WOWZA!!!

I finally got my package on Friday afternoon..... So of course I did what any normal person would do, I ran to the kitchen sink, washed my hair and tried out my new product!!! DUH!!! If you don't remember what I'm talking about its The Full Thickening Cream from Living Proof that I ordered from Sephora.

I ordered the small bottle which was $14. I'm kicking myself now because I think I could buy this stuff by the GALLONS. Anyways I honestly cannot believe how well it works. Between this and the Moroccan Oil Treatment I feel like I have a whole new head of hair. I don't normally have such good luck with hair products. Probably because I have super fine hair and most products either make it too greasy or just plain old flat and blah. If you have fine hair YOU NEED TO GET THIS!!!! If you have thick hair then just never mind and enjoy your Luscious locks and spend your money elsewhere. I cannot even explain it, my hair is fuller, thicker, bouncier, shinier and even when I put in my ponytail to wash my face tonight the pony tail was thicker. I have read that some people use to much and it really weighs their hair down so I was using it sparingly the first two times then today I used a little more than a dime size found the perfect amount for me. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!

Come ON Mr UPS driver.....

I just placed an order @ Sephora and this was the first thing I put in my "basket"!!! I have heard so many great reviews for this product and I cannot wait to try it. Its a thickening cream made by a bunch of nerds from M.I.T....no seriously it is!!! I have SUPER fine hair and I'm always up for something that might make my hair fuller!

This is what the "formal" description of the product is:

Full Thickening Cream
What it is:
A lightweight cream that leaves hair looking and feeling noticeably thicker and healthier.

What it does:
This styling innovation allows fine, thin hair to act like thick hair with naturally soft, touchable body. By depositing thickening points on the hair strands, Full creates a thicker surface that enables fine hair to have natural movement and bounce, beautiful shape, and volume throughout the day. While traditional thickening products create a hard, brittle hold that collapses upon touch, Full allows your style to remain flexible, soft, and resilient. Go ahead, run your fingers through your hair, no need to fear a style fall

And Here are some of the Reviews from customers that have tried it:

Waiting my whole life for this product- 02.24.10

Quick Take: easy to use, amazing

I've tried everything but this is the first product of this kind that has realy wowed me. I will continue to use and recommend to my friends. LOVE IT!!!

i have thick hair!!- 02.24.10

i love this stuff!!! it really does thicken your hair! i have fine to medium hair and very long hair and this really makes it thicker and doesn't weigh it down or feel sticky. i actually looked at a single strand of hair and it literally was twice as thick as it normally would be!! i wish they had a bigger bottle though for the money. like i said i have very long hair.

Volume without making my hair look dirty!- 02.23.10

Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use

I was at Sephora buying something and I asked a Sephora associate if she had tried this new Full Thickening Cream or knew anything about it, as there was a large display of it and I was considering buying it. She had BIG hair - shiny, thick and tons of volume - and she said she actually had fine hair but was using the Living Proof cream and it made her hair have tons of body. I was really impressed - if it can do that for fine hair, what can it do for mine?

I have chest-length hair that is on the fine side, but not overly so, and I used about a dime sized amount in my hair. Ran my fingers through my hair a few times (which was easy btw) - it had lots of body, and felt really soft and did NOT look at all dirty or greasy (something I was worried about). This lasted all day and it seemed like the more I touched it/ran my hands through it, the fuller it looked! Love it and will be purchasing the large After my experience with the Moroccan oil and what a HUGE difference that made I cannot WAIT to try this out!! I'll keep ya'll posted!

Better Than Botox???

So I was at Walgreens the other day just browsing in the face cream department. Something caught my eye. "Better Than Botox" hmmm? Really? So I picked it up and realized that it was on clearance for $15.99 AND I had a $5 off coupon that I had gotten in the paper a few weeks ago. I decided what the heck, for $10.99 I would try it.

So it's a two step system. You put the first cream on and let it sit and then put the second serum on. I'm not really sure what they say they are supposed to do. I put too much on the first time and it was kind of an awful mess. I used it around my eyes, on my upper lip lines and then between my eyebrows. And I'm not kidding you it actually worked to smooth out the wrinkles. I'm not sure how? I don't really care how to be honest as long as it worked. I have to say that thanks to good genes I have very fine lines and not deep wrinkles....YET! So I'm not sure what it would do for anyone else but I was quite surprised.

Better than Botox though?? Whatever

Update on Lash Serum

So it's been about a month since I started using the Loreal lash serum. Do I notice a difference......Maybe. I'm not convinced that its REALLY working. I feel like maybe my lashes are a little bit fuller and longer but I am not 100% behind this product yet. I am going to finish the bottle and decide then if I'm going to buy it again.

I'm still waiting for my husband to agree to me getting the $125 bottle of Latisse but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Freeze It!

One of my blogs wrote a review on this hairspray, said it was awesome. I bought it while I was in Florida because I couldn't find it anywhere around here. I got it at Walgreens for $5.99. The first bottle I got was broken and I had to return it because it wouldn't spray right. The second bottle I got worked pretty good. But I have to say it's only OK. The pro's of it are that it makes your hair really shinny, it smells fine. The con's are that its kind of sticky. I love it for my bangs but that is about it. I have to put a little hairspray in my hair to give it a little something. Otherwise my hair is so fine that it just falls. I would buy it again I think because it's cheap and smells ok. (smell is a big thing for me) I cannot stand something that stinks!! Ha! Since getting back from Florida I have found it at Meijer also. I'm still on a quest to find some GOOD hairspray. I'm open to suggestions!
