Montagne Jeunesse Creamy Coconut Mask

You can purchase this mask at Ulta for $1.99. It is good for dry or tired skin. 
This mask also claims to be a hydrating vitality boost. This contains coconut water combined with shea butter to refresh the skin. 
To use you apply the mask to clean skin, let it sit for 10-15 minuets and than rinse it off your face. 
This mask smells so good! I really enjoyed using it. It is a very creamy texture, it felt very cooling on the face. After the 15 minuets it was on my face felt very hydrated and my skin felt tighter/firmer. 

Would I purchase? Yes!

Shea Moisture Weightless Créme Rinse Review

You can purchase the full size of this product at Ulta for $10.99.
This is a light weight conditioning rinse that softens hair while revitalizing natural waves and curls. It is certified organic and the vitamin rich Imbe Oil blocks humidity to control frizz, while aloe adds weightless shine leaving your hair soft and shiny. 
This conditioning rinse lived up to everything it claimed. It does smell very fruity, so if thats not your favorite scent you may not like this product. It is a creamy formula but it is very lightweight in your hair. It left my hair very soft, manageable and frizz free. It did not weight down my hair either. The only thing I did not find it to do was leave my hair shiny but I was so happy with the rest of the results that I did not mind that. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Psssst! Instant Dry Shampoo Review

You can purchase this dry shampoo at Ulta for $6.99. There are several different options. I chose the fruity floral scent. 
This dry shampoo claims to be a lightweight, talc free formula that soaks up oils, sweat and product build up. The fragrance claims to bloom overtime. 
To use this dry shampoo you need to shake the can, hold 6-8" from hair, lift sections of hair and spray scalp and roots. Wait a few minuets and brush and style as normal. You should also shake the can in between sprays. 
I absolutely love this dry shampoo. Out of all of the dry shampoos I have tried, this one by far works the best for my hair. It also smells great without that awful chemical scent some dry shampoos have. It does not leave a white residue on my hair and dries very fast. My hair always looks and feels clean after using it without it weighing my hair down, plus my style lasts all day!

Would I purchase? Yes!!!!!!

Delectable Everything Balm Review

You can purchase the full size of this Cake Beauty Delectable Everything Balm on the Cake Beauty Website for $16.
It is a sheer, multipurpose balm designed to naturally hydrate, smooth and condition everything. The main ingredient is Natural Castor Oil. It is supplemented with shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter and sunflower seed oil. It is also cruelty- free and vegan. 
This balm has a nice fruit scent. It healed spots of dry skin over night. It is a beautiful natural highlighter. It is a great non sticky, very moisturizing lip balm and it plumps lips. I could go on and on about how awesome this product is. It is a little greasy when you first put it on but it absorbs within minuets. 

Would I purchase? Yes!

Matrix Total Results High Amplify Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I received these shampoo and conditioner samples in a box I got at Ulta awhile back. You can purchase the full sizes for $12-22 at Ulta depending on which size you purchase. It is available in 10.1 fl oz and 33.8 fl oz. 
These products claim to boost fine, limp hair for lasting volume. It is also silicone free. 
My Mom and I have used the original Amplify formula for years and we both love it, so I was very excited to try out the new formula. 
It has a nice fresh scent that I really like. It left my hair very voluminous and soft and shiny. The conditioner does not weight my hair down either, and thats hard to find with having fine hair. 
Overall, I really like this shampoo and conditioner but I think I like the original formula a little better. 

Would I purchase? Yes

L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra- Nutrition Review

I received this small sample in the mail awhile back. You can purchase the full sizes at Target. 
The Eye Balm is $14 at Target. It has 10 precious oils and fortifying pro-calcium to renourish and redensify skin around the eyes giving a healthy glow and comfort. 
The Facial Oil is $14 at Target. This oil contains 8 essential oils and an SPF of 30 sunscreen. It is light weight and non greasy and absorbs quickly to moisturize, nourish and strengthen skin.
The Golden Balm is also $14 at Target. This balm claims to redensify skin, and provide extreme hydration. It claims to hydrate for 24 hours. 
I don't even know where to start with this product. My opinions are so divided. 
Using the eye balm was probably the best experience of this product line and even that wasn't very great. The eye balm is a thick formula that smells very clean and fresh. It did absorb into my skin very quickly but it left dry patches that I am still working to get rid of. 
The facial oil was probably the worst experience. It smells nice with a clean scent but it was extremely greasy and did not absorb into my skin at all. I ended up washing it off before bed just so it did not get all over my pillow. It also made me itchy. 
The golden balm was not much better. It has a strong cologne scent which didn't really bother me, but I know some of you are sensitive to scents. It was a thick creamy consistency but it was very greasy and my face felt very heavy with it on. It did absorb better than the oil though. 

Would I purchase? No

Leaders Daily Wonders Breakup with Your Ex-Skin Cells Exfoliating Mask Review

You can purchase this mask at Ulta for $4.00. I was very exciting to try this as I have never used an exfoliating sheet mask before this. 
This mask contains blueberry and edelweiss extract to visibly minimize fine lines and rough texture. It also contains witch hazel and alpine willow herb extracts to gently exfoliate and clarify. This mask can also be used on sensitive skin and is dermatologist tested.
To use this mask you apply to clean skin and allow to stay on 15-20 minuets. 
I really liked this mask! I did not think it had any scent so that was nice for sensitive skin. It was very saturated but not drippy. I hate drippy masks, they are so messy! My face was left very soft and moisturized and my skin looked very smooth and skin tone was more even. The only complaint I had was that I felt the serum did not absorb into my skin while I was wearing the mask. When I took the mask off the serum was just sitting on my skin, so I patted it into my skin and than it took awhile to settle in and dry on my face. My face was still very hydrated the whole next day.
