Brushlab Pretty Pink Dual Mirror Brush: A Review

The great people at Brush Lab have sent me a few brushes to try out so today I'm reviewing my favorite of the bunch! The Pretty Pink Dual Mirror Brush.

Product: 5 out of 5!

Packaging: n/a

Quality: 5 out of 5!

Price: $ 9.98 @ Brush Love

My JKNM Stamp of Approval is for all items that are 5 out of 5 in all categories!

The Claim:

“Ultra-fashionable dual purpose hand mirror plus nylon ball-tipped styling/detangling brush. Great size for travel. Pink is in !!!"

- Brush Love

The Good:

First off, as soon as I opened the box the hot pink color drew me in. I love the hot pink and black color combo. Its cute size makes it perfect for just tossing it in your purse to touch up your hair on the go. Its really lightweight and feels good on the scalp. I'm one of those people who enjoy having my scalp scratched and hair washed and the brush works great without feeling its pulling your hair out. You can see below in a zoom shot that after brushing my whole head, there is very little shedding in the brush.

The Bad:

The Mirror can get a little smudgy, if you're toting it around with you, but that is to be expected.

Overall:

Even babies like it! Haha, that's my little cousin attempting to brush her hair. I've been using this brush for a few weeks now and it stays in my purse. If any of you know me well, you know that I always carry huge purses with tons of stuff. The bright color makes it easy to find in the midst of all my clutter and its light so it doesn't weigh my bag down. Because It rubs against so many things in my bag, the mirror usually does get a bit smudgy but all it takes is a quick swipe with a clean cloth to remove it. I definitely recommend this brush for traveling, you can buy it online or at your local Ulta.

Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner: A Review

I just want to say that I have NEVER finished a hair product. Barely finished any of my makeup. But if my memory serves me right, I've never finished any of my beauty products especially all by myself. This stuff is AMAZING.

Product: 5 out of 5!

Packaging: 5 out of 5!

Quality: 5 out of 5!

Price: $ 11.50 @ Sephora

My JKNM Stamp of Approval is for all items that are 5 out of 5 in all categories!

The Claim:

“Infused with lavender, rosemary, and super-conditioning marigolds, this leave-in is ideal for dry hair. The scent is a lovely warm complement to the fresh Rosemary Mint Shampoo with Sea Moss. What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petro-Chemicals
- Phthalates
- GMO
- Triclosan"

- Sephora

The Good:

I cant say enough about how good this product is. Its amazing. I used it daily and it conditions my hair wonderfully without weighing it down. Its light, but you can definitely feel it working as soon as you put it on. Its great for ALL hair types. And it smells sooo good. Black Vanilla. Its really subtle too and not overpowering at all. With continued use you can feel your hair getting softer and softer. I usually use it in the morning when styling my hair, but admit, sometimes I even used it throughout the day just to give my hair a little pick me up. I have super thick hair and it just sucks up moisture and this definitely was a great moisturizer for me.

The Bad:

I have NOTHING bad to say about it.

Overall:

Its great for ALL hair types, that's one thing I love about this brand. It just caters to keeping hair healthy. There's so many things we don't know much about when it comes to additives, but we're becoming more and more aware of them as this knowledge is put out there. Carol's Daughter products specifically leave out certain harmful ingredients that can strip and dry out your hair, doing more harm than good. I'm definitely going to be reordering soon!
