Sally Hansen Salon Effects Review


I was in CVS one day and I ran into a display filled with the Sally Hansen Salon Effects and I immediately wanted to try them. When I brought them to the register, I discovered that they were over $10 and that is way to much for nail polish that can only be used once. When I shopped around I found Walmart had them for HALF the price! So I went head and tried out the zebra stripped. 





So here is my Review on the product:
Good-
  • Very easy to apply, takes approx. 10 minutes overall
  • No drying time. There ready to go immediately
  • Different shapes available for different nails; not one size fits all
  • Great patterns and lots of choices
  • Looks professional
  • Does not chip
Bad-
  • Way over priced for a once time manicure
  • Started to stick in my hair from the bottom of the nail after it began to grow out (about 3-4 days after application)

I really did like this product however I will not be purchasing it again. I personally would rather spend the same amount of money on a nail polish that I could use more than once rather than this just one time. I also was not able to wear it for longer than a week because of the sticking in my hair, which to me, is not getting my moneys worth.

Overall the good does out weight the bad and this is a great product that everyone should try out if you dont mind spending the money.

First Blog Post Ever!

I have been an avid reader of beauty blogs the last couple of months and everyday I am feeling more inspired to start one of my own. Today I actually chose to go through with it and waahhhlaaa. Here I am!
I think for my first blog, I want to share with everyone some of the amazing products that I found this past month and have been absolutely loving. Keep in mind that I have never done this before and please leave your feedback! Thank you!



The very first product that is my new FAVORITE is the Garnier Fructis 3-minutes undo dryness reversal treatment.

I am new to Garnier products but I saw that it was a dryness reversal and only $3 at Walmart and decided to give it a shot. This product is amazing for me and I love it. I have colored hair that is naturally oily, however because of my obsessive straightening and dying it is now dry at the ends. I use this product every time I wash my hair (3-4 times a week) and my hair has never felt better. I usually avoid placing too much on my roots because they are still oily but this has saved my ends and I recommend this to anyone with dry hair. 
  1. Good Price: YES
  2. Does what it claims: YES
  3. Would I recommend it: YESS

The next thing that I have recently discovered and loved is not a product but a face washing brush. With the electric face washing brushes becoming so popular and expensive I was on a mission to find an affordable good brush to try out. Unfortunately I did not find a reasonably priced electric one but this on is still just as amazing. Its the Sephora face complexion brush. 
This brush is only $5!!! and can be bought here
This brush had made my skin feel so soft and smooth. Since I have started using it, my acne has subsided and its fun to see how much dirt is on the brush after I use it and is no longer on my skin. I usually use this 3-4 times a week.
 
  1. Good Price: YES
  2. Does what is claims: YES
  3. Would I recommend it: YES
The last product that I want to share with you is another skin care product. I usually do not try out new face washes because I have very sensitive skin but I was desperate and willing to try anything that may help clear my blemishes.  
The Clean and Clear Advantage 3-in-1 exfoliating cleanser
Ever since I have been using this and my face brush, my skin has never looked better. That is saying a lot considering I have been struggling with acne for the last 8 years. I have oily skin and this did dry out my skin a lot this first week or two after using it however it has toned down after 3 weeks. The scent is almost minty and very refreshing and the exfoliating beads are not overly harsh which is a plus for us sensitive skin people! it costs $8.49 and can be purchased here
  1. Good Price: could be better
  2. Does what is claims: YES
  3. Would I recommend this: yes, but not for people with dry skin


Thank you everyone for reading and I hope you enjoyed my very first blog post ever!!!!!!!
