Just go to bellasugar.com to enter!
And for all you curly girls like me, check out my review of their Wave Shaping System!
Do you have sorta-curly hair? Some days it’s curly, and others it’s just…BLAH! On those days do you just slap on some more mousse or a little extra gel? And all that leads to is junky, crunchy hair. I was the same way until I found Living Proof Wave Shaping Hair Serum at Sephora (the exclusive beauty retailer).
It is lighter, easier to use and does less damage to my hair. Not to mention, it is touchable and soft with no crunchiness! My hand no longer gets stuck in my strands when I am fluffing mid-day! I have yet to give the shampoo and conditioner a try, but am tempted by Thickening Cream, No Frizz Styling Spray and their new Restyling Spray! I am in love! Give it a try all you curly haired ladies (and men) and let me know how you like it!
(The instructions for long hair say to use 3 quarter-size drops. That is too much for my hair and makes it a bit greasy. I use just a quarter size amount, but try it out for yourself and see what works best for you!)
I have a lot of hair. I have a lot of long, curly hair that sometimes I just do not know how to handle. While scanning through my facebook news feed the other day I came across a status post saying something about a Spin Pin. I had no idea what it was and looked it up on Google. The Spin Pin is a modified bobby pin, fashioned in to a corkscrew shape.
Still unsure, I saw a commercial explaining that it does the work of 20 bobby pins! Now that might be a little dramatic, but it definitely caught my interest. I headed out and with luck, I managed to get the last one at Target.
Verdict: I am a big fan! It is simple to use, and really does hold up a lot of hair, fairly securely, with no elastic band required!! Although I still need some tweaking on making the Spin Pin style work for me, I will definitely recommend it to anyone that gets frustrated with bobby pins and tangled hair ties!
I could spend hours a day applying makeup, playing with colors and techniques. But most days, I don’t have that kind of time. These 5 things create a look suitable for every day and can be applied in less than 5 minutes.
Mineral Powder: Everyone does coverup differently. Some won’t leave the house without full coverage foundation, while others just touch up a trouble spot. For me, I like just enough coverage without caking it on. That is why I am a big fan of powders, especially mineral powder. My favorite right now is Cover FX Powder FX pressed powder (at Sephora). I just swipe a thin layer quickly over my T-zone and blend and I’m good to go for the day.
Bronzer/Blush Duo: I recently started using NARS bronzer/blush duo. The products are expertly matched to create a natural look with bronzing and highlighting effects. My favorite duo (and the one I hear about most often) is Orgasm Laguna. The name will bring color to your cheeks when you say it, and when you where it.
Duo Eyeliner Pencil: Even with my daily makeup routine, I love adding just a hint of color to my look. That is why I love Vincent Longo Duo Eye Pencils. My favorite is Lime Forrest. The Forrest color helps define my eyes and while the Lime adds that splash of color that I love.
Good Mascara: My personal favorite is CoverGirl LashExact. A good mascara opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake, especially with a clean, fresh face.
A Good Gloss: Looking in my purse right now, I have four very different lip products. But of those, my go-to gloss to finish off my look is Milani Buzz Worthy lip gloss in Bee Mine. This gloss, made with honey extracts and enriched with vitamins A & E, is smooth, not too sticky and provides that little bit of color I need to complete my look.
