It’s Friday, Friday, Gotta Get Down On Friday! Haha-Sorry if you now have that horrible Rebecca Black song permanently stuck in your head all day, but hey at least it’s Friday! š Can’t believe another month has already come and gone, but definitely enjoying the pretty weather here lately.
My plans for the weekend include organizing and pricing items for my huge garage sale next weekend. I’m excited to get rid of a lot of items that have just been cluttering up our home and to have less “stuff” to worry with. What are your plans for the weekend?
Here’s My 5 Beauty Favorites this month!
Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Color in Pomegranate Pie, $4.99 Walgreens
Talk about a gorgeous pink color- this matte liquid lip cream is such a bright, vibrant shade and has the most amazing staying power. Once applied to the lips, it only takes a few seconds for the product to dry on the lips into a beautiful matte format, yet it doesn’t dry your lips out like some matte liquid creams do. This product gets a definite thumbs up in my book!
Hard Candy Velvet Mousse Matte Lip Color in Sweet Pea, $6.00 Wal-mart
I was originally drawn to this product simply because the packaging is gorgeous! It comes in a cute floral tin, and when you open up the inside, it has a mirror and a velvet slot for the product itself. I can see this being really handy for traveling and carrying in your purse. Also, the shade is such a pretty pink color for Spring. I’m thinking this would make a great gift for a makeup lover! š
Kenra Platinum Advance-Dry Thermal Protectant Blow-Dry Spray , $22.00 Ulta
When my hairstylist told me that this product would significantly speed up my hair’s drying time, I was really intrigued to try it out because with thick hair it takes me forever to dry my hair with a blow-dryer.
I’m happy to report that this product really does work and I can’t get enough of it! I spritz this on my freshly washed hair and not only does it speed up the drying time, but it serves as a great heat protectant, and smells amazing! It’s almost like a vanilla cupcake scent- which is heaven in my opinion. It is a little pricey, but it lasts forever and is a life-changer if you have thick hair.
Milk Shake Incredible Milk 12 Effects Leave In Treatment, $17.22 Amazon
Speaking of hair products that smell amazing, Milk Shake’s 12 Effects Leave in Treatment is the one hair product that I can’t live without. The name says it all- it smells like a milk shake, which is incredible, and one little pump in the hands goes a long way.
I spray this in my hair after washing it, and run it through my hair starting at the tips and working my way up to the roots. It does a great job of conditioning the hair and I even will use it sometimes to tame flyaways on my dry hair. Just an all-around amazing product worth adding to your collection.
Garnier Fructis Style Deconstructed Beach Chic Texturizing Spray with Black Fig, $2.96 Wal-mart
Last but not least is one of my favorite hair products to use when I want beachy waves in my hair. This texturizing spray works amazing at adding volume and texture to the hair and I love the way it makes my hair look all mermaid-esque when using it.
Also, the fact that it’s under 3 bucks is incredible. Be on the lookout for a full beach waves hair tutorial on the blog soon. š

Both of those lip products look amazing…not that I need any more lip things…but I feel like I need those in my life–at least the Jordana one hahaha. Great favorites girl, hope you enjoyed your weekend! XO -Kim
Thank-you! Haha we should just go shopping together, I’m sure we’d come home with tons of lippies we don’t need, but at least it’d be fun! š Hope your having a great week as well!
Girlfriend. That lippy from Jordana looks AMAZEBALLS. Like, I need-it-right-this-very-second amazeballs. It’s so pigmented!!!
Coming Up Roses
It is such a pretty shade! It’d look great on you, girl! š
i love the hard candy one! it made my march beauty faves, but i have it in cherry blossom. i’m loving the jordana lip creams too–hard to find though!ni got mine at kmart.
Oh I haven’t saw the cherry blossom color, I bet it’s pretty!
Wow that first pink lip color is super bold and fun!! Not sure if I could pull that off but it looks so pretty!

It is a really bold shade but so pretty! š
That pink! I am so into the highly pigmented pinks right now. Pretty!
Both lip colors are gorgeous! Love pink shades. Also, I want to try the Milk Shake incredible milk leave in conditioner, sounds like a great product to have. Thanks Cara!
It smells so good! I think you’ll like it! š
That pomegranate lip colour is so fab! Love it.
It is definitely gorgeous, Bella! š
I have the beach chic spray.
I actually love the Garnier Surf Hair pomade/cream, but when I can’t find it, I end up buying the spray and it’s my back up. I almost NEVER dry my hair during the summer.
I think I remember seeing that product in a store a long time ago, but haven’t noticed it recently. I’ve been impressed so far with all the Garnier products that I’ve tried.
I really need to try more from Hard Candy, I love the baked bronzer in shade Tiki but never tried anything else from the brand. Love that Jordana shade too, it’s bright hot pink, absolutely perfect for Spring/Summer!

