Tigi Bed Head Sugar Shock

I bought this because I have a sweet tooth and maybe sugar for your hair could be a good thing, right?  Not so much.  It isn't horrible, I just don't love it.  It's supposed to give your hair double the volume but it doesn't really do much for my hair.  That could my problem, though, and not the product.  My hair just doesn't take well to some things.  This costs $8.50 at Ulta.  I'm reluctant to say money wasted or well spent.  On this product, I'm pretty neutral.  Personally, I won't buy it again.  But, it may work well for a different hair type.  

Mary Kay Roll-Up Bag

I received this bag as a gift from a friend that is a Mary Kay consultant just a few weeks ago.   I started packing it last night for a trip I'm taking.  I love this bag.  It doesn't look like it would hold very much, but it does!  It also helps to keep things organized.  To quote another friend, "I personally find it amazing.  I just hang it up near my mirror and for travel it is the best.  Hangs on the door in the hotel bathroom, or near the mirror."   It's $35 at marykay.com or from a consultant.  Even though I didn't buy it for myself, if I had I would consider it money well spent!

Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer

This is a clear primer that you use under foundation.  It wasn't even on my radar screen that a primer was something I might "need".  But, I received a sample of Sephora's primer with the purchase of some different products, so I gave it a try.  I liked the result of using a primer, so I thought I'd try a less expensive version.  I ordered this from drugstore.com for $8.49.  I really can't tell whether it makes a difference or not - which probably means that it doesn't.  Even though I like Sephora's, when this is used up (which will take a long time), I'm not going to buy another primer.  How many steps do I really need to take when I'm getting ready in the morning?  Sorry, Rimmel - money wasted.

Laura Mercier Eau Gourmande Almond Coconut

This perfume is unbelievable.  It smells warm but fresh.  It's the balance between the almond (warm) and the coconut (fresh).  When I wear it, I get whiffs of it all day and it makes me happy.  It is delicious.  It's $50 at Nordstrom.  So worth it!!! Money well spent!

Schwarzkopf Thicker Fuller Hair Instantly Thick Serum

Like I said in my first post, my hair is fine.  So, I'm ever looking for products that will help thicken my hair.  This is one that I tried that didn't work.  It just makes my hair static-y and

weighed down.  It is only $8.99 (folica.com) - but sometimes a less expensive product will surprise you!  Not this time.  Money wasted.

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Revealing Peel-Off Facial Mask

This peel off mask is an inexpensive way to get a mini face lift!  I put it on around my eyes and on my forehead - where my fine lines are setting in.  Sometimes I leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour prior to going out in the evening or apply it before bed and sleep with it on.  When you peel it off, your skin is smooth and wrinkles are diminished or completely gone.  It isn't a permanent fix, but for $3.99 (at drugstore.com), it's a no-brainer.  Money well spent for sure!

Bumble and Bumble Dryspun Finish

This stuff is a miracle in a can.  I'm not kidding.  I have fine hair that is difficult to work with and this product makes my hair look instantly thicker - even if I'm having a bad hair day.  I almost wish I wouldn't have found it because now I have to keep buying it!  It's a bit pricey.  $29 for a 4 oz. can but in my opinion, it's money well spent!
