The Best Fall Beauty Buys You Need Now

Happy first week of Fall! I for one can’t believe how fast summer flew by, and that we are just a few days away from October! The weather is still giving summer vibes, but have you noticed the slight crisp feel in the early mornings? That means Fall is here and it is settling in! I’m pretty excited to bring back sweaters, boots and cute Fall hats, but the thing I’m really in the mood to shop for is makeup!

This summer I kept my looks pretty low key, mostly playing with the neutral soft glam look popularized by the stunning Lori Harvey. But the change of seasons has me feeling like it’s time for deeper colors, bolder techniques, and overall more of a look. If it’s time to freshen up your makeup collection, keep reading for the Best Fall Beauty Buys You Need Now!

Essence Makeup Lash Princess False Lash Mascara

I used to wear strip lashes just about every day, but spending almost a year at home during covid kind of made me  get over that habit. I still wear them when I’m going to be on camera since they really step your look up, but on days where it’s just me IRL, I turn to the Essence Makeup Lash Princess False Lash Mascara. It comes in a regular and waterproof formula and is just what you need for an elevated eye makeup look without having to add falsies! And at $4.99 it is an absolute steal! I work with Essence as one of their stylists and all of their products have been fantastic, but the mascara is definitely one of my faves!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow and Styling Wax

Dramatic soap brows have been everywhere this year and the trend shows no sign of slowing down. I have long been a fan of the Dip Brow by Anastasia Beverly Hills and  the new Brow Freeze Styling Wax is a way to nail the soap brow trend without having to use anything weird like soap or gel! It gives you that soft feathered brow look without any sticky residue.  If you have been dying to experiment with this eyebrow trend, check this out for sure!

Natasha Denona Retro Eye Palette

I am a a STAN for Natasha Denona palettes. The pigmentation is incredible and even though they are pricey, a little bit makes a huge impact so they really do last forever. This Retro Eye Palette is full of deep smokey plum  and burgundy shades that are perfect for bringing the drama for Fall.  Plus it looks like there is a good mix of matte and shimmer for maximum versatility.

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Divine Powder Blush

I have been using this blush for months and it’s incredible! The pigmentation is off the charts, you only need a tiny swipe and it looks absolutely radiant. I have Exotic Bloom and Orchid, which looks a little scary in the packaging, but trust me it’s gorgeous. Stay tuned for the restock.

Deborah Lippman Cuticle Lab Set

The weather is cooling down so it’s time to show your skin some extra TLC from head to well, nail! I’ve always been a fan of DIY manis, and I’m sure a lot of you have been doing your own nails more and more since 2020! I tend to show my cuticles some extra love, with oils and extra moisturizing creams to keep them in great shape and prevent tears and hangnails. I love this little set from Deborah Lippman since it includes everything you need to pamper your hands the way your favorite spa would!

1.       At-Home Dry Cleaning from Dryel

I’ve been making efforts to run less errands out to spend more time at home, and the Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaning kit has been an amazing help! Dryel works in your dryer in 15 - 30 minutes and saves up to 90% of the cost of dry cleaning, but keeps your clothes and fabrics looking newer longer. The heat of your dryer activates the cleaning solution in the Dryel Activated cleaning cloth to release a steam that removes body soils and odors from the clothes. The Fabric Protection Bag maintains the optimal balance of cleaning agents and heat, allowing the steam to work thoroughly through the clothes, and then slowly vents the vapors out of the bag and dryer. The kit also comes with the Dryel Booster Spray, which includes extra cleaning agents to remove stains and add freshness to heavily soiled areas.

For more information visit Dryel’s website at https://dryel.com. To purchase Dryel, look for it at Walmart, Target or your favorite grocery store.

Everything You Need for the Best Summer ’18!

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com.

Summer is the best season! The temps are high, days long and fun-filled, and everyone just has an amazing renewed energy to celebrate the new season! In collaboration with BabbleBoxx, I’m sharing a few of the essentials you need for the best summer ever!

Summer is the season for iced tea, so of course we had to get a few bottles of Pure Leaf Tea House Collection! They are actually one of my go to iced tea brands so I was so happy to see this in my box. The Strawberry and Garden Mint is super refreshing and the Spiced Chai is perfectly balanced with the perfect amount of spice.

This is a great drink to buy when you are out and about on a hot summer day and need a pick me up! And if you love at home mixology, I think either of these organic iced teas would go great in a bourbon based cocktail!

On the beauty and skincare front, they included the Beauty Water and Sheer Renewal Cream by Colleen Rothschild. I love a facial spritz for refreshing your skin on the fly and this will come in super handy after long days in the sun when your skin starts to look a hot mess. The team is also giving you guys 20% off all regular priced items with code BOXX20, so get to shopping!

One of my favorite things this box were the Coobie Bras. They fit perfectly and are sooooo soft and comfy! They sent me a Lace Back Scoopneck in a soft pin and a nude Lace Bralette. There is also another discount I can share with you guys for these babies! Take 30% off any order between now and June 2019 with code BAB30

And this wasn't in the box because it would melt, but they sent coupons to get a free box of My/Mo Mochi ice cream. Have you ever had Mochi? It's ice cream wrapped up in a sweet rice dough, so it's pillowy and soft on the outside and full of rich creamy ice cream on the inside. It comes in 8 flavors, and I tried the mango! If you like mochi ice cream, check out their site for where to get yours!

And since no summer box would be complete without some rosé, they threw in 2 bottles of Cavit! I love a nice chilled glass, and my boyfriend figured out how to make the most amazing frosé, so I'll be trying to copy his technique.

Let me know what you guys think of the products and if you buy any with those codes make sure to share your pics with me!

How to Be Your Own #HairGoals with Prose Customized Hair Care

Let's be real - we are all on the quest to have the best hair possible. However you define your best hair is up to you - whether that be short and straight, long and bouncy or kinky curly. Great hair starts with health and I've been through HUNDREDS of products looking for the ones that would keep my curls hydrated, shiny and strong enough to resist breakage and maintain length.

I discovered Prose through Octoly, an influencer network and I was immediately intrigued. A fully customized hair care line based on your lifestyle and hair goals? Sign me up! I did their assessment online which asked a series of questions about my styling process, environmental conditions, and hair and scalp characteristics. 

My products arrived a week or 2 later with a detailed guide to the ingredients chosen and why they would be good for my hair. Some of the key ingredients were argan and jojoba oils for moisture, hyaluronic acid and collagen to repair and restore, and oat lipids and sunflower seed extract for color protection. My instructions are to shampoo and condition 2x a week, use the mask once a week, and 2x a month leave the mask on overnight for some ultimate hair rehab. 

I noticed a difference right away and my hair has been getting even better with continued use. I mean take a look at these curls! 

The shampoo cleansed without leaving my hair feeling stripped, and the conditioner and mask are rich, creamy and super hydrating. In short, it works wonders for my hair because it's made for my hair.

If you are interested in trying Prose check them out! And the only thing I can ask from the Prose team is to pretty please add in styling products!
