Jovial July Hauls 2025

[WinglessOne]

Is retail therapy helping you handle hot summer weather? Or is this month Justifiable July Hauls for you, sticking to a low-buy plan? Either way, show us all the goodies you got this month! 

Besides the 1st for Canada and the 4th for the US, there are some beauty-related national (in the US anyway) days to celebrate: 

• July 3 - National Compliment Your Mirror Day, more about affirming your reflection than the mirror it’s in. Practice a little self-kindness and love this month. ❤️
• July 23 - Gorgeous Grandma Day, whether or not you have grandkids. I don’t, but I’m certainly old enough to! 😅
• July 29 - National Lipstick Day, a favorite among us lipstick hoarders lovers. Though let’s be honest, all of July is Lipstick Month. 😂💄

@greeneyedgirl107 the OUAI Mini Detox Shampoo 3 oz/ 89 mL is soooo cute! 😍

[WinglessOne]

@greeneyedgirl107  I hope at least one of those hair products works out for you! I know you’ve been getting more into haircare lately. 

Also, I could swear I commented on your post before… either it disappeared, or I never tapped the Post button (happens sometimes when I’m in an insomnia fog). I’ll assume the latter. 😅🤦‍♀️

@WinglessOne thanks - I hope so as well!  The OUAI Detox Shampoo I'll mix with my usual shampoo maybe in August as I just clarified my hair in June (waiting one month is too soon for me).  The ogx Argan Oil won't spray...which is the second one I got like that from Target.   The Eva NYC is very different from what I thought it'd be...its basically an oil mist whereas I thought the texture would be similar to a leave-in conditioner.   The Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine was really greasy when I tried it on dry hair years ago.  Now, I want to try it on my wet ends as a styling product and see if it makes them smoother.  I keep seeing online how lightweight it is which was not my experience...but I wouldn't be surprised if this time it is too lightweight!

There are so many products I want to try, and I even emailed several companies asking for free samples but they all sd no.

For now, I'm going to stick with trying more hair oils. 

I want to try Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Frizz Reduction & Heat Protection Hair Oil for heat protection, 100% argan oil (i had Josie Maran's but idk where I put it), 100% castor oil, Nature Lab Tokyo oil mist.  And maybe Kerastase, Ouai or even Cecred.  At least the 100% oils are cheap, and I can get samples of many oils at Sephora.

Looks good, @greeneyedgirl107!.

[CynthieLu]

Loooove that Ghost Oil! 👻 @greeneyedgirl107 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu I remember you loving it!  I tried it once and found it too greasy, so I returned it. But I've been wanting something for my ends to make them smoother, and I remembered that you used this as a serum on your wet hair.  So, I thought I'd give it another whirl but use it the way you use it.

[CynthieLu]

I do!! 😍 And less is more always @greeneyedgirl107 just a pump is more than enough. I hope it works out for you girl! ❤️

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu thanks for the support!  So many products to try, such little time!  And the rain/humidity makes experimenting so hard!

[CynthieLu]

That's so true @greeneyedgirl107 Humidity is so challenging 😞 It really does get in the way sometimes.

@Titian06 how do you like the hair products so far?

[Titian06]

@CookieGirl1 - I've been using

- Fenty Beauty by Rihanna The Rich One Moisture Repair Shampoo 10 oz / 300 ml 

- Fenty Beauty by Rihanna The Rich One Moisture Repair Conditioner for Fine to Medium Hair 10 oz / 300... 

since the beginning of April twice a week almost exclusively.  They are my new fave S&C.  I do need to wash twice with the shampoo; otherwise, my hair feels dry--and my hair usually soaks up the first wash.  The conditioner is thicker, but not heavy.  I don't use as much as with most conditioners.  My hair doesn't feel weighed down.

I used the #Fenty Clear Thinker (still can't tag) once.  As someone who really likes scalp scrubs with the physical scrubbing particles, I liked this clarifying shampoo.  It only took one wash to make my hair and scalp feel fresh and clean.  My hair didn't feel dry afterwards.  I followed with the K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL .

As a comparison, I've tried the OUAI Detox Shampoo that "everyone" loves.  I did not like that one.  It did not clean nor clarify my hair or scalp.

I have fine, thin, untreated, wavy hair.
