Geek tip of the week!

Tired of going to stores or shopping online for the perfect lipstick? Swatches not doing the color of the lipstick justice? Tip: instead of swatching the lip product onto the back of your hand, swatch the color onto your fingertips. Why you ask? It will give you a more accurate swatch of how the color will truly show up on your lips because the skin on your fingertips and lips are more similar than the skin on the back of your hand. Give it a try!

Aussie Cleanse and Mend Conditioner Review:

I find myself exploring different beauty products like crazy. Whether it's hair or makeup or even skin- I have an extremely hard time sticking to certain products. This conditioner however is something I always seem to go back to.

My rating: 4.5/ 5

Price: Depending on which size you get will vary the price between $4- $7. Target carries the 1L (comes with a pump!) that normally cost around $7 and will last you for months! Sometimes they even have it on sale for around $4 which is what the original bottle typically cost!

Smell: The smell is very fresh and will certainly wake you up on those dreary winter mornings. It has almost a lemon/ fruit smell. The scent is pretty unisex but also pleasant to smell and lingers on your hair.

What they claim: Cleanse and Mend Conditioner is a clean-rinsing formula that targets hair’s trouble spots and helps strengthen against damage, leaving you with a more manageable mane.

What it really does: Pretty much what it claims is what it does (shocker!). It leaves your hair soft, and detangled- which is extremely rare for my hair, as my hair is thick, curly and easily tangled/ frizzy.

Final Thoughts: This is a great conditioner, especially for the ladies out there who CO-wash, as it cleans your hair but also gives it enough moisture and gets rid of those pesky little tangles. My only critique would be that I wish it was sulfate free, but that's very minor and is a personal preference. This conditioner is the quality of a high end product with an incredible price. All I have to say is, what are you waiting for? Go try it yourself! You really have nothing to lose on this one.
