November 2016 Favorites

Am I the only one who feels like panicking right now? We only have one month left to go! One more month before 2016 officially comes to an end. While part of me is relieved that this year is almost over, the other part of me is completely shocked by how fast this year went by. Before I know it I'm going to be turning 27, I'll have to deal with all the crazy holiday shoppers, and then just like that it'll be Christmas. But before we start all the holiday related videos, I want to reflect back on my favorite products of November. This past month I gravitated towards products that really simplified my morning routine, which I desperately needed since I'm not a morning person whatsoever.

Birchbox September 2016

Happy Anniversary, Birchbox! The company is celebrating their 6th year helping women and men discover new brands and products. To celebrate their anniversary, Birchbox teamed up with Milk Makeup (my fave brand at the moment) to give each subscriber one Milk Makeup product. You can only imagine how happy I was about this! Not only did they team up with one of my favorite brands, but Birchbox decided to throw in some very generous sized samples in this month's box. I know I've said this before, but I think this may be the best Birchbox I've ever gotten. I'm not even kidding, it was GOOD!

My Curly Hair Routine

Much like my skincare and everyday makeup routine, my hair routine is quite simple and minimal. I really don't like fussing with my hair, so all I do is add product and let it air dry. Despite that and having a hair routine video that I filmed last year, people still kept asking for another hair routine video. In this post I'll be showing you my updated hair routine using my favorite hair products for curly hair. This routine will work on any type of naturally curly hair, as well as wavy hair.

Birchbox March 2016

The March Birchbox is here! This time around I didn't even get to choose any of the samples or the curated box because everything sold out super quickly. Not going to lie, I was a little bummed out that I wasn't able to pick one of the 4 luxe hair samples but maybe that worked in my advantage. This month's box has to be the best Birchbox I've received to date! Not only is the box itself absolutely adorable, but I was super content with the six samples I received. Yes, I got six instead of the usual five.

Top 15 of 2015

Last year was an amazing year for both myself and the beauty world! 2015 was the year of highlight on fleek, contouring the crap out of your face, matte lipsticks, and messy hair. I tried out and purchased many products throughout 2015, but in today's post you're going to hear about the best of the best (well, according to me). These are the products that I would reach for the most, and some which I repurchased several times. All of these products have been mentioned in previous monthly favorites, but they're so good that they deserve yet another shoutout.

Luxury Products Worth the Splurge

For the longest time, luxury products were uncharted territory for me. Slowly but surely I've dabbled into more pricey items and let me tell you, there's something about them that make me feel like a million bucks. While luxury products aren't a necessity, you get a very high quality product and something that looks absolutely stunning when displayed. In my latest video I'm going to be sharing my all-time favorite luxury products that are definitely worth the splurge. I have a hair product, skincare product, fragrances, a brush, and some makeup bits. The video was in collaboration with two of my greatest YouTube friends, Jonathan Curtis and Will Cook. If you want to hear about even more luxury products that are worth the splurge, then don't forget to check out their videos.

November 2015 Favorites

This month's favorites is a bit different to my others because I feel like it has the most variety. There's  everything from makeup products to documentaries that I enjoyed watching. Yes, this is certainly not your standard favorites video. After last month's skincare and hair testing disasters I found some amazing gems that managed to save both my skin and hair. If you have frizzy curly/wavy hair, then you will really want to pay attention. Also, a thing that I completely forgot to mention in the video is that in the month of December I plan to record 3-4 videos per week! Consider it my version of Vlogmas.

July 2015 Favorites

July has come and gone! And in a week I'll be boarding a plane to San Francisco so I can attend the Outside Lands festival for a third year in a row! I'm super excited about my trip because it's been a whole year since my last one (which is sad to think about since I love traveling). But before I start packing my bags I need to show you the things I consistently used in the month of July. As always there's a good variety of things in my favorites videos. This month I discovered #highlightonfleek, affordable liquid lipsticks, and dumped my aluminum deodorants in the trash can.

Living Proof Curl Line Review

Ever since I started using the Living Proof products for curly hair, I've been getting so many compliments in real life and on video. Whenever the change is noticeable in video, then you know that these products have worked some magic on my hair. I've been using all of these products for over two months, so by now I'm extremely familiar with each and every product. These are definitely not your conventional hair products- there's no lathering shampoo, no conditioner, and definitely no sulfates or silicones. The Living Proof products will define, condition, and extend the life of your curly hair. If you're curious to know more about the Living Proof curl range, then please make sure to watch my complete review.
