    Laced Hair Extensions Review + Tutorial…

    Happy Friday Ya’ll!

    I am BEYOND excited about today’s post because it features my first ever video from my YouTube channel. I have been wanting to create fun video content for a while now + finally took the plunge. This may be a short one but plenty more exciting ones to come!

    ICYMI I have been OBSESSED with Keratin Hair Extensions for over a year now. My hair stylist got me hooked a year ago + I couldn’t imagine life without them ever since. A little back story, I have naturally fine, straight hair…making it nearly impossible for my hair to hold a curl even with a full can of extra hold hairspray (no joke :p it is that bad). Hair extensions have been my saving grace, allowing me to have my hair finally hold a curl + look flawless for events, outfit shoots + beyond.

    Now not all hair extensions are created equal. I first dabbled with clip ins a while back + honestly I couldn’t handle them haha I had the toughest time putting them in (after countless attempts) + they gave me headaches + hurt my scalp. After complaining to my stylist of how uncoordinated I was when it came to using clip ins, she suggested I try the ‘Bentley‘ of hair extensions as she put it, Keratin Hair Extensions. I mean if she compared them to a Bentley she had me in – hook, line + sinker!

    Clip ins are great for those who are beauty savvy in my opinion + like to constantly switch up their look. I was looking for a permanent solution to my fine hair + keratin extensions provided that.

    It’s important to find a great stylist with experience installing these kinds of extensions. They must match your color so they look as natural as possible + also cut and style them to fit with your hair. Your stylist will also place them strategically so they are hidden as much as possible to keep them looking natural. I often have people not even notice I have them.

    The process itself is pain free + easy. Your stylist uses a tool to melt the bond around your hair + over time the bond deteriorates from wash and daily wear so it falls out after 4-6 months. The duration the extensions last is dependent on how you take care of them + how fast your hair grows out. Mine typically last 5-6 months sometimes longer if I only wash my hair 3-4 times a week + brush my hair often to avoid knots + tangles.

    I personally love Laced Hair because the hair is great quality + the bond melts nicely making them flush with my hair. They also are available in a ton of colors to match your natural hair color.

    The keratin extensions allow for everyday wear + are low maintenance since they only need to be replaced 3-4 times a year. They can be pricey dependent on your stylist so just be prepared to invest a bit. I always say invest in your hair, it’s the crown you wear daily hehe :p

    Buxom Beauty

    Happy Monday Babes ♥

    I am always on the hunt for the perfect lipgloss (I am such a lippie addict – lipstick has always intimidated me, plus I have thin lips + am not a huge fan of the whole lining my lips then coloring them in with lipstick process :p) BUT one lip product I can always get behind is a great lipgloss! One brand I have been a fan of for years when it comes to amazing lip products is Buxom Cosmetics. From their unique kits that have everything you need to ‘pucker up’ to individual glosses that my purse is currently filled with…they have great shades, at a fair prize, that are amazing quality – win/win!

    So I know this isn’t the main focus of a beauty review but I have to say I absolutely LOVE their packaging! Their glosses are sleek, chic + a great size to fit in any of my going out bags. My personal favorites are their lip polishes that come in over 90 colors (without a doubt you can find a color that matches your mood or look)!

    They go on smooth + last me all day (and night) so I don’t have to worry about doing multiple touch ups throughout the day. They come in shimmer + metallic finishes and while they look great, they also keep your lips hydrated (my biggest struggle is dry lips because of my skincare regimen to combat acne – my skin gets dry quite often + that sometimes extends to my lips).

    My second favorite gloss? The Buxom Full On Lip Cream! It applies smooth, the color is rich + long lasting AND it comes in 20 different shades. My favorite part? It feels like butter on your lips! Who doesn’t love that?!

    This gloss has no shimmer BUT it helps plump your lips (no fillers required haha :p)

     Happy Wednesday Loves ♥

    I don’t know about you but with another birthday just around the corner and another year older, something I am fully committed to this year is taking care of my skin + making sure I am using the right products to do so. Let me give you some back story, I have been going to my favorite facial lady for almost a year now (if you are LA based it’s Beauty Mermaid Skin Spa in Pasadena) and every time I went, she would use these great smelling + feeling products throughout the treatment that I became obsessed with! I finally began examining everything she was using and discovered it was THALAC. I began researching + discovered all of the amazing products THALAC has + they come straight from France…only the best for my skin (that’s my new motto haha).

