In Review: Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream

For Mother's Day, My mom gifted me the whole line of the Jane Carter. I tried all the products here and there. Some I loved. Some I didn't quite like.

The curl defining cream was one of the products that I didn't like much. I have never been too fond of cream defining creams. Though, I gave it a try. My initial thoughts on this products wasnt to good. It left my hair very frizzy with no definition. I didnt mind the results because I dont mind frizz but when I am looking for a product that suppose to define curls, I want the definition.

 Then I decided to try the product again. The second time must be a charm because I adore my results.

Initially, I put the product on as I do with any curling product. I scrunch it in. So I decided that this time I will try a different way. This time I smooth the product in. Some may call it the praying hand method. Then I racked my fingers through it.

 Each time I did sit under the dry. Each time I did apply a heat protectant. Both times I had very little crunch. It left me with soft hair. This time with soft coils that I love. I do have a lot of shrinkage but I love my wash and go's with a lot of shrinkage. I think its cuter that way. As you can see in the picture above...A LOT of Shrinkage. When stretched, my hair is collar bone length.

I have a lot of shine though I am sure that the heat protectant has a lot to do with it.

Will I use it again? Yes! Will I purchase again? Yes, if my results continue to be like this.


Thanks Mom!!

Influenster Sponsored: Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polish Review.

I have to say that I really like this polish. Two coats gives you a great  3-D manicured looked.

The top of the polish has a magnet with a nail rest to allow easy usage.

 Clip Resistant and great shine

Dont forget that the thicker the top coat the better the effect is. My daughter said that the design looked like ocean waves. The pictures below are of my daughters cute little fingers.

For 8.99, I will be purchasing again.

3-D Nail Art in Seconds! Revolutionary formula infused with metallic particles that move when exposed to the specially designed magnet to create an extraordinary effect.

Application Tips

STEP 1: Apply 1 coat of base coat. Shake Magnetic Nail Color to activate. Remove overcap with magnet and set aside. Apply 1 coat of Magnetic Nail Color to all 10 nails and let dry. STEP 2: Apply a thick second coat of color to 1 nail and immediately hold the built-in magnet over the nail. Rest the guide just below the cuticle without touching the wet nail polish. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat for all 10 nails and let dry. Finish with top coat.

How to keep your car smelling fresh

I don't know if I am the only one in the world but I hate those tree thingy in my rear view. But, I love getting in my truck when it is smelling like that new leather or new car scent. As browsing the internet, I found a few different ways to freshen up your cars without the ugly trees. I just had to share the tips with you...

1. Bath Salts.... sew or purchase a sachet and fill it with your favorite scent. Then place the sachet under the passenger seat.

2. Wax Tarts... You can find them at Walmart or even specialty stores such as Yankee Candle. Pfullace the tart in your cup holder. Be mindful of the area you leave in...the wax may melt in the summer.

3. Tissue paper and fresh herbs... Place the fresh herbs in the tissue paper and place under the seats. As the herbs dry the more you will smell.

4. Essential oils. You can either shake a few drops on your car mats or shake some drops on those old tree fresheners and place under the seat.

If these work for you, let me know.

Summer updates

Hi All,

I wanted to keep you all posted on whats going on this summer and will be taking a brief break (if you couldn't tell). I am back in school and the kids being out of school kept me away from the computer. I will be posting here and there but there will be a decrease in what I will be posting. I have a few eye wear pictorials that I have been working on. I will be posting them. I will keep you posted on my CurlKits Unboxing (10% off coupon code:VIC). I may not be doing too many hair reviews because I will be keeping my hair braided for the season.  I hope you are enjoying your summer thus far and I will talk to you soon.
