My best friend told me about the company and she swears by their products. The company sell everything from mineral makeup to lip gloss to eye shadow and bath gels. I just placed my order yesterday for 15 item and the cost was $20. When I get my package, I will be doing a review so stay turned.

New Weekly Post: Favorite Product of the Week

Every week I will be post my new and seasoned favorite products in beauty, hair care, and skin care. If you have any ideas for future products I should feature, comment and let me know. 


My product of the week this week is Fekkai Glossing Cream! 

Photobucket

If you have never tried it, it is a must. Before I started using it, my hair was ok but lacked luster and shine. My hair stylish told me that this works amazing and recommends it to all her customers. So I bought some and came home to use it. I first washed my hair like usual. After I came out of the shower and towel dried my hair, I used a dab the size of a almond and rubbed it in all over my hair (but try not to put too much at the roots or it will weigh them down and make them look a little greasy). I also use a little bit after I straighten it. The result was bouncy, soft, shiny hair! The smell is also great. It is expensive but for those who blowdry and straighten their hair a lot like I do or just want shiner hair, this product is a definite must. It also protects your hair from drying out and getting damaged.


Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Price: High (but worth every penny)
Where to get it: Some Bath & Body Works, beauty supply stores, Norstroms, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neuman Marcus

If you have every tried this product or have something to add, feel free to comment.

luv always, ocfashionlover

Nail Polish Tips & Tricks

I love nail polish!!! Here are some things you should know about nail polish:


-Never shake nail polish! It creates bubbles and makes the nail polish go on less smooth. Instead gently roll the nail polish back and forth in your palm so you will never have bubbles appear on your nails.

-Clean your nails before you put polish on. The cleaner your nails are, the less likely the nail polish will. 

-Always use base coat AND top coat. Most people forget to use both but it really helps in the long run. Base coat helps the nail polish stick to your nail and keeps your nail healthy. Top coat keeps the nail polish from chipping and makes the color shinier. 

-Less is more. Try to only put 1 to 2 coats of color on (plus base and top coat). The heavier the nail polish, the more likely it is to chip.

My favorite kind nail polish is OPI. I love the brush and the colors are amazing. I think I have tried ever brand of polish (even Chanel) and still OPI is my fav. My favorite colors are Princesses Rule!, Russian Navy, Parlez-Vous OPI?, ElePhantastic Pink, and Curry Up Don't Be Late! 


What is your favorite nail polish brand or color? Do you have any nail polish tricks? Tell me about it.

luv always, ocfashionlover
