Can somebody say SALE!?! I have been reading a lot online about Keracare products. I first heard of Keracare while watching video tutorials by Macherieamour. I recently heard about Keracare again from Ateya (on Youtube) as well as a few other blogs. Keep in mind I am tight on money so some expensive products I steer clear of…..That being said, I read on Healthy Textures where people found Keracare at their local JCPenny salon, others mentioned seeing it at the Walmart salons…So I went on a hunt. I figured I would try the products out, worse case scenario would be if I didn’t like them, I could send them to my cousin (she swears by Biosilk but wouldn’t dare turn down free-bees). I went to my local Walmart salon and was disappointed because all they had was the styling gel. I don’t wear gel so there was no chance of me buying it just because it was Keracare. I asked the store clerk and she said that since they would now be carrying Mizani, they would no longer be carrying Keracare. So I assume that means they can only carry one product line geared towards women of color at a time?? LAME….anyway, so I moved on to JCPenny…I was astounded to find a majority of the products that I wanted to try along with the fact that the oil sheen and conditioning creme head dress was only $1.99 (limit 3 per customer). Since I can’t pass up a deal, I grabbed a few products and headed home. My first wash day using the products, I was a little heavy handed and my hair felt gritty and coated. I was unhappy at first but realized I needed to try it again. It was relaxer day the following week and after my relaxer, I followed up with my Keracare products. I was amazed. My hair looked, smelled and felt great. I washed again yesterday and I am getting the hang of it. I am planning to start alternating between this and my s2s. I realized that I am using products to heavy, its become a habit. Using cheaper products like Suave for cowashing forces me to use more to feel like I am getting the full benefit of the product. Keracare has taught me a lot!
Also, just a quick side note: I watched Ateya use chi silk on wet hair before drying. I have added this to my regimen and the shine is unbelievable. I know people say there are a lot of cones in chi and keracare products but I am ok with it…You can’t expect perfection from hair products…
Products Purchased: Keracare Moisturizing Shampoo, Keracare humecto conditioner, Keracare Foam wrap-set lotion, Keracare Oil sheen with Humidity blocker and Keracare conditioning head dress
To buy next: Keracare Silken Seal, Keracare leave in conditioner
more I am loving the coverage I get from my makeup bag….So I decided to share the newest things in my makeup bag…Kind of a mini haul…I picked up a few Covergirl eyeshadow quads and a few from Maybeline, I picked up one that mimics Mac Sea/Sky. I also have one with pinks and browns. I got these on sale at Target. (I always check the makeup end caps at Target for deals…) I also finally picked up cream eyeliner from the Loreal HIP collection, I love it!!! I have been going back and forth about HIP duos and finally picked up the “shady” duo. I am unimpressed! The lighter shade has barely any pigment at all, for that price I am much better off getting the lower end shadows. Wet N Wild is super cheap but does the job considering I only really get to experiment with color on the weekends. Selling point for Maybeline: The expertwear quads tell you where each color is supposed to go (lid, crease, browbone, outer eye) so all you have to do is blend! I may try HIP duos again but none of the earthy colors. I am also debating picking up Urban Decay Primer Potion…..To Be Continued…..
