip liner is $5-$10. The only item I am disappointed with is the concealer. The shade is way too light for me. Luckily my sister has fair skin so I gave it to her. The packaging of the sample concealer isn't that great either. You have to keep it in the generic plastic container it comes in, otherwise it would dry out. Sometime this week I will have reviews and pics of each item! If you got the May Ipsy glam bag, what is your favorite item? 

Clear Shampoo Free Sample

I signed up for this offer on Clear Shampoo's Facebook page about a month ago or so. Pretty good freebie package. It came with a 2 week supply of shampoo and conditioner samples, and a $1 off coupon. I really like this sample, which is for color treated hair. It makes my hair more moisturized and less dry feeling. My hair is more damaged than usual because I recently got highlights, so this really helps. I had really bad dandruff this past winter and used their dandruff shampoo, and it really worked! I saw results in a week and a half of using it. The volumizing shampoo........ I'm not a huge fan of. I used it for a couple days when I visited my friend in Orlando, and it felt more moisturizing than volumizing. I might have to give it a second chance, and try it out again. If you want to get free samples like this I suggest you like your favorite brand's Facebook page, usually once in awhile they will have special offers or promos. You can also go to their official website ad sign up for newsletters and special offers. What is your guys's favorite Clear shampoo?

The New Sock Bun Tool

FINALLY got this! I found it at Walmart for $9.98 & it comes with 2 tools in the sizes small and large. I found it MUCH easier to use than the donut shaped sock bun tools. Since my hair is pretty long, I use the large one.

Must try this shampoo

Hollyannaeree is one of my new favorite beauty Youtube channel's to watch. If you are a big makeup junkie like me, watch her channel. She does a lot of makeup haul's & tells you her pro's & con's, which is useful before you actually purchase a product. This particular video is about her hair, and she has goregous hair. She recently tried this new brand of shampoo called Clear. The first time I saw/heard about this brand was seeing a TV commercial with Heidi Klum. You can buy the product's at Target, Walmart, etc, at $4.99+ each, so it is very affordable. It's suppose to be better for your hair due to the ingredients like coconut oil, and nutrium 10. This brand is also suppose to be really good for your scalp and helps start healthy hair growth by nourishing the scalp. I'm very curious to try this shampoo. My hair has been lacking lately, and my scalp has been very dry & irritated this winter.

Has anyone tried this shampoo yet? Please let me know your thoughts!

Asian hair color products?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever used  at home Asian hair dyes before?(As in Asian hair color products from Asian groceries, Asian brands, etc). I've been wanting to try them out to lighten my hair, but don't know anyone that has used them. I have seen the brands in the photo below at the local Asian H-mart by me.

Please let me know your opinions on these if you've ever used them! Or if you have a different/favorite brand you use.

Thank you much!

Product Review - WEN Haircare

Pro's

• Very god price for the WEN Haircare package. For the price of $29.95(before shipping & tax) for 5 items is an amazing deal, so your paying about $7 something for each item.
• Sizes are reasonable so they do not run out right away. I found myself out of the shampoo in 2 months. I still have ALOT of product in the hair conditioner, styling creme and styling wax.
• The wide tooth brush comb is nice. The quality is awsome. The brush is hard, so it is durable and will last you a long time vs. like those plastic cheap combs. I use this everday to comb my hair after I shower, and part my hair.
• The smell of the product is amazing, it's an almond scent, so it's subtle.
• I have sensitive skin, and this product did not irritate my skin in any way.
• Defintely made my hair soft, shiny, and healthier looking.
• The styling creme is my favorite. I use it everday, and can style my hair any way I want, whether straight, curly, or with a round brush. The creme made my hair a little softer since I have a lot of dead ends, and my hair appears more shiny.

Con's

• This product is a continuous subscription, so you cannot just purchase it once. You do not have to purchase it EVERY month, but you CAN set it up in your account online to ship whenver you want. (i.e.) every 3 months, every 6 months, etc). If you were not satisfied with your 1st purchase, you can always cancel your membership.
• I have seen the WEN commercial on TV with Alyssa Milano, and once I heard my BFF's mother talk so highly about this product I wanted to try it. I had the expectation that the product would miracously make my hair volumous, healthy looking, an shiny all at the same time. I did find it shiny and VERY moisturized, OVERLY moisturized. I felt like on some days it made my hair look oily, due to the WEN instructions of using several pumps of the product on the left, right, buttom, and top of your head. The usage of several pumps of product on various spots of your head is suppose to be the right amount of shampoo combined with scrubbing/massaging your hair and scalp.

OVERALL:

I still have 2 more bottles of the shampoo from my last order, so I'm going to give this product another chance. I was about to give the rest of my shampoo's to my sister, but I'm very curious to see how the shampoo will work with my hair the 2nd time around. My hair has been kind of brittle at the ends lately, and my scalp has been very dry, itchy and irritted, so I will report back soon.
