MY FAVORITE MAKE UP BRUSHES⁣

by 88 Comments

We ladies love to stay beautiful, not only for our man’s eye but most importantly for ourselves. And one way we do that is through makeup. Of course, we are already beautiful without them, but admit it, they elevate beauty to a higher level! Those beautiful shades of lipsticks, eyeshadows, blush… oh my, just thinking about it makes me wanna buy a new set of them! lol⁣

When buying makeup, we always make sure that it is a good brand that won’t hurt our skin. We even tend to become picky with them (well, we should since we are talking about our faces). And one tool that we use to wear makeup is makeup brushes. As much as we are picky with our makeup brands we also need to be also picky with our brushes. And to help you choose what brands you should trust, I would like to share with you my favorite makeup brush brands, my absolute favorite will be at the end!⁣

Let’s start with Dior-⁣

Dior⁣

Yes, one of my favorite brands, may it be makeup, bags, pretty much all of their products. Dior makeup brushes are topnotch, their bristles are soft and made especially for your face not to get irritated. They bring the best out of the foundations by providing a smooth, natural and glowy nude skin effect. Just like the Dior Backstage powder brush, with its soft, round shape and its layered, tapered fibres, it lightly deposits powder on the face for an even finish in a single sweep.  They’ve got plenty of brush sets that you will surely love.

YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) ⁣

Their simple but sleek elegant looking brushes are also one of my faves! Yep yep yep, another designer brand (you know how I love them lol). I like that it’s luxurious and expensive, but aside from that, they are of good quality. Their nice and fluffy foundation brushes are must-haves! If you are a makeup lover like me, you must have heard about their Y-brush. This brush is luxurious in both look and feel, and totally practical at the same time. Its innovative Y reservoir allows for mess-free, easy application and buildable coverage. The flat-top foundation brush buffs and distributes foundation evenly across the skin for a flawless, weightless finish! That is only one of the several beautiful brushes that they have. Check them out!⁣

Chanel⁣

Love their designer bags and makeups, of course, their makeup brushes too! They are great quality brushes that you could hold on to like for eternity (well, that is if you know how to take good care of your brushes properly, of course, lol. Maybe that can be another topic for another blog). From their makeup brushes with matte-black handle with golden ferrule to matte-black handle with silver ferrule and now their new brushes with black handle and ferrule ( the Les Pinceaux de Chanel) the great quality of this product is still the same, if not, better!⁣

We all know that Chanel is a brand of good quality products so you could easily trust their brushes too, just like their Retractable Dual-Tip Eye Contouring Brush. Girl, you’re gonna love this brush, it’s a very convenient brush to have especially if you travel a lot because of two sides that are both retractable (a definer and smudger) and you get to have two brushes with a price of one! They also have other brushes like this (dual-tip), like Retractable Dual-Tip Concealer Brush, Dual-Tip Brow Brush, etc., better check their website for the list. lol. Though a bit pricey, each brush was sturdy enough to justify the price. These brushes are as straightforward and convenient as makeup brushes go. They do the job and are definitely of good quality. ⁣

Lancôme⁣

Lancôme is part of the L’Oréal Luxury Products division. And we know that they are also an awesome brand for makeup! But well, let’s talk about their brushes. One of the highly-rated brush that they have is the Blending Shadow Brush #17, the softness of the brush lasts long, and it retains its shape even if you used them for a long time. You won’t see stray hairs, and this brush never sheds. Just what we need for a brush! There’s nothing more annoying than a makeup brush that sheds, ugh! You know the feeling right? Well, this brush won’t disappoint you for sure. Aside from this brush, there are also other brushes that you can try, just like their Dual-End Liner and Shadow Brush #18 (this rare dual-ended brush both sides are equally impressive), Concealer Brush #8, Dual-End Liner and Smudger brush #24, Precision Cheek Brush #7, Blending Tip Brush #16 and many others. Try it!⁣

Each brush was created to make product application easier for every woman, with brushes for the eyes, face, and lips. So if you’ve been looking to splurge a little on your tools, try picking up a few from these brands. They are my trusted brands of brushes that I entrusted to work with my designer makeups. I don’t mind spending a couple of extra bucks for a really good brush if it means it will last me a long time, I know you feel the same way too. ⁣

