Hair that's Hot


Summertime is the worst when you are trying to do your hair. Between hot weather, hot irons, hairdryers, it all becomes a hot sweaty mess... So when the three H's are in effect I like to skip all of that hair styling madness and just let my hair be natural. Unfortunately, with the wrong products this can leave me looking a hot mess. I tried Hair Milk from Carol's Daughter recently and have been using it pretty consistently. It gives my hair just the right amount of moisture so that it isn't too greasy or weighed down. My only complaint is its lemon scent, which isn't offensive, but just not my kinda smell I suppose ... All in all, I will be using this product for a while and am curious to check out some more hair products from CD now. Try their Best Tressed Hair Set which includes shampoo, conditioner, elixir, hair milk and hair honey!

Tarte 4 Day Stay Lash Stain


A stain that keeps lashes looking naturally full for four days without reapplying. Tarte 4 Day Stay Lash Stain is a revolutionary product that envelops lashes in long-lasting pigment while keeping them soft and flexible. It's formulated with PolyFlex™ technology: Cross-polymers are blended with mineral pigments and then treated with ProVitamin B5 to create a binding tint. So whether you're hitting the pool or hitting the shower this gentle lash stain will keep lashes looking fresh, and won't fade or flake.

I was a bit confused after reading this as to whether this was an incredibly long wearing mascara, or just some kind of temporary tint for people with light colored eyelashes. I did a quick search for reviews, and turned up this great one from makeupmoxie.com

Turns out it IS a mascara, to read her hands on review click the link above.
