Sedu Straightener

Guess what guys?
I placed an order for a new straightener!
Sedu Tourmaline/Ionic Ceramic Straightener!
Tourmaline is a moisture attractor which will make your hair shiny without damaging it.

It took me a long time to decide between the new Sedu 2008 Revolution and the Sedu Original 1" Tourmaline/Ionic Ceramic Straightener but I got the 1" original.
Why?
Well I read all the reviews for the Sedu 2008 Revolution and people have said that it pulls and snags their hair but the original doesn't. So that was how I decide.
You can make curls with both irons.. there is really no difference with the exception that the Sedu 2008 Revolution's exterior doesn't get as hot as the original. The heat temperature for the revolution ranges from 180F to 450F while the Sedu original heats up from 210 to 410F. I have asian hair so I use 340F.. temperature was not an issue for me.

I will write a review on the straightener after testing it out for a week.
Folica.com offers a 2 year warranty and comes with a heat stand. awesome!
I bought it for $84 as oppose to the original $108.
The Sedu Revolution would be $115 as oppose to the original price of $140. But the discount has ended..
Now that we're officially in a recession, every penny saved counts :)

Got 2B Smooth Operator Lustre Lotion Smoothing 6.8 oz.

So with the sale at CVS this week, I also picked up the Got 2B Smooth Operator Smoothing Lustre Lotion.
What really caught my eye was the packaging.. it's very feminine and even has a cute little charm you can detach after you use up all the product.
I was really excited to try out this product and this smells almost like the one below. (well.. they're from the same company. no surprise). However, this spray has UV protection in it so it's a little better for your hair.
AS for size, this is 2oz less than the Got 2B Crazy Sleek... so it's really up to you to decide which product you want to buy. I recommend both as because they both make my hair really soft, smooth, and adds shine.

You can find this at your local drugstore for about $6 more or less. Definitely worth the price!

Review on

Got 2B Crazy Sleek Blow Dry Lotion 8.5 oz. Spray

So I went to CVS today to buy a gallon of milk. As always, I'd checked out the beauty and hair section.
I've heard a lot about the Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray and has always wanted to try it out but after browsing through all their hair products, I decided on the Got 2B Crazy Sleek Blow Dry Lotion.

Price: $6.29
Quantity: 2

How great is that? From Nov. 9 to Nov. 16, all the Got 2B products at CVS will be buy one and get one!
Great for this recession we're heading into eh?

Let me start off by describing the scent. It smells fruity and amazing! I'm usually picky about the smell of hair products but this one really satisfied my taste. I love how it just smells so fruity and kind of orange-ish. But don't worry, the smell will not last all day. It does go away after a while.

So what do you want to do first?
Towel-dry your hair after washing and let it dry. You don't necessarily have to spray it on dry hair but this is just my preferred method. Damp hair also works if you are going to blow dry your hair.

Ok so spray the product onto your hair and distribute evenly. Then.. if you're straightening it, section off your hair and start straightening a section. You should see some steam come out but don't worry.. that's just the product. After that, you should feel the immediate difference in the texture of your hair. It should be smooth and soft :)

Would I recommend this?
Yes!! I personally think this smells better than the Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray (I took a sniff lol).

So what're you waiting for? Go out and buy yourself a bottle (or two) and test it out!

Neutrogena Skin-Clearing Foundation

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foundation
So does it really clear your skin?
For me.. it doesn't really do that but I've noticed that after using this foundation, I broke out less. I don't really know if that was what prevented it but I do believe so. It does contain Salicylic Acid which is suppose to help treat pimples. It's also oil-free which won't clog your pores.
I found that this foundation is a little chalky.. It isn't as creamy as I like it. After I apply it, my face looked like I combined talc along with it and applied it. That is the one con I don't like.
The packaging is pretty nice. It comes in a rectangular bottle and is 1fl oz.
The smell isn't too pleasant but it'll become unnoticeable when it dries.
Cost" About $10

Again CVS, Rite-Aid, Duane Reade and other drugstore pharmacy are always having regular sales so look for them before you buy! you can really catch a great deal :)

Conair 2" Tourmaline Straightener with Straightening Pins

So.. what is this red thing to the left?
It's a Conair 2" Tourmaline Straightener with Straightening Pins!
I actually bought this 2 years ago.. at Wal-mart because I had a old Conair Styler which is purple and has all the different plates (crimping, waves, star, shiny, and straight). That one wouldn't straighten my hair and the crimping feature didn't work for me.. It just left my hair very dry and brittle! My first curling iron was actually the Mary-Kate and Ashley Straightener (haha) and that was even worse! That won't straighten a strand of hair and pulled my hair too. I can't say the Conair Styler didn't pull my hair but it just wasn't as much.
Ok enough babbling about my history with straighteners.
This 2" Straightening features teeth on the inside which is suppose to help your straighten. I really don't like that feature and wish I got one without the teeths. I found that it actually pulls my hair out as oppose to straighten it. Yes, it hurts which is why I don't recommend it. If you are on a budget and are looking to buy a drugstore brand hair tool, buy one that doesn't have straightening pins. And also.. buy one that is smaller because that can curl your hair too. Best of both worlds there.
I believe they have discontinued this product. (I wish I can write my history paper as fast as I'm writing this. Ok ignore this sentence) I got it for around $35 dollars.. I'm hoping to get a new and better straightener which is better for my hair. Still looking into it!