And, let’s end with my favorite!!!⁣

Artis

What’s so great about Artis brushes?⁣

They are made to be used with cosmetics and across all types of formulas  – liquids, powders and emollients.  Each fibre bundle is packed with 3-10 times more fibres than their closest makeup brush counterpart, and the tip of each CosmeFibre tapers down to 3 microns (which you can’t see with the naked eye!) so you get the softest application and superior results.⁣

The handle is made to fit the wrist perfectly!!! It’s a serious splurge, the Rolls-Royce of makeup applicators, ergonomically correct, indestructible, and able to deliver a flawless finish to your fabulous face and body!⁣

I use to be a regional manager for the brand a few years ago and would travel to stores and teach MUA’s how to use them. I really recommend their brushes to you all and guarantee that you will love them as much as the Kardashians and Kylie Jenner love them. Yup, that’s right, they are one of the trusted brands that they love.⁣

⁣ So why not go and try them now? You’re gonna love them, trust m

The Best Skin Care Products

by 10 Comments

Your skin deserves the best care. Although we love wearing makeup, we must not neglect to care for our skin. In caring for my skin I am very particular with the products that I use, I even change products based on the season and/or depending on how my skin is doing.

It is important to change products every season since weather can certainly have effects on the skin, particularly its ability to contain moisture. Just like your skin tends to be drying out more than usual in the summer or winter than in the fall or spring, so you need a skincare product that would moisturize your skin during these seasons.

Now, I would like to share with you the skincare products that I love using, and you can also try out depending on the season and the condition of your skin.

DERMALOGICA – Daily Microfoliant, Antioxidant Hydramist, and Multi-Active Toner

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is a must-have. This product can get rid of old skin cells and can rejuvenate the new skin cells. Your skin will feel clean and glowing and is gentle enough to use every day. And the size lasts a long time so it is worth every penny. I would recommend this if you want to get rid of your acne scars. But I don’t totally recommend this to super sensitive skins.

Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist is a great pH balanced hydrating mist that is full of antioxidants that help to hydrate and fight free radicals in the environment that causes stress on the skin. You can really use it any time, especially if you are using a pH balanced cleanser as well. It also helps shield the skin of free radical damage! Crazy right? Try it!

I also love their Multi-Active Toner. This is a light facial toner spray that truly hydrates. It has this perfect consistency and is easily absorbed by the skin. You’ll feel like it really does help lock the moisturizer. It’s even amazing for oily skin. 

TATCHA – Peach Kissu Lip Mask, Water Cream and The Deep Cleanse Exfoliant

Is chapped lips your problem during winter? Then you’ll surely love Tatcha’s Peach Kissu Lip Mask, a leave-on jelly treatment of squalane and Japanese peach that restores lips. 

First off, I love this brand. Their products just feel luxurious–and you know I love luxury lol–their packaging is so clean and overall everything works amazingly. You can apply a decent layer over your lips and wake up with baby soft lips. Also good to put on at the start of your makeup and by the time you are ready for a lipstick your lips are already soft.

Their Water Cream is also one of my favorites.  This is an oil-free, anti-aging water cream that is thick enough to lock in and protect all serums, but light enough to not feel too heavy or overwhelming. It’s gentle and perfect for sensitive skin and is also good for combination skin which feels heavy with most face creams.

You’ll also love Tatcha’s The Deep Cleanse. It is a gel cleanser that uses a natural fruit exfoliant to whisk away dead skin cells but still leaves your skin hydrated. It leaves such a soft and clean feeling. And if your skin is oily, it does not leave an oily feel to it. 

GRACE AND STELLA – All Day Rose Spray 

Their All Day Rose Spray is a great facial spray to use in high humid weather. You’ll surely like the soft smell of the roses and it doesn’t stick around which is nice.  It leaves skin hydrated but not sticky at all. It can be used daily and help in maintaining pH, primes, and hydrates!

SKIN & CO ROMA –  Truffle Therapy Face Toner and  Cleansing Oil

Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Face Toner is also a great toner. This face toner isn’t drying out skin and is totally compatible for combination skin type. It smells amazing, cleans skin greatly, makes it smooth, and firmer and it can actually diminish fine lines and shrink enlarged pores. The product is a little bit pricey but it is worth your penny! 