    Being a blogger I have received countless mailers from skincare brands with tons of new products every week. While I love trying the newest + latest from all different brands, I tend to stick with what I love + know, so when it came to trying out THALAC I was excited to try out the whole line since I already knew I was a fan from using the products during my facials.

    The THALAC line is filled with all good things for your skin…minerals + key ingredients extracted from algae make all of the products perfect for combatting any skin issue. Whether it is keeping your skin looking young, combatting acne or combination skin or adding extra hydration for dry skin, THALAC has products that are perfect for all types of skin.

    While when I think ‘skincare‘ I automatically think about facial products, THALAC has products for the body as well. I have been struggling with acne on my chest + back and the exfoliation products have done just the trick!

    My favorite face products from THALAC are their Marine Tonic Lotion + Fluid Cleansing Emulsion. These two products go hand in hand, making them the perfect cleansing duo for morning + night. I swapped out my go-to La Roche Posay with these babies + my skin is GLOWING. What I love most about these products is that they actually make your skin FEEL fresh. I find this to be the one thing I love most about all of THALAC’s products because with so many products on the market, the ones I tend to gravitate towards are the ones that I can feel immediate results from!

     P U C K E R UP ♥ There is nothing I love more than some great beauty buys that are amazing quality without breaking the bank. Part of blogging is testing various products out + in my mind, the challenge is always ‘Would I use this instead of the products I have become accustomed to in my everyday routine?’ Today’s verdict…YES! I have been a fan of Milani Cosmetics for a while but when their new Amore Mattes Lip Creme came out, I knew I had to give it a go because any lip products that glide on perfectly + last all day are exactly what I am looking for!

    The colors are so pigmented + these shades in particular have a bit of shine to them since they were some of their metallic hues!

    These shades are perfect for work, play, date night, happy hour + beyond. They are moisturizing so they don’t dry your lips out + the color lasts all day despite not being a ‘liquid lipstick‘ which still seems to be such a trend lately (honestly liquid lipstick freaks me out since it has a difficult time coming off + dries out my lips haha :p).

    While I am currently crushing on these lip glosses from Milani, they still have a variety of products I love to use as well…see my picks below!

    Eva Hair NYC Clean It Up Shampoo | Eva Hair NYC Soften Conditioner | Wet Brush

     *Thank you Eva NYC for sponsoring this post*

    Happy Monday ya’ll! My weekend was a whirl wind. I was in Palm Springs for Coachella parties and needed some serious R&R today (meaning I spent the day cooped up in bed ugh). The weekend in the desert was hot, hot, hot which resulted in me wearing my hair natural for a few days…the best products for this? Eva NYC of course! Check out my process for rocking natural hair with this affordable line of products available in jumbo size at Costco + regular size at Ulta + Amazon.

    The key to rocking your natural hair is using the right products that keep it soft, moisturized + reduce frizz in all climates (like super hot palm springs). I have been using Eva Hair NYC for a while now, my signature go to is their leave in conditioner called their ‘Mane Tamer‘. After I wash my hair with the Eva NYC Clean It Up Shampoo + Eva NYC Soften Up Conditioner I brush my hair with a wet brush (perfect for gently getting out any knots in your hair) and then I run a quarter size amount of Mane Tamer to the ends of my hair to keep my hair soft and shiny as it air drys.

    If you are all about great deals like me, you will want to stock up on the Eva NYC products at Costco. I tend to go through hair products quickly (especially these since I absolutely love wearing my hair natural now-a-days).

    You can order the Eva NYC large sizes online at Costco.com to get $2 off your purchase (who doesn’t love a great coupon?!)

    I am also linking to some more of my favorites from Eva NYC below (like their Dry Shampoo + Hungry Hair Oil…both essential for leaving in overnight + waking up with gorgeous hair)!
