Falling for Friday

FYI: Falling for Friday: Posts that will occur on Fridays that will feature weekly products that I have recently "fallen for." AKA new products I have tried that I love ;)

The first falling for Friday post ever is all about this gem right here! This is probably familiar to most of us Youtube addicts seeing as everyone always raves about the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque. Well I am jumping on that train of supporters right this very moment. Oh my goodness this stuff is just pure bliss! 

I will admit that I used this product once and almost regretted buying it, but that was because I was being too stingy with how much I applied. This afternoon I showered up and pulled this bad boy out because I just knew it had to be me and not the product that caused for a less than average experience. Boy am I glad I tried it again. This time I applied about dab that fit nicely in the palm of my hand when before I just applied an amount about the size of a dime. I should have known better. Instantly I could just feel how soft my hair was becoming and not to mention this product smells so clean and fresh. It is really to die for! This product will most likely become what I reach for whenever I need a deep repair treatment because it really works wonders.


I couldn't help but share with y'all just how great my hair looks right this very moment. Normally my hair is a little frizzy and wavy, but nope not with this stuff. I wrapped my hair loosely in a towel for approximately 30 minutes before blowdrying it. The brush ran easily through my hair while I dried my hair. This normally is tough for me to do because I suffer from a serious case of the tangles. With the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque I found minimal tangles, thus making styling a breeze.

Normally this product can run pretty pricey at Ulta and other retailers, so that is why I have not shelled out the money to purchase it until just now. I really got a great deal though on this product. At my local JcPenny salon I saw a Christmas box set that had the Deep Repair Masque, Healing Oil Treatment, and Control on a after-Christmas-sale for $11.99. My heart skipped a beat I was so dang excited to finally get my hands on some Macadamia Oil. I have yet to try the Healing Oil or Control (which is a hairspray), but I am very much looking forward to testing the other two items out. You can bet I will be spending the big bucks to purchase the Deep Repair Masque when I run out of what I have now because it is worth every pretty penny. 

What new products did you happen to stumble across this week? If you have tried the Deep Repair Masque let me know what your opinion of it is!

Until next time!

Winter Holy Grail Product

This is my MUST HAVE winter product for sure. I have had such an issue with horrible dry skin this winter season. The reasoning behind this dry skin is a mystery to me, but either way this has been a cure for it. I use this mainly for my face, although I have put it on other dry areas like my shoulders and feet. It is definitely a multi-purpose product.

The Cetaphil moisturizing cream can be found at most likely any drug store like CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, and/or Target. I specifically bought this one at a Neighborhood Wal-Mart for around $10.

I read reviews over the product before purchasing and the main complaint I saw was that the product was too greasy and too thick. The cream is thick but what do you expect when searching for a heavy duty moisturizing cream. I have not had any issues with greasiness at all though. This product should last a long time because it does not take much to work efficiently.

In order to apply, I just rub a little dab, smaller than the size of a quarter, between my fingers and apply all over my face and down my neck. I make sure to rub in thoroughly in order to eliminate any likeliness of my face becoming oily throughout the day. I then apply a little to any other trouble spots I am having.

I have super sensitive skin and this product has not bothered my skin at all. The Cetaphil has only seemed to improve the way my skin feels. I have not decided whether or not I will use this product up through the summer because that will just depend on how my skin is acting then. I definitely will be repurchasing this forever for the winter months because it works wonders. All dry spots I had were completely eliminated.

Leave comments on your must have winter products! I would love to see what everyone else enjoys during these colder times.

Until next time!
