because i heart make up

I am total beauty product junkie. My bathroom is ridiculously overflowing with stuff. Anyhow, today is show us your life beauty products so I thought I'd share my faves.

First hair-
I wash my hair with Sally brand shampoos. I think I have blogged that before, but in an attempt to save money I started using these and I have stuck with them. They are just generic salon brands.

And about 4x's per week, I use Hask placenta after I shampoo and condition. My hair is very thick and damages easy. I put this stuff on before I get out of shower and I dig the way it makes my hair feel. I wash my hair every.single.day because although my hair is thick, it is so greasy and my head just itches at the thought of not washing it. It looks so oily 12 hours after washing it. It has been like this for my whole life. Anyhow.

I have tried dry shampoos, but I think it makes my hair look yucky. I dry with a round brush. I do use some CHI thermal stuff. I straighten with my flat iron or I curl it with the flat iron. Sometimes I do barrel curls with the curling iron. I tease the heck out of my hair most of the time. I wear it up alot. I love a teased ponytail. And, I too use Freeze it hairspray. I have been using it for years! Love it.
On to skin..
I use the WalMart brand of Neutrogena rainbath in the morning time in the shower. I use it while my skin is still wet and I love the way it makes my skin feel. I wash my face with Noxzema just because I love the smell. I love the way it makes my skin tingle.

At nightime, I slather my skin up before bed with Nivea Essentially Enriched. I put it everywhere, even on my face.

I use aerosol spray tan. I get this at Sally's and I love it.



Make up.
I wear alot more than alot of people do, just because I like makeup. My husband jokingly calls it war paint. I wear mineral foundation, but before I put it on, I use Cover girl foundation. Just a little to even out my skin and get a little more coverage.

I used to be loyal to Bare Minerals, but once I ran out and have been using Neutrogena #30 ever since. I use a foundation brush to apply it.

I use a bronzer too. A very light dusting of it but I have been asked by so many people how I get my skin to glow. I get asked alot so here's my secret. Bonne bell gold n glitz. I love this stuff, and it lasts me months with one little pot.

My biggest makeup trick is to not spend alot of money, I use cheap lipsticks and eyeshadows. I mostly use Wet and Wild, yes that really cheap stuff is actually great.
I love the eye trios, I use several different kinds depending on my look.

Their lip wand is the best. I love it!!

Ok, I had alot of fun writing this post and I am off to read all of your posts to get new ideas!! Happy Friday!

I love the Wet and Wild trios too- I need to run by my Walgreens because I heard WNW had new 9 pans shadows that are just $5.

Oh man do I love that little Bonnie Bell Bronzer! It's amazing! It can be hard to find though!

Wow, I hardly ever put make-up on, lol. I used to but then I had a baby, lol. Sorry I haven't commented in a while. Blogger has been acting weird and every time I click on someone's blog it goes to the "cannot display page"
