Garnier-Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil review



*I am a member of BzzAgent and received this product to test out and share my opinion on. All opinions are true and are my own. I am not being compensated* 

Hey, Everyone!
Today I'll be talking about Garnier's Miracle dry oil for hair, skin, and nails. 
Like my statement above says, I got to try this out for free. I've had it for a little while now and can fully review it.




The first thing that caught my eye about this oil is it's packaged in a spray bottle.
I've tried a few hair and/or skin oils and they came in a non-spray type bottle.
I really liked that it has a spray nozzle instead of pouring it out into my hands as I've had quite a few accidents with pouring too much out. Ugh! And too much oil is not fun to deal with...

I expected this oil to smell like the traditional Garnier scent, which it did not. 
It has a light floral scent similar to BioSilk shampoo. I can tolerate Garnier's traditional scent...this was cutting it close. Florals and I do not mix. 
This scent was not too overpowering so it didn't give me a headache, but I really don't prefer it.

Spraying the oil directly into your hair can leave your hair looking, well, oily. I found that spraying it into your hair and rubbing it into your hands/arms/wherever then using the left over oil and patting it into your hair works a lot better. 

I really liked it for my skin and nails. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily/greasy residue at all.

5fl oz is around $6 at most drugstores.

My Overall Thoughts:

I love the spray bottle. It's available for a great price. The scent I could live without, but it is a nice oil. 
Don't spray it directly onto your hair unless you hardly spray any at all. 
It's not my favorite oil for hair, but I really like it for the body and for the price you can't really go wrong. 
I'd give it a 4/5.

Have you tried out Garnier's Miracle Dry oil yet? What are your thoughts? What are some of your favorite oils?
XO

This polish came out in the Summer 2011 collection, I believe.

Dupe for Julep's January


With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I decided I should go for a nice tomato red manicure. I dug around my polish collection and found Essie's Silken Cord and painted away. I kept thinking it looked familiar and then it hit me! This looks exactly like Julep's January. 
So, I immediately had to compare. 
This is what I found...

Maybelline Color Whisper-Lust for Blush swatch



Hello, Hello.

My Target finally got in a new display of the Color Whispers that were unmolested. FINALLY!

I have Pink Possibilities reviewed and swatched here.

As soon as Target restocked I knew I had to get my hands on Lust for Blush.

Julep-Cupid's Mystery Box on sale now!




Anybody who has read my blog for a while knows I am a sucker for these mystery boxes from Julep.
I wasn't going to post about it, but Julep emailed me about the box again so I thought I better share before they sell out.

Valentine's Day happens to be my favorite holiday and I happen to love nail polish so this is perfect gift in my opinion. What girl doesn't love nail polish? ;)

On top of that each box will include a mystery holographic polish or a special code for a free polish of your choice. 
AND you might also win a $1,000 visa gift card or jewelry from Bauble Bar.

If you pick one up or happen to get one of these boxes, let me know what you get. I love seeing all the different boxes. 
Good Luck!

XO

Model Co.-Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease-swatch & review



I got this Model Co lip gloss in Strip Tease a couple of Birchboxes ago.
I haven't heard much about the brand so it got me interested.

Model Co is beauty brand based out of Sydney, Australia.
They're known for smart beauty solutions that are quick-fix, multi-purpose and unique. 
Basically, great for women on the go. ;)




Strip Tease-full size is $16
