    Today, I'm sharing with you my unboxing of July's Boxycharm Premium!  You can find my unboxing of June's Boxycharm Premium here and Boxyluxe here.  Boxycharm is my favorite beauty subscription box that provides 5 full-sized items for $25/month.  Boxycharm Premium is a tier above the Base box, and provides 6-7 full-sized items for $35/month.  You can subscribe to both the Premium and Base box simultaneously, and receive different items in each box.  What I like about Boxycharm is that the value of all the luxury products always well exceed the price (sign up here).

    Hair oils are an absolute essential in my haircare routine, especially now more than ever, as my bleached strands need all the hydration they can get. Avon was kind enough to gift me their Elastine Propoli Thera Hair Oil Serum, infused with Honey and Royal Jelly, so I thought I'd share a quick review with you today.

    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.

    Ever since I started lightening my naturally black/ brown hair, I've been battling brassy red tones on the daily.  I've tried a few purple shampoos in the past, and thought they worked fine, but after doing some research online, I was convinced I should be seeking out a blue shampoo instead.  Today, I'll be sharing with you my review of the Matrix Total Results Brass Off Shampoo and Conditioner, with before and after photos!

    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 😍
