Pucker Up Buttercup! Time to put your best face forward this holiday season with Neutrogena! Holiday parties are around the corner (heck some are this week), so we all know what that means…time to get your Holiday makeup on point so you can shine like the star on the top of the Christmas tree 😉 (like what I did there hehe :p)

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is the fact that I can get dressed up for all of these different festive gatherings! Whether it’s a work party, a family get-together or a gift exchange with your friends, makeup really pulls your holiday look together. I have always been a fan of mixing high end with low end (price wise) when it comes to fashion, so it comes as no surprise that I would do the same when it comes to beauty. Neutrogena has been my go to brand for lip products for years now, so when I got to test out the new Neutrogena® MoistureSmooth Color Stick + Neutrogena® Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes from Walmart, I was BEYOND excited!

Walmart is always one of my first stops when it comes to snagging the best deals when it comes to beauty. I work late during the week, so I LOVE heading to Walmart during the busy holiday season because they have extended hours which make last minute shopping really convenient.

Their cosmetics aisle is pretty much my favorite place…I can spend a long time in that aisle, let me tell ya :p

I have always loved the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes. After a long day at the office or a night out, nothing feels more refreshing than wiping off your makeup with one of these towelettes that is great for all skin types! I have struggled with acne + oily skin for years, that’s why Neutrogena was always my go-to as recommended by my numerous Dermatologists.

Now to PUCKER Up! One key part of any holiday look is a chic lip. Whether you are a bold kinda gal or a bit more neutral / subtle like me, Neutrogena MouistureSmooth Color Sticks have the perfect shade for you.

Now…Let’s get down to business!

1.The best way to create your holiday makeup look is by starting with a vision. Check out Instagram + Youtube to get inspo from some of your fav beauty gurus / brands (I always look to others for inspiration).

2.Pick your shade! Neutrogena MouistureSmooth Color Sticks come in 16 fun shades. From nude hues to deep reds, no matter what your holiday look is, Neutrogena has the perfect color to match.

3.Pucker Up + Apply your preferred shade of Neutrogena MouistureSmooth Color Stick (I personally used Soft Raspberry – 60 for this look since I wanted a hint of bright pink to brighten up my look).

4.Stock up! With 16 different shade options at an affordable price from Walmart, it is only expected to stock up on all of the shades you love (hey you can switch your lip color from party to party :p). With that said, one of my other favorite shades is Pink Nude – 100.

5.Wipe it off! Even if I get back late from my holiday festivities, I always remember how important it is to wash my face + fully remove all of my makeup, dirt + oil before heading to bed to prevent breakouts. Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes do just the trick 😉

A Great Day For A Good Hair Day…

August 28, 2015

13 Comments

Isn’t the best feeling in the world when you are having a good hair day…you know, when your hair has the perfect amount of volume, bounce + shine and is actually able to last the whole day? Yea…well thanks to Amika hair care and pro tools…that day is everyday! I am always game for trying new products, especially if they promise me fab hair in under an hour that actually lasts all day (yup then you have me sold).

Shop White Cold Shoulder Tops

Amika sent me some awesome products that I am for sure in love with (heck the Perk Up dry shampoo they sent me I already ran out of because I am that obsessed with it :p). They actually sent me the perfect after product to dry shampoo…Dry Conditioner! This is the first time I ever heard of it but I totally love it and it smells delicious (is sniffing my hair periodically throughout the day awkward? haha) These products are perfect for me because I try not to wash my hair everyday A) So it prevents my hair from getting to flat + B) Because it’s actually not good to wash your hair everyday (I learned this back when I was a receptionist at a hair salon on Long Island during my college years).

When I use dry shampoo + dry conditioner a day after washing my hair, it gives my hair a little texture, making it ideal for when I want to curl my hair…which brings me to the next amazing Amika product I tested out, the Amika Switch Kit which comes with this awesome interchangeable curling wand that you can swap out the heads for a curling iron whenever you feel like…all the parts match with the swivel base and it is super easy to put together + take apart.

It actually took me a while (and my roommate’s help) to teach me how to use a curling wand haha I have always been traditionally a curling iron kind of gal for fear of burning my fingers, but it is actually pretty easy to do and quick once you get the hang of it. So it’s awesome that whichever way you are most comfortable, Amika provides an option most suiting for you and your hair!So I had to share this little outtake from this shoot…Ali told me to make a funny face, well here it is haha #LongHairDontCare duh 😉

Now after the curling process comes what you need to finish off the look and have your hairstyle hold all day…Amika’s Touchable Hairspray! It has great hold without that ‘~~crunchy,stiff~~‘ feeling some hair sprays give you.

My Everyday Hair Care Routine…

February 26, 2015

10 Comments

1. Moroccan Oil Treatment // Eva-NYC ‘Mane Tamer’ :: 2. Wet Brush :: 3. Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo :: 4. Hot Tools Curling Iron :: 5. Moroccan Oil Hairspray

After Tuesday’s post, I received a few questions on how I get the curls in my hair A) To stay in this harsh winter weather + B) How I get them in my hair period + What products do I use. Well I’m sharing my secret, which isn’t much of a secret at all…I am a low maintenance kind of girl (only when it comes to my hair and makeup of course) so the less work I have to do the better 😉 Here’s my easy product guide to getting loose curls to stay in the dead of winter!

1. Moroccan Oil OR Eva-NYC ‘Mane Tamer’ :: If I plan on blowing out my hair and need to de-frizz I use Moroccan Oil…it smells delicious, makes hair more manageable and is light weight. If I want to let my hair air dry (which is most of the time nowadays…who knew the whole constant straightening in high school would lead me to never wanting to do extra work on my hair ever again lol) I use Eva-NYC’s ‘Mane Tamer’…once again, smells delicious but this is a cream and definitely should be used only if you allow your hair to air dry because it may weigh your hair down or make it slightly oily if you are prone to oily hair.

2. The Wet Brush :: This brush is my savior….like literally the best brush I have every owned. Here is a fun fact about me…before beginning my career in NYC, while I was in college I was a receptionist at a hair salon on Long Island. I tried out tons of hair styling tools, products and processes, and that’s where I discovered a few of my favorite items…including the Wet Brush. I keep one in the shower to brush through my hair after I shampoo + condition and I keep one in my room to brush through my hair once again after using Eva-NYC or Moroccan Oil.

3. Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo :: I LIVE by this product, I have yet to find a dry shampoo I love as much as this one. I buy it in bulk (I’m talking like 6 cans at a time) and I have one with me no matter where I go. Every morning I spray some in my hair. Typically I was and let my hair air dry the night before I plan on curling it this way my hair has a little oil to make it easier to hold a curl (beauty school 101 minus the beauty school haha). Before I curl my hair I always spray this dry shampoo because it adds a little extra volume and it’s easier the curls to hold a grip.

4. Hot Tools Gold Plated Curling Iron :: After going through hot rollers, regular rollers, round brushes and straightening irons, the best kept secret to getting great curls that hold? The ever so popular Hot Tools Gold Plated Curling Iron…I own 3 (you know for when I travel etc haha or in case one breaks and I have a hair emergency). It’s easy to use, great quality and gets the job done…takes me about 15-20 minutes to curl my whole head of hair.

5. Moroccan Oil Hairspray :: This hairspray is amazing…it smells great, adds shine and is lightweight…finally a hairspray that gives you the hold your curls need without the crunchy texture no one ever wants…#Obsessed #Savior #IHashtagWayTooMuch :p
