My Favorite Bikinis & Where I Got Them!

I thought it would be fun to share my favorite bikinis that I own & tell you where I bought them.

Summer is practically here, so if you’re in the market for a new bikini, check out the shops I got mine at! I own quite a few bikinis, but these ones are my favorite!

Unfortunately this one is not still available but they have a TON of adorable bikinis.

Another cute bikini from Victoria’s Secret.

This one is from Chynna Dolls. It’s probably my skimpiest bikini, so I keep it strictly for vacations without family, hehe! It has an adorable “scrunch” bottom. I promise it stretches when you put it on!

Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Total Care Shampoo & Conditioner

Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy was created to nourish the scalp. It contains Nutrium 10; which is a complex of nutrients such as vitamin B5, C & E, sunflower, almond, soybean & coconut oils & aloe vera.

The idea behind this brand is that 99% of hair’s strength comes from the scalp; therefore caring for the scalp will yield beautiful results for your hair.

I loved that they sent me a USB with all the information & pictures I would need to conduct my review. You don’t see that everyday!

They even included some tips for beautiful hair from their Dermatologist, Dr. Fusco.

Here are my favorite tips -

  • When washing your hair, alternate the use of hot & cold water on your scalp. This will help to stimulate circulation and cells from building up.
  • Try to massage your scalp for one full minute when shampooing & conditioning. Never use your fingernails to scratch at the scalp.

 

Review

I assume if Dove & Pantene Pro-V had a baby, it would smell just like the Clear Shampoo & Conditioner. Dove is one of my favorite drugstore haircare brands & I see a resemblance between the two. Dove & Clear are both owned by Unilever.

I received the Total Care version; which is made for all hair types. However, they also offer different formulas including a Damage & Color Repair Shampoo and Conditioner.

Moving on from the scent, the formula was really nice. The shampoo is rather thick; which I love. This is a high-lather shampoo which is essential for me when trying to get every part of my head without using a ton of product.

I found the conditioner to be slightly difficult to distribute completely, so I have to use a glob about the size of a golf ball to cover all of my hair; from roots to ends. With that being said, it’s a rich formula & provides a silky feeling on the hair.

As far as treating anything, I noticed a significant decrease in my occasional itchy scalp. Now if only I could find the perfect lotion for my itchy skin.

I’d say my favorite part was the scent. Every time I get out of the shower, my boyfriend comments that I smell amazing. While I’m at work & my hair gets in my face, I can’t help but stop & sniff my hair; such a fresh scent!

With the affordability of these products (between $4.99 – $6.99), you really have nothing to lose. I highly recommend trying these out.

 UPDATE:

On May 9th Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy announced their new spokeswoman is

Essie – Play Date

Featured: Essie – Play Date
Go Overboard Collection

2 Coats of Essie Play Date & 1 Coat China Glaze Clear Coat

I picked up this Essie polish at my local Walgreens.
It was obviously a popular color because it was the last one of its color.
I recently just bought a nail polish rack & I used it as an excuse to pick up a couple polishes.

Play Date is one of Essie’s “cream” formulas.
Personally, I feel that Essie’s polishes last longer than any other brands.

This particular polish is actually very opaque; even with just one coat.

I would describe this as a pastel purple that reminds me of Easter eggs.
It’s a bit bolder in color than my usual polishes so it’s nice to switch things up!

The only thing that bothered me was the inconsistency of the name!
Is it Play Date or Playdate?
The bottle shows “Play Date”
The Essie website shows “Playdate”
Nordstroms says “Play Date”

Believe it or not, this drives me crazy.

Overall, I highly recommend!
