Ulta Haul!

My total for the order was $74.00. I know that seems like a lot for hair products but that is honestly a great deal! If I would have gotten them from somewhere else, they would have cost me around $106.00! So I saved $32.00 by shopping smart!

I got the bed head after party and manipulator in a set for $19.50. Ulta also has a sale that is buy 2 get 2 free Tigi products. I spent $54.00 on the other products.

I haven't used any yet, but I'm going to be trying them out every now and again and will post any reviews on the ones I like!

S-Factor Dream Drops

Okay so, last night I was bored and looking on Tigi's website at random things. I noticed on the right side of the site that there was something that said "Free Dream Drops" and so I clicked on it. The link is :

You get the dream drops for free and have to pay $6 dollars for shipping. I did some research and found out that Dream Drops retail for around $30 dollars!! Unbelievable. They also seem to be a wonderful product, so I'm super excited that I found this amazing deal.

I'm not sure why Tigi is giving them away for free though, maybe they aren't selling and they are trying to get people hooked on them. That seems like a good reason haha. I don't care though, because I get it for FREE :)

So I will be getting them in 2-3 weeks it said since they only have ground shipping, oh well. I'll be patient :)

So go get yourself some S-Factor Dream Drops and give them a try, what will it hurt? They're free! :)

Looking for a new regimen :)

I get so bored of my hair routine so easily. It's a curse, I swear lol. I sort of want to get away from Bed Head and get into all Redken products. So far my regimen is :

1. Shampoo and condition with either Bed Head Moisture Maniac, Dumb Blonde, or Brunette Goddess. (I don't like Control Freak, it dries my hair out way too much)
2. Spray the Chi keratin mist in my damp hair as a leave-in conditioner.
3. Use the Redken smooth down heat glide before blow drying and flat ironing.
4. Use a tiny amount of Chi silk infusion to smooth down fly-aways.

Okay so, I'm debating between the Redken Clear Moisture or the All Soft shampoos and conditioners. I want my hair to be moisturized, but not have a heavy feel. I'm leaning more towards All Soft though :)

I already know that I want to replace the Chi Keratin Mist with the Redken Anti-Snap. I've heard it's really good and I've wanted it for awhile :)

I plan on keeping the Heat glide because I like it. I'm looking for some sort of smoothing anti-frizz serum to use after flat ironing. Maybe the 01 Polishing Milk? I'm also looking for a volumizing mousse and a light hold hair spray. If you can recommend anything let me know :)

Bed Head Moisture Maniac

Okay so today I'm going to my third review on Bed head shampoos and conditioners. As you can see in the picture, I'll be doing the Moisture Maniac line.

This has to be my favorite smell out of the whole Bed Head brand. It's a nice refreshing scent of a piña colada, which really wakes me up in the morning. I've honestly never smelled a shampoo and conditioner like this before, which is what attracted me to it in the first place.

The consistency of the shampoo is a lot like the others, it's gooey and thick. It doesn't lather well, but I have recently learned that it doesn't effect your hair at all (thanks Anthony :]). A little goes a long way with this shampoo, I only use about a quarter size and it spreads throughout my whole hair. The conditioner is AMAZING. It is the only moisturizing conditioner I have ever used that spreads well in my hair. A little goes a long way with this as well because it seems to expand when it hits your hair. I know that sounds weird but it actually does. I feel like I put more on than I really did, which also makes it last for awhile! (I actually just checked and found that it might actually have a compressed formula, like most of Rusk's conditioners)

The packaging is a really pretty color of orange. They have pumps which is very handy. That's about all I can say about the packaging lol.

The shampoo makes my hair feel extremely clean. I actually use this shampoo to clarify my hair when it feels greasy. The shampoo itself doesn't seem to give any moisture to your hair, which I believe is to prevent your hair from being greasy after the conditioner. The conditioner is very moisturizing (surprise!). I'm not too sure what else I can say about it. It does what it says it will do, brings moisture back to your hair!

The price, just like the others, is around $20-25 dollars a piece on average. You can get them much cheaper though by buying them in a pack together in hair salons. Oops, I forgot to mention this, but in case you haven't read the other Bed Head reviews, I'm talking about the 25.36 oz. size bottles.

I do recommend this line of products. But you must keep in mind, that the shampoo itself will not moisturize your hair very well and in order to get a positive result, it should be paired with the conditioner! :)

Chi 44 Iron Guard

I mentioned in my Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide review that I had this and wanted to share how I felt about it, so I figured I should now.

The smell of this heat protector smells exactly like every Chi product. It smells like Curve cologne and it's not a bad smell. I actually sort of like it :)

The consistency of this product is a watery liquid, not much to say about that.

The packaging is actually really nice. The bottle is easy to grip and the spray nozzle works really well. I feel like it evenly sprays in your hair, which is very important.

It makes my hair feel very hard and sticky. I tried spraying it lightly and also using a lot, and it never seemed to fix the problem. My hair did feel extra protected, I just didn't like the hard feeling it left on my hair. I heard if you brush out your hair after flat ironing, it makes the hardness better, but it never fully got rid of it.

I payed about $14 dollars for the Chi 44 Iron Guard at Ulta. That is the average price that I've seen for it, and sadly I have yet to find a store that has a great deal on it. Oh well, I wouldn't be running out to get this product anyway.

So all in all, I do not recommend this product. For the price, you can get a much better heat protector. For the quality, you can spend much less. So look around before trying this, you will hopefully not have to spend this much.
