Hair Styling Products: Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Finishing Paste Review

Image
I want to first say, that I am reviewing this product on the aftermath of how it worked on my hair and what I use it for. I do want to point out that this product supposed to be used differently than how I used it. It is made for those that have shorter hair (pixie cut short), and my hair is...well long, super long. I also have been a Garnier Fructis user for years. My favorite products of theirs are the Sleek and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner , I believe I have used up at least 4-5 bottles each! Rate: 2.0 out of 5.0 Price: $3.00-$5.00 for 2.0 oz, in other sites, they can cost up to $9.00, it is better to buy in-stores. Where: Walgreens (great deal if on sale!), CVS, Target (cheapest), Amazon.com Featured in Allure in 2011!!!! What the Company Says: (Found on Garnier Fructis Website ) 24-hour clean definition. Zero stickiness. With 99% naturally-derived formula, you get more performance - up to 24 hours - and less stuff your hair can live without. That means no silicones,...

Crafting: Miracles of Mod Podge! Gloss-Lustre

Image
Mod Podge is a multifunctional product. It is a water-base sealer, adds gloss or leave a matte finish, it can be used as a glue or a finish. I just don't know how I survived all these years without this product. I guess this is the perks on re-touching on my creative side, it is allowing me to work with mediums and products that I have never thought about using before.  After using this product for the first time on my Origami Butterfly Fan Scroll , I immediately realized that this is a key item to have in your arts and crafts box. Mod Podge Gloss-Lustre Material used for: Paper Crafts Texture: Glossy and Permanent Color: White but dries clear Type: Finisher  This can be found in all crafts stores. I bought mine at Micheals, 8.0z for around $8-$10.  I found the best way to use it is with a sponge brush. The sponge holds enough of the podge to spread nicely and evenly onto my little creation, creating a nice sheen after it dried. I am really lookin...
