Review:  My reviews are generally balanced.  I will always write at least one good thing about a product even if the rest are bad.  The purpose of writing this review is to ensure that readers are aware of what they are buying and what to expect. Today, I review beautiful textures and mint. com.  What's the connection?  Remember, last week , I talked about being a product junkie, well, beautiful textures is a hair product and mint.com is a site that helps you budget and know exactly how much you are spending.  Mint. com keeps it real. 

Product: curl control 

ingredients: Aqua, Glycine Soja Oil/Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Argania Spinosa Nut Oil/Argan Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil/Coconut Oil, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil/Olive Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit/Shea Butter, Mangifera Indica Seed Butter/Mango Butter, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract/Rosemary Extract, Dimethicone, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract/Aloe Vera, Phenyl Trimethicone, Panax Ginseng Root Extract/Ginseng Extract, Glycerin, Polyquaternium 11, Steareth 2, Steareth 20, DMDM Hydantoin, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Sodium Carbomer, PEG 150 Distearate, PEG 12 Dimethicone, CI 15985/Yellow 6, Parfum/Fragrance, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, d-Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Lyral, Methyl Ionone Gamma.

Review - Great ingredients, inexpensive, nice smell (not too strong) but this tangled my hair.   So I won't be using this for wash and go but I will use it to twist my hair.  Definitely not a wash and go product for those with my hair texture. 

Product:  Tangle Taming Leave in Conditioner

Ingredients: Aqua, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil/Olive Oil, Argania Spinosa Nut Oil/Argan Oil, Glycine Soja Oil/Soybean Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil/Coconut Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit/Shea Butter, Mangifera Indica Seed Butter/Mango Butter, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract/Rosemary Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract/Aloe Vera, Dimethicone, Panax Ginseng Root Extract/ Ginseng Extract, Polyquaternium 37, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Glycerin, DMDM Hydantoin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Phenyl Trimethicone, CI 15985/Yellow 6, Parfum/Fragrance, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, d-Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Lyral, Methyl Ionone Gamma.

Review:   Great ingredients.  Inexpensive.  Very Strong smell. Something in this product made my left eye itch for three days. But when wet, it did detangle but when it dried up, it tangled up.   As you all know, my  main problem with my hair is not really length - my hair grows long and fast but rather tangles. So, I was disappointed in this product.   I believe in using every product I purchase so I will have to find a use for this.  If you have my hair texture - do not buy.  Skip this one.

Review:  Great ingredients.  Inexpensive.  Nice smell.  My hair says two thumbs up.  Left my strands detangled, and my hair very soft.  I will definitely repurchase this product.  WOW!!! Great.  I can use this for my wash and go's.  Most definitely buy, buy, buy.

In less than 10 minutes, you will find out how you are doing financially and where your money is going.  You will have to make some fast decisions after viewing. 

Why use this:  I wanted to find out how much I was spending out of my checking account.  I pay all my bills from there.  I wanted to determine what I need to cut or reduce on.  After, I was done, I was like WOW! :-(

What did I find out:  Yes, I am a product junkie and my curiousity about how things feel, taste and my curiousity about different cultures was definitely costing me some.  

What am I doing:  I put myself on a semi flexible budget. 

I think many in my age group or younger need to get on this program soonest.