For their Cleansing Oil, before using you have to shake it well, since it is an oil and needs to be mixed. I love it as it does a great job of removing makeup and dirt from the skin. It can take off every trace of makeup, even waterproof mascara with minimal rubbing. It will not sting your eyes or  face, and don’t cause any breakouts or irritation.

LELAND FRANCIS – Luxe Facial Oil

This product helps improve the skin’s luminosity.  I love that it is hydrating without feeling greasy or heavy. You can use this product on your face and neck everyday as a moisturizer. It helps clear your complexion and keep your skin healthy. The name suits it as it really feels luxurious on the skin.

TERRE MERE – 12 Anti-aging Elements

This 12 Anti-aging Elements formula combats all these major signs of aging and includes lactic acid that breaks up dark spots and moisture-rich hyaluronic acids from botanical sources to support a healthy collagen structure. It has a beautiful fragrance and texture to apply too. And this little amazing bottle goes a long way! if you have very sensitive skin and it won’t cause any reactions or irritation.

ZO SKIN – Brightenex

 ZO Skin Brigthenex is soooo good. It’s one of my favorite products. It solved texture issues, pore size, and made skin so bright. Not only does this product have all the amazing benefits of a retinol, but it also contains brightening agents in the ingredients. Keep in mind however to always wear SPF every morning when you’re using this, as your skin can become susceptible to sun damage during this time. Well, you should wear spf anyway before going to protect your skin from the sun.

GROWN ALCHEMIST – Age Repair Moisturizer

You’ll love this moisturizer especially if you tend to have dry skin during winter. This does a wonderful job moisturizing the face and also leaves your face nicely toned. It’s so amazing. And it doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. I know this moisturizer is pretty expensive but worth it if you want to invest in your skin. And we all do invest for our skin, right?

DR. BRANDT – Pores No More Pore Effect Refining Cream and Magnetight Age-defier

Pores No More Pore Effect Refining Cream is a fantastic stuff! You can use it at night time as it is quite a concentrated cream and adds oil on your face after a while but it can work wonders on your skin. I really like it’s tea tree smell and  the slight tingle it gives on the face. This can help skin like no other cream has. If your pores are large and clog very easily which results in acne, this cream helps keep pores minimized and clear.

Their Magnetight Age-defier is very fun to use and aside from it, it leaves skin smooth after use. The mask has a nice texture, smells amazing and it goes on so smoothly but that’s nothing compared to how smooth and just awesome your skin would feel after you take it off. 

KARYING by Dr Karyn Grossman – Restructuring Night Cream

If you are a fan of not too fragrant products, you’ll love this night cream plus it’s good on sensitive skin. You can layer it over your retinol products and wear at night. Your skin will feel instantly hydrated and you’ll wake up with dewy, glowing skin. You’ll love this product for sure!

MURAD – Renewing Eye Cream

This eye cream is super gentle on your skin and doesn’t go on thick. It’s very hydrating and light weight and leaves your under eye feeling firm and helps get rid of puffiness. This really reduces fine lines around the eyes and smells good.

Lancôme – high resolution night cream, Visionnaire Eye Cream and Tonique Confort Hydrating Face Toner

Lancôme’s high resolution night cream melts into the skin without leaving any greasy feel, yet keeps skin soft. Some may shy away due to the cost, but a little lasts a very long time and I am worth that. lol

Visionnaire Eye Cream helps reduce dark circles under the eyes and the quality of the cream felt so good on the skin. It definitely improves the overall appearance of the under eye area and helps with puffiness and tightens it. 

Tonique Confort Hydrating Face Toner is a silky-soft moisturizing toner immediately rehydrates and gently purifies skin. This comes in a pretty pink plastic bottle with a silver screw top. You’ll love this, especially when your skin is dry during the winter months. It’s gentle giving skin the moisture it needs!

