Myth 15: Applying mayonnaise to your hair will make it glossier.

Mayo is made with an oil base, and it makes hair shine. But to avoid a mess, try this method:

- Apply a cup of mayonnaise mixed with a teaspoon of vanilla extract (to cut the mayonnaise scent) to dry, unwashed hair.

- Cover your head with a warm towel to help the mayonnaise penetrate, and leave it on for 20 minutes.

- Before you step into the shower, apply a heaping handful of shampoo to your hair. Don't add any water yet; just massage it in thoroughly for several minutes. That will help break down the excess oil, says Berkovitz.

- Rinse with cool water in the shower and your hair will come out shiny and silky.

If the idea of putting a condiment in your hair makes you queasy, try a rich glossing treatment, such as Phytonectar Ultra-Nourishing Oil Treatment ($30, drugstore.com), which contains egg and rich oils, the basic ingredients in mayonnaise.

The only thing I would add to this is to add some essential oils(Example:peppermint oil, rosemary oil, tea tree oil), and non essential oils(example: grape seed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil), and cover everything with shower cap to avoid a messy towel.

BH Cosmetics

I ordered some things from BH cosmetics, the delivery came in less than a week of me ordering it.  The packaging was amazing and nothing was broken.   I was a little worried about the concealer and brushes I bought because they were so cheap!!! Like super cheap.  I have MAC brushes I have paid over $30 for, so I know a quantity makeup brush when I see it.  Anyways I love the concealer palette but I only use three of the colors at the moment and I am not sure what to do with the rest.  At first it had a kind of chalky smell but it went away.  I love the brushes and did not except the fan brush would be this big.   The brushes are soft and pick up the makeup well.  

Everything cost less than $40.

White Shea Butter vs Yellow Shea Butter

It is amazing what you find with a little reading.. So the problem is which one is "actual" shea butter... According to my research, yellow "shea butter" is from Togo, from the African Butter Tree (Pentadesma butyracea), correct name Kpangnan butter. White or Ivory shea butter, is the real shea butter(Butyrospermum parkii), the kind that has all the properties with the most benefits. While the yellow shea butter I purchased works wonders, I can't help to think what the white one does, definitely ordering some soon. Don't be quick to throw your old yellow Shea butter out, because it may just be dyed yellow.
