V05 Conditioner& Shampoo Review

Bwahahahahahhahahha!!! Time for another review! I’m writing as I go, which is probably not a good idea, ‘cuz I’ll be wet pretty soon…lol.

Anysnooch, I’m reviewing two v05 products, the herbal escapes kiwi  lime squeeze clarifying shampoo, and herbal escapes free me feezia moisturizing conditioner, after the use of which, I’ll be continuing with my hair regimen. Just a note that I have used vo5 products before, but I normally use the strawberries and cream one. I just can’t seem to find it anymore. It was my FAVORIIIIIITEEEE!!!!!!! Oh well, I decided to give these a try instead. (I know, I didn’t get the matches, but whatever.)

The kiwi one looks really green, pretty unnatural, but I like it. The smel is nothing spectacular. I don’t really think of kiwis when I smell it. It’s not striking me as particularly lime-y either, but oh well. It feels cool, like a gel, but better. I haven’t put it in my hair yet.

Here are the ingredients for the kiwi shampoo: 

Water (Aqua), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Ammonium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, DMDM Hydantoin, Polyquarternium-7, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Disodium EDTA, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Butylphenyl Methylpropional Linalool, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Benzyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Yellow 10 (CL 47005), Blue 1 (CL 42090), Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Panthenol, Cymbopogon, Schoenanthus Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Peel Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi), Fruit Extract, Niacinamide, Biotin. (from CVS website)

The freesia one smells absolutely deeeelicious!!! I love what they’ve done with this. It has a very slight purple tint, which I think is cute. It feels like a lotion, which I really like about it. So, now I’m going to put them in my hair and see the results.

Ingredients for the Freezia conditioner: Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Stearalkonium Chloride, Stearyl Alcohol, Steareth- 21, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Glycerin, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Extract, Freesia Refracta Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Tocopheryl Acetate, Biotin, Niacinamide, Polysorbate 20, Ascorbic Acid, Panthenol, Propylene Glycol, Benzophenone 4, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance (Parfum), Ext. Violet (CI 60730). (also from CVS website) 

Both are about 15 oz. 

Oh, but before I do that, I’ve never used a clarifying shampoo before (I know, bad bad me. I just didn’t know any better – we all start somewhere, and I usually just cowash, anywayz. - ) So, here we go, for reallyz do. (I’m definitely not hood enough for hat…I apologize…but I’m probably going to keep doing it anyway.)

Well, that was refreshing. I just got done with the clarifying shampoo, and my hair feels…clean? I guess.. not sure how different it’s supposed to feel from a normal shampooing. Well, I don’t hate the results, so…that’s good. On to the conditioner.

Well, I gave myself a small scare, I thought it was burning my scalp, but I just scratched too hard sometime during the day. Ooh, my hair feels soft! So, no ill-effects from the products. 

Well, on to my usual hair-washy-regimen.

I’ve put my coconut oil in as a hot oil treatment, and since I’ve re-heated it with the blow dryer, I’ve wrapped a scarf around it, so now all I have to do is wait until I feel like it’s time to wash this stuff off. Usually, I’ll use my garnier strengthening conditioner, but I use that one so often that I should probably take a break and stick with this vo5 one. I’ve got scott pilgrim on, so I may wash it out after the next couple of fights. I love the kitty fight, “back off hasbian!” hah!

Oh, and after that, I know I shouldn’t use two kinds of heat, ‘cuz that’s a big hair no-no, but I do. Except today. I blow dryed, and then did braids. I hope it turns out ok tomorrow, but with the way I sleep…probably not. Lol.

My hair lasted all night in the braids (I cheated and used barrettes though, so idk if it really counts...) but I didn't like how a braid-out looked on me, so I ended up straightening my hair and putting it in pigtails. I didn't use much heat, and since my hair was essentially in four sections, I just went over each section twice. I'm not sure I'd even really count that. I probably should, but won't. 

I use a purple Remington flat iron from target that's apparently been switched out for a digital model (basically the same thing but with a digital temp counter instead of the clock one. I got mine on sale for 12 bucks, the one they're selling now is like, 19. Not much of a difference, and I'm sure it'll do the same thing, if you really want it to. 

kk, that's all for my review, I'm going to review something tasty tomorrow! hehe! 

Uuuwaaaaa!!!!! Versatile Blogger Awards ^____^

Hi, everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that I just got nominated for the Versatile Blogger award. I read about Momo getting it just hours ago, and I didn't know awards existed for blogs prior, but I got nominated by Jaz. Thanks for nominating me, really! ^__^ It made my day. 

so, now, I get to tell you all 7 things about myself. 
7) I am literally addicted to kimchi. I don't know why, but I will put that Sh** on EVERYTHING...well...everything I think it'd taste good on, lol. 
6) I'm actually pretty shy in real life, but people confuse me for being perma-angry. 
5) Kpop got me into being more feminine, and in turn, I found Ulzzang through them, which is a thing I like a lot. hehe. 
4) I love cute things so much, but few people know that about me. (I just bought a HONKIN' Hello Kitty mug the other day and can't wait to use it. ^____^
3) I'm a big 'ol goofball, especially when I'm bored. (can't help it, I just never grew up, lol!) 
2) I'm only somewhat of a techie, and while I'm apprenticing at this bike shop, I keep getting flashbacks of when I used to fix computers when I was a kid. (Nerdy childhood, first watching star trek at night, next fixing computers, lol) 
1) I drink ALL OF THE TEA, except jasmine...terrible experiences with that stuff.

