Every year Sephora brings out mini sized samples of some of the most wanted beauty products. These are limited edition kits and supplies are always limited…once they are gone, they are gone until next year with a difference assortment.

My most favorite of the Sephora Favorites is the Lashstash Mascara Deluxe Sampler (This one usually sells out first).

Another one of our favorite Sephora Favorites is the Get Pink’d Pink Lip Deluxe Sampler with 9 glosses for $37 ($80 value).

These kits are the perfect treat for the summer that let you try multiple high end products without spending a lot of cash!

Wen Cleansing Conditioner (by Chaz Dean) is one of those hair products you just have to try for yourself to believe.

I came across Wen a few years ago when it wasn’t as well known as it is now. I just had to see for myself if a using a “shampoo” without later would do anything for my hair. I was skeptical, but pleasantly surprised at how Wen made my hair look and feel.

It is simply amazing how 1 hair product can take the place of a shampoo, conditioner, and leave in treatment all in one. I absolutely HATE other shampoo/conditioner 2 in 1’s, but Wen is completely different and not even in the same class as those other products.

Wen is extremely gentle on your hair, and after just a few uses you will notice a difference compared to regular shampoo. Normal lathering shampoo will begin to feel like it is stripping your hair, were Wen is totally moisturizing. I also love the smell!

If you decide to try Wen, please remember it will take a few times of washing to get used to that non lathering feel, kind of like just putting strait conditioner in your hair. After you wash and dry your hair you should immediately notice a difference.

The best deal on Wen is the home delivery program that can be found here-

1- 12 oz. WEN® Cleansing Conditioner

You can cancel anytime, or reorder as needed and there is a money back guarantee. One bottle usually retails for at least $28 (16oz) elsewhere, so this is a great value.

I recently got the opportunity to try out the new vibrating mascara from Maybelline - Pulse Perfection.

Maybelline Pulse Perfection is an inexpensive drug store brand of the very expensive Lancome ÔSCILLATION.

For the price, this mascara can not be beat and gives my little lashes length, volume, and darkness.

The vibration part of the mascara is very easy to use and is just a little button on the end of the wand. I did find the mascara to clump slightly, but to me it was a good clumping that just helped thicken my lashes.

The only downside of this mascara is that it was not waterproof.

Maybelline Pulse Perfection can be found in drugstores and online. Retails for $14.99.
