Do it yourself!!
China Glaze is the best product for the at home manicure!! It has a very unique scent that has a light bubble gum scent. The intensity of the scent wears down very quickly and then you are left with nails that smell like bubble gum.
It is a thicker top coat. One of the best things about the thickness is that it fills in all the scuffs or imperfections that you get from doing your nails yourself. One of the best things I like to do with it is paint my nails before bed and in the morning apply the top coat. It will mask all the smudging and sheet creases that i get from falling asleep before my nails are completely dry.
Since it is a no chip it lasts as long as a profesional manicure. When i do my nails at home by day two i have a chip or it has pulled up on the sides and with this top coat I avoid this!
I love the shine probably the most. Like I said, it is a thick application and it lasts so it always looks like you just got your nails done. It has a really nice high gloss shine that makes it look like you had all the time in the world to get an amazing manicure, but it dries so quickly that you don't have to waste all your valuable time.
Love this in more than two ways!
This is an AWESOME foundation! First off, it's mineral based which means it's not as thick and clumping, and it won't clog your pores or create that kind of line you get from liquid foundation. Also, being from Aveda it's more naturally derived, so almost everyone can use it because it's not irritating to the skin from being more chemically derived. Your not going to break out from it as easily because it's: A) mineral based and B) it's made from natural ingredients so it's not getting into your pores giving you pimples and stuff. A lot of people have hesitations when it comes to foundation, but with this product you don't have to worry about that.
The coolest thing about it is that dual means there are two different way to apply it... wet and dry. When you get it, it comes with a powder sponge, when you apply with that or any type of sponge you'll get a thicker coverage. When you apply with just a powder brush, you'll get a lighter coverage. So depending how strong you want your coverage, you get that control in one product.
Also, it's a foundation and a powder in one, which is another way in which it's a dual product. You can also take it from a dry foundation, use a wet sponge, and now you also have a liquid foundation, which is really cool. So there are a lot of different ways you can apply it to the skin. In one little compact you have a liquid foundation, a dry foundation, a powder and a heavier or lighter coverage option.
It comes in many different colors so you can get the range that you want with it to match your skin tone. It just gives a really nice healthy glow to the skin and that coverage, evening up the skin tone without that cakiness that you can get from other foundations. So you can get that heavier coverage if you want without using a product that has a caky, liquid, chemical base.
More than one way to love it!
Bumble and bumble hair powder is great because it's a dry shampoo which means it's main function is to absorb oils. One of the best things about it coming in aerosol and not as a loose powder is that with an aerosol you get great added texture. It brings old hair styles or day two of hair styles back to life by adding that texture that us fine-haired ladies need. Putting a texturizing product onto the hair will produce a build up where this product absorbs the oil and does the exact opposite. So you don't get any build up, but you still get this amazing texture that your looking for.
It's great that it's travel size because it's so easy to hide in your purse. If you have fine hair and do your hair before work and want to go out in the evening, you can re-spray it at the root and it absorbs all those oils. Another added benefit is that it absorbs scents keeping your hair fresh on day two.
Say you go to a bar the night before and you get that bar smell in your hair... It'll get rid of it the next morning if you don't have time to shampoo your hair before work.
One of my favorite things about this stuff is that it deposits color, which is great if you have roots or re-growth. It can mask the color difference when you can't get back to the salon or if you can't color your hair that day. It's also great for people who have super fine or thinning hair who want something to fill in thinning layers. It will deposit color and you can spray it not only on your hair, but straight to your scalp if you have thinning hair.
This is one of my major go to's and has a lot of different uses that can benefit you in a number of everyday situations.
Hope you love it as much as I do!