Sorry sorry sorry sorry

Naega naega naega naega monjeo ...oh, we're not doing suju's dance? poop.

Anyway, cereal apologies for not having posted for a bit, I know I'm supposed to be doing this 31 days of posting thing, but I've been terribly stressed out for the last few days, and I still kind of am. Also, despite having bought a couple of things, they are a conditioner and shampoo, so I can't review them now, since I've not tried them. (I only bought them yesterday.)

However, tonight is hair night, and I'll let you know what happens, one is a clarifying shampoo, and the other I believe is a moisture conditioner. 

Sorry!

Sorry. I forgot to review something yesterday because I was so busy, but I don't have any products today, either. Just homemade soup by aiden. We had a funny stovetop experience, but nothing notable since I've only been home for two hours! I promise to try my cherry fundip tomorrow, but i probably can't get pics up til Tuesday... I'll try tho. Now, it's time for v for vendetta. :D:D:D:D
 

Frankenberry Mocha Time!

Hi, everyone! As promised, here is my frankenberry post. I love the appearance of it, and no, I did not put it in a mocha. Aiden made coffee today, and I put some hot chocolate in while I ate my cereal and watched Fringe. I may also include an Agent Farnsworth makeup picture tutorial today, since I brought my makeup, but that will have to wait until afer I get my test done. I just can't concentrate if I have so many things bursting through my head, so I'm going to get all of these out, take my test, and then perhaps, if there's time, do the makeup tutorial. It's another thing I like to do - celebrities usually have nice makeup, and the ones that catch my eye, I want to do, myself. I'l surprise you with which ones, though.

Anyway, on to the Berries!

Really cute packaging, all pink!...mostly, anyway.

You can see a castle, frankenberry (whose nails are painted with strawberries), and some pink lightning.

Sorry you'll have to tilt your head, but here are pictures of the halloween cereals in order: frankenberry, my fave, count chocula, and boo berry, which I hope to try this year, even though I don't like blueberry anything, lol. 

Here's a cute comic, it's also on the count chocula box, so I think they probably use it on all of them. 

Here's what they look like (Yes, I like my cereal in a cup! - we have several bowls, for realz, though...)

You can see a blue marshmallow in there, right? Cool, 'eh? I don't know why it's there, but they have blue mallows in here, where in the count chocula they have swirly ones. (the count ones are vanilla/chocolate flavored, these are strawberry, but maybe they mixed some booberry mallows in there, who knows. 

And here's a closeup. 

Anyway, I'll do the ingredients now, and tell you the taste after: 

Ingredients: 

Corn Whole Grain Includes (Corn Bran) , Corn Meal, Sugar, Marshmallow (Sugar, Dextrose,Corn Starch Modified, Corn Syrup, Gelatin, Malic Acid, Flavor(s) Natural & Artificial, Citric Acid, Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2) , Corn Starch Modified, Corn Syrup, Canola Oil and/or, Rice Bran Oil, Salt, Tricalcium Phosphate, Trisodium Phosphate, Red 40, Flavor(s) Natural & Artificial,Wheat Flour, Peanut(s) Flour, Vitamin E (Tocopherols Mixed (Vitamin E)) , BHT To Preserve Freshness, Vitamins And Minerals :, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc, Iron, Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) (Vitamin C) , Niacinamide (Vitamin aB), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (HCL) (Vitamin B6) ,Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) (Vitamin B2) , Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1) (Vitamin B1) , Vitamin A Palmitate, Folic Acid (Vitamin aB), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3

Kk, those are the ingredients, which I got from the food facts website. Thanks food facts!

The taste is very sweet, definitely strawberrylicious, but the appearance initially shocked me. (I opened it a few days before, just to look at it because I was curious.) As you can see, the ghosties are quite neon pink! (Probably why mother never bought me these - to the best of my recollection, anyway.) The smell is definitely strawberry! I liked them enough, but I'll be mixing them with my count chocula when I do have them, unless I find a suitable desert to make with them (like frankenberry treats (think rice crispies treats, but different)).

So, there you have it, if you are a strawberry lover, you will enjoy the cereal mess out of these, cereally. (c'mon, don't tell me you never saw that episode of South Park!) Click the link if you haven't! If you don't like strawberry flavored anything, you are a terrible person and don't deserve the sweet things in life. (I am KIDDING! as my favorite flavor of anything is Cherry, but I'll settle for strawberry if I have to.) 

Best Class Day, 31 Days Challenge

Hi, everyone. I took a couple days off because of studies and lack of internet, but I'm back with a new post - and a commitment.

