New year, new look.

First I wanna start by saying sorry for the delay in posts, the holidays kept me pretty busy.
Also Happy Holidays to all my viewers! :)
Want a show stopping look for your New Years Eve party? Want all eyes on you?
Well Ive got something that will definitely attract everyones attention!

Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting, Eyelashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design.

Unique and expressive, Eyelashes come in two sizes: accentuate the corners of your eyes with the smaller lashes for a subtle daytime look, or make a statement with the full lashes for a special occasion.

I think these things are just so cool and creative.
You can turn any ordinary look into a runway look by adding these paper accessories!
You apply them just like any normal pair of eye lashes, and they use regular lash adhesive.
They come in 11 different styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture:

Horses: symbolic of success
Peony: for happiness and good fortune
Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance

Peacock: auspicious and lucky days

Butterfly: free, beautiful and sensitive

Clown: bring the whole happiness
You can find Paperself products at Sephora or Sephora.com and PaperSelf.com.
They cost about $9 and are reusable.
Enjoy your New Year and maybe this exciting new look! :)

Brazilian Bombshell.

As you may know, if you read my blog often, I have had a pretty bad relationship with my hair in the past.
And I have told you many times about my all time favorite hair care line, Redken Extreme.
Well, I recently tried a new hair care line, which is now, a very close second!
A natural color fix from the Amazon Rainforest.

Developed to keep your mane looking and feeling its best, Surya Brasil's Color Fixation Collection is guaranteed to take battered hair - chemically treated, frizzy, colored and weak - and infuse it with the essential ingredients it needs to smooth and shine your colored 'do.

As Ive mentioned many times, Im a huge believer in being very pure. Not only eating mostly all natural, organic foods, but using organic all natural products.
So when I found this stuff I was super excited to try it, because
Of all the ingredients in the Color Fixation Line, there are NO parabens, NO artificial fragrances, NO artificial coloring, NO sulfate, NO sodium lauryl, NO sodium laureth, and NO harmful substances to human health or to the environment.

I have tried the shampoo and conditioner, as well as the leave in conditioner and restorative serum.
The shampoo and conditioner are a lot like the Redken products I love so much. They leave my hair feeling soft and beautiful every time I use them. They dont weigh my hair down or leave a built up feeling, they rinse clean.
The leave in conditioner..well, it isnt my favorite. It was a little thick, so it either didnt spread through my hair enough to cover what I needed, or it felt like I had wayy too much. When blow drying my hair, it felt like it took longer to dry, and even once I was done it still felt weighed down and sort of damp. After an hour or so the damp feeling went away, and my hair was very soft, but I still didnt like the feeling. For a leave in, I will stick to my Redken. But for the shampoo and conditioner, Surya Brasil is a great, cheaper alternative.
The prices range from $3.99 for the Single Application Intensive Treatment, to $9.99 for the Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner.
I am overall very pleased with the products Ive tried!

You can find all the Surya Brasil products, including the Color Fixation line at Whole Foods nationwide. Or at SuryaBrasil.com.
