I’ve had a running list in the back of my head of products I’ve never tried but want to. Here they are.
Dry shampoo. I have very fine straight long hair that gets limp and stringy looking quickly. I dye it so, I don’t like to wash it every day to prevent the blue/black from fading too fast. Every summer the dry shampoos get reviewed and Klorane usually comes out on top. They offer a smaller, less expensive can that I may have to try out.
Tapered curling irons. By twisting your hair along the cone, as opposed to clamping and rolling on a straight barrel, you’re supposed to get more natural looking waves without dented hair and curly ends that give you triangle head. I’ve found two on the market right now.
Conair Infinity You Curl – $40 at Target
R Session Tools Runway Series tapered curling iron – msrp $50 – this product was mentioned in InStyle’s September issue and of course, it’s nowhere to be found. It has a slightly larger barrel, detachable guide, traditional clamp style if you want it, and it gets 50 degrees hotter than the Conair one (better for coarse hair).
Lip Stain. I really need some recommendations since I’m at at total loss. I’m looking for something that has a bit of coverage but not too dark. Just a nice enhancement of my natural lip color that I can put some lip balm over. It also needs to be easy to apply and have staying power. I may give the Maybelline Color Sensational stuff a try.
And something I wanted to try and finally did:
StriVectin skin products. They’re mostly known for their amazing stretch mark potions and thanks to fun Sephora samples, I got a deluxe trial size of StriVectin Sculpting Cream. In a few days, my mom has already told me how great my skin is looking. She used the word “taut” and mentioned my defined cheek bones. I’m going to milk this sample for all it’s worth.
What are you curious to try out?

Revlon just made a lipstain/balm combo and I really like those! Wait til they go BOGO at CVS and go nuts! :) You can also get dry shampoo at drugstores (I think PSST is a brand that’s often found). Let me know what you think if you try them!
I will def try out the PSST brand if I see it. Will have to go on a hunt. Thanks for the recs!!!!
Try that dry shampoo and tell me if I should try it.
Poochie wrote about it on her Bubblegum blog a long time ago. She loves it! I’ll definitely keep everyone posted!
I haven’t seen the tapered curling irons before but it looks like a good idea. Might have to try and track one of those babies down…
If you already have a classic clamp curling iron, I would just get that first one. It’s easy to find on Target.com and since you don’t have coarse hair, you don’t need the extra 50 degrees. Plus, it’s cheaper! The pictures I’ve seen of hair styled with it looks soooo pretty!
