I’ve been puttering around with the idea of starting a themed post on Thursdays. Quite a few people have commented that they want to see more skincare, beauty, makeup, or hair related posts. Thursday Lovies would be dedicated to sharing products, tips, or tricks I love with you. It could be a new hair product I’m loving, a makeup tutorial, a skincare recommendation, an Etsy shop, or steals and deals I find at various stores. It won’t solely be about beauty – I’ll also be including baby gear, organization, house ware, kitchen gear, etc. What do you think? Does it sound interesting? Is there a specific topic you’d like to see me address?
*A huge thanks to Sarah for helping me with the name! Thanks girl!
At this point, all products reviewed will be purchased by me, myself, and I. All the products, tips, tricks will be things I’ve tried myself and that work for me. Please remember that just because I love something doesn’t mean you will love it as well. If it is a skincare product, it could make you break out. If it is a hair product, it could weigh down your hair or make it oily. I am not an expert in any of these areas by any means.
Let’s get started! This week I’m sharing some awesome products you can find at Sally’s Beauty Supply.
Argan Oil - $9.49
I talked about my love of Moroccanoil on Tuesday. If you’d like to try that but don’t like this price, this product is for you! Moroccanoil contains argan oil, and I find this product to be a pretty great dupe for the pricier product. It is *slightly* heavier than the Moroccanoil, so use it with a light hand.
As I stated before, I use the oil in lots of different ways. I use it before heat styling to protect my hair and add shine. I slather on before I go to sleep or clean as a deep conditioner. I add a little to my hair color to protect my hair while I’m coloring. I would not recommend this product for fine haired girls, however. You may find it leaves you with oily hair.
Loreal Feria Color Moisturizer Treatment - $8.49
If there is one hair conditioner I cannot live without, it is this. I have used it for years, and I keep coming back to it. It’s the stuff you find in the Feria hair color kits, only packaged for multiple uses. I actually use it as a daily conditioner for my super thick hair. It is a great dupe for Terax Crema conditioner. Love!
Ion Effective Care Treatment - $0.99
This is another wonderful deep conditioner. I like to use it before and after I color. It leaves my hair conditioned and shiny. I get about two applications out of each sample pack.
Beyond The Zone Super Sexy Styling Sauce - $5.99
This is a lightweight styling pomade for hair. I think it is a dialed down version of Jonathan Silky Dirt. I use it when I straighten my hair but want it to have a little wave and movement.
Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask – $3.69
Sally’s carries big huge tubs of my beloved Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask. I’ve talked about it before, but I’ll say it again: this is the mask I use over and over again. It cleans out my pores, dries out blemishes, and leaves me with soft and smooth skin. Try the Queen Helene Mint Julep Natural Face Scrub as well!
GiGi Mini Pro Waxing Kit - $69.99
I do my own facial waxing at home, and I own a Gigi wax pot. I use the honey wax and muslin strips. Facial waxing is not hard if you have a steady hand! If you can put on liquid eyeliner, you can wax your own brows.
Every time I go to Sally’s, I pick up a few of these pumice bars. I love them because they don’t fall apart or crumble like some bars. They are so cheap that I can throw them away when they start to get grungy.
That’s all for today, folks! I hope you enjoyed Thursday Lovies – give me some feedback in the comments. I may just pick one commenter and send them a Sally’s surprise in the mail!
Do you shop at Sally’s? What do you buy?

Here's a lame tip about brow waxing for people without a steady hand. Just put a piece of scotch tape over the area you don't want waxed off. It protects your brow and comes off nice and easy. But you look really weird so do that with the bathroom door closed.
I forgot to say what I buy. I like to get the little sticker nail decals to put on my toes after I paint them.
LOVe sallys and i am gonna try some of these products!! I usually buy orly nailpolish or base coat and top coat polish there! Also those little packets of conditioner!
I love all of the Feria products! I haven't tried that conditioner. I'll have to pick some up and try it! Also, I LOVE everything mint, so that mint julep mask is on my list!! Oh, and I am such a FAIL at waxing on my own...so I better stay away from the waxing kit! LOL. I'll end up with NO eyebrows. One time I decided to wax my legs and got about half way through and decided it was too painful. The bad part is that I had already put the strips on the rest of my leg. Sorry! Too late!
Love you new little Thursday meme!!
Hope you're having a great week!♥
I am SO in the dark...Feria is the only product in your post I've ever heard of! I could use a cheap mask, so I'll give the mint julep one a try.
Love it!!! :)
I need me some Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask. I always have at LEAST one zit at all times and I hate it!!! But I shouldn't complain - I rarely get breakouts all over my face. It does happen, just not often. I've always got at least one though. As soon as it clears up, another one pops up in it's place.
I like to buy nail polish from Sallie's. Haven't been there in a long time though. I passed by one today and didn't even realize it until just now.
I have the same GiGI waxer and we use it often, having 2 Italian girls waxing at the salon was bankrupting me!
I also cannot go without my Mr. Pumice! Seeing people with cracks in their heels deep enough to play penny slots make me vomit in my mouth!
Love the Thursday Lovies....keep 'em comin'!
I haven't been to Sally in ages! I am dying to try the Morrocan shampoo but being a thin oily hair gal, the oil would not work for me.
Now I'm an ULTA whore, was just there on my lunch break. I got Urban Decay eye pencil set and a NYX glittler eyeliner for Halloween.
I hadnt been to a Sallys in a long time, but went twice this week to get my new hair extensions! I wore them to church today and got TONS of compliments! I'm going to do a DIY extensions post soon. I love your Sallys post, keep up the good work!
Interesting and important information. It is really beneficial for us. Thanks
Argan Oil
