Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo + Conditioner
I had been using the Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner line for quite some time, I'd say around 2-3 years and I felt I needed a change so I bought the tresemme split remedy line. I have not really been much of a tresemme fan but this line is great! I have tried the conditioning serum and split remedy serum as well but I did not like them as much as the Split Remedy Shampoo + Conditioner. I do not really feel that a product can necessary "remedy" split ends but it can definitely prevent them, which I feel that this line does.
Organix Repairing Awapugi Ginger Dry Styling Oil
I have been using the dry styling oils by Organix for around a year or so, I have tried their Argon+Moroccon Oil blend as well but I prefer the Repairing Awapugi Ginger one over it. I feel that it makes my hair feel healthier and shinier and it doesn't contain Silicones, which is great. I really feel that silicone based leave in products such as the CHI SILK INFUSION work great to add shine, they just provide a temporary fix to hair problems. This dry styling oil has help to smooth out my frizzy hair, I apply it on damp as well as dry hair. TIP: apply small amounts of this into your hair at a time, make sure to warm up the oil between your palms so that your hair can soak this goodness up. Also, comb/brush your hair to ensure an even distribution of this product in your hair.
Pure Petroleum Jelly
I have totally been LOVING pure petroleum jelly this month!!! Now I know many of you would say OMG, PETROLEUM JELLY IS SO BAD FOR YOU!! But this month I have found so many uses for this that I am sold. I recently read in a magazine that Jennifer Aniston uses vaseline/petroleum jelly as an eye cream, she uses 1/4 tsp under each eye and I had to try it! What I do is I apply my cetaphil moisturizing cream on my face, I than take some petroleum jelly and warm it up between my palms/fingers really well and apply on my face to lock in all the moisture, I make sure to put a bit more under my eyes and also apply some on my eyelashes to keep them moisturized!! I however, only this at night. I also apply the same method on my feet before bed with a thicker layer of petroleum jelly and put socks on, YOUR FEET WILL BE SO SOFT!!! One more thing, I have been applying this product on my lips to keep them nice and smooth :)

Revlon Lip Bitter in *Pink Truffle*/Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in *Pink Whisper* + Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in *Pink Whisper*
This has been my go to lip combo for the month, I will either apply the lip butter on my lips and top it off with the relvon lip gloss or I 'll put on the yves rocher lipstick and top it off with the relvon lip gloss. The Yves Rocher Lipstick and Revlon Lip Gloss give a more mauvy/purplish shade which looks great whereas the Lip butter + lip gloss gives a more medium pink appearance. Both the lipsticks are super moisturizing and feel great on the lips especially since its getting colder !!
Ebay 88 Warm Palette
I purchased this eyeshadow palette from Ebay for USD $9.73 and I've heard from many that Coastal Scents and BH Cosmetics use the same palettes but obviously get their company logo stamped on the front. I am not really an eyeshadow person and If i do wear eyeshadow they're probably all neutral colours. This palette is GREAT, it has a lot of neutrals that range from shimmery/matte/satin finish and are really pigmented. The only thing I could say is that they do require you to tap off any excess from your brush to avoid fallout, and I usually just use my maybelline eye tattoos/MAC paint pot/concealer as a primer to make the colours pop a bit more. This palette is described as the Warm Palette on the coastal scents website as well (http://www.coastalscents.com/makeup/palettes/eye-palettes/pl-014.html). This product is called the 88 neutral eyeshadow palete on the bh cosmetic site (http://www.bhcosmetics.com/products/eyes/88-Color-Neutral-Eyeshadow-Palette/) You can also do a search for the 88 warm palette on ebay and results should pop up. For the price, these eyeshadows are great, especially if you need more vibrant colours that you may not use all the time or for experimental puposes!
RANDOM FAVOURITES:
***Loving my Ralph Lauren Boots that I featured in a haul (I checked the Ralph Lauren website and I do not think they make the style I wear), CHECK YOUR LOCAL WINNERS THEY MAY STILL HAVE THEM. They are SO COMFY and go with every outfit
***I'v really been into homemade hummus lately, its so much CHEAPER and you can add your own variations to see what you like. BLOG POST ON A HUMMUS RECIPE COMING SOON!!!
