Curly Hair Routine by Tina

Just posted my Curly Hair Routine for Defined Curls. Please watch this video and LIKE/Comment if you have a google account. The products used in this video are listed below.

PRODUCTS USED
JIRANO Intensive Hair Repair Cream(4 oz) 
www.jirano.com
My fave. product in this video. Good for all hair types from natural, to relaxed, color treated hair, damaged, dry hair and so on. It has coconut oil in it and defined my curls so I love it ! The size of this bottle is not enough product for my hair since my hair is so thick so that would be my only issue but otherwise I love this product. I think they will be making larger sizes soon.

Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil (32 oz)
www.tropicaltraditions.com
I am a huge fan of coconut oil. I've been using this one for awhile now. This is my second bottle so you know I am in love ! If you can't find virgin coconut oil near you then consider getting this one online.

TRESEMME Flawless Curls Conditioner (32 oz)
I recommend this conditioner for curly hair, wavy hair, damaged hair, dry hair and if you want volume. This conditioner detangles hair and tames frizz for beautifully defined soft curls and waves.

Eco Styler Moroccan Argan Oil Gel (8 oz or 16 oz)
I love this gel ! I've bought it twice already and will be buying it again since my current one is close to finish. This is a MUST for all curly girls to get those curls defined and slick down your edges. This gel provides light to super hold depending on how much you use in your hair. A little goes a long way so the 8 ounce jar lasts me awhile. I would recommend anyone natural or relaxed to try this out, you won't be disappointed !

SHIELO Volumizing Shampoo (8 oz)
I haven't used shampoo in a long time but when I do this is my go to shampoo. Gives hair volume and greater strength + thickening. Contains protein + vitamin b12, paraben free formula, biotin enhanced, has Japanese herbals to nourish the scalp and hair follicles.

My FAVE. Hair Tools
Pink Wide Tooth Comb
Black Paddle Brush
Black Hair Brush

Those are the 3 hair tools I use most often for my hair whether I wear my hair naturally curly or I blow it out and curl it. I don't straighten my hair often because I'm not a fan of bone straight hair. I just wash my hair, (use heat protectant) and blow it out and curl with a curling wand. Then I finish off with a hold spray to keep it lasting over a week. This method makes my curls last longer than they would if I straighten my hair then curl it. A photo is featured in the video of my wand curls at 0:24. If you would like to see a TUTORIAL of how I wand curl my hair then let me know in the comments.

What type of hair video should I do NEXT ? 

Comment below and let me know.

Influenster Jolly VoxBox

This is my 3rd Voxbox that I have received from Influenster. This is the Jolly VoxBox. Two boxes in one month is awesome ! My previous box was the Violet Voxbox (I received earlier this month) and my first box was the Sweetheart Voxbox. In each box I always find something I like or love. Here is my review of the Jolly VoxBox.

Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong To Go Tissue Pak : $0.49
These tissues are good for on-the-go. I will be storing them in my purse to use when I am running errands, at work, at an event or just basically out and about.

NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Eye Shadow : $2.99
This is a high intensity color palette with a silky soft texture. This eyeshadow blends effortlessly for the ultimate smoky eye look. I will be using this trio eye shadow on New Years Eve.

Rimmel London NEW Show Off Lip Lacquer : $5.49 - $5.99
This is an intense rich colour of a lipstick combined with an invincibly smooth lacquer shine. This lipstick is available in 14 different shades to choose from. I really like this colour. I will be checking their other shades since I do like pink tones for my lips.

Skinny Cow Candy : $3.99/box $1.09/single bar or pouch
I received this in the flavour "Peanut Butter Creme". I did like it a lot and ended up eating and sharing it  with myself and friends who also enjoyed it. It states it has peanut butter but I didn't taste it much which I like because I'm not a fan of peanut butter. I would like to try the other flavour (Caramel) and maybe Milk Chocolate.

Ducklings Mini Rolls : $2 - $3
This Ducklings tape is excellent for repair, crafting, and imaginative projects/ideas. This tears easily by hand without curling and conforms to uneven surfaces. If you just need a little tape then this would be good for you. What I like about this tape is the design/colour. I have never seen such a pretty tape before, so this is something new for me. I will carry it in my purse just incase I ever need it but it's so pretty that I don't want to use it. I would like to collect more of these.

Did you receive this VoxBox ? What was your fave. item ? Let me know in the comments !

I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

Influenster Violet VoxBox

I received my Influenster Violet VoxBox earlier this month in December but I finally have time to blog about it. The packaging is so noticeable since it was the only purple packaging that showed up in my mail so I knew right away that it was from Influenster. I quickly opened the package and tried some of the items out. This is my second Voxbox so far. My first box was the Sweetheart VoxBox.
Here is my review of each item in the Violet VoxBox :

Goody Athletique Headbands : $16.00
This headband is for people who live an active lifestyle/workout but I use this headband so often for everything (I'm wearing it right now) I actually sleep in it, take showers with it and more. This headband is one of the best headbands I've ever had.

Sally Handsen New Triple Shine Nail Color : $4.99
This nail color is really pretty ! It says the nail polish will last throughout the day from water to workout, day in and day out, nothing will dull these nails. I didn't try it out yet but I will for New Years Eve so I will post an updated on that. This polish is available in 30 shades.

SOYJOY : $0.99
SOYJOY is an all-natural, gluten free snack bar made with non-GMO soybeans and real fruit pieces. It has between 130 to 140 calories. You can unwrap and microwave this snack bar for 8-10 seconds for a "fresh baked" experience with coffee or tea. This tastes really bad to me so I wouldn't want to eat this again but maybe if it was in a chocolate, vanilla or caramel flavor I would like it much better.

