Review: Organix Moroccan Argan Oil

My hair had been desperately asking for some type of shine serum or oil so I decided to pick up the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil.

This hair penetrating oil isn’t pure argan oil but it does have a blend of it, which still provides your hair with the many benefits of argan oil.

It claims to penetrate the hair shaft restoring shine and softenss. Well I must say this does leave my hair shiny AND soft! I love applying this oil and waiting for my hair to dry into soft and silky tresses. Not only that, but it also leaves your hair shiny not to mention the nice scent that lingers for a while.

How I apply it:

I will usually just add this to damp hair as the last styling product I will use. If I straighten my hair then I will also add a bit to the ends of it once I’m done with the flat iron for added softenss.

Texture:

When you feel this oil on your hands you might think it’s a bit thick but once you rub them together and add this in you will see that it is actually quite light and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling at all.

Veredict:

I think this is an amazing product for a great price! I’m not saying this is like those expensive pura argan oils you can get at salons, but it is by far the best drugstore hair oil I have tried in a while! If soft and shiny hair is something you are looking for then give this a try!

The Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil gets :

A 5 on the Sweet Scale!

XOXO,

Review: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

I have never completely finished a pressed powder. For some reasson I always either lost them or they fell and broke into tiny pieces. So even trhough I have hit pan on my powders I have never actually completely finished it. Until now.

I used up my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder until there was not the tiniest little speck of powder left in the packaging! I didn’t lose it and I didn’t break it.I loved this powder so much that I treated it carefully and stored it so that I would never misplace it and have to go a day without this amazing product!

Yes, I’m in love.

This powder has it all, great packaging, amazing price and best of all it works! It keeps me matte throughout the day.

I apply this over my Revlon Colorstay foundation and it gives me a beautiful soft, matter finish. I only need to re apply this once somewhere around mid afternoon and I’m set for the entire day. This really is a great quality product.

Some other things I love about this product include the packaging, the price and the fact that you can just get this any drugstore. I love the packaging for this product because it has a mirror you can slide out from underneath and a great place to store the powder applicator so that you don’t have to place it over the product like you normally would with another powder.

This product can be found at most drugstore for around $7.

I want to introduce my new rating system that I will now be using for all reviews. It’s like a 5 star rating system, except I’ll be using little sweet candies! I hope you like it J

So the final veredict:

I love this powder and seriously need to go repurchase as soon as possible!

The Maybelline Dream Matte Powder gets:

A 5 on the Sweet Scale!

Blogmas Day 24!

Hey guys! Before I start of I would like to apolagize for not being able to do so many of the blogmas days. Unfourtunetly I had some personal issues as well a hard time getting my computer to work this week. I am however really excited for today's blogmas because it was written by Kayla, a wonderful beauty blogger!

She has some yummy No-Bake holiday treats to share with all of you! Be sure to head over to her blog a check it out, she has some great post so be sure to follow :) CLICK HERE!

Hey Everyone!

So, today I am doing a post on no bake treats! These treats are great for the holidays and are simple to make. Plus you can put them into a cute tin or mug and add a bit of ribbon and it makes the perfect holiday gift! :) So, I am going to explain how to make peppermint bark and chocolate cookie squares.

*Both of these recipes are from http://www.kraftcanada.com*

Peppermint Bark

This is a VERY yummy Christmas treat :) It is basically white chocolate and peppermint, what's a better combination than that?? (Well...maybe peanut butter and jelly is, but you get my point, haha).

What you are going to need:

3 packages of Bakers White Chocolate

1 Cup of crushed candy canes

(to crush the candy canes you can either put them in a blender or hit them with a spoon)

How to make it:

Microwave the chocolate for 4 minutes, or until it is completely melted.

Then poor the chocolate on waxed paper-covered baking sheet and sprinkle the crushed candy cane on top. Then put it in the fridge for around one hour or until hard.

Break it into pieces and eat! :)

Chocolate Cookie Squares

This is my favourite recipe out of the two. My family makes this a lot and on Christmas eve we always eat it <3 It is also pretty easy like the one above.

What you are going to need:

1 package of bakers chocolate (semi-sweet)

1/2 cup of butter

8 cookies, the reicpe recommends Dad's oatmeal cookies or Oreo, but I think any kind of cookie would be good :)

1/4 cup chopped nuts

How to make it:

Cut the chocolate and put it in a microwaveable bowl with the butter. Microwave for 2 minutes or until it is melted. Stir.

Break the cookies and add to the chocolate mix with the nuts. Mix it together.

Put the mix into a foil-lined square pan. Then put it into the fridge for 1 hour or until firm. Cut it into squares.

You want to keep this in the fridge though, that way it won't melt :)

They are so yummy, right? But overall, I think this would be a great treat for a party or hanging with friends (or those late night cravings!).

Hope you enjoyed this post! :)

Happy Holidays! And for those of you who celebrate Christmas have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
