This Week #1

The Week from Instagram @sierrarain_becomingmyself: Basically how what my week was filled with // Hibiscus iced tea and lemonade from one of my favorite places for grub // My cloudy day smiles // Field trip to the great land of Sephora // Bath bars and soaps from Lush Cosmetics // My all time favorite store anthro as all was mastered brining happiness into my life just by entering the store // The Oh, so gorgeous sunset from my back lawn.

Product Pick of the Week: I've been really loving the L'Oreal true match (spf 17/cool) foundation in alabaster C1. I've been really loving the way it sits on my skin. I've always been a bit scared to try any kind of foundation because I have freckles and I thought i'd be way to hard to use foundation or even find foundation that didn't cover them, but gave me coverage. Up until about a month ago i'd been using BB cream- it was ok but didn't provide the coverage that i wanted sometimes for party nights or more proper occasions. I've been really loving this foundation. 

Blog Post of the Week: I've really been raving about The Private Life of a Girl. I love the layout and colors so clean and chic. All of her pictures are so unique and I absolutely love them! My favorite post this week? Since I Met You- I'd love to create a wall like this eventually. If I ever get up enough patience and will power to do each and ever little print off or remember to save the little things.

Must-Hear of the Week: Not necessarily beauty related, but maybe you can have a glimpse of the kind of music I absolutely love. I Know- Tom Odell this song is so gorgeous and just lightens my mood completely, right up there with my favorite songs now! My second choice is The Lonely Hour- Sam Smith Man, this song is so emotional and raw. I've had it on reply for the past 3 hours now, I love the acoustic- his voice is just perf.

Added to the Wish List this Week: So I may be a little slow to the finish line, but I'm dying to get my hands on the newest Urban Decay palette #3! It's so gorgeous and the color scheme is so beautiful. Urban Decay never fails to deliver! A girl can never have to many palettes right?

Hair Care | Drug Store Lovelies

TRESemmé Thermal Creations heat protectant, L'OREAL EverStyle Smoothing Cream, aussie Hair Insurance, Matrix Total Results Miracle Treat

So over the past couple months i've been using this products. Now in the beginning I had an idea that they were all going to be really good, but I was mistaken- not to much though! (;

The TRESemmé Thermal Creations is awesome for protecting your hair again strainers, curlers, and dryer. Really anything when it comes to applying heat to your hair. I've used it for about 6 months and I love it! My ends feel softer and even my hair stylist said she'd seen an improvement which is always a total relief when it comes to us girls and our hair. 

Next I have the L'oreal smoothing cream- it's alcohol- free which is really good for your hair as alcohol drys out your hair especially the ends. Now I was a little disappointed after using this product for a while, it left my hair heavy and almost oily looking. I usually don't wash my hair for 3-4 days and after using this I ended up having to wash my hair every 2-3 days. I just really didn't like the way it changed the feel of my hair and routine. 
Aussie hair insurance- now this product gets all my thumbs up! It is so lovely, leaves my hair so soft (but without the grease) and nourished. A little bit always goes a long ways and it smells so yummy! I use this on a daily basis with every hair style. My total go-to hair treatment product! Love it! 

Lastly I have Matrix Miracle Treat, now i actually bought the whole line- Color Care(if you've seen this products it's the purple line, theres orange and blue for the colors of the different lines) Because I like to dye my hair a ton I stumbled across this product when I was searching. I used all three products the shampoo then conditioner then miracle treat. At first it was ok, I didn't see any major achievements, but I didn't see it get worst. So I ended up just using the rest of the shampoo and conditioner and I have this bugger left to finish. I use it right before I go to bed on the ends of my hair as a overnight conditioner type product. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that wants to see some major improvement, but if you need a product thats easy to find and not so damaging to the wallets this is your go-to! 
All my love- Sierra 

New Out Reach!

      Although I haven't officially started posting anything dramatically interesting, in fact this being the first post I'm publishing... I'm trying to learn more about blogging and starting out. Sucking up as much information as possible.
      I will say this will be my 3rd attempt at blogging. My last blog was going great for a while and then I got preoccupied with school and work. I'm determined more then ever to actually achieve a dream I've had for a while now- blogging!
      Now, I've set up a account with Bloglovin and it's very informative when trying to connect with other bloggers! I love it already.
