Sebastian Shaper Hair Spray Review

I've heard SO many great things about this hairspray- from reviews like this (and no, the Cindy that asked the question was not me) and from Youtube videos such as juicystar07's Miley Cyrus- Inspired Curls.

I tested it out on Saturday and just curled my hair normally, and yes, I too have fallen in love with the Sebastian Shaper Hair Spray.


CONS:
  • The can is really big. It's a little hard for me and my small hands to hold, especially while spraying. Usually, I keep all my hair products/ sprays in a little cabinet, but this one doesn't fit. The large can is also a plus for money-savers because there's a lot of hairspray (=
  • I've heard lots of bad stuff about the Sebastian Shaper PLUS. So, be careful not to accidentally get that!
FEATURES/ PROS:
  • Brushable styling Hairspray with hold and control. It really doesn't make your hair all hard and gel-like. Instead, it makes your hair controlled and looks natural.

  • #1 selling hairspray in America!
  • Aerosol. Truthfully, I like aerosol hairsprays because it's more convenient when I want to spray all over my head without stopping. It's also easier to control how much hairspray I want in a particular area. With non-aerosol, I really have no choice on the amount of hairspray going on a spot. Aerosol hairsprays had a bad reputation for a while because aerosol was made of compounds that emitted chloroflourocarbons into the atmosphere, and damaging the ozone layer. However, aerosol hairsprays today have eliminated those harmful compounds, and are perfectly environmental- friendly. So, the only difference between aerosol and non-aerosol today is what YOU prefer.
  • Non Sticky. WOOHOO!
  • SALE AT ULTA RIGHT NOW! only around $7! for a limited time only. Only available in-store.

Johnson and Johnson PURPOSE Gentle Cleansing Wash Review

http://www.purposeskincare.com/images/prod_Wash.jpg I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this face wash. It's my favorite! I know it looks cheap, and you're probably thinking, "Johnson and Johnson? That baby company??" Yes, that baby powder- producing company. But if this wasn't so good, how could it win Editor's Choice Award for Allure magazine in 2008? Trust me, it's soap-free and hypoallergenic and leaves your skin as smooth as a baby's bottom. (= I admit, I like it a lot partially because it makes me nostalgic, because I used the Johnson and Johnson Baby Wash as a child, and this smells the same, BUT this product is truly good.

It removes excess oils form my face without leaving it dry, like normal soap does. I can't stop touching my skin afterward because it just feels so soft! Gentle Cleansing Wash can also be used as a makeup remover, especially for eye makeup because this is soap-free; thus no irritation. This FOR SURE will not clog pores because it is 100% oil-free (even though, it itself looks like oil).
I usually hate washing my face with products because my skin gets dry and itchy if I do, but Johnson and Johnson PURPOSE Gentle Cleansing Wash is really perfect for me and probably all skin types, especially sensitive skin. 5 out of 5 stars! Woohoo!

Buy this product at local drugstores or Ulta.
