Gotta Try It !

Last week I was excited to receive a package from Influenster. I received these hair care products complimentary for testing purposes from influenster and could not wait to give them a try.  I just decided to color my hair a lighter shade of blonde for the summer. Perfect timing! The big problem with going blonder is the color fades, goes brassy and doesn't last as long as darker shades.  The re-growth shows so quickly.  My natural color had darkened over the years and of course there is all that grey hair, I have to deal with now. -Yuck, I hate getting older.

So I colored my hair about two weeks ago and have been using Garnier Fructis Color Shield Complete Defense Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner.

The results......... My hair is soft, manageable, and the color does not seem to be washing out as fast.  I didn't see a whole lot of difference until I used the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Complete Defense Blonde Refresher.  Then I noticed something very nice.  My color seemed to truly be "refreshed" I had not noticed but my hair, I guess had gradually changed since originally coloring it.  Now, after using the Blonde Refresher it looked revitalized and so darn soft.  It was like using the special conditioner that comes with your hair color.  You know when your hair is freshly colored and you use the deep conditioner. Your hair feels amazing-"right?" The roots were still sneaking in (my hair grows very fast) but the rest of my hair looks more like the shade of blonde it was when I first colored it.  The brassiness was gone. It was bright and beautiful again.

I normally have to color my hair about every three weeks or so, especially when it is so light blonde.  But I think this round I will be able to stretch it out a bit. Since I can use the Garnier Fructis Blonde Refresher bi-weekly and I did not leave it in for the full length of time. (max 10 mins) I think I will use it again tomorrow and leave it in for the full 10 minutes. Maybe that way the roots that a just starting to show a little darker will brighten up too.  Fingers crossed.

All in all I am very happy with my Garnier Fructis ColorShield products. If you color your hair and are frustrated on how quickly your color turns brassy or fades then your might want to give these products a try.

Thank you to Influenster and GarnierCan for allowing me the opportunity to try these products. They have my ColorShield of approval.

I'm no nail artist but I do still try to do a design on my nails every once in awhile!

I recently had graduation and had fake nails on so haven't been putting much on my nails since those came off. Unfortunately most of the length on my nails broke off with the fake nails & i was left with short nails again. As a former nail bitter who just kicked the habit a few years back I'm still okay with short nails. While I'm waiting for my nails to grow again I haven't had many options for design for my nails. But yesterday I came across this cute little design & decided to give it a try, I can always clean it off if it's terrible.
