Beauty Review: Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray

Hey Gorgeous!

Hope you're having a great weekend! I wanted to drop in and give a quick review on the Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray and let me tell you, I am in love! 

I'm a curly girl by nature but I love being able to straighten my hair when the mood strikes.

Oscar Blandi Heat Protect Spray - Beauty Review

My hair is really thick, quite long and super dry and therefore, really susceptible to breakage so I have to be extremely careful when using heat to straighten it. I've found a number of good heat protectors and most of them need to be applied to wet/damp hair. I was looking for something that could be applied to dry hair and the Oscar Blandi is just what I needed. It's lightweight, smells great and leaves my hair with an excellent shine. It's keratin infused and paraben free and I noticed a bit more control of stray strands which is a lovely bonus.

So thumbs up for the Oscar Blandi Heat Protect Spray! What's your favorite heat protector? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading!

Flowers for Patranila

I love Sunday! Sunday morning in particular. No matter what the week before has held, Sunday morning washes it all clean with peace and tranquility. Can't get enough of Sunday morning!

And, I secretly expect my Prince Charming to show up at my door because he's lost and is the only man on Earth to ask for directions.

Also, I am really obsessive and tend to do things I love over and over until the pleasure wears off. Then I never revisit them again.

And finally, I believe that once you're on my list, you never get off. Heads up to you nitwits who try to re-Friend me on Facebook. Go away!

Here's to Sunday smiles! Have a great week!

Product Review: Revlon Nearly Naked




I've been trying lots of beauty products lately (and I promise to have more reviews on the blog soon) but I wanted to drop a quick post about the new Revlon Nearly Naked foundation that I received as a Klout perk. 

First off, this product truly lives up to its name. It is perhaps the most light-weight foundation I've ever used. It disappeared on my skin while offering surprisingly good coverage. I don't usually wear a full face of foundation unless I know I'm being photographed. I just cover my trouble spots and blend really well. The Nearly Naked covered my trouble spots and required a lot less blending for a very natural finish.

There are 16 shades in all with broad spectrum SPF 20. My shade is Toast and the match is perfect! So if you're looking for a good lightweight makeup, I'd definitely recommend it. 



What foundation are you using these days? Do you love it or are you searching for something new?
