Ahh so clever

Yep you got me. Your catchy commercials with Shakira and Madonna songs. Your colors that pop down the aisles: shades of blues, pink, purples, yellows. Those color/bottle combinations for every problem or Your bottle in different shapes. The inexpensive pricing. Oh yes Sunsilk you got me. I bought some of your products. Your good, you're really good.......at marketing. At making a good product? not so much.

See the catchy colors? See the models that look like they're having a blast? The nice font that matches the colors? Easy-to-Read descriptions.

Let's start with Sunsilk's Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme aka the pink bottle.


It has Nutra-Keratin in it which I assume makes your hair less wild. It claims to give you "soft hair that flows together". What sold me is that its a mousse/gel hybrid, bringing you the best of both worlds. Or so I thought. I don't like mousse because it weighs my hair down and I don't like gel because it leaves my hair crunchy. Hair shouldn't crunch.

The only thing I do like about mousse and gel is that they can hold my hair in place when I need it.

Sunsilk's Hydra TLC left my hair fluffy. Sure it was a tad softer but I do not want fluffy hair. Fluffy hair reminds me of the 80's crazy voluminous hair days. Fluffy hair is another form of frizzy hair but only with a little conditioner in it. A fluff ball....yeah that's what my hair looked like.....like a big fluffly cloud. No thank you.

Next up, Sunsilk's Anti-Flat Weightless Volumizing Creme

This one comes with "Collagen-C". ooooooohhh ahhhhhhhh. I don't know what that is but sounds good, right? I liked the claim of "visible oomph without that crunchy feel" sold!

The Anti-Flat is another hybrid from Sunsilk. It's the combination of a conditioner and a mousse. It felt more like a leave-in than a mousse. This is what your hair would feel like if you left conditioner on instead of rinsing it off.

Softness? a little.

Hold? not really

I give both:

Stuck in a Purple Haze

Recently I've been in love with the color purple. Purple shirts, purple converse, purple headbands. Purple, purple, purple. So of course when I stopped by the drugstore and saw purple eyeshadow I had to have it.

I think what drove me to buy purple is that spring is almost here and I read somewhere that purple not only brightens your eyes but makes brown eyes pop.

I bought Wet n Wild's Mega Eyes and EyeGlide by Revlon. Two basically similar colors of purple lavender but in different forms. The eyeshadow from Wet n Wild wasn't glittery but more of a shimmer. It also lasted through the night, through dancing, drinks and after hour partying.

EyeGlide comes in a stick and has a creamy texture. It's sort of like a lip balm for your eyes. It has a spongy tip with holes at the top. You choose how much you want by turning the bottom. The only thing you have to watch is putting too much on. With too much the eyeshadow gathers at the crease of your eye and doesn't look so cute. It also smudges more than the eyeshadow.

Next up...I just ordered an eyeliner from Avon in eggplant :) I won't OD on the purple though, purple eyeshadow & liner together?...that would be a NO.

Oh yes, before I forget. For the eyeshadow :

For the creamy shadow

Concealers

Dark circles, uneven skin tones, freckles, sunspots yup that's pretty much what I have. I've dabbled with a few concealers. There was that green one that was supposed to even out my skin tone. I never got over putting green on my skin....that is, unless its a mask.

I've tried different brands, from cheap to not so cheap. Here's my recents:

NYC in Medium
The cheap stuff is always good to try. If you don't like it then you can just toss it. It only costs a few dollars and you got to try something new.

I like experimenting with NYC but not for concealer. I only used this for my dark circles under my eyes. The color was too fake, didn't blend or melt into my skin. It was too oily and stiff.

I wouldn't buy this again only if I was in dire need and nothing else was available. It's still better than my next choice (maybelline)though. That's why I give it :
