December Favorites

It's a short list, but these two products came to mind immediately. This was the first time I've ever tried them and I will definitely use them again.

First up:

Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo by TIGI
This came as an extra in my Little Black Bag Subscription and I'm really happy with it. I usually don't like dry shampoos because they just don't work with my hair. I have fine, dark hair and dry shampoos usually leave a white residue and weigh my hair down. Sometimes I can't even brush it out, but I've noticed that this one is pretty much colorless. I've tried endlessly to find one (from high end to low end) that will work and so far this one is holding up. It allows me to get one extra day out of my shampoo and my hair is a little shinier because I'm not washing the natural oils out on a daily basis. My color is also holding up a little better too. The one downfall is the scent. I think it's suppose to be a citrus but it doesn't do it for me. However it does wear off almost immediately. It's not enough to keep me from using it.

Next up:

Time to Clear Purifying Mud Mask by AHAVA
I love using mud masks, but I hate sitting around with it on my face for 10-15 minutes. Call me impatient.This mask you only need to leave on for 2 minutes...PERFECT! I tend to get the hormonal breakouts around the chin and this helps to clear it up. This is great if you have sensitive skin because it goes on with more of a sheer consistency. It also doesn't dry out your skin like some mud mask can. My skin didn't feel tight when I rinsed it off and I had a healthier glow.


I'm always open to trying new products. I would love to hear your suggestions for dry shampoos and facial masks. What are your go to products?
