Great Last Maybeline mascara

This Mascara is not friendly at all! Upon putting it on my lashes, the solution got all over my eyelids no matter how careful I put it on, it just doesn't dry fast enough. Not only does it get everywhere, but it hurts your eyes too! If you wash your face, cry or go for a swim you will be in pain as the mascara bleeds into your eyeballs. Even though its around 4$, this ones still a no go for me.

  1. Wash your hair with the clarifying shampoo that comes with the kit 
  2. After your hair has had some time to dry a little apply the Keratin treatment through out hair.
  3. Wait 45 minutes while the keratin sits.
  4. round brush hair dry with a nozzle hair dryer
  5. Split hair into sections and straighten the hair 
Voila! I would say it can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks depending on how much you wash your hair! Remember to not get your hair wet for at least 48 hours after treatment!

Loreal Collagen Moisture filler face cream

Got this little gem at Wal mart for around 12 bucks I would describe it as very moisturizing and rejuvenating. If you want silk like feeling skin then better grab this one! I recommend to anyone with dry skin!!! I couldn't say if the collagen did anything significant but maybe I am just too young to tell?

Collagen is the essential natural protein that keeps skin smooth and looking youthful. But as we age collagen deteriorates plus skin starts to lose its moisture: Skin surfaces become uneven, skin loses its cushion and wrinkles are formed. Natural collagen is extracted and purified with a process that preserves all of its hydrating qualities. Now, Collagen Moisture Filler with powerful natural collagen provides a daily dose of intense hydration that helps fill in lines and wrinkles and restores moisture for smoother, more cushioned skin.

Twice baked cauliflower

(makes 6-8 servings; recipe adapted slightly from the low carb gourmet.)

Ingredients 

1 large head of cauliflower

4 oz of laughing cow ( 6 wedges)

1/2 cup of plain non fat greek yogurt

1/4 cup minced green onions

1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese ( I used spicy Colby jack)

6 slices of turkey bacon cooked until crisp in the oven

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Cut out stem and core from cauliflower and cut into small pieces. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water until cauliflower is tender, but not overly soft. Drain well and mash with potato masher, leaving some chunks. Mix in the laughing cow wedges, greek yogurt, green onion, cheese and 3/4 crumbled turkey bacon. 

Spread evenly in a medium sized glass casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese and reserved bacon. Bake 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Xen Tan product review (self tanner)


Alright so today I decided to finally review this tanner I had got back in 2011, I know its long over due. I believe I had seen this self tanner review on a beauty youtube channel. I also remember watching several youtube videos showing the self tanner application and how it turned out after developing; the results looked great but after using it for so long I've decided I could find something better.  It was around 40 bucks and I thought it would be worth every penny but now that its practically gone.........I really need to find something less blotchy and less Orangy!!!!Womp womp big surprise that I had those two problems with self tanner right? It really isn't bad if you already have a tan but most tanners are like that! I need something that will make me glow with radiant tan beauty in the winter not just the summer!!!! Well ladies please comment below as to the best self tanner you use and the results you had along with your skin tone. High profile tanners that you were disappointed with please post as well. We need to know what works and what doesn't!
