Paul Mitchell Super Clean Light aerosol hairspray is one of my very favorite hair products. This light-hold finishing spray is awesome for controlling flyaways, and helping hair hold a casual style. I have a 3.5 oz bottle and this stuff has lasted me forever because you only need a little bit to create a soft style -- you may need more if you want that '80's shellacked look ;)For a salon product, this Paul Mitchell spray is pretty affordable at around $10 a bottle. The bottle gives a fine mist of product and has yet to get clogged or have any issues. I usually spray a little of this directly on to a soft hair brush to tame flyaways, or I will hold my head upside-down and spray underneath for extra volume. It is just enough hold to get a good style and keep it, without looking overdone or too polished. I also love the smell, it is amazing! It's that signature Paul Mitchell Awapuhi-type scent, delicious. Also, it is great that Paul Mitchell does not test on animals!
Highly recommended!
You can find this at salon retailers, or your local Walgreens.

On my recent trip to Walgreens, I noticed that a lot of beauty and skincare lines are releasing new products for Fall and Winter. I took some pictures (on my camera phone) and found out some information about the new items they are stocking, including Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit products, St. Ives In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Gilette Shave Cream, and more!
Among the new things I found was St. Ives In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish. This looks like a nice, affordable ($8. for a large tub) body scrub for the colder months. There are two formulas here, one is "Mineral" and the other is "Healthy Brilliance Brighten & Glow", both look promising and spa-like.
For the Back-To-School and sport season, it looks like Sinful Colors has released a new collection called "Team Colors". As we all know, Sinful Colors are awesome and with them, the price is always right (at around $1.99 each). I didn't get a chance to look at all the shade names, but there was a deep shimmering maroon, a bright yellow, forest green, and other shades that look like your school's logo. Depending on your Walgreens' stock availability, I believe there is also a black shade, a deep cobalt blue, and a white.
Interestingly enough, Gilette Satin Care (my personal favorite brand of shave gel, by the way) has come out with a new scent called "Alluring Avocado". My Walgreens had a mini size for about $2, but I wasn't daring enough to try this scent. I like avocados and all, but generally I don't think they smell that delicious. Apparently this scent is infused with aloe, jasmine, and orange blossom as well. A user on Buzzillions has a rave about it, so maybe I'll try it when I run out of my Wild Berry shave gel!
What really excited me, however, was Neutrogena's line of acne fighting products now infused with pink grapefruit. I already use and love their Body Clear Body Wash, so I was happy to see a less medicinal scent infused with microbeads. I will definitely be trying the Pink Grapefruit Body Clear Body Wash as soon as I use up mine!
I also made a little haul on this trip. Reviews and pictures to come within the next few days!
What do you think of these new products?

Blog Happenings
Hey everyone!
I wanted you to know that I am in the process of doing some major work on/for my blog. I want to have a lot more content available to my readers, so I plan on having at least 2 posts a day in the future, starting this coming week (Sunday). To kick it off, I will be hosting a new giveaway as well, so make sure you check back!
Right now, as you all may know, I am a full-time student and part-time worker besides doing this blog, so I'm sure you can imagine that it is a bit busy for me. I really want to devote myself to this, for you guys! I am running out to CVS and Walgreens tonight to check out some products for potential review.
By the way, if anyone has any requests, questions, tutorial desires, whatever... just let me know! I'd be happy to fulfill them because sometimes I run out of ideas as to what to put on here.
Also, I do appreciate feedback on all my posts, positive or negative. I recently got a few comments on an old post of mine that were borderline rude, but still I do appreciate the fact that someone was that affected by my post to bother commenting and "calling me out" on it. It seems to be the way of the web: people hiding behind their computer screens can have a complaint about anything and everything, but in real life they wouldn't have the nerve to actually say something to your face about it.
Anyway readers, thanks so much for your support and I hope that you enjoy what is to come at Shop With a Vengeance!
P.S. I am really excited that I sold my first item at my "Shop My Stash" store on e-crater tonight! I will be picking out my samples and sending it out on Monday. Yay!

L'Oreal Skin Genesis Daily Treatment Eye Serum Review!

Ok, I wanted to give this product a while to work so I've waited 2-3 weeks to review. This is the second eye product I've used... as I'm not really showing any signs where I'd feel I'd need one, but just as a preventative measure. If anything, I was dealing with some dark circles, little bags and occasional puffiness. (That's all, lol!)So I put L'Oreal's Skin Genesis Eye Serum (also called Derma Genesis if not in the U.S., I believe) to the test... and I think it is a very good product. I am also using Almond Oil in conjunction, as I've previously mentioned, around my eye area so that could be helping to combat my issues as well. I just apply a tiny, tiny, dot of this serum to my ring or pinkie finger after washing and moisturizing my face and gently pat it onto the area under my eye, smoothing it around until it is evenly applied. I do this two times a day.
This product is very gentle and has not caused milia or any dryness. Yesterday, my mom told me that I did not have dark circles and I wouldn't need to find an eye cream (she wasn't aware that I had already been using this product for weeks). Basically, that sums it up for me... this product MUST be working because I definitely did have dark circles before and now they are practically nonexistent!
I can't say much about the firming aspect of this because, as I said, I am somewhat young to be experiencing under-eye wrinkles/crow's feet, etc. The other eye product I've tried in the past was L'Oreal's Dermo-Expertise Eye Defense... which truly did nothing at all. I think Skin Genesis is working so far, and I'm overall pretty happy with it!
This product is available at CVS for just around $20!
If you're in the market for a new eye treatment, give this a shot! :)
SWAV Haul: L'Oreal Lip & Nail BOGO at Walgreens!

Walgreens
Hello my lovelies! Today I picked up a few things at Walgreens, as they were having a Buy-One-Get-One on L'Oreal nail polishes and lip colors! I can't resist a deal, hehe. Here's what I got!
L'Oreal Paris Nail Polish in "How Romantic" and "Breaking Curfew". I was in dire need for new polishes, for my toes of course... and I loved these two shades. Particularly the darker one, because it's such a rich color with no shimmer! Can't wait to try 'em out.
I also bought L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipgloss in "Dulce De Leche" and "Undeniable Mauve"! A girl can never have too many lipglosses, right? I particularly like Undeniable Mauve, because it is so smooth and wearable. It just feels good, especially because there are no sparkles or shimmer particles in it. But the other shade is a nice nude-y neutral so that is good too.
I tried them on for ya'll... what do you think?
<-------Dulce De Leche Undeniable Mauve---> 
I know, I know, I definitely have these colors elsewhere... but what can I say, I'm always attracted to the same colors! Does this happen to anyone else?