Rodan + fields – Redefine line-am and on cream and eye cream

I also love the Rodan + fields Redefine line. Yes, it is on the pricey side, but you’re not going to find a better skincare line out there. You get what you pay for and in my opinion it’s worth it. AM and on cream leaves the skin smooth and hydrated, and as the line says it redefines the skin.

The redefine eye cream helps a lot if you naturally have bags and puffiness under your eyes. And this not only instantly provides improvement with puffiness, over time the results include a reduction in wrinkles and dark circles as well.

111SKIN – Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask

I absolutely love these rose gold brightening facial masks by 111 skin! Unlike others, I found the fit to be good and it stayed in place pretty well for such a moisturizing mask. Your skin feels amazing after using it. It’s a bit pricey for a mask, but it’s worth the price.

Kiehl’s – Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Mask

Love this mask. It moisturizes the skin very well. This surely is good for the dry skins. It gives like a glass of water hydration and next morning the skin is plumped , soft and well hydrated. Probably one of the most amazing overnight masks out there.

Laneige – lip sleeping mask

If you are struggling with dry lips that have to apply chapstick several times a day, this product is for you. This mask can make lips more naturally hydrated as you use regularly. It is so hydrating and takes away all the cracks and dullness.

Peter Thomas – Potent-C Vitamin C Power Serum

This product really gives you immediate results. You see results after three or four uses. It brightens any dark spots, helps with fine lines, hydrates, and helps shrink pores. It is a little bit thicker than most serums though. If you apply the serum at night, in the morning your skin feels really good and soft.

Caring for your skin must be your top priority. Even if we love wearing makeup, nothing beats a healthy glowing skin that you wouldn’t need to put your makeup on if you are just going to go to the grocery store. I’m sure that several products on my list will help you care for your skin and always remember to drink more water. Your skin will thank you for it. (wink)

BEST FOUNDATIONS OF 2020

by 132 Comments

Wooo, it’s hot!

Are you sweating your foundation off yet, changing it for the summer? Most of us find it hard to find the right foundation that suits our skin. Maybe we know the shade that fits our skin tone but our skin types might not be compatible with the foundation.

Fret not my dears, that’s why I’m here giving you a list of wonderful foundations that your skin might love.

1. Hourglass Vanish Seamless Foundation

2. Hourglass Vanish ​Seamless Finish Liquid 

Foundation​, this foundation is amazing. It should be worn with a really moisturized skin and use a little bit goes a long way. One pump gets the entire face. It has a primer built into it so you don’t have to wear one. Some people might not like this but a lot love their Seamless Finish Foundation Stick. ​This foundation is gorgeous! If you usually hate how foundation sticks are stiff and hard to blend, well this one is different. It blends like a dream and it wears so nicely throughout the day. If you have normal/dry skin, visible pores, uneven skin tone, and texture, with lots of freckles, this foundation will do an excellent job masking all of that while still making your skin look like skin. (You know what I mean. lol) It blends in so easily, even with just your fingers.

3. Kat Von D Beauty Lock-It Foundation

I own a​ KVD Vegan Beauty Lock-It Tattoo Foundation ​and I personally love it. In fact, this foundation is a definite staple in my collection.

 This foundation does a great job with keeping oil at bay throughout the day and it also doesn’t accentuate any dryness that you may have— it’s nice and matte. I’ve often put it on at 6 am and it still looks fresh at dinner. I do not need a concealer with this foundation — in fact, it’s the only foundation or concealer I’ve found that does not crease under my eyes. It stays smooth and crease-less under my eyes all day long.

But if you want something that looks natural and not a full coverage girl like me, this is not for you. Even lightly applied, this foundation looks like you are wearing makeup.

4. Tom Ford Traceless Foundation

I love Tom Ford products, but we’re gonna talk about their foundation in particular of course. lol. Their ​Traceless Foundation Stick​ is amazing! It’s a good buy for​ $88​ believe me it’s worth it! Most of us may associate foundation sticks with cakey face, but with this foundation, it’s not cakey at all. And what’s more amazing is that a little goes a long way, and it stays on your face for the entire day.

Their ​Traceless Foundation SPF15​ is just as amazing as their foundation stick. At a price of $88, it’s a great buy! I love its coverage. It is easy to apply and it diffuses very easily, and it is long-lasting. If you have mixed skin, its coverage is the best for you, it hides all imperfections. It also has sunscreen and it leaves skin radiant, illuminated, and more rejuvenated.

