Garnier: Deconstructed Line (Beach Chic Spray, Move It Gel, Pixie Play Cream)*

*Press Samples

 Garnier's new Deconstructed line promises a done-yet-undone look with 24 hour touchable, deconstructed style with a soft satin finish. Having tried a pseudo-perm (where I waffled for about 20 mins at the salon and the dresser decided to finally imitate a perm by blowdrying so I could get a sense of how it would look before I committed....) I realized I wanted to do something NEW with my hair. I like my hair generally but I just wanted something different so instead of opting for the perm (though I still just may) going with styling products seemed an inexpensive alternative.

Swapping the Stash with Citron and Guavaberry

Let's be honest, sometimes we just want to try something without committing to the purchase. Thankfully, blogger friends makes this easy enough and so  Vanessa from Citron and Guavaberry and I had a little get together over the weekend, where not only fun times were had but also some blush swappin' was done.

L'Oreal Extraordinaire Gloss (Orange Tempo/Rouge Allegro) and Maybelline Elixir Comparison

If you're seeing this twice, its because it's also guest posting on Alicia's blog right now.

Since I loved the Maybelline Elixir gloss I picked up, I wanted to try out the L'Oreal versions as a comparision. Thankfully Shoppers was quite happy to help me out with this since they went on sale a few weeks ago.

I'm a huge LUSH fan and have converted more than a few people into LUSH lovers as well. Their Spring collection just launched and there are more than a few interesting goodies to pick up! I won't be able to test out the bath stuff just yet but am super excited to soak in the bf's tub at the end of April when I'm back home.

Current Face Favorites ft Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base (02 Champagne)*

*Press Sample

Very rarely have I rounded up "favorites" or really stated that I've been consistently loving something. Daily, I flip between so many products that having "weekly favorites" or even "monthly favorites" isn't quite possible. But lately, I've seriously been enjoying the Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base.
