Smokey Cat Eye Look
Hi everyone! Sorry again for the lack of posts. I was able to take a few photos of my makeup I had Saturday night so I thought I would post it. It's late/early Sunday right now and I have to be up early so I will probably update this again with what all the products I used. Or you can leave a comment and I'll get back to you. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Take care :)

My Glossy Box Package - April 2012
GLOSSY BOX is a monthly online subscription service that provides various samples of luxury products of various brands from hair care, skin care, and makeup. Glossy Box is only available in a few select countries and it was first introduced to the US not too long ago. I was very excited to see what kind of products they would provide in their first American Glossy Box. :)
Upon receiving my Glossy Box in the mail, I was really impressed by the packaging. It looked very high end, classy, and chic, which I am pretty sure is the kind of look they are going for. It was a very well put together package. :)
I love the fact that their packages consist of more high end luxury products. It gives us a better opportunity to try something, especially pricier items, rather than spending a lot of money on something to try for the first time. For this particular package I like that the products pertain to different parts of our body like nails, lips, eyes, and skin care.
Below is a list of all the products that I received.

This lotion was once only available in hotel rooms. Can you believe that?! It is a lightweight lotion that is non greasy, yet very moisturizing.

Hair Therapy Wrap Product Review
Hi everyone! Today I have a hair care product to review for you all. The Hair Therapy Wrap is great for people who are into using deep conditioners, hot oils, scalp treatments or if you are just looking for an innovative way to restore your hair. I also read that it can be used to activate hair dye! I have never thought of trying this for hair dyes but maybe someday!
I have never heard of this product before and I thought it was really interesting because it reminded me a lot of childhood. (I'm about to go off topic right now.. lol) I remember growing up as a kid I remember seeing my mom use hot oils in her hair. She would put a damp towel in the microwave and wrap her damp hair in it after applying her hot oils. She would then place a plastic bag over her head! So when I started to use this wrap I couldn't help but think of my mom and how much I think she would have loved this product if she knew about it back then. :)
Anyway, as I was saying.. I have been using the Hair Therapy Wrap for about 2 months now and I would use different hair care products from deep conditioners to hot oils. I don't use this wrap that often but I would say I've used this about four times since I've gotten it and I really enjoy using it! My favorite part is rinsing out my hair and being able to run my fingers through it because of how smooth it is! It's kind of rewarding. :)
The Hair Therapy Wrap is intended to be worn up to 20 minutes. I would take full advantage of those 20 minutes especially if you experience dry, brittle hair like I do.. or if you hair is really long line mine. The longer the better. :)
□ Perfect for all hair types
□ Stays warm for about 20 minutes
□ Reusable
□ Gel packs can be heated in the microwave or in boiling water (I prefer microwave!)
□ Affordable! I know to some it might seem more than what you would want to spend on a hair care product but you get so many uses out of it so I think it is well worth the investment.
CONS:
□ A little bit uncomfortable
□ Feels pretty snug especially if you have a lot of hair like I do.. or I must have a really big head :\
FINAL THOUGHTS:
□ I have noticed my hair looking and feeling a lot more silkier and a lot more shinier. Some might think that this is caused by using a deep conditioner. I do believe that the deep conditioner has been a contributing factor to the overall health of my hair. On the other hand, I did experience my hair feeling healthier for a longer period of time and for that reason I believe was because of the use of the Hair Therapy Wrap. I like the fact that this is meant for all hair types and textures so I think that everyone can take full advantage of this product because all hair can use a little bit love!
Available at Brushlove.com for $29.95
