Keune Shampoo for Blondes review

Hello Gorgeous!

I know it's been awhile since my last blog post, my apologizes!

As you all may know or have seen on my Instagram @xospringdoll that I had recently just bleach my hair blonde.  I have been told by my stylist and friend that I should use this product, it's the best for blonde hair.  I have no clue how to take care of blonde hair cause I have never gone this blonde before.  I think the closest I have gone was like copper orange tone, which was so gross and i hated it!!! 

Anyways she told me where I could find it at Aloha Beauty supply.  I had to google map it and it's not too hard to find.  I only wish that my friend had mentioned to me that there was a dog, cause when I walk into the store I literally screamed my head off from a barking toy dog head straight towards me... Lol!  Then came out the sale associate trying to calm the dog down and said that I was the first loud screamer that walk into the store.  Anyways I let him know that my stylist had sent be for a bottle of Keune silver reflex shampoo.  He was very helpful and he also gave my some samples of argan oil products.  

I've tried the product a few times and it was great it really did keep my blonde from turning orange.  But as you may know I'm a beauty blogger, so I strayed away from this product for a bit and starting trying other blonde products.  I had found some products for cheap at TJMaxx like Rusk and Bed Head, both had a nice purple tone to it, the texture were pretty thick and it lathered well in a very light hint of lavender in color.  I also purchased the John Freida blonde hair toner was also the same in texture, color and lather.  I tested all three for a couple of weeks and it totally change the color of my blonde.  It made my blonde slightly orange.  


And at that time I thought "great now I would have make another appointment to just get the orange out!". I was think how shameful I would be to see my stylist and didn't listen to her advice and stuck to Keune.

RUSK sensories Bright Shampoo




I went back to using my Keune shampoo and by my surprise just in one use of the stuff it literally lift the orange right out of my hair.  And it's like every time I use this products my blonde hair just looks so gorgeous and healthy all the time. I wish I had bought a bigger bottle of this stuff cause it's just so amazing.  This product is very liquidly, very very dark in purple and when it lathers it's a very vibrant purple foam.  This product is so pigmented it will leave a slight stain to your fingers and nails,  so be sure to wear gloves or just paint your nails.  Here is picture of what I'm talking about by how pigmented this products is.

How I clean my makeup brushes.

Hello my lovelies,

I'm so so sorry it's been awhile since my last post.  I've been really busy with my jobs, family and my crazy kids.  I haven't had the time to post anything beauty related, plus I haven't even gone shopping to test out new or old products.  Due to the fact that my family and I are going on a trip to LA & Vegas in October and I'm trying to save up some money.  I'll be sure to make beauty ideas or updates later.  

As for the title of this post I had clean my dirty makeup brushes this past weekend and video it on my iphone!!! So I hope you gals enjoy. 

Feature product:
 Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile soap in baby mild.
