Small Purchase- Redken and Arizona Tea

The other day, my mom and I were going to Supercuts right after school to get Imran's hair cut. Before we entered the hair cut store, we actually went to the store right next to it, which happened to be Jewel. If any of you know me, you may know that I LOVE Arizona tea. It's just so cooling and refreshing with the perfect tint of fruityness! My favorite are Peach Green Tea and Half Mango, Half Tea. How about you? So we picked up some Arizona and some 66 cent Warhead jelly beans.
Normally the jelly beans wouldn't be priced so low, but with Easter just passing, everything is super inexpensive! So if any of you are looking for some sweets to buy, I urge you to look in that section.

Anyways. so afterwards we stopped at the Supercuts next door. While Imran got his haircut, I looked around the dainty little shop for some hair products. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I knew that Supercuts always have the most amazing sales so it was fine by me to spend the time looking around. Supercuts always has great deals at the counter - up to even 60% off!
I was debating between getting this box of Redken products ($5) or a shampoo and conditioner full-sized Paul Mitchell- ginger scented ($10). Even though the Paul Mitchell products were of great value, I absolutely despised the smell. Plus, I decided to look for conditioners and shampoos that are Sulfate free so they don't damage the hair, but the Paul Mitchell product did have Sulfates, which is why I left it behind.

The box of Redken products was situated on the counter claiming that it was $18, but now is $5. With this value, I purchased the products. I've been absolutely enjoying some of the items. While I haven't used the hair spray yet, I used the texture cream and it was really interesting. I found it so cool how the texture cream comes out of the tube with the easy move of the nozzle.

So here was my small purchase/mini haul. If you're interested in a deeper review of these products, just shoot me a message!

Mini Haul!

The other day, my mom picked these up for me while my brother was getting a hair cut. 
Now I just want to start off by pointing out that Supercuts is totally trying to attract women to their store with these bags full of men and wonderful cuts. And it's working. 
Anyways, one of the items my mom purchased was this:
It's the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm. She got it around $2-$3 since it was on a HUGE sale at Supercuts. I tried it once or twice and was satisfied with it. It's pretty much a two-in-one product for those girls with frizzy hair like me. You can tame some of the frizz and blow dry it at the same time (since it works as a heat protectant). I skipped out on blow drying for a long time, but started getting back into it so I was thinking about getting a heat protectant anyways for my hair. Yay, mom!
I like how it has a pump at the top and the smell is okay. It just doesn't mix with my shampoo sent real well, so I'm glad that I'm getting a new, different shampoo soon anyways. 
My mom also got me this shatter polish:
The pink color of this was dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness month - cute color! And the bottle was $3, which is pretty cheap compared to the normal price ($8.50). 
I don't know why, but my mom has been purchasing a lot of OPI shatter polishes for me. I don't even have any opaque colors of OPI... just shatter. Haha. And the sad part is that I don't really enjoy shatter. Sure, it's cool, but when I have the time to do my nails, I'd paint designs on them rather than skipping out with this. 
Also, I personally have a grudge against shatter polishes. I had my other ones for about 2 months and kept them sealed tightly. Looked back on them the other day and the black and white were as hard as a rock. The only ones that stayed *OK* were the red and blue ones, which I cared for less compared to the other two *le sigh*.  I don't believe I've used one of those shatter polishes on all my nails before besides one time with the black and once with the white. Since I only wore the red polish on my left hand once to test it out, I decided to send it to my cousin in Pakistan along with a goody bag full of other girly items. 
I might buy some nail polish thinner to fix this, but I'm not sure if it'll work. I'll try to use this pink one for once before it dries out too. 
But I'm still thankful for my mom getting me this. She was so excited to give it to me- it was so cute :3

Just the Little Things

From left to right in the pictures:

1. As a Muslim, I totally agreed with this! Hahah, it's a first world problem, but wearing wool was horrible.
2. I tried Samoas for the first time! Deliciousssss.
3. I don't know about you, but everyone on my twitter was talking about Pretty Little Liar's season finale. They were revealing who A was, but it being a Monday, I didn't have time to watch. I tweeted this and my friend responded with a witty comment!
4. Don't mind my disgusting looks, but I love this scrub! The smell and exfoliat-or makes me feel so clean and fresh.{St. Ives Apricot Scrub}





5. Just done with our nutrition health unit. Trying to eat healthy by eating oatmeal- its probably the most healthiest breakfast out there. Okay, maybe the sugary ones isn't as healthy, but I need at least a little bit in my system. Love the banana flavored ones!
6. & 7. Camera whoring, I'm sorry. But I learned how to dry my hair properly with a round brush! Takes around 30 minutes but it's worth it. I haven't dried my hair with a hair drier over a year, so this won't kill my hair too much with its condition right now. Imran said he thought my hair was pretty. Made my day. :')
8. More breakfast! Cheesy eggs for cheesy Huma.


Not pictured: Pita Inn trip because Imran won a great scholarship, and today's events which I will be discussing once I have pictures in. <3 How's you're week? Are you on Spring Break like me? What are you're plans to relax? I'd love to hear.
