Back to Basics!

I was at Target and I decided to get some new mascara and ditch that crappy Telescopic Explosion.

I was looking at all the choices and decided to go back to what I know and love!

Loreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes.

This mascara is pretty pricey in my opinion , $8.99 at Target  but I splurged anyway. This is the 4th tube I have owned. In the past the white part of this mascara dries out faster then I use it but it is at least 3-4 months.The white side is a primer that builds up your lashes.

The other awesome thing about this mascara is that it just wipes off with warm water. It literally just slides off your lashes.

I am sure you can tell by the picture quality but I got a new camera! I was at Target and I found a great CHEAP camera and had a $10 off coupon. $74 out the door!!!

 

It is a Kodak Easyshare. I tested out all the cameras at Target to see how they did with close up shots and this one was one of the best and cheapest!! I am sending the other camera back to Amazon!!

Here is my EOTD.

I used a random light green, Sour by Virus Insanity and Electric Kool-aid by Madd Style Cosmetics.

Things I love - Part One

I thought I would just give a quick review on a 

few products that I am LOVING!!

As you have read, I am pretty cheap. It is somewhat by choice but also by necessity. 

I am a stay at home mom of a bunch of kids so I need to have my dollar streeeeeeeeeetch!

This first product that I love is Miracle 7 Leave in Conditioner

http://www.sallybeauty.com/leave-in-conditioner/MIRACLE702,default,pd.html

I found it at Sally Beauty Supply. It isn't cheap by any means. 

Well at least it isn't cheap by my standards.

I paid about $14 out the door for a small bottle.

I will tell you that it is the BEST leave in conditioner I have ever tried and I have tried a lot!

I have over 26" of long hair so I need a good leave in conditioner to detangle this mess!

I have used pretty much every brand sold at Target and have been disappointed with them all. None have done what Miracle 7 has done.

It works GREAT on the tangles , when your hair dries it feels super soft , is shiny and smooth. Since having my last few kids I have developed frizzy hair, Miracle 7 totally tamed the frizz when I let my hair air dry.

Have you tried Miracle 7 or do you have a favorite leave in conditioner? 

Let me know, we have a bunch of long haired gals in this house and would love to try out your suggestions!

The next on my "Love" list IS super cheap! $1 and it is sold online or at mt favorite place...Target!

It is the therapeutic conditioning lip balm by elf cosmetics!

I bought it figuring when it sucked I could just throw it away and not care since it was just a buck but I was super surprised when I first used it.

It went on super smooth and had a nice feel on the lips. I hate thick and I hate sticky. 

This was neither!

I will warn you though, the vanilla cream goes on pretty white and looks disgusting if your lips are chapped at all. I got strawberry cream and it gives a nice hint of color. 

Do you have a lip balm that rocks your socks off? 

Comment and let me know so I can try it!!

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship conditioner has made by "LOVE" list!

Like I said earlier, I have really long hair and a good conditioner is a MUST HAVE.

I have never used any salon brands but definitely have tried every kind that Target carries.

I paid about $2.50 on sale for a very large bottle of this.

I do change my conditioner often but I can say I am loving this stuff so far. It is leaving my hair smooth and less tangled than it has been in a long time. It has even made my ends which can be pretty dry look better!
