Got2b Rockin' It Dry Shampoo

A so-so dry shampoo

I haven't tried too many, but this dry shampoo works pretty good. I was desperately looking for some at a drugstore one workday after realizing my hair was looking pretty dirty. This was the only one the store had in stock and it was cheap, so I went for it. It worked great at absorbing the excess oil and left my hair looking pretty good (and powder-free), but it started feeling kind of dirty within a few hours, so I ended up with a ponytail--albeit a clean looking one! The can has lasted a while, but I've since realized you need to shake it really, really well each time you use it. The can isn't empty, I can feel plenty in there when I shake it, but there isn't really any powder left so I spray and spray without getting any powder to rub in. I guess I didn't shake well at first and used up all the powder before the other stuff in the can (whatever it is!). The only thing that I don't care for much is the smell--like I'm a walking bouquet of roses. Luckily, the smell wears off after a bit.

CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

Perfectly natural

I started using this right after it first came out (a few years ago?) and have stuck with it ever since! I've tried sample sizes of higher-end brand mascara's from Sephora, but wasn't as happy as I am with CG LashBlast--especially for the price. What I love best is that it coats well and adds a good amount of thickness to my lashes without getting gloppy, clumpy, and tarantula-looking:/ I have fairly long lashes, but they're light; it's awesome to be able to cover them with enough coats to make them stand out, and to keep them natural looking! People ask me all the time now if these are "my real lashes." Yep, just with a little help!
