Washing My Hair Only With ACV | dpHue ACV Rinse Review

Hey guys! Been a WHILE huh? I will update more on that later. Although I've been mia here on the blog, I've been back on YouTube for a few months now! My original beauty & diy channel is now Bushra Hamilton and BushraLately is more of a vlog channel. So much has happened! I can't wait to share more with you guys later.

I finally got a VoxBox after what feels like a decade lol. I had never heard of this product or brand before so it was exciting to try out. In the past I've done a DIY version of an ACV (apple cider vinegar) rinse and it did NOT go well. It has a rather pungent odor and my whole body ended up smelling like it no matter how careful I was trying to be. Glad that's in the past. 

I like to think that I'm in the category of "very long" when it comes to hair. It touches my butt. Is that good enough? One of the fastest ways for me to grow out my hair is by not washing it everyday. When you wash it everyday, your hair tends to dry out. It gets thirstier than guys on deployment. I leave mine alone and let it take a break from all the suds. I wash my hair every 3-4 days. It varies on how much dry shampoo I use and how hard I worked out. Sweaty hair gets greasy much quicker. That's where this product comes in. It's supposed to clean your hair without the need of any kind of shampoo. Traditional or dry shampoo! No dry shampoo? What is life?! This product makes some big claims so let's get right to it.

CLAIM: Substitute for Shampoo and Conditioner. Can be used between shampoos to give your hair a break. Works great for color treated hair. 

Say whaaat? Substitutes Shampoo AND Conditioner?! We shall SEE. Hmmph! 

I tested this bad boy for 1 week. The goal was to see how long I could keep using this ACV Rinse without needing to shampoo or condition at all. I did not use any other product on my hair besides dpHue's ACV Rinse! Check out my video down below to see the outcome!

Wanna know something funny? I went to blogger.com to get to my blog right...and I almost posted this on dirtontherocks.blogspot.com! LOL! Before publishing I noticed all the posts were in draft form. I clicked a few and was like omg this is so old what in the world?! Glad I didn't post it there. I wonder if any of you even read this? Say hi if you do!

REVIEW | Keurig 2.0 K550 - Is It Worth It?

I. LOVE. COFFEE. I love my Keurig. When Influenster asked me if I would do a survey for something coffee related I thought, "Sure why not? I love coffee." I thought maybe they'd send me a VoxBox filled with coffee flavored goodies or new flavors of coffees by Keurig. Coming home from work one day and finding a huge box at my doorstep was just the first of my many surprises that week. I was on the phone with my friend while trying to open this big box of whatthehellisthis. After a little struggle with slicing through all the tape with a knife and pulling out the box while still on the phone, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was sent the brand new Keurig 2.0 K550 even before it hit the shelves! OMG!!! I set it up immediately and took a step back to admire its beauty. After using it for well over a month, as much as I love coffee and Keurig Coffee Makers, now I'm not fully convinced this is really an upgrade. Why? Just read below!

Today I share with you some lovely wedding essentials. 

These are some of the little things that make a big impact on your big day ;)

NOTD | Sally Hansen Barracuda Nail Polish Swatch

SALLY HANSEN 

#360 BARRACUDA 

This is from Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure line of nail lacquers. This bottle is supposed to provides 7 benefits of a "salon manicure" from a bottle. I have a full review of it HERE. This color looks like a beautiful pastel blue in the bottle. Once dried it looks a little bit darker but still lovely and it's a great color for summer! I had to use 2 coats on most nails and 3 on some. I felt like the formula for this particular shade was a little thicker compared to the other ones I've tried from this line. I love this line but the biggest con is that their formula is very inconsistent. Some shades are more sheer while others are thicker and goopier. I've gotten a few compliments on this color and even had someone at work go out the next day to get a manicure done with this shade ;)

REVIEW | Reveal 2 Palette

What is it?

CoastalScents' answer to all the prayers from those of us who find it hard to spend over $50 for a couple of eye shadows. This is more than a dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette. I say more because it offers 20 beautiful shades, Naked 3 offers only 12.  Thank you Gods of Makeup! Look below for swatches and all the pros and cons of this palette.
