    Insert Name Here Hair Color Review: How I Color My Hair Red at Home

    December 7, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Happy Monday, everyone! It's a new week, so you know it was time for a new hair color ;) Today, I'm sharing with you how I color my hair red at home using the newly launched Insert Name Here Hair Colors! Insert Color Here is INH's range of vibrant, vegan, semi-permanent conditioning hair dyes. You already know I love experimenting with bright hair colors. Pigment-depositing conditioners are my favorite as they don't require developer and fade gracefully without damage. As this was my first time trying their formula, I thought it would be fun to take you along for the journey!

    About a month ago, COLAB Hair was kind enough to send me this amazing PR package, which included a colorful lineup of their cult favorite Dry Shampoos!  Ever since I bleached the living daylights out of my hair, I've been relying heavily on dry shampoo to stretch my time in between washes, in an effort to extend my hair color and give it some much needed time to recover.  So, this seriously could not have come at a better time.

    According to their website, R+Co is a collective of some of the most forward-thinking, rule-bending hairstylists in the business.  They were kind enough to reach out to me and let me choose a couple of products from their line to try out and review.  I admit, I've never heard of the R+Co haircare brand prior.  It was so hard to choose from their selection because they have so many neat haircare products, especially in the coolest packaging 😍

    April 3, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Happy Monday, loves!  Today, we are kickstarting the week with a review of the March Ipsy Glam Bag!  Ipsy is a beauty subscription service that provides 5-6 sample/full-sized items for $10/month.  What I like about Ipsy is that the price encompasses shipping, and it regularly includes full sized products in a cute cosmetics bag. March’s theme is You Are Beautiful and the Glam Bag comes with 5 products in this square, blush-colored bag. Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Vibin – Deluxe Sample Sized (0.034 fl oz) – (tartecosmetics.com) A quick-dry, full-coverage, transfer-proof liquid lipstick (sephora.com).  This wine shade is absolutely gorgeous, but I am also really digging the formula of these Tarteist Liquid…

    Hiii loves!!!  I’m finally back!  I apologize for my long absence.  I just got back from a week-long family reunion/ Caribbean cruise and when coupled with the hectic move, I haven’t been able to post as much as I would like to.  Please bear with me as I play catch up 🙂 Today, I will be sharing with you the contents of the first Sephora Play! sample box of 2017.  Play! is Sephora’s subscription service that provides 5 beauty samples plus 1 fragrance sample for $10/month (plus local taxes). January’s theme is Beauty, Set, Go and the Play! Bag comes with 6 products in a white and neon orange mesh pouch.As…

  • November Empties and Mini Reviews

    December 8, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Happy Thursdays, loves!  I hope you will enjoy this new monthly series from now on, where I go over the previous month’s emptied products, accompanied by a mini review, and whether or not I would repurchase.  Now, let’s dive into November’s Empties! MAKEUPNeutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes: These did not impress me as I didn’t feel it remove all my makeup before I go in with my cream cleanser.  I will be sticking to my Costco wipes so I would not repurchase this. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser:  Because this Medium shade was too light for my skintone, I used this solely as my eye primer for which it worked…

    Hey girl heeey!  It’s time to dive into September’s Boxycharm!  Boxycharm is my favorite beauty subscription box that provides 5-6 full-sized items for $21/month.  What I love about Boxycharm is that the value of all the luxury products always well exceed the $21 price. September’s theme is Camp Glam and comes with 5 products. Project Beauty Hairgurt Smoothing Yogurt Hair Masque – $11 (myprojectbeauty.com) A smoothing yogurt hair masque made with yogurt protein, prebiotics, quinoa, a botanical oil blend and bio-keratin (excerpt).  This masque smells INCREDIBLE, like watermelon Jolly Ranchers.  Makes my mouth water every time I use it.  However, this feels very lightweight for a masque.  I have relatively dry hair…
