Shine and Glory

October 2nd, 2008 by sarah

Hair products are one of those things that I just cannot get enough of.  I have a shower stock full of every kind of possible shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment out there.  Everything from drugstore bargains to the best of the best.  I’m constantly looking for new products that will keep my hair healthy and beautiful.

One of my most recent hair purchases was made at Sephora on the day I went in to pick up my birthday body wash.  I was too shy to just walk up to the counter and demand my free shower gel and walk out, so I decided to make a small purchase.  I wanted to keep it under $15 and I didn’t want to buy a product that I already had two of.  Carol’s Daughter was a new in-store item that I had heard so many good things about but I hadn’t used any of the products.  There were several products that were within my budget, but I opted for the Tui Hair Oil

The two main reasons that finalized my purchase was the promise of shiny hair (something I love) and the amazing scent of the oil; it smells like tropical bliss.  I also liked the fact that the oil was sort of a two-in-one product.  The oil can be used as a shine treatment or as a hot oil.  You also get a lot of bang for your buck because you don’t need a lot of product to get big results.

The first time I used it, I used it as a hot oil treatment.  I just let the heat of my shower heat up the oil and then I rubbed it into my dry hair.  I really massaged it into my scalp and then focused on the ends.  After about 5 minutes I added shampoo to rinse out the product and after I got ready I was left with really soft hair that shined and smelled amazing.  I also like to apply a touch of the oil to my ends right before I get out of the shower.  Not enough to make my hair oily, but just enough to keep my ends smooth and to protect my hair from styling.

I’m really excited to have it around during the colder months when my hair starts to feel the effects of the cold weather and wind.  I’m also excited to have it in my shower…the bottle is beautiful and has real flower petals in it, and did I mention it smells amazing?  See, beauty all around.

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
