First Impression: L'Oreal Paris LOCK IT Weather Control Hairspray

I've been a loyal user of Tresemme's Tres Two hairspray for years now, but I felt it was time for me to try something new. On one of my almost daily trips to Target I was checking out hairsprays and stumbled on the L'Oreal Paris LOCK IT Weather Control Hairspray. I've used loads of products from L'Oreal Paris before, so I had a feeling I would like. Plus, I'm a sucker for this brand in general.

The product comes in a fairly plain black and blue can with a nozzle designed to create a fine mist. I tend to gravitate towards hairsprays that deliver the product in a fine mist since they are easier to work with and prevent too much of the product from being sprayed at one time.

This stuff smells AMAZING! It has a light vanilla scent that makes my hair smell yummy, and it actually compliments my perfume (which I was worried about). I've read a few reviews that said it was sickly, but I really like it and I'm a huge scent snob.

The hold is what impressed me the most. It locks everything in place. I guess it really did earn it's name. The mist is ultra fine, isn't sticky, and dries quickly. I have used this at 7 in the morning while getting ready for work. and it held my curls in place well into that night. I was extremely impressed. Now, the best part of this hairspray is the fact that it doesn't leave my curls feeling crunchy. Any hairspray wearer will tell you that crunchy hair can feel uncomfortable and look unnatural. I'm not into that at all. This definitely gave hold, but I could still run my hands through my hair.

The weather control aspect also intrigued me. It's the middle of winter where I live right now so I haven't been able to test that just yet, but I have worn this out the middle of a rainstorm and snowstorm, and it held up like a champ. My curls stayed in place, and you couldn't even tell that I had been out in the elements.

The best part of this hairspray is the price. I picked up my bottle for only $4.99! That is a complete bargain in my book. I think I may have found a new favorite hairspray.

Until next time! Xo

Target Dollar Spot Haul

Target’s Dollar Spot is probably one of my favorite places to shop for little gifts and decorations. I can tell you first-hand how amazing this section is for teachers. I buy so many things for my classroom and students here. I live and die by their holiday themed pencils and erasers. It is also an absolute dream around the holidays when you are looking for themed gifts for coworkers or stocking stuffers for family. I also swear by this section of the store for stationary and cheap themed socks. God, I love the Dollar Spot!

I visited Target’s Dollar Spot this past weekend, and wanted to share some of the things I found. I’ll be doing quite a few posts like this in the future since I pretty much live at Target.

The Dollar Spot has been taken over by hearts and cactus themed items, and I had to stop myself from buying it all. I have a soft spot for both hearts and cactuses (cacti?), so I think it is safe to say that I was in heaven when I saw all of the new additions to this part of the store. My body and soul were ready for a much needed splurge.

I picked up quite a few items for my classroom and students this visit. I found these cute Valentine's Day themed pencils that will be great to give my students with their Valentines. I also picked up another pack of note cards. Target's cards are always wicked cute, and it's always nice to have some on hand.

My favorite things that I purchased were these adorable stamps and magenta ink pad. The one stamp has multiple sayings that would be perfect for a planner, and the cactus themed stamps are just plain cute. I can't wait to use them!

There were quite a few home items that I think I might pick up the next time I stop by Target. They had some nice dishes and glasses that I wish that I had picked up. Also, if you are a frequently flyer at Target like I am, you should get the Cartwheel app. It allows you to search for coupons on items in the store, and ultimately ends up saving you some money on things that you normally would buy. I'm all about a good bargain!

Until next time! Xo
