Hair Hydrating Deep Conditioner Masque

I've been searching for low cost deep-conditioner/ hair masque for a while, and finally I found my true love! So I stopped by at the hair salon I go to get some "Its a 10 Miracle Styling Cream" for curls, but since they discontinued it (*sobbing* ), I got the "Regis Design Line Curl Lock Curl Cream", which  works pretty similar to the "Its a 10" product...then I saw  love at first site. Right there on the shelf was "Regis Design Olive Oil Enriched Line Hair Masque". I HAD to get it. I trusted Regis's other products, such as their "Curl Lock Cream" and leave-in conditioner..and besides this one had lots of healthy nutrients and olive oil in it - and smelled good enough to eat. Once I got home I shampooed & conditioned my hair, and once it was just damp I lathered on the  suggested amount of the hair masque (2 Tbl. Spoons), put it all up in a shower cap for about 10-15 mins - the time as directed. Then I took it out, combed it, and put it in a side braid for the night. The next morning when I took my hair out of the braid it was...heavenly. It was soft ,silky, and smelled amazing!!! I then styled my hair with  "Regis Design Line Curl Lock Curl Cream", leaving my hair light, bouncy, soft & silky, and very shiny! It definitely did the job, nourishing & hydrating my locks!! Love it!! It recommends to use it twice a week if you have dry/damaged hair, so thats what I'm planning on doing. My hair *was* real brittle & dry. And if I use this twice a week, I'll get a lasting boost! So excited!! Anyway, thats my story. I totally recommend it! It was only $10.00 at MasterCuts! :) 

                                                 "Regis Design Line Curl Lock Curl Cream"

                                          "Regis Design Olive Oil Enriched Line Hair Masque"

What I love about Regis Design Line: 

*Most of the products are either 30$ and down and/or $10 and down

*ALL of their products are wax, sulfate,  and silicone free

*ALL their products contain NO harmful chemicals found in drugstore brands

*ALL the products  I've used by them I've been 100% satisfied

*SUPER SALES ALL THE TIME!!!! :-)

And thats why I love my Regis Design Line! I hope you like this article! :)

UPDATE: You can find the "Its a 10 Miracle Styling Cream" in other salons such as the JCPenneys salons and some drugstores :)

This or that:

I use a variety of make-up; my routine includes these:

Lipstick or Lip-gloss?

Lipstick/lip-stain  for parties, nights out, and special events. I never use lip gloss anymore - too messy. I usually use chap-stick. My favorite lip balm/chapsticks and lipsticks are by L'Oreal!

L'Oreal Colour Caresse lip balm with a hint or *glow* of color! Feels like butter on your lips and is the ultimate moisturizer! Pluss its got SPF in it to keep your lips safe from the damaging UV rays! Just apply some before a day out in the sun and slip it into your purse/clutch/ bag and have it with you on the go for the best sun, wind, and chap resistance!



Liquid Eyeliner or Pencil Eyeliner?

I use liquid eyeliner because I find that it leaves a much smoother and flowing line. And its perfect for cat eye! However it does take lots of patience, practice and a steady hand! Yet the pencil liner tends to be chalky and not so smooth...

I like all of Maybelline's eye makeup so I usually use their eyeliner, as well as L'Oreal! I also love to use colorful eye liner and glitter eye liner :)


Liquid Foundation or Pressed Foundation?

Actually I use both! Yes some of us do this - others think its too much. But for me, I need the coverage! I have blemish, freckles, and minimal acne scars...so I double action is best! Plus layering and blending the pressed foundation on the liquid foundation keeps your complexion from appearing greasy or sweaty on hot summer days; likewise it keeps it from "melting".

These are what I use, by Maybelline. The foundation is a airfoam formula! Its amazing!

Volume Enhancing  Mascara or Lengthening Mascara?

I dont have very long lashes, instead I've got lots of volume with minimal length. So of course I choose lengthening mascara...but my favorite lengthening one is actually a 2 in 1...

The L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes™ Mascara. I mentioned this mascara in one of my other posts . Its both "Voluminous" and length enhancing. The formula contains fibers that rap around your lashes protecting and lengthening them. The results are near miraculous lol.. They truly quadruple the length of you lashes. They look like real falsies..if that makes any  sense..Anyway if you try this you will be proud to bat those lashes girl! I definitely recommend this :) 

Pressed eye-shadow or creme-gel eye-shadow?

Knowing me, I'm kinda clumsy...so I'm better off using the pressed eye-shadow. However when I'm not applying it myself, I find the creme eye-shadow very pretty and long lasting. But I also dont like how messy it can be..or is that only me? I just haven't much experience with it ;)

I love to use any eye-shadow by L'Oreal or Maybelline or CG. Revlon I find clumpy and too textured. My favorite shades are by Elf! :) 

Bronzer or Blush?

Definitely bronzer!! I dont think blush fits me..something about my facesshape and the shade of my skin & complexion.. 

 I like to use Maybelline's bronzer!

Applying with brush or sponge?

Most always brush! Better at contouring, blending, and everything! The only makeup sponges I do like are the beautyblending egg shaped make up sponges..but these only work with certain blending and contouring. So  really all I use are brushes. 

I like Sephora's brushes! 

So all in all you can imagine what the inside of my makeup bag looks like? Lots of L'Oreal & Maybelline - yes. And lots of variety! Hope you like!! :)