5. And 6. Giorgio Armani

Next is Giorgio Armani ​Power Fabric Full Coverage Liquid Foundation​ and Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation. ​Their ​Power Fabric Full Coverage Liquid

Foundation​ has great coverage with a dewy sheen. Perfect when used over a primer. A little pricey but WORTH the cost. It doesn’t feel like you have any foundation on your face! It doesn’t oxidize, which will make you even like the foundation even more. Has a lovely skin-like finish and lasts all day even on combination/oily skin.

Their ​Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation​ ​is inspired by charmeuse silk, “The Fabric of Emperors,” this luminous foundation glides on weightlessly for a flawless lit-from-within glow. Yes, it is expensive but it is weightless and full coverage which is a crazy amazing combination that is why this is hands down absolutely worth the money.

7. And 8. Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury’s​ Magic Foundation ​and ​Airbrush Flawless ​are also awesome! ​Magic Foundation​ has a matte finish but not flat with full coverage, goes on lovely, blends well, and feels so lightweight on. Goes on smooth and doesn’t sit on top of pores. Their ​Airbrush Flawless​ smells amazing! 

Well the foundation itself is amazing, but I felt like I needed to emphasize the smell. lol. I love it that a little goes a long way for sure with the full coverage foundation! It does recommend letting it set to see true color but it’s beautiful and makes skin look flawless.

9. Rodan Fields Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid

This one is your skincare and your make up at the same time. Lol. It is light and buildable, oil-free, and doesn’t clog your pores. It’s a derma cosmetic so you will have properties that will help work on skin redness. Can’t get better than this for daily coverage. But as advised you should still wear a layer of SPF even though this liquid does have SPF.

If you are not up for this pricey foundation, I’ve got you, girl! You can also try these budget-friendly foundations!

10. Revlon color stay 24 hours

Revlon Colorstay 24 hours is one of the great drugstore foundations. It has a soft natural hydrating matte finish! If you have dry textured skin, this is so natural and lightweight. Oily to combo and dry to combo you’ll like it both. It just depends on your skin. When you used the oily if you have oily skin, you’ll love the matte finish, and if you have dry skin, you’ll love the hydrating matte finish even better.

11. Phoera foundation

This foundation is actually refreshingly good! It stays on all day, and it has really good coverage. The only issue I have is that when it dries down, it’s impossible to blend a stick or liquid contour, so you have to work fast. Overall, it’s a great product, especially if you’re on a budget!

12. Best Primer Ever!

Now let’s talk about primers. Some may not know why we should use primers, Primer​ basically fills in the pores, blurs our blemishes, and gives smoothness to the skin. Think of primer as a base which gives the makeup something to adhere to. It ​protects​ the skin by acting as a barrier and also helps makeup to last longer.

One of the primers that I use and love is ​Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer

Tatcha started when Victoria Tsai, the founder of Tatcha, while on a trip to Kyoto discovered a world of pure beauty, craftsmanship, and heritage, and an encounter with a modern-day geisha changed her life. An encounter that leads her to create Tatcha. She learned classical Japanese beauty secrets passed down by generations that took a different approach to skincare – that less is more.

Now, what makes this primer feel special from the get-go is that it comes with a small disk for application. My favorite thing about the primer is how big the payoff is for so little product application. Its ability to blur away pores is also immediate. I tried using it over a big blemish once, and although the primer didn’t completely conceal it, it definitely helped fade the redness. The same can be said for my sometimes dark eye circles—the primer helps dull them and brightens up my under eye area. It’s also so lightweight it barely feels like anything is on. 

I’d almost forget if it weren’t for every time I look in the mirror, I’m amazed by how bright and airbrushed my skin looks. It’s like the Paris filter comes to life.

After religiously applying The Silk Canvas Primer every day, I noticed that people started to compliment me even MORE and MORE on my “natural glow” and “perfect skin.” And though I’m lucky to have never had problematic skin, I’m always quick to point out the look isn’t completely natural and that primer really isn’t BS. Well, at least Tatcha’s isn’t.

