Styling Products -Got 2 Be - Got 2 Be Curled-up Curling Spray

First of all, let me just say that I think it's so important that in all reviews people should state what hair type they have. All products work differently with different hair. I have wavy hair. I don't usually wear it this way because the curls aren't really tight enough to look good. I bought this hoping for some shape and I think it works fine. As with anything, nothing is a miracle but it left me with tighter curls and nice body. After the shower I let my hair air dry a bit and then sprayed the product on my hands. I did a scrunching motion throughout my hair and let it dry completely. No heating products as I believe they will poof it out. It's a little crunchy but overall okay :)

Blush -Ulta - Cheek Color

I REALLY like this product. I bought it for the first time about a year ago for my wedding and just recently ran out of it. I love how it completely covers and it's so natural looking. My shade is "girlie" and I find that it's perfect for my skin all year round; tan or no tan. Also, the packaging is just the right size and has never broken. A great deal!!

Hair Color -Garnier - Color Breaks - light blonde to medium blonde

This works! I have medium length hair and recently dyed it a light brown color. I wanted to add some natural looking highlights so I bought this in #2 (for light brow/med.blonde). I like that it says on the package that it can be used on color-treated hair. I agree that the bowl was flimsy but it worked out fine. My husband helped me with the back section. What we did is pulled up half my hair and streaked 6 half inch sections and in between those did little 1/4 inch streaks. Then on top we did about 8 streaks. They weren't perfect looking but neither are natural highlights. It broke up my solid color beautifully. I agree that "no conditoner included" was weird. I just used good old Pantene cond. for color treated hair and it was just as soft as before I highlighted. I will definetly buy again when these grow out.

Treatments -Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep

I received this free with purchase of hair color so I thought I would try it. It's great! It leaves my hair feeling so conditioned. I thought at first that it may be too heavy but when my hair dried, it felt great. It wouldn't use it more than once a week, though.

This review is for "Sandalwood" Dark Ash Blonde. My natural hair is a light cool brown, and I've been highlighting it for years. My highlights were about 2 inches grown out (almost unbearable really) and they had turned rather brassy. So I wanted to blend my roots and give the highlighting a break throughout the winter months, so I purchased this color. I have read on here that you should always choose a color lighter than what you think you need because it turns out darker. I made sure to do my roots first since I knew that the blonde hair would take to the color fast, and left it in for about 15 minutes. It seemed to take all the brassiness out, and left my highlights a nice cool blonde color and almost blended them into my roots. I think the color is very close to my natural shade and should last for at least a month with washing every other day. Also, my hair was very soft and manageable after using the once a week color treat included in the box. I feel safe using this as often as I need to. **UPDATE** It's been 3 weeks, and the color is definitely fadinng, but so far my roots are still pretty well blended into the rest of my hair. It hasn't faded all the way, and I don't imagine it will since I darkened bleached hair. I think next time I may try combining the dark ash blonde with a light golden blonde one just to keep the ashy tone from seeming gray.
