Aussie Split End Protector REVIEW


Obviously no product is meant to like cure all problems you have with anything, unless its medicine and then it doesn't really advertise its self to "fix" anything, otherwise that would be crappy advertisement. Aussie doesn't have crappy advertisement, but my review on this product sadly is poor.

I put it on, and I will be putting on all TWO bottle me and my sister bought till I can't get no more out, just because I don't like to throw away something I bought, but I do not advise anyone to buy this thinking that it will in any way help protecting there hair against split ends.

I do not use any kind of heat on my hair, but since my hair is extremely curly its texture is brittle and dry, but this product just seems to be a consistency of a leave in conditioner that seems watered down into a lotion, there could be lotion in the bottle for all I know because it does nothing compared to my all nature method of protecting split ends.

If you are to buy this product I think the people at Aussie expected it to be used on naturally silky or soft and smooth to start off with. Like for me when i get my hair cut its still very coarse so its not ideal  for such products.  

LOL vs. AWW...

Ammanista Fashionista 2# !


Style Profile 002
M, my second Amman homed fashionista is a beautiful young lady with her own unique style, a model as you will come to realize from how the camera knows exactly how to capture the perfect angles from her.




These photo's are part of her modelling portfolio, and in it you can see that even in the "work place" her style is on the unique side, played well. In the second picture the mixture of leather and structure is finely paired today.

Her regular day-to-day style is no less fab, shes surrounded by such high fashion mixes in her work place, that her casual style is what you see her rocking from day to day most of the time.



Light and casual is what you see here, and as one of my earlier posts stated, she has no recently started to rock the colored hair trend, with this bright brick red color that is completely royal against her skin tones.





Make up styles all the way! she knows what she's doing how to do it!

Want to watch sth to die for about makeup? HILARIOUS!
Not available to be watched in Jordan for some random ass reason, but oh well, but I watched while in the states, watch this sexy vs. skanky video

Ammanista Fashionista!

Style Profile 001

S and her amazing style, mixing higher end fashion with more wearable fashion pieces. She knows her style well, and is not afraid to take a walk on the more untouched side of fashion, experimenting with texture, prints and color!


Here she pairs a zebra patterned blouse with studded ankle booties that we love! To keep the outfit un-over whelmed she paired it with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. This is a look wearable for fall and can even be pushed into winter if pair with a biker leather jacket for an extra layer of warmth.


Know, what has my blog taught you so far dolls?? ORANGE ORANGE ORANGE! Its turning out to be the color of the year, and the pairing here screams I KNOW MY FASHION. Its so brilliant!


Retro!!  Why not?

Retro has been making its come back for a while now, and the high-waisted cut of these dark wash jeans really fit her silhoute perfectly. As I said in the intro she knows her style well. The pairing of nude pumps is perfect in order not to take away from the star of the outfit as well as her beautiful smile.


More orange here ladies, I tell you she knows what she is doing, plus the hints of cheetah she is not afraid to mix her prints and experiment.


Over all S has proved to be very fashion forward and deserves a beauty post star on our Ammanista Fashionista Column! 

These are all looks that can inspire anyone to wants to dress more fashion forward, and be experimental with your looks! Try new things that's what S has taught us!

Predicting Fall Trends! Nudes? Pastels?


This is my crystal ball... What does it have to say about Fall Fashion??!! 


Since the spring and summer were sooo filled with color its hard for me to see that the fall will just completely shift to browns and burnt oranges like usual fall colors, I predict that the pastels will be taken into the fall not all of them but I think the purple jewel tones and pops of pastel colors in the mix.

This top is from H&M

This pair of pastel pants is also from H&M


Second Crystal Ball Prediction


My crystal ball says  that I could be wrong, so I thought its either jewel tones with purples and what not. If not, I think its going to go back to neutrals like nudes, beige's, blush tones, mixed in with camel colors and swift browns to offset the whole scheme of colors that has come out for summer and spring.



