Face Brushes....Do They Really Work?

Some of you may be wondering why on earth I would need a brush for my face?!  Before you jump to the conclusion that I have let my facial hair get WAY out of control, let me explain...

For quite some time, I've been contemplating the purchase of a Clarisonic Brush.  These highly acclaimed brushes are battery operated and receive rave reviews about their cleansing and exfoliating abilities.  While I'm sure they are really wonderful, I just was having a hard time with their $99-$199 price tag! 

Recently, I saw a YouTube video from GlowOfGrace and she was talking about a face brush she found online for under $10 and said the results were comparable to her Clarisonic.  That got my attention!  I started researching face brushes and lo and behold, I found one at Sephora for $7....now we're talkin'!
When I first felt this brush, it was so soft, I really didn't think it would do anything for my skin.  But I thought it was worth a try.  I followed the directions, lathering my face with soap, wetting the brush and then massaged away.  Honestly, I didn't think anything was happening other than my face was getting a nice massage.  But then I rinsed off the soap, and holy cow!  I couldn't believe how soft my skin felt!  Over the last month, I've been using it about every other day and have noticed a remarked difference in the texture of my skin.  My pores are clearer and it's helped reduce the flaky dry skin I tend to get in certain areas on my face. 

I think this is the best $7 I've spent on a beauty tool in a very long time.

Happy Brushing! :-)

    Happy Brushing to you too! I have my $20 target battery operated one and I love it too. Might be nice to have the sephora one too!

Styling My Hair: Tips, Products and Video Tutorial

Image
Almost every time I'm out in public, someone comments or asks a question about my hair.  Many people think it looks hard to fix and are surprised when I tell them I style it myself!  I can't tell you how many times I've been in the aisle at the grocery store explaining how I fix it and what products I use.  Several people have suggested I do a hair tutorial so that is just what I've done!

Linked below is the video I posted on YouTube where I show you all the products and tools I use and exactly how I style my hair.   Since posting the video, I've had a few questions that I thought I'd answer here:

1. How often do you get your hair cut?
**Every 4-5 weeks
2. How often do you highlight your hair?
**Every 3 months (due to the way I style my hair, it disguises root growth very well)
3. How often do you wash your hair?
**Pretty much everyday.  It's so easy to fix that it's just easier for me to start from scratch rather than trying to fluff up my "bed head&…

Hair Diaries ~ My Hair Styles Through the Years

Image
My birthday is just around the corner and I can hardly believe that I'm really going to be that old!!  It seems like just yesterday I graduated from high school...but that was 20 years ago!  Yikes!

Not long ago, I was going through a bunch of pictures and I couldn't help but laugh at many of my hair styles and fashion choices throughout the years.  So, today I thought I would open myself up for public ridicule and share some of those pictures with you.  They say, "laughter is the best medicine", so consider this blog post your daily dose of medicine for the day :-)

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sharalee who loved wearing her hair in curls....
Even though she wanted her hair to grow really long (past her waist, if possible), she decided she wanted to have bangs like all her friends.  So her mom obliged and cut some bangs for her....
Curling irons and hot rollers used to take forever to heat so when she wanted super curly hair, she would sleep on those li…

Browse My Stash - NYX Lip Liners Review and Swatches

Image
Since I have become somewhat of a "collector" of makeup, I've been trying to figure out a way to have my collection benefit more people than just me :-)  So I came up with the idea of doing a series called "Browse My Stash".  I will focus each blog on a specific brand and/or product from that brand, share my thoughts on the product and then finish with swatches of all the colors that I own.  So whether you are shopping online or in a store that won't let you "try before you buy", perhaps this information will help make your decision easier.


Today, you'll be browsing my stash of NYX Lip Liners
There are two different types of lip liners that NYX sells: Retractable Lip Liners (pictured above on the left) *No sharpening needed *Advertised as "waterproof" and I'd say that's pretty accurate.  Once they set, it takes a lot of scrubbing to get them off. *Retail Price - $4.50 *Available in 19 colors *Favorite and Most Worn Color:  Natural (se…