I hope this list helped you up to find the right foundation that your skin will love. And remember that primer is important before applying foundation. lol.

Stay Beautiful and Fabulous girls!

The best hair products for 2020

by 154 Comments

Hair is a girl’s crowning glory. Who doesn’t love beautiful hair? All of us do, right? But sometimes we tend to neglect our hair’s health. Your hair’s texture is the most significant element in determining its personality. It’s the number one thing you should be thinking about when it comes to treating your strands, and more importantly, choosing the products you use on your hair every day.

So, here’s a list of brands and products I use for my hair and wanna share it with you. They are my absolute favourite products!

LEYLA MILANI

I love using Leyla Milani’s Miracle Brush, you can really say farewell to fly-aways for good! As they say about the product. This boar and nylon paddle brush is one of the best brushes for reducing static when you’re brushing your hair. So it is really effective in removing fly-aways from your hair. I also love using it together with their Volume boosting powder. This lightweight, yet powerful hair powder lifts and adds major volume to any hair type. This product doesn’t make your hair feel icky and does the job with the least amount of drawbacks! Such a cool formulation for the volumizing the hair! It gives your hair that boosts it needs. And while you’re at it, finish styling your hair with their Velvet blue scrunchies, well if you are fond of scrunchies that is. lol

ALTERNA

Alternia products are also a good buy for you. From shampoos to their live-in heat protection spray. Their everyday shampoo and everyday conditioner have a gentle formulation for your hair. They are gentle vegan moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that enhances shine, adds smoothness, and improves manageability. They are also formulated with Water Lily extract helps condition, boost gloss, and improve manageability for soft and supple hair. You may also want to try their Caviar Collection, it is a collection of hair care products that you’ll absolutely love. They have a wide range of products to address all hair concerns.

The Science of Ten Perfect Blend Shampoo by Alterna is also one of my favourites. It makes hair so smooth and you don’t have to worry about dead ends anymore with this shampoo. Girl I really recommend it! Plus it’s a unisex shampoo.

AVEDA – Heat Relief Thermal Protector & Conditioning Mist

This is a lovely, gentle heat protectant. I love that it has fewer harsh chemicals than other products, and I can tell it does protect from heat when I spray some on my hand and aim the blow dryer at my hand. This product not only protects when heat styling it also smells incredible and keeps your hair smooth. It is worth the price tag, you should try it too.

PUREOOLOGY 

I also love Strength Cure Blonde shampoo and Conditioner. Yes, you have read it right it’s a Blonde shampoo and conditioner. It cleanses, restores and tones highlighted or blonde colour-treated hair. It tones and fortifies brassy, damaged and lightened hair with key ingredients Keravis, Astaxanthin, and Purple Orchid toning pigments and a signature aromatherapy blend of Pear, Rose, and Sandalwood. Together with the conditioner that smoothens your hair, I could say that this stuff does such a great job, smells nice, & makes hair feel so good!

Their Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray is also a favourite of mine. It is a Multitasking leave-in treatment especially if you have colour-treated hair. The smell is amazing, and you don’t have to use a lot. Maybe 4 sprays of this stuff and your brush just glide through your hair. If you have long thick dyed naturally wavy hair put this product in after towel drying and you can really tell the difference. 

OLAPLEX

Another brand that you can trust is the Olaplex. Try their N°3 hair perfector, N°4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, N°5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, N°6 Bond Smoother, and N°7 Bonding Oil.

N°3 hair perfector restores hair’s healthy appearance and texture by repairing damage and protecting the hair structure. It makes hair smooth and soft. N°4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and N°5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is a combo life safer if you have frizz from breakage and have some dull dryness from colouring, it will leave your hair smooth, shiny & silky. Their N°6 Bond Smoother is leave-in reparative styling creme that protects all hair types including coloured and chemically treated hair. It strengthens, hydrates, moisturizes and speeds up blow-dry times while smoothing and eliminating frizz and flyaways for up to 72 hours. N°7 Bonding Oil does wonders on colour damaged, coarse and frizzy hair. It’s a small bottle, but you only need a few drops that you can mix into the bond smoother and your super dry ends will surely feel soft and moisturized for days!