 

I do also strongly feel though that either way the trend goes that ORANGE the color trend of the year, is going to extend itself into the fall fashion trends, I don't know if it will carry itself into winter, but I feel that it will make its appearance into the fall fashion runways this up and coming season. I hope that my predictions follow through because the amount of money I have seen these fashionaista's put into purchasing and investing in key pastel, neon and orange hue articles of clothing and accessories, it would be nice to be able to transition them into the fall. 


Then again I always think that the mix of your clothing and their transition from season to season, depends on how you can properly mix and match the new trends with the old and properly layer them into your outfit to fit the cold seasons. I do envy those who live in places like California because they have it where they can stretch their fashion longer because of the climate over there. Yet, I do love the coats and boot fashion in the cold, which I heard in California it does not get cold enough to use coats.

All in all, learn how ti transition your pieces on your own terms and don't always sweat the trends, try and mix and match what you have, and if you hate the new trend, screw it, don't even have to mix it into your wardrobe do what makes you feel best about you.

Neutrogena MicroClear Makeup Review


    Acne is a problem many teens girls and boys suffer from all over the world, it is a problem that some times has no cure. It could of course have a legitimate medical cure out there some where in the land of a way but from some, and should I say "most" teens, it is something that they can not afford to shell out for skin care products.

   I do of course tell those with great skin to not take it for granted and advise them highly to use cleanser and use moisturizer.

Quote of the day:

If you want to age like fine wine, put on moisturizer daily without a whine. 



Please try your best to do it daily, me being someone that has been struggling with active acne, can not find it in myself to remember to follow the one hundred step process put into my before bed skin care routine, and so naturally some one with fantastic looking skin will probably be lazier off than I am. Yet please look at the above quote and go look a wrinkled dried prune or something for inspiration if you are someone that has to be told the nasty to do the good, that prevents the nasty. I feel like my last sentence was a long ramble that made no sense which it probably was. Forgive me for it is late.

Well since I have tried out this product very recently I thought that I would do a review on it to share with you all:-


Neutrogena Skin Clearing Micro Clear Make up

Reveiw

There line to the extent of my knowledge consists of foundation, concealer and pressed mineral powder.

I have tried the foundation and LOVE the hell out of it and I will list the reasons why I am in love with it below:- (yes I am being all fancy and what not with a bulleted list wooo)

1. It has a perfect finish.


It is not oily and it is ALSO not too matte and know I know usually people with acne have oily skin, and when you have oily skin, you usually want a matte finish YET, I have found that matte finishes usually are the things that contribute to a cake-y looking face. You might think that you are having problems with your foundation because you keep putting on layers, and you might, but you also might not, because it could be the fact that the matte finish to it, when you wear it out through the day it starts either

a) oil up as your skin

b) dries out matches of your skin

either way causing your skin to look like this:-



DAN DAN DA DAAAA!!! (that was supposed to be creepy horror movie sound effect sorry if it did not float your boat) 

Yeah I know you kinda have to look close at this pic to see whats really wrong, and it was the best I could find. Hey! No one likes to photograph them selves with patchy flaky cakey makeup okay!!

2. It blends in very well


Cheap blending option:-

I use it with a ELF powder face brush that I got from target! (amazing brush btw) and it blends it in perfectly 

Pricey Blending Option:-

Real techniques stippling brush I bought at Ulta

3. High coverage

Remember foundation is not meant to replace your concealer, it is not meant to cover up all your imperfections but to even skin tones and cancel out some discolorations in skin. 

But having acne a fuller coverage is usually wanted because that way you can spend less amount of concealer on your face lessening the cake-yness of your makeup over all. 

4. FIGHTS AGAINST ACNE


Now many critics have fought on the fact that the amount of Salicylic Acid is to little to make a dent in any ones acne, well this is what I have to say to that:- YOUR WRONG. Because it really has helped mine, I am not fully cured due to foundation, but that is not what it is meant to do, it is meant to be another preventative measure against newer acne you might get. 

Andd... It totally works, I work hard on keeping my face clean and as acne free as I can get it, but during the day I have to leave the house in makeup and knowing that the makeup I have on at least won't be making it worse, keeps me at piece of mind, which maybe part of why it works! Who knows? Overall, I love it and give it a 

9 stars out of 10 !
