Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream

MY REVIEW:

I have heard some great stuff about this product so naturally I was very excited to try it. I was a little disappointed in it but it wasn't the products fault :-/ The product I received from influenster for review was for scrunching hair that I imagine is already wavy or curly hair. I have seen women with curly hair use it and it curls right up and does its job! I unfortunately do not have curly hair. I tried it once as directed after towel drying with a quarter sized amount. It did nothing but make my hair look a little greasy. The next time I made sure my hair was more damp and dumped a large amount in my hands and saturated my hair. I then blow dried and got the kinky moves i was looking for. For me it turned out to be more beach wavy. I would recommend this imparticular product for women with curly hair. For me not so much!  Although it does have a fabulous smell and doesn't make your hair hard when you use it like gels or sprays. Give it a try if you have naturally wavy or curly hair!

SWATCHES OF DARK SHADOWS PALLET! 

Over the primer included.

MY REVIEW!

 I really like this product it is very good quality. I think it has great pigmentation especially over a NYX jumbo pencil in milk. Although it does work good with the included primer!

I love the variety of colors and the ease of blending. The slight sparkle gives my smokey eye something special and I love that.

There is one downfall to this product for me. I really really don't like the fact that the shadows are next to the creamy illuminating cream & primer. The shadow sticks to it and eventually ruins the ability to use the primer and illuminating cream. No matter what I did I couldn't keep them separated. I would have been happy just to buy the shadows.. and then purchase the primer separately. The illuminating cream felt unnecessary to me. Over all I really love the product and think that it is well worth the price just for the shadows. I would buy the other pallet's!

 Essential Facts:

 Beautiful Skin - the newest and easy to use two-step range of everyday skincare cleansers and moisturizers, tailored to your specific skin type eliminating the need for toners. Products are color-coded, making it easy to find just the right products for your skin type: Normal/Oily (Pink), Normal/Dry (Green) and Dry/Very Dry (Lilac) 

 No7 appreciates that busy lifestyles mean you don't always have time for a lengthy skincare regimen. That's why we've created Beautiful Skin. Discover radiant skin in 14 days with two simple steps:

Step 1: Cleanse
The first step to beautiful skin is clean skin. All Beautiful Skin cleansers quickly and gently remove all traces of dirt and impurities, leaving you with perfectly clean, healthy skin. Skin is so effectively cleansed that there is no need for a separate toner.

Step 2: Moisturize
Once cleansed, hydrate your skin with our nourishing day and night creams. All our day creams deliver SPF 15 and Broad Spectrum UV Protection, while our night creams work to promote optimum hydration while you sleep.


Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Balm Dry/Very Dry
A gentle, non-drying balm that cleverly dissolves make-up and impurities to help keep skin looking clear and healthy. Works in one simple step leaving no residue, just perfectly clean, soft and supple skin. It includes replenishing ceramides to help nourish dry skin and Glycerin and cocoa butter for deeper hydration.

How to Use
Spread a little cleanser between fingertips and palms of hands. Massage into the skin, working upwards across the neck and face, avoiding the eye area for about 20-30 seconds.

Best applied to dry skin, massage upward and across the skin using cotton or wool, avoiding the eye area, and wipe off.

 

 

 My Review:

I received the Boots No.7 Beautiful skin cleansing balm & moisturizer for Dry Skin!

Not very many products work on my skin to relieve the dry, red, and even cracked skin I get around my nose and mouth. I used this product everyday for a week at bedtime. I washed my face with the cleanser and then finished with the moisturizer. I noticed my skin felt and looked more beautiful the very next day! I really enjoyed using this product and will be purchasing it again! :-)

48 DAYS WITHOUT A SCALE

 48 DAYS WITHOUT A SCALE

So after 11 months of weight loss and losing 100lbs my nutritionist & I have decided that I will not step on a scale until my next Appointment. My next appointment is October 10th. The reason for not stepping on the scale is to trust in myself that I have learned how to change my life and to not be so crazy about the numbers going up and down. This blog is going to be a collection of my feelings and pictures along the way. The weight I was yesterday at my nutritionist was 254.4 lbs.

 DAY 1-Pictures & Thoughts

FRONT VIEW

SIDE VIEW

I have decided to blog my morning feelings because I have noticed that is when I am most concerned about the number on the scale. I woke up today (Day 1) feeling confident in myself. I felt lighter and am curious to know but not desperate. I am looking forward to exercising today and eating right like normal without the confinement of a number.




DAY 2- Pictures & Thoughts

SIDE VIEW

FRONT VIEW

It is the morning of Day 2 and I am feeling a lot of anxiety. I want to step on the scale just to make sure I ate right and did everything they way I was supposed to yesterday. For the first 11 months of my journey I relied on the scale and my mind to know what I did right and wrong. Now its just me and I am a little afraid I am going to mess up. The pictures are almost identical so I am feeling positive about that. I am going to push through the anxiety and continue my journey.


DAY 3- Thoughts & Pictures

FRONT VIEW

SIDE VIEW

Woke up this morning feeling a little puffy but I also was on my feet all day yesterday. I was incredibly axious yesterday evening wondering if I was doing everything right but I think overall I am doing a great job without my scale. The pictures make me feel better. I see little things day by day that let me know I am doing a good job!  

DAY 4- Thoughts & Pictures

SIDE VIEW

 I feel really swollen and agitated today. Feel like I look horrid and am incredibly uncomfortable in everything. Hopefully tomorrows a better day.

 DAY 5- Thoughts & Pictures

 I have been feeling very swollen lately and in a lot of pain. So if the pictures seem a little puffy I am. I am not too worried about it because it frequently happens depending on the day. Still driving me nuts not having my scale but I am pushing through.


DAY 6- Thoughts & Pictures

FRONT VIEW

SIDE VIEW

Today I woke up feeling a little less swollen. The pictures made me happy. This is going to be a rough 42 more days. Seems stupid  I know but its rough. I can do this though!! 

DAY 7- Thoughts & Pictures

 BACK VIEW

SIDE VIEW

 Today has been the best day yet.. I feel great I look great! I am so proud of myself today..I am 10 sizes smaller than 11 months ago! <3



 DAY -8 Thoughts & Pictures

 Side View

Front View

 So excited for the day and can see the difference in my pictures! Been in a lot of pain lately so I swell fast but in the morning the biggest difference can be seen. I know I can be without a scale now but am still nervous at some point everyday!



UPDATE! 18 DAYS UNTIL I SEE THE DR!!
Here are my updated pics!!

SORRY I HAVE NOT UPDATED IN A FEW DAYS.. I AM EXTREMELY SWOLLEN FROM MY ENDOMETRIOSIS AND ALL THE PAIN I AM IN.. Hopefully soon I can give you some more pictures!
