Spring Wish List

This cold, dreary weather is making me yearn for spring. I can't conjure up sunshine, so a fun beauty post will have to do :) I have been browsing Sephora like a madwoman and here is my Spring Beauty Wishlist.

1) Bumble and Bumble Hair Products: Sephora just started carrying this legendary haircare line. I have been researching products, trying to decide what I want to purchase. So far, it's a toss up between these...



-Surf Spray: When I was scrunching my hair during the summer, I desperately looked for this product. I craved "sexy, sun-dried, wind blown" looking hair and that is what the product promises to deliver. I will be purchasing this come summer care free, wavy locks.



-Gentle Shampoo/Super Rich Conditioner: I admit, I have not been very nice to my hair lately. I have permed it, colored it, and styled it with heat on a regular basis. My strands are dry and lackluster. This shampoo/conditioner combo is supposed to restore damaged/chemically treated hair. Currently, I'm using Redken's Color Stay shampoo and conditioner, and I am not pleased with the results. One one hand, my color stayed pretty true though the condition of my hair has not improved. Hoping Bumble and Bumble is better.



2) Philosophy Hope in a Tinted Moisturizer: Once summer is here, I switch from foundation to tinted moisturizer. I like the lighter feeling a tinted moisturizer provides in the heat. I am a fan of Hope in a Jar (a Philosophy cult moisturizer), so I have high hopes for the tinted moisturizer. Plus, this has sunscreen built in. I do see one con already - the $38 price tag. :Cringe: Looks like I'll be saving my pennies for this product.



3) Smashbox Limitless Beauty Collection: I have been drooling over this collection since my Ulta catalog showed up last week. This set is sold exclusively at Ulta and features a bevvy of long lasting products (primer, blush, eye liner, eye shadow palette, and lipgloss). The eyeshadow palette is what I'm most excited about. The shades are gorgeous neutrals that I am dying to play with.

  1. Let me know how the Surf Spray is! I've been wanting to try it but it's so expensive that I don't know if I can justify it. I've been using Blow brand's Beach Blow lately. I like it, but one spray too many and you're in grease-city. But... not too bad for a product that I won out of a raffle! :)

  2. Oh, also! Kiehl's tinted moisturizer is my favorite. And $25. Expensive, but cheaper than Philosophy. So at least it's another option :)

  3. Thanks, Sara! I will def look into the Kiehl's. I've been reading the reviews on the Philosophy and wasn't totally convinced. Plus, I saw the container in Ulta and it looked really clumsy and awkward. In any case, I'd like a free sample to try out :) I used Blow Texturizing Mist for awhile and liked it (though $20 for hair care is absurd, I know).
