Miracle Worker

As you all know I am absolutely hair obsessed and I am always on the look out for the new products to add to my arsenal. Let me introduce you to my latest find Kemi Oyl.

I first heard about this product from watching a couple of the ladies on Youtube and I decided to give it a try. I found this product in my favourite beauty supply store and I believe that I have struck gold. First of all, let me say that I absolutely love this product, it does everything that it claims.

The smell kinda reminds me of soap but it is not over bearing. I use this oil to seal my hair as well as to air dry and it really helps to keep the frizz at bay. After I apply this oil my hair is super shiny and moisturised. This is quite a heavy oil so a little goes a long way. I only use about three drops of this oil for my entire head.

My only concern about this product is the fact that the ingredients are not listed ANYWHERE. I guess the company that makes this really wants to protect their secret recipe.

My Secret Addiction

I have a serious addiction to lip balm. I hate for my lips to have that dry, crusty feeling. Yuck!! I was a loyal Chapstick user for many years until I found Nivea Lip Care SOS Lip Balm.

I tried this product merely on a whim and I can safely say now that I have to replace my beloved Chapstick with this product. The Nivea Lip Care SOS Lip Balm immediately quenches my thirsty lips with out making them feel greasy and sticky.it does not have a very strong scent like many other lip balms but the smell is quite light and subtle. This is great because  some of the other lip balms in the market are so strongly scented that they make me feel nauseous. I am really glad that I discovered this product.

Cheapies but Goodies

I love a bargain just as much as the next girl and in these though economic times any potential money saving  tips are certainly welcomed. There are several inexpensive products that can be added to your beauty and hair care routine in order to help you to save some money. Don't sleep on these products people.


St. Ives' Apricot Scrub

 

I really love this inexpensive scrub from St. Ives. It really does a great job on my oily, break out prone skin. I use this scrub about 3 times a week and it leaves my skin feel smooth and fresh each time. This is your basic facial scrub without all the bells and whistles but it certainly gets the job done.


Witch Hazel

 

This is a really old school product that many of you have probably seen in your grandmother's medicine cabinet. However, this product has several wonderful uses and can be found in many stores across he island. I use Witch Hazel as a toner and astringent after facial cleansing as well as after I shave in order to soothe razor burn.

 Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask

This is another old school, inexpensive product that is quite effective. I use this product at least once a week after cleansing in order to clear blackheads and shirk enlarged pores. After the mask is removed your skin will feel smooth and refreshed and instantly toned and tightened.

VO5 Clarifying Conditioner

As part of my hair regimen I clarify once per month in order to remove any product build up and to thoroughly cleanse my hair. I have found that this product is quite effective in doing this job. After I use this my hair has that squeaky clean feeling but i must remember to deep condition my hair after i use this product because clarifying shampoos tend to dry out your hair.

Coconut Oil

 

I love, love this product. It is so inexpensive but multifunctional. I use coconut oil as a moisturiser for my face and body, as a sealant after I moisturise my hair and it is also good as an eye make up remover.I also use coconut oil as part of my oil blend for oil cleansing. You can get so many uses from one bottle of coconut oil. it really is one of my favourite oils.

I hope this information was helpful.
