Over the past couple of months, despite switching a couple of products here and there (excluding ones I had been testing for those 0.8L reviews), I think I've finally managed to narrow down a solid routine with products that actually show results.

I'd thought I'd now share my current routine which includes products that I like, and either have repurchased or plan to repurchase.  My routine is kind of short and should include a few more items, but generally I'm living in a constant state of tiredness, so this is enough for now.

Hello, all! I made an Amazon order of some more AB skincare and makeup products very recently (Aug 6th) and part of it arrived just this week, on Wednesday (Aug 17). I thought I'd share what I bought and kind of...why...?

Just this week, I went to a local salon and got my roots done and the lengthen of my hair lightened to more of a platinum blonde. The salon has an academy which you can get the students to perform the same services but at a reduced price but they get to learn and you are supporting students and a local business. I also got a trim on my bangs and ends of my hair!

My early-morning breakfast....:



Basically, I got my roots done first which took about 1.5hrs. The salon gal used Volume 5 on my roots and later, 10 on the length of my hair before toning.




 I also got a shampoo and treatment in there, plus toning!! I've never felt so relaxed....!!!!!!




The final look:



I got Starbucks afterwards and a cinnamon bun:

Hello, all!! I thought I'd write up a comparison review of two masks that share a common themed ingredient: pumpkin.  I'll be comparing the new Tony Moly I'm Real sheet mask, in Pumpkin (Anti-Aging), to Mediheal's Pumpkin Ade Sheet Mask, and to contrast their differences.









 

Hello, all! I'm back at it again with another roundup of my recently used sheet masks in past almost two months (at least since the last post.)

Let's look at my trash, under the cut!