Goody QuikStyle : $12.99
This Goody QuikStyle is a super absorbent microfiber paddle brush that can remove water as you style. It's like a towel and a brush in one. I tried it on my freshly washed wet hair and I use it to help dry my hair quicker than usual. Best of all, I'm using no heat tools so if you're against or want to stop using too much heat on your hair then this can help. Air drying is better for your hair.

MY FAVE. PRODUCTS ?
Out of all these products I tried in the Violet VoxBox I think my fave. would be the Goody Athletique Headband and the Goody QuikStyle brush.

It came in this package which is so cute ! I love the heart on it which

symbolizes LOVE for the month of February (Valentine's Day).

This is the Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System

Price : $12.99  

This cleansing system includes the battery powered cleansing system and facial cleanser cream.

This is my fave. product from the Sweetheart Voxbox because it reminds 

me of my Clarisonic MIA except in a mini version of it. I can carry this around when 

traveling for work. It's a battery powered cleansing system for your face. There is a button on it to press to turn it on. It is more powerful than the Clarisonic Mia when I turned it on but it's much smaller which makes it even more portable.

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response

Price range : $7.99 - $9.99

This smells really good ! I can't wait to try it. I'm a deodorant freak !

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray

This is not the full size. The full size costs $6.00

It has a beachy smell to it which I love and seems to be a good hair product.

Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars

A box of these which contains 5 bars costs $9.99

The flavor is Greek Yogurt Blueberry so it's something new for me.

I'm more of a chocolate fan but I'll give it a try and let you know in my next video.

Clarisonic Mia Review

My favorite skin care product is the Clarisonic Mia. I have it in PINK ! I've loved it ever since I received it and I have been using it ever since I received it from SkinCareRX since the past year. The Clarisonic makes my skin feel care smooth, clear, removes dead skin and removes makeup. The package includes the cordless Clarisonic Mia, travel size cleanser(1 fl oz), sensitive brush head, charger and plug.

 Since I loved it so much I got two replacement brush heads from the company.

The two replacement brush heads are the Sensitives ones. I already had received a Sensitive brush head that comes originally with the Clarisonic Mia but I didn't realize it until it was too late. I wish I had chosen a different brush head instead. 

These are all the brush heads available :

Delicate Brush Head

Sensitive Brush Head

Spot Therapy Brush Head

Deep Pore Cleansing Brush Head

Normal Brush Head

Acne Cleansing Brush Head

I want to try out all of them especially the Spot Therapy Brush Head and the Deep Pore Cleansing Brush Head. I will get those two brush heads next time. I would recommend the Clarisonic Mia to anyone because I love it and use it in my everyday life. It will work wonders on your skin ! I found my skin improved so much after using it so I made this product apart of my skincare routine. I have featured it in my beauty favorites video on youtube.

Visit SkinCareRX.com for the Clarisonic Mia.

Tina Eats At A Japanese Restaurant

So I ate at this really nice Japanese restaurant in Midtown, Manhattan, New York City. The name of the restaurant is Yakiniki West which is located at 218 East 9th Street. The dish above was my favorite dish for the night ! The name of the dish is chicken tempura with veggies and lime on the side with sauce to dip the chicken in. I arrived into the restaurant with a sexy dress and heels on but had to remove my heels since in the Asian tradition you cannot wear shoes when entering a place (example : the house). I put my heels away in a shoe storage then headed on over to the table where I would eat at and sat on the floor/table, traditional style. I wanted to share all the amazing photos of the food so here they are.

Another dish, not for me.

Frying shrimp on the grill. I thought this was so amazing ! It tasted yummy !

This is raw eel. Now even though this was not my dish I tasted it anyway cause I was being nudged to taste it. It tasted good at first but the aftermath, meaning the after taste in my mouth wasn't so good. I'm not a fish/sea food type of person.

   A video frying the yummy shrimp.

 

Overall I enjoyed myself. I had a lovely night ! The food was great but this Japanese restaurant was missing one dish on there menu which I really wanted which was chicken teriyaki ! I liked the chicken tempura but wish I could of had chicken teriyaki as well. I tried new types of Japanese food so I didn't mind. Lots of beer but I kept it casual with my favorite drink Sprite of course ! Lol ! After that I did drink liquor which was Vodka.

Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me

Britney Spears new video for her new song " Hold It Against Me " made her $500,000 for product placement. She included product placements of these products : Sony, Makeup Forever cosmetics, Radiance perfume, PlentyofFish.com.
I'm loving that touchscreen Sony laptop in the video. After watching it makes me wanna get that Sony laptop.

Watch the video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Edv8Onsrgg

I think Britney looks really nice in the video, she looks thicker than before.

SCREEN CAPS from the video :

She looked best in this scene. I love how she styled her hair and did her makeup.


Britney fighting herself. This scene is kinda like WTF, what's going on ?


Love this gown. I would love to get married in a dress like this.


Overall this video was great but not really at the same time. I like the song though.
I expected to see more dancing, more pizzaz. Just more of something but it was okay at best. Her outfits were really creative and cute.

What do you think of the video/song ?

Shoe Dazzle | Just Fabulous

Shoe Dazzle and Just Fabulous are some really great sites, I love the shoes, handbags and accessories they have to offer. Basically what these sites do is become your stylist and pick out what they think suites you from your style test that you take on the site. The shoes are 39.99 a piece each month, free shipping. Kim Kardashian is the owner of Shoe Dazzle, I'm not sure who owns Just Fabulous, I recently found the site today and thought they had a pretty good selection of heels.

                                                  Kristin Cavallari

For me I wouldn't purchase from these sites. You can find these shoes at other stores for less !
Like Shop Fashion Clothing or Charlotte Russe and the list goes on.
But if you can afford it monthly and don't have time to go shoe shopping then it may be worth it, but keep in mind you can buy the same shoes elsewhere at a lower price.
