I am not one to spend a lot of money on beauty products, and most of the expensive items in my bathroom either belong to my roommate or have come in a gift bag. I am perfectly happy with drugstore brands that I have been using for years such as Cetaphil (and to be honest I sometimes buy the generic version), Dove Body Wash and Biolage shampoo and conditioner. My one splurge is usually Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco conditioner because I am obsessed with the smell. I use it sparingly and try to make the tiny bottle last as long as possible. Recently, however, I received a great, cheap haircut and because I saved so much money on my cut felt justified in splurging on product (my mind works in twisted, expensive ways). I purchased a tiny bottle of Bumble & Bumble Treatment Styling Balm, and I am really, really happy with it. Don’t get me wrong, I firmly believe that paying almost $40 for 3.4 fluid oz of styling balm is completely outrageous, but when this bottle is gone, I might just do it again. Anything that gives my hair a little shape and style, tames my frizz and adds some shine and all I have to do it run my fingers and a little of this magic potion through it when I get out of the shower? Perfect. Imagine the possibilites if I went wild and actually attempted adding a round brush and blow dryer to the equation? I might leave the house with this hair:

Gucci hair, swooon. Heyyyy, it could happen…
