My favorite things in March 2013!!!

Everyone has their favorite beauty, bath, hair, and skincare products.  I have done a lot of research on products for all of those things before buying and after I bought a few of them I rated them 1-5.  


Hair Products:::

  This little gem of a product is the best hair treatment oil I have ever used.  I use it while my hair is still damp after the shower, before I let it air dry or blow dry. If you use other styling products as well this won't mess with those, just use it beforehand.  Ah-mazing!! Promise.  I would rate this at 5 stars because of versatility and it comes in a light version for super fine hair.  If your last chemical treatment damaged your ends, coarse, frizzy hair, or just want a great leave-in treatment, then this is your new bff!


Beauty Product:::


  Love! Love! Love! Smashbox BB cream is the best BB cream/primer I have ever tried.  It's about $38 a tube, you only use a little at a time so it really does go a long way.  I have super oily skin, so a lot of products don't work on my skin the way I want them too.  This works really well and doesn't leave a sticky, tacky residue on my skin.  A cheaper BB cream for oily skin that works decently is the Garnier Oily/Combination skin, it's a little tacky but once you put your powder or foundation over it, it helps.

Smashbox BB cream: 4 stars because of price

Garnier BB cream: 3 stars for the consistency


Skincare:::


  K, Lush is a new beauty brand I found out about and I love it so much like loveeee it!  They have anything from haircare, skincare, bath salts/bombs, and a ton of other stuff!  This company doesn't add fillers and chemicals into their products so what you get is clean, refreshed skin!!  The ocean salt is a great face and body scrub, it smells good and gets all the dead skin(eww) and impurities off of the surface.  Which makes your skin super happy!  The honey trap lip balm is the best I have used EVER! I can put it on before bed and wake up with it still on my lips, throughout the day you don't have to put it on 1,000 times, so it lasts! These two products are fantastic and I highly recommend them.  5 stars for both!!

Nice to meet ya!!

Hey guys!! Since this is my first post I thought I would tell you all a little about myself. I am 27 yrs old and married, with two fur bebe's.  I have been doing hair for 8 yrs and makeup for 5 yrs.  Color and cutting, especially corrective, are by far my favorite things to do and making my clients look and feel beautiful. I am also in college a year away from having my dual bachelor's in Psychology and Criminal Justice. Apparently, one thing at a time isn't enough!! Thanks for checking me out and come back soon. I'll always be posting new stuff from hair, makeup, and anything else you want to hear about.
You all are awesome,
  Nikki Martin

P.S. If there is anything you would like to hear more about, message me and I'll get to it!!