They have some really gorgeous baked blushes and I love their lip colors! š
I’m beginning to think that you have a signature lip color…. andddddd I’m kind of in love with it!!! š
Haha I promise I don’t intentionally buy the same shades…but somehow it ends up that way! LOL Thanks! š
I’m going to have to try that Kenra blow dry spray. I use their dry shampoo and it’s my favorite!
It works great! It also helps with reducing frizz due to humidity, so I really like it!
Oh! Love your picks – I haven’t even seen all of these
Thanks! These are some of my favorite hair products and lip colors at the moment š
Fun picks! I haven’t tried any of these but it might be time to break out of my routine and try some new things š
I always like to explore what else is out there because ya never know what you might stumble across! š
I use the Kenra all the time, but Ive never noticed it speeding up my drying time. Maybe I just use it so much I’m used to it!? haha I just used it because my hair dresser told me it would help to protect my hair! haha
Haha that’s too funny. It speeds mine up a lot, plus it does a great job of protecting it!
Can’t wait to try that blow dry spray!!!
Hope you like it Casey! š
I’ll need to check out that texturizing spray! I hardly ever dry my hair anymore because it’s so thick and especially in the summer there’s no point with the humidity.. so beach waves it is
You seriously have the perfect hair length to use the beach chic spray too! I bet you’d really like it, and if your hair has any sort of natural wave to it, it would be great!
The color of the velvet mousse is GORGEOUS!
Happy weekend!
I thought so too, Steph! Hope you have a nice weekend!
I really want to try Beach Chic. Soooo much cheaper than the brand I’m using now so hopefully I like it!
It does a great job of adding texture! I’m really loving it! š
That first bold lip gloss is so pretty, bright colours look so amazing on you!! I want to try that leave-in treatment sounds great. Enjoy your weekend:)

Aw thank-you! Hope you have a great weekend as well š
I love both of those shades of lip gloss, and the one that comes in the little tin is such a perfect gift! I’ll have to ask my stylist if that Kenra product would be good for my hair. I have naturally curly hair that I blow out 80% of the time, so I wonder if it would help my drying time too! And cupcake scented? You know I’m in!
I’d definitely ask your stylist, because I’ve been super impressed with it. My hair takes forever to dry normally,and it has significantly reduced the drying time, plus the cupcake smell thing lured me in š
Ohh both of those lip colors look so pretty- I love the more neutral color and the formula sounds amazing as well.
It’s a really pretty shade, and I thought the floral tin was so cute!
both of those lip colors look so pretty & the formula sounds really great which is always a plus!
They’re such pretty shades, Carly! š
That milkshake leave in treatment sounds amazing, and LOVING that lip color! You always rock the best shades <3

I want to try the beach spray. I love how their products smell. Great roundup!
I do too, they always have a nice fruity smell to them! š
That is some bright lip gloss! Perfect for spring.
It is, Brittany! Such a pretty shade š
Woah, that Jordana lip color looks so fabulous and pigmented!!! Great picks – I want to check these out : )
I thought it was gorgeous too, Lindsay! š
lovely picks – love that tin! how cute š
Thank-you! I thought it was so adorable!
They just discontinued the beach spray I was using and I was on the hunt for a new one!!! Now I know what to try!!! thank you for sharing!!!
It seriously does an awesome job and for the price you can’t beat it! š
The packaging of that Hard Candy gloss is so pretty! And I need to check out that texturizing spray! I always love when you do these posts! š
Thanks! I thought it would make a perfect small gift for someone š
I’ve been using the Kenra spray for a few months now, and I really like it too! Thanks for sharing these. Happy friday.

Thank-you! I was able to get a lot accomplished after work today, so I’m hoping to enjoy the rest of the weekend with the family. Have a great one! š
Wow, that first lip color is AMAZING! I’m going to be on the lookout for that one. It looks like the perfect bright bold shade for summer!
Isn’t it pretty?! Both Walgreens and K-mart carries them! š
That pink is fabulous!
I agree, Linda! š
Yep… that song is now in my head. Thanks š
That PINK – WOW – talk about a POP of color! Thats so your signature color
Haha, you’re welcome š and thank-you! I love pink shades and that one is definitely a gorgeous shade!
I’ve never tried a milk in my hair, it doesn’t weight it down?
No, I think it does a great job of protecting the hair from heat and humidity, and a little goes a long way. I usually just do one or two small sprays in my palm and it does an amazing job!
what a fantastic colour! i have some lippies that i love but hardly get a chance to wear.
I thought it was really pretty too! š
umm ill take one in every color please š so fun girl!
Yes, of course! š
Love that matte lip shade! Such a pretty color!!
I thought so too, Jenn! š
I am totally intrigued about that milk shake hair product! I want to try!!
Evelina @ Fortunate House
I mean, any product that smells like a milk shake gets a thumbs up in my book-haha Plus it really does work amazing as a leave-in conditioner! š
Beach chic and blow dry spray it is, here I come to get these products. So fun Cara, I hope your weekend is as lovely as you are too!!
Thanks Andrea! Have a great weekend š
I love that tin and the lip color is adorable and for the price! Super cute!!!
I thought it was so cute! Would make a great gift š
