Beauty Review: Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Mousse
As much as I complain about my hair (seriously, how many of you have heard me gripe?) there are some good things about it. I’m a lucky one that can wear my stick straight thanks to a great straightener and some fab products, and I can also do the scrunchy/curly look if I skip conditioner. It’s nice to have these choices, and I get a lot of compliments either way, so I like to switch it up. In order to do the scrunch look, I do skip the conditioner like a mentioned, and then I just use a mousse to hold the curls. I have used a Tresemme mousse in the past, and was pretty happy with that. I went through a phase of buying a lot of Herbal Essences products, and also picked up their Body Envy Volumizing Mousse. I’m pretty darn happy with it, and would recommend this product. It doesn’t make my hair feel really heavy like some can do, and it’s not too sticky either. It holds my curls well and even has a nice smell to it. This is something I would buy again!

Beauty Review:Biore Clay Mask
I have been searching for a good mask to use in my beauty regime, as my Mary Kay was all gone and didn’t prefer to re-order it. Of course, I first turned to my trusty Biore pals, since I own almost all their products anyways. While browsing Biore products on Amazon, I found the Biore Clay Mask. It is for shine control, which I do have problems with, and is described as an “oil-absorbing clay mask with skin-refreshing extracts” that “absorbs dirt, oil and shine.” It also promises to leave “skin tingly-cool and naturally matte.”
This four ounce bottle only cost $2.99, which I couldn’t believe, and I quickly snatched it up- or placed it in my virtual shopping cart. I have used the mask twice so far, and have had great results. The green mask is easy to apply to the face, and I leave it on for about eight minutes while it hardens. It was easier than other masks that I have tried to take off, instead of rubbing vigorously at my skin, I simply dampened a washcloth and wiped off smoothly. That was probably my favorite part. My skin did feel tingly cool afterwards, and have noticed a definite cut down on the shine- which is great because I am not using my oil blotting sheets as much! One off thing though that I will point out- this item is not on Biore’s website. I have no idea why, because you can buy it on Amazon or other sites such as Overstock.com, but I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t on Biore.com. But I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for a good mask and need help with shine.
