Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil



Hello everyone!

How are you all doing? I hope your Monday is off to a good start. Today I will be reviewing Bumble and Bumble's Hairdresser's Invisible Oil ($18).

I picked this up in Sephora because I was looking for a good quality heat protectant. I like to straighten my hair here and there so I want to make sure I'm protecting my locks as much as possible. This oil doesn't weigh down my hair at all. I actually use about a dime sized amount in my hair and it doesn't get greasy either. I get why they named it "invisible oil" because it seemed to just vanish into thin air. My locks are less frizzy and it works like a charm.

It doesn't really have a scent to it. I'd say it's a good product except that it is a bit pricey. I still prefer Mastey's hair oil because it smells great and I love having a bit of extra oil in my hair. (I'm weird like that.) Overall, it's a great all-in-one product and I would recommend it to everyone. What hair oils or protectants do you guys use? Let us know in the comments!

November Glossybox

Hello beauties!

How is everyone doing? I hope your Monday is off to a good start. November's Glossybox is here and it's quite good. Lets take a look at what was inside..



1. Mastey Color Protecting Leave-in Oil Treatment with Argan Oil & Olive Oil (full size $40)- Yes a hair oil! Thank you Glossybox for introducing me to the glorious world of hair oils. I put this oil in my damp hair and let my hair air dry. The result is hydrated and smooth hair. My cow licks even disappeared. Mastey's Color Protecting Leave In Oil Treatment is a special combination of Certified Argan Oil, Olive Oil, and GrapeSeed Extract. This unique combination provides the maximum protection and healing for color treated and damaged hair.



2. Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Shadow/liner in Plum (full size $10.50)- This eyeshadow/liner glides on smoothly and easily. I like the application and the color was more of a mauve rather than a plum. The color didn't look too good on me, but it would look beautiful on someone else. A uniquely formulated crayon that doubles as an eyeliner for thick, precise lines as well as a perfectly-blended eye shadow. The exclusive combination of Italian-formulated waxes and pigments allows you to build up the colour, smudge or create bold lines quickly and easily.



3. Nicka K Blending Brush (full size $5)- Yess! A blending brush. I was just looking for a blending brush the other day and couldn't find a good affordable one. This one is soft and only five bucks. Score! Ideal for all over shadow, or for applying airbrushed, natural final touches to any eye look, our Nicka K Professional blending brush is a must-have, versatile addition to any brush collection.



4. The Aloe Source Jojoba Radiance Cleansing Polish (full size $30)- This cleanser has small beads in it and smells just like aloe. This multi-tasking, sulfate-free cleanser effectively removes makeup, oil and impurities. Gently exfoliates with a combination of jojoba microbeads and alpha and beta hydroxy acids, while nourishing aloe vera soothes skin.

5. Emite Eyeshadow in Dams (full size $27)- What a luxurious product to give us Glossybox. I could see this eyeshadow being used for a smokey eye look, or even just as eyeliner.

What did you guys think of this month's Glossybox? Thank you so much for reading! <3

Alterna Bamboo Trio



Once in a while, I'll get a product that just isn't that great. This would be one of them. After getting a free sample of Alterna hair shine mist and loving it, I thought I would give this Alterna Bamboo Smooth Try Me Trio ($15) a shot. First, the shampoo didn't spread through my hair nicely at all. My hair didn't feel clean after I washed it. I don't think the conditioner did much for my dry hair either. My hair just felt a bit brittle after using this product. As for the hair oil, I didn't like how goopy it felt. Mehhh. I tried to use these products a few times, but after a while I just tossed them out.

August Glossybox



It's here! It's here!! I was so excited to find a pink and brown polka dotted box in my mailbox today. I have to say that the August Glossybox products did not disappoint. Inside the box there were five items.

1.Biolage ExquisitOil Replenishing Treatment Retail is $22
2. Ole Henrikson Truth Serum Collagen Booster Retail is $14
3. Illamasqua Nail Varnish Retail is $14
4. Ellis Faas Lipstick Retail is $35
5. Touch In Sol Feel Like Honey Moon Skin Base Retail is $20


I have to say that I was happy with this box. I absolutely love the Ole Henrikson Truth Serum Collagen Booster. This product makes my dry skin look more smooth , bright, and healthy. I also loved my Illamasqua nail varnish which came in a bright pretty peach color which would be flattering in the summer and in the winter. The Biolage Exquisite Oil I am still testing out and so far it just makes me hair a little more oily and I don't see a huge difference. The Ellis Faas lipstick was disappointing, not because of the packaging which is sleek and beautiful but because of the Hershey brown color is came in. I mean if I were trying to sport a gothic color then maybe it could work, but for daily wear this just isn't flattering at all (Update: After trying on this color and applying it lightly, I have to say I really like it. It looks good on a bare face and really stands out). I've yet to try the Touch In Sol honey moon base as I'm waiting for a good makeup day to try it on (I will be back to let you guys know how it worked out).

Overall, for the cost of the box which was $23, this was a GREAT deal and I'm very pleasantly surprised. Thank you Glossybox!

Xoxo,

Jenny
