Date Night Prep Night

Every summer I get frustrated because my hair fades. Directly at the top of my ears I have an obvious line of dark brown and light reddish brown. I think it looks awful.
 
 

 

So I treated myself to a box of Garnier Nutrisse Dark Chocolate Brown. It gave me the best color match I have ever had. Normally I go with a Medium Ash Brown color of whatever I have a coupon for, but I decided I was going to go darker this time and see what happened.
 
 
 
Boom baby! To celebrate my return to a single haircolor, I bought myself a Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Twilight.
 
 
 
I love the felt tip for the stain. I was able to outline my lips and fill them in very easily. You can layer the stain on to make it light or dark and it sets in 30 seconds. I thought the lip balm had a great shine and left my lips soft after the stain was a bit drying.
 
 

 
What is your favorite lipstain? 
 
 

Tree Hut Brazilian Nut Review

Has anyone else tried Tree Hut products? I recently picked up the Shea Moisturizing Shower Wash and the Shea Extra-Rich Moisturizing Lotion in Brazilian Nut. They smell so delicious that the shower wash states, "Even though Tree Hut products smell good enough to eat, they are FOR EXTERNAL USE only." I honestly didn't even bother to smell the other scents, it was so good.
 
 
 

I am usually disappointed in the quality of the product after being lured in by a wonderful scent, but in this case I was pleasantly surprised. On my upper arms, just below my deltoid muscle, I get a lot of folliculitis because of dry skin and fabric rubbing against the irritated skin. I have used many products to try to clear up the irritation, but they would have no effect or would clog up my follicles more. Picking or scratching at your skin will NOT help your skin heal. *sigh*
 
 Shower washes never really seem special to me. I haven't found one that really made my skin feel better until now. I felt as if the wash actually gave my skin moisture without leaving the sensation that I still had the stuff on me. The texture of the lotion is very smooth, non-greasy and it absorbed very well. These products have given my skin the moisture it needs to protect itself in just a little over a week. Amazing! I absolutely will buy this again.
