Hello Everybody!

Want fabulous hair without the uncomfortable feel of your hair being fried and unnatural? Then read on!


I'm sure you've heard about the Tresemme 24 Hour Body Hairsprays, here is my take on them. It was never my intention to buy this product at first, I was looking to buy the Tres Two Extra Hold Hairspray that everyone was raving about but at my local drugstore it was unavailable so instead I got this one. 


This hairspray is very different from the previous one I owned, different in the sense where the smell was unbearable. It left my hair with flakes that caused dandruff in my hair and left it feeling fried. Not this one! It's super light weight, your hair feels soft to the touch, definitely not sticky to the touch. I spray some product into my finger tips to put on my baby hairs, after applying, it does not leave a sticky residue on my hand. It does not have that chemical smell like most other hairsprays; it has a semi floral scent to it.


The  downside to this hairspray is that it does not stand up to humidity as it claims to, it also does not last 24 hours but who realistically wants hairspray in their hair that long? (Not me lol :) )




Overall rating: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Price: $7.99 USD 
Size/Weight: 7.7OZ
Would I recommend this? Yes


Pros:


  • Light weight
  • Non- sticky
  • Does not flake
  •  Leave hair soft to the touch
  • Does not have chemical scent
Cons: 
  • Does not last 24 hours
  • Hair barely stays together in humidity

In conclusion, this hairspray is really good. It will be a definite repurchase for me in the future!

Hey Cupcakes!


I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! Today I am here to talk about a palette from Sacha Cosmetics, some of you may not be familiar with this particular brand in the US but people from the Caribbean can identify. Just as a little history, Sacha Cosmetics was founded in the the country of Trinidad and Tobago (my home country :D) with the vision of catering for exotic skin tones like those of the ladies in Trinidad and Tobago.


Now, on to the review. I got the palette from my sister as a gift, I was beyond excited because I had heard so many good things about Sacha Cosmetics and I must say I was not disappointed. First thing that came to mind when putting on this eye shadow for the first time was "good quality", the texture sort of reminds me of Urban Decay eye shadows but it's not the same.You get 8 hour wear without a primer. What I did not like was some of the colors were not as silky smooth, it was hard to get true color and the fall out (minuscule with a quick fix of powder :)) 


Here are swatches of all the colors:





This palette consists of Greens and Neutral shades making it easy for every day use or formal occasions. It may be pricey for some but the quality is good and you get 14 shades for $25USD so it isn't all that bad in my opinion. All shadows have gold shimmer.


Here is a natural look I created with the Neutral colors from the palette:



If you are looking to try something different you can give this brand a try, if you do please let me know and if you own Sacha's products feel free to leave a comment in the comment section of your experience.
