Get Ready with Me

I will walk you through my Get Ready routine from start to finish! I am going in general order of operations but there might be some jumping back and forth.

ALTERNA CAVIAR ANTI-AGING

MOISTURE REPLENISHING

Shampoo | Conditioner | Smoothing Gelee | Leave-In Milk

I received a Deluxe Trial size of this from my Sephora Play! box a couple years ago and immediately fell in love with it. I distinctly recall it making a "Day 1 Difference" on my hair.It was this product line that actually woke me up to there being a legitimate "Quality Ingredients" category for hair products. I also love that there is a Travel Pack of this specific line. I get my 4 pc Travel Kit at Sephora (Shampoo, Conditioner, CC Cream, Leave-In Milk), which I can't link to because its a random release they do a few times throughout the year (so I usually buy 2)... But here is the 3pc Kit at ULTA and TARGET.

Full Disclosure: Not all products in the Caviar line are the same. I made the mistake of buying the jumbo set of the "Anti-Frizz," and it left my hair incredibly greasy.

BELIF

AQUA BOMB COLLECTION

Jelly Cleanser  |  Herbal Extract Toner  |  Water Essence  |  Aqua Bomb (Gel) 

This was also a Deluxe Sample I received and I was immediately obsessed with. I remember being so torn about wanting the Toner and thinking it was going to wreak havoc on my skin (I was under the very wrong assumption "toner" was in the same family as "astringent" and it is SOO not.)

This collection also has an amazing 4-5pc Travel Kit (they have different varieties) that I normally buy multiples of when I come across them. I say that because they sell like HotCakes. This one is also available in multiple places.

Again, Sephora has the complete "Best-Sellers" kit (with cleanser, toner, essence, moisturizer, and eye cream; the exact picture displayed) but it's another random release (SO fucking frustrating), here is the SEPHORA backup version (with no cleanser in this one). ULTA (has a kit also, not the "complete" one, but still good).

To wrap up: I have dabbled in other products from this line and I've learned that I love the Gel style moisturizer more than the cream (though the cream is still awesome). My favorite item is now apparently discontinued (The Oil Gel Cleanser) which has me devastated (!!!) And I haven't yet experimented with their newer things (face mist, sunscreen, etc.) but I may give the Balm a try next since it has a "Balm to Cream to Oil" aspect to it. I love Oil Cleansers because they don't strip your skin as bad.

KENRA PROFESSIONAL

PLATINUM EDITION

Blow Dry Spray  |  Hot Spray 20

So I accidentally stumbled upon this product. I was in a last-minute mad dash to pick up a travel size of hair spray before we went on vacation, and this was the only travel size I could find at the closest ULTA.

Oh. My. God. I ended up going through 95% of the bottle on our trip and immediately went and got a Full Size version as soon as we were home. It smells amazing (one online review even said it smells like "heaven") FACTS: It completely transformed my hair. Like, first time use. If I'm being completely honest, this line also sells a Shampoo & Conditioner version and simply from the amazing results from their Thermal Protectant products, I'm highly tempted to give it a try. I'm currently well stocked on my Caviar, but I may just try their Restorative Shampoo & Conditioner when the time comes.