ORIBE – Gold Lust Shampoo and COnditioner

Their Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner’s scent is amazing, the consistency is rich, it’s moisturizing, soothes your scalp, and rinses clean. Hard to judge if it actually makes hair stronger but I can say that the protein it contains is the good kind and that it won’t make your hair more brittle and broken like other restorative lines for fragile hair.

PHILIP B 

Philip B Forever Shine Conditioner is a very good conditioner for dry brittle hair. It has a distinctive warm spicy smell, which you might probably like. The one downside is that there are some small glittery particles, which can show on your forehead or stay on your hands after use–well maybe that’s one reason for the name it has. However, this isn’t a major issue considering it’s such an excellent conditioner.

BLONDME BY SCHWARZKOPF

BlondME by Schwarzkopf products are also a must-try. Their Schwarzkopf Blond Me Crystal Powder is an amazing lightening product. It takes dark brown hair to a cool blond. You just leave it on until your hair us the desired colour. It will not let your hair feel brittle or damaged afterwards. It also smells wonderful. There are still a lot of amazing products from them. Go check them out!

T3 

Who uses a hairdryer? Raise your hands! Well, almost every one of us does, right? lol. The T3 NM EXCLUSIVE CURA HAIRDRYER is such an amazing hair Dryer. It is worth every single penny! Other dryers make the ends of my hair look fried, but this one leaves hair so soft and so smooth! I actually feel like it’s improving the health of your hair. The airflow just seems so much better than other dryers. Go check them out! You’ll surely love it. You may also want to try their SinglePass 1″ Flat iron, shiny, smooth hair in one easy pass! It leaves hair feeling silky and smooth. It doesn’t take long to iron your entire hair and you won’t feel as if it is burning your hair. Also, a great iron to curl your hair with, and the curls come out amazing!

ANGEL HAIR MIST BY THIERRY MUGLER

This Hair Mist is a non-sticky, non-greasy light mist that infuses the hair with the signature fragrance of the iconic Angel perfume! It lasts beautifully throughout the day and night so you can wave your locks around the dancefloor & smell like a dream! lol. 

ORIBE – Dry Texturizing Spray

I absolutely LOVE this product! If your hair is bleached, dry, thin and it refuses to hold curl more than an hour or so this is a great buy for you.  you can use this before or after curling on dry hair and it helps so much! It definitely holds curls for hours and you’ll be able to have great volume as well. It’s also great for styling as it gives your hair some grab, so if you want to put it in an updo or French braid it really helps to use this.

LIVING PROOF – Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo

If you have an oily scalp, this shampoo works really well when you are not in mood to wash your hair. lol. It adds volume and legitimately gets rid of the oil. Leave it on for 5 minutes to bake before brushing it out, and the results are even better. I can’t recommend this enough. It may be a bit pricey for others, but it is definitely a good buy.

MOROCCANOIL – Dry Shampoo Light Tones

This is for all the blondes and it has a wonderful MoroccanOil smell. First and foremost, it’s formulated with Moroccan oil so instead of drying out the ends of your hair like a lot of dry shampoos can tend to do this actually softens them while absorbing the oils from your scalp. The light tones will not leave a white cast on most hair but definitely go for dark if you don’t have highlights at the root.

SLIP – Silk Pillowcase and Silk Sleep mask

Slip Silk Pillowcase is a standard queen-size pillowcase made of the highest grade mulberry silk for the ultimate beauty sleep. This pillowcase is perfection. It feels like your head is resting on a heavenly cloud every single night. It is the softest material you would have ever touched! also love the benefits, it is advertised as anti-aging, anti-sleep crease, and anti bedhead. It has certainly made a difference with my hair and that is why I include it on the list–you might have been wondering why a pillowcase suddenly appeared on the list. lol. Paired with my Slip Sleepmask, this feels really luxurious. The sleep mask is great at blocking out light and keeping my serums or eye creams where they need to be.

So there goes the list of my absolute favourite products. I hope this list will help you address some of your hair concerns especially now that we can’t easily go out and go to a hair salon to get our hair fixed. Have you tried some of this product? You can also share with me your favourite products and your experience with them! Stay healthy and fabulous loves!
