Pantene Split End Repair Keratin Protection Creme

I have fine hair, but I often go between haircut longer than I should. And what happens then? Split Ends. Which leads to flyaways. I HATE flyaways... especially when it's humid out, because then it's just straight-up frizziness!

I got to sample a full size product from Pantene - Split End Repair Keratin Protection Creme. I wasn't really sure what to expect. Keratin has been hitting product line-ups in full force recently. It's always been around, but I think with the popularity of the Brazilian Blowout, Keratin became a headliner.

So how does it work? I was actually pretty impressed! Not only did it help with my split ends, it left my hair so silky soft and manageable. I loved the way it felt. I didn't feel like it was something I HAD to use everyday... the effects of the Keratin seem to really penetrate the strands and actually do some good.

Shocking, I know!

I think this is well worth the money (less than $10) if you've ever wanted to play around with Keratin, but aren't ready to dish out the big bucks for a professional treatment. And you only use such a small amount at a time - since I received a full sized bottle to try, I still have some of mine!

Wonderstruck

I know everyone has their own personal preference when it comes to fragrances, so it's hard to judge perfumes and such. But since I get to sample some, I still like to talk about them.

Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck has a very light, fruity scent. It has more of a sweet berry scent verses a citrusy scent. Personally, I like these type of scents verses woodsy or musky scents. The scent didn't stay overly strong for too long, so I think it's an ideal casual scent.

I think the scent fits the persona Taylor Swift presents, and any younger fans would also enjoy this scent. It's not too young, but I also can't see someone older wearing this scent. Unless you are just one of those that feels young. This could be a scent on my list of likable perfumes. But I see myself buying this for my niece before I buy it for myself.

Supergoop Sunscreen Swipes

I have to admit, the first time I saw Supergoop Sunscreen Swipes, I was a little turned off by the name... it just didn't sound pleasant. But you know what? They freakin' rock!

Personally, I love the individually wrapped swipes. But they also come in a 40 pack, which if you have a family to pass them out to may work better. I first tried these at an ultimate test spot... Wrigley Field Bleachers. It's always so hard to put sunscreen on there, especially once the crowd gets going, but these are so quick and easy... and MESS FREE! But the best part it that they really work!

They can be used all over and they're water resistant. One wipe should do the whole job, at least if you're in shorts and a t-shirt. I'd assume it's cover you in a swimsuit, too. And if you're not into wipes, they do have a full line of products. But the wipes are what make it awesome... I highly recommend them!
