Hi everyone!
So, it’s that time again! These are always my favourite posts to read and write about!
1. Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner
I picked up this duo on a midnight Shoppers run at the end of April and I’ll admit, I didn’t have very high hopes for it once I read the ingredients list, but Kathryn from Provincial Beauty had a very positive review of the Marc Anthony line which encouraged me to give it a try and I’m so glad I did! I noticed that when I let my hair air dry, it was actually a bit dry to the touch and just not soft at all! When I started blow-drying my hair, that’s when I noticed the turn around! My hair became so silky and soft! I’m not sure if this is a heat-activated shampoo and conditioner, but the heat really made a difference!
2. Pandora’s Makeup Box Eye Shadow in Honey
I raved about this eye shadow in my Pandora review so it’s not a surprise that it’s part of my May Luvs! This is a fantastic every day color and has just a little bit of golden shimmer which I love! I think it’s a colour that will look great on anyone.
3. LUSH Mint Julep Lip Scrub
I use this every day and not only does it leave my lips feeling soft, but it tastes SO GOOD! I love anything peppermint and combining it with chocolate, well I’m in love! I also love how tingly my lips feel afterwards and the fact that I can eat it all up! I’m always extra generous so that I can eat up any “leftovers”!
4. Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss
After finishing this product in Peppermint and loving the fact that it didn’t have any tint to it whatsoever, I decided to try one with just a hint of colour. Peach Kiss is perfect for just that and is a great lip balm to boot! You can see from my swatch that there is just a hint of nude shimmer to it.
5. AG Smooth Argan Flat Iron Firewall Spray
I quite like AG products, especially their shampoo and liquid varnish spray so when they come out with an argan oil-based line a couple of months ago, I was anxious to try it. I bought a travel-sized version of the flat iron spray just to try it out and I loved it! It smells good, is lightweight so I never feel like there’s anything weighing my hair down and leaves my hair so smooth and silky after straightening! I highly recommend this, it’s fantastic!
I can’t wait to see what everyone’s favourites have been for the month! Hope you enjoyed mine! Have a good evening!
That's too funny! I am doing my monthly favs tomorrow and I'm including the Oil Of Morocco shampoo & conditioner! I had the same results as you...when I let my hair air dry (which I usually do) it felt dry but when I used my heat tools on it it felt soft and silky and my hair looked super shiny! Weird & wonderful stuff! Haha! Love the Peach Baby Lips as well! Great favs! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, cool! So, I guess heat is the answer when it comes to Oil of Morocco! Can't wait to see your favourites!
DeleteReally makes me want to try the Morocco of Oil! My hair is so dry with alll the constant blow drying.
ReplyDeleteGive it a try! It goes on sale a lot at Shoppers so keep an eye out!
DeleteI love Baby Lips! I have three, they are soo quenching for your lips:)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to get ALL of the flavors eventually ;-)

I love the Maybelline baby lips!
ReplyDeleteHehe, it's great stuff!
DeleteHmmm...I'm going to have to look into this Oil of Morocco. My ends have been awfully dry and ugly looking!
ReplyDeleteOh, side note...I saw (from Helen @Beauty Delight's Glossy box post) that you've just picked up D3? Wanna Real ID it? hee hee...sounds kind of dirty :P
Hahaha, we actually have the starter edition and we're going to bite the bullet and buy the full version on Saturday. My ID is sakura#1987
DeleteAwesome! Let me know when you get the full version - my real ID (through battle net) is jjquan@hotmail.com. I'll try and add you with the ID, but I think that I need your email. :)
DeleteMmmmm I've always wanted to try a lip scrub...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if you had one that tasted as yummy as Mint Julep you would be scrubbin' all the time!
DeleteAnd it's not a crazy expensive shampoo line like some other argan oil shampoos (ahem Moroccanoil) which is great!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try the lip scrub, it sounds great! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's yummy and leaves your lips feeling really nice!
DeleteI def wanna try that shampoo and conditioner..I'm all for my hair feeling softer!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Lush lip scrubs.. cannot get enough.. haha I liked your comment..extra generous!

It seems that the shampoo and conditioner has been a hit for quite a few people so definitely try it out! LOL, I think I've probably eaten more of the scrub than I have using it on my lips!
DeleteHow interesting that both you and Chelsea had the same results with the marc anthony shampoo and conditioner... I will have to pay more attention and see if I can notice a difference from air drying to blowdrying.. but I am so happy you like it :) I think I may pick up the lip scrub I have been wearing more lipsticks recently which I find can be unforgiving if I have dry flaky lips.. not attractice! haha Love your favourites post hun!

Yes, love the Marc Anthony line! So glad you suggested I try it! Oh I know, lipsticks can be so drying and then towards the end of the day your lips just feel so yuck. The scrub definitely helps. I tend to use it at the end of the day for that reason.
DeleteI'm definitely going to look into that AG spray! I flat iron my hair almost daily :S And I LOVE Argan oil on my hair!! So that spray would be pretttttty essential for me! Thanks so much for sharing

I think you'd like the spray, I'm almost done my little travel size and I think I'm going to have to go and get the full sized one because I love it that much!
DeleteGreat favorites! I've really wanted to try some LUSH products myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a way for the Marc Anthony products to work for you! (:
Thanks! Lush products are awesome!! I am totally into them right now. I haven't seen you in awhile, hope you and your fam are ok!
DeleteI love these posts that you do, too :) Ooh that lip scrub looks awesome! I'm using one from Laura Geller and it also has that yummy peppermint flavor! Yum...hehe. I also love the Mayelline Baby Lips in that color! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like reading them! I LOVE anything peppermint! Anything. Candy, shampoo, foot cream, ice cream, doesn't matter what!
