My 2016 Hair Care Favorites

As you guys may know, I have been on a natural hair journey for some time now.  I like to experiment with natural products that contribute to giving me healthy natural hair. As a protective style I tend to wear my hair in a weave a lot, however when it is time to take my hair down my hair usually needs a thorough washing. Lately I have been using the Pura D’or Scalp therapy shampoo and healing conditioner. I also like to add in the Argan oil once my hair is done! I love how tingly the shampoo feels in my scalp it really nourishes and cleanses the scalp. Watch my video review  featuring the Pura D’or Shampoo and conditioners that I use!

My Beauty Travel Essentials

As some of you may know I travel back and forth to Miami about every other month. I have learned quite a few things from traveling so much! One of those things is how to pack and what to pack! Normally I like to travel light. I usually bring one suitcase and one carry on. My carry on is usually my computer bag and sometimes my camera bag. I have mastered fitting everything into one suitcase and keeping it under 50 LBS. However, during my recent trip to California my suitcase was overweight so the TSA agent asked me to remove my makeup bag to see if that made the difference, and it did! My makeup bag weighed exactly 3 LBS by itself! I know Crazy right? You are probably thinking who needs that much makeup! In my defense I was in the bridal party of my friends wedding so I kind of over did it a little. Well since that trip I have been more mindful of what to pack in my makeup bag! Today I am going to show you guys what I like to pack in my makeup bag!

Face:

I like to bring with me favorite foundation. Which is my L’Oreal infallible pro matte foundation. I love this foundation because the packaging is small and easy to pack. I also love this foundation because it is my favorite and most reliable. When packing a foundation I recommend bringing the foundation that you use the most. The one you know will not let you down.

For contouring I always bring my NYX contour kit. It is sleek and carries all of the colors i need for contouring and it easily fits in my makeup bag.

Eyes:

For eyes depending on what look Im going for I usually bring one of my BH palettes. Right now Im obsessing over the Carli Bybel palette. The majority of the colors are neutral and I can create a ton of different looks with this palette. If I know I am going to want more of a night time look or something that stands out a bit more Ill bring my Lime Crime palette a long as well Both are easy to slide inside my makeup bag.

Get it here!

I almost always pack my Inglot paint pot eyeliner in #77. Its a small pot that will easily fit into my makeup bag.

Get inglot Paint Pot here!

Lips:

For Lips I always bring my Colourpop lipsticks. They are long wear and are my most reliable lip products I have in my collection. I usually bring a nude color and a pop color which usually consists of a red or magenta color.

I also bring along a couple of my Jordana Lip pencils. I usually pick whatever colors go best with the lipstick I chose.

41N6c0pjvZL._SY450_.jpgLashes:

When it comes to eye Lashes I tend to pack the lashes that look best on me. My go to lashes are House of Lashes  Bambie lashes or Kiss Lashes in the number KFLD03.

My 2016 Bedroom Tour

 

 

As some of you may know I have an insane love for home decor! It truly is my passion and I find it so therapeutic. I love to visit stores like Home Goods, Ross, Marshalls etc., for items that are unique. Most of the items in my bedroom are from Ross and Target. The DIY items I created are from amazon, Walmart, and Michaels. I love to create my own items as well as shop for statement piece items!

L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation

Everything Matte has become the new makeup craze of 2016! From matte lips to matte foundations to even matte nail Polish! The latest matte product everyone seems to be obsessing over is the new L’Oreal infallible Pro Matte Foundation! I am proud to say this foundation has become a favorite of mine. I purposely left my foundation at home for my trip to Miami as an excuse to go and purchase the new L’Oreal line of matte foundation! I instantly fell in love while applying this foundation! It goes on matte and and dries almost instantly! While I do recommend a primer when wearing foundation, especially in the heat, I found that you don’t really need one with this foundation! I have combination oily skin and it kept me fresh all day! Even in the hot Florida weather! I highly recommend this foundation for anyone that is looking for a long lasting foundation with a matte finish! This will be my go to foundation from now on!

Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Kit

IMG_2502.PNG

Watch my full video review here!

I have been using the smile brilliant teeth whitening kit for about two weeks now and I am very happy with my results so far. I did notice that I have to spread my sessions out to every two weeks because the bleach began to irritate my gums a bit. Depending on how sensitive your teeth are you may want to spread out your sessions as well. You can make your sessions any where from 15 minutes up to an hour. It just depends on what your comfortable with. If you’d like to purchase the exact kit that  use I have placed a link down below. I also have a 5% off coupon code for you guys to use as well. I have a full detailed review video on my youtube channel if you’d like more of an in depth review as well!
