Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque Review


Boy oh boy I would have to give this mask a 5. I have being using the proactive refining mask and depended so much on it and I needed something to replace it without breaking my wallet. When going to walmart I found this product it was God sent. I got home and tested it out my skin pores were almost invisible. Then I had a crazy idea to use it was a spot treatment and it is great I placed it on my pimple and it helped shrink the pimple overnight. I have very sensitive skin and I was suprised this really did not break me out at all. The total apperance of my skin has really changed with the use of my neutrogena grapefruit facial cleanser, aloe vera gel, and aveeno moisturizer definetly a keeper. The price range of this product is from $2.84 - $3.99 depending on where you get it.

Lemon&Honey mask

I have acne prone skin and uneven and I want something natural to do this. First of all most skin products that indeed do fade your skin have so many parabens and chemicals that are not so safe for the skin. I have very very sensitive skin and I used this method during the beginning of the year and everyone saw a difference in my skin being junkie I wanted to look for other things and when I stopped using it there was a huge difference in my skin now summer is rolling around I'm looking for a safer way to do brighten up my skin and especially the fact that I'm traveling overseas. You can look up all the information http://beautybanter.com/diy-honey-lemon-face-mask where all of this can be explained.

Coconut oil for hair

Coconut Oil has benefited my hair so much the last week i have being looking for the perfect oil to use on my hair now that I am transitioning to natural. I basically use it for everything as a moisturizer and then seal with argan oil. As a pre-oil treatment before washing hair. My hair detangled quickly and was very soft. I always wondered what everyone was raving about but its so great especially for the summer weather coming up. Go out to your local natural food store and get this today.

My flat iron routine

1) Shampoo with the head &shoulder silky and smooth shampoo go after this with the aussie moist shampoo

2) Use conditioner (me creme of nature argan oil conditioner tips and joico moisture recovery and aussie 3 minute roots )

3) Place coconut oil and argan oil on damp hair 

4) Now once hair is 70% dry place balm and serum 

5) Blow dry hair then roots at moderate heat 

6) Place serum once more then flat iron using the comb chase method and your done 

This might seem like a lot but these are light oils that wont weigh hair down hope this helps 

If you are looking for joico products and your budget go to your local marshalls, ross, and tj maxx it ranges from $7.99 - $15.99

Garnier Fructis straigthening balm


Now I'm currently transitioning from relaxed to natural I' m loving it but dealing with the two textures is not the best sometimes I would like to show some hair but I want to hide the texture difference. I have being hearing of this product but never took the time to look into it I tried it mainly focusing it on the roots used my blow drier and my round brush. Without using allot of heat and time it quickly blew out. With my 4c texture hair this can be hard I would recommend this if you do not mind the silicon in the product this will go greatly with the Garnier fructis anti- frizz serum

I can officially say I am a junkie I love testing products and knowing what is right for me and what is not. I have tried everything from Clerasil to Clinique. I can say that this product line has being the best from me. I used Mary Kay Velocity line recently but found it caused a reaction for my skin. I had used the Neutrogena grapefruit prior to the Mary Kay and received a lot of compliments of the improvements and when I stopped I could see. I would recommend this for anyone and students who are trying to stay in budget.