Anyway, Temps have dropped, I've layered up and had some really nice chili that since it's not allowed in the library, I hope no one steals before I leave (It's happened to a friend, I'll talk about him later), or that I don't forget it (I've been known to...). Anysnooch, Class was really interesting today.

Usually, laptops aren't allowed in class, which has forced me to improve my famously terrible handwriting...my progress is debatable. Anyway, my teacher asked me if it was my laptop on the desk I normally sit at, and I told him that I'd be putting it away soon. He told me that he actually wanted me to use it today, so I was happy! We did a project on linkedin today, and I had to make one, but it was fine.

so, on to my commitment, as I mentioned in the title, I'm joining the 31 days challenge (late, so it'll continue into next month), and I'll be doing a product review every day, even if I have to do it from my phon (and on the weekends, I'll most likely have to do it from the phone, but that's okay.) Products I like to review: Anything caffeinated, cherry flavored, makeup. So I'll likely find something like that to review every day. Cafeinated things aren't terribly hard to come by, but the things I like are caffeinated lollipops, soaps/shower gels, lip balms, like, things that should not be caffeinated. I like the novelty factor of that. By the same token, I could like to review bacon flavored things, but I'm more interested in things that are caffeinated (no, I'm not a junkie...I think...jk. I'm not, it's just fun.)

So, first thing I'm going to review is something that I never got to have as a child.  I bought the vapire's blood, and because I couldn't see the flavor at first, I was worried that it would be strawberry. Luckily, it was cherry, so i was extatic.

It tastes exactly as I imagined it would (once I found out that it was cherry flavored), thick, gooey, and cherryrific. <3 It even smells cherry tastic, but it smells like plastic, too, well, that's the packaging, of course, but it smells like there would be a bad aftertaste, which there is not.

What's inside: 130 calories, no fat (including saturated), 32 grams of sugar, and no sodium. It's a 3 serving pack based on a 2,000 calorie diet, apparently you can learn mere at www.wrigley.com. It feels pretty hefty, which I think is great!

I think the packaging is cute, especially since it's halloween themed.

Having mentioned packaging, I almost forgot the ingredients:
corn syrup, citric acid, waer, sodium benzoate (preservative), potassium sorbate (preservative, color (red 40), natural and artificial flavors)

Tomorrow, I'll be reviewing the franken berry cereal, most likely, since I've tried it. Won't even lie, the appearance shocked me a little. Although Count Chocula is my favorite cereal, I likely won't be reviewing that.

Well, that's all for now, more later I assure you. ^___^

Have fun, stay warm, and maybe eat some chili. ^____^

Most Awesome Monday EVAAARRRR!!!!!

I don't know about you lot, but I had the most awesome monday ever with Aidan. ^___^. After I finished my accoutning homework, of course, lol. But I did try a new drink while I was doing my work at starbucks, it was the tazo passion lemonade thing, it was pretty tasty.

So, anyway, on to the fun stuff, we went to get me a new phone, it's a windows 7, very sleek, slim, I got a purple phone case, like, a silicone one. It's cute! I've been playing with this phone since the second I got it! weird thing, though, apparently, my contacts transfer time was the longest they've ever seen at the store. I was transferring from Android to Windows, of course so that was part of it, also, I think my phone probably shut down on them a few times (my old phone was notorious for doing that, as I think I mentioned once..or twice...)

But after we went and got my phone (Btw, I can't thank you enough, baby! <3) we went to white castle, because we'd both not been there in AGES. It was a really nice time, and we did some shopping afterwards. This is where I get like, "little kid" excited, all over again.

We went to target, and they were selling the halloween themed cereals, while I didn't see boxes of count chocula, it was okay, because I have one at home, already. I decided that since I've never tried franken and boo berry, I'd get franken berry first, and he got us some count chocula treats! I had one this morning for breakfast, and it was Super Delicious!  He got me some of the cutest Hello Kitty slippers I have EVER seen, and they are SO comfy! We also got some movies that we were both excited for. We'd both not seen Avengers yet, so we got that, 9, because I'd never seen it, and Rush Hour, because Awesome! We watched them with pizza and wings last night.

And I have an update from one of my reviews. If you remember the luster's Pink hairspray I reviewed, that I loved spraying directly to my scalp ever so much, you should know this now. I did that a few days a week maybe one or two weeks ago, and I got awful dandruff buildup. I remembered it happening before, but I didn't attribute it to the hair spray, I can confidently say that the spray is what caused it, because it's happened again. Proof? While I can't give you picture proof, I can tell you that since I've stopped spraying that candy scented stuff on my scalp, I haven't seen any of the 'ruff.

Oh, and I made a fun treat! You guys know/like s'mores, right? K, good. I made them in the oven this time, but I think these would be worthy of epic meal time status: They were double decker, with three kinds of chocolate. Healthy? Not in the least. Do we plan on eating it all in one sitting? Heck no! But maybe a small helping once in a while, because s'mores are the stuff.

Here's what they looked like - before we murdered them with a spatula

Well, I hope you all have a nice week ^___^
