Small Drugstore Haul & Swatches!

Left to Right: Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray, FX Sea Salt Spray, Hard Candy Glow All The Way Face & Body Luminizer, Wet n Wild Coloricon Bronzer SPF15

I passed by Walmart and Walgreens today to pick up a few things! I was running out of my Nexxus Heat Protection Spray and decided to pick up the new one from Tresemme because it was cheap ($4.48 at Walmart). I also picked up the FX Sea Salt Spray because I cut my hair recently and I want some waves/texture. 

Hard Candy Glow All The Way Face & Body Luminizer in Glamazon Bronze

The makeup artist who did my makeup at the Make Up For Ever Makeup Bag Remix event used MUFE's Uplight on my cheeks instead of blush and I loved the look! I picked this up to try to recreate it. This "luminizer" goes for $8.00 and contains 76.6 g/2.7 oz. It's fairly large if you are only using this for your face. I'm excited to try this out on my body for the summer when I'm tanner!

Wet n Wild Coloricon Bronzer SPF15 in 739 Ticket to Brazil

I wanted to try Wet n Wild's Fergie Shimmer Palette but I saw this and it was cheaper! ($4.29 vs. $6.29). This bronzer is humungo. I'm afraid of dropping it or bringing it with me when I travel!

I saw the permanent display of Flower Beauty cosmetics and was tempted to pick up a few items, but stopped myself haha. I wanted to try the BB cream before, but didn't get it because it's kind of small and expensive for the size.

Suave Dry Shampoo

Finally got the Suave Dry Shampoo at my local Walmart yay! I was scanning the Suave section going "Yeah, yeah of course they don't have it" when I saw it. I started jumping up and down and my friends just stared, lol.

Compared with Tresemme's Dry Shampoo:
Suave: 5 oz. @ $2.74 (from Walmart)
Tresemme: 5.7 oz. @ $5.94 (from Walgreens)

Initial reaction:
Used it for the first time today and boy is it strong! Reviews said it had a grapefruit scent and I thought it would be a nice refreshing grapefruit scent, but no! It really made me think of regular air freshener sprays. Air freshener sprays=bad smelling bathrooms. It was very strong, stronger than the Tresemme's citrus scent in my opinion. I caught whiffs of it throughout the day. The good thing was that it did make my hair look better. It also did not become as flat and blah as the Tresemme one does, but I did not go through my usual 8-hr days, so we'll see. The one thing that I do like is the range of the spray. The spray has a bigger range compared to the Tresemme. I don't know how long this Suave can is going to last me though, because when I held both cans, the Tresemme felt heavier. It could be the can itself, but we'll see how long it lasts.

what's been going on in the month of june (thank goodness it's pretty much over!):
got these goody spin pins. all i've been wearing lately is a bun because my hair is at that awkward length between short and long. these work great and look better than a jaw clip!
finally got a bike! i've been wanting a cruiser for a while, but every time a good one pops up on craigslist, it gets sold. got this baby for $40, but i need to get it fixed. can't wait!!!

wanted to try another way of curling hair without using heat so decided to try out these strawberry curlers!!!
heehee strawberry head. i bought them from this seller on ebay because it was the cheapest (*cheapo heehee). they do work. the day after i slept with them on, i had very curly hair. i didn't have a good night's sleep though. i also think that my hair doesn't hold curls well without heat. either way, i think it's better than frying my hair : ]
