Festival Beauty Products

08/04/2018

I’ve talked about music festivals on this beauty blog before but it’s been a while. I really enjoy music in a live, festival-manner and I’ll be attending 1 day of Lollapalooza this weekend so I thought I’d share what I’m bringing with.

Best Ulta Beauty Products

08/02/2018

We tend to have low expectations of house brands. It makes sense. The packaging isn’t as fancy, the fonts are kinda weird and they may not smell quite the same.

As you might imagine, I have an excessive amount of beauty products. Something you may not have guessed, but would quickly find out if you asked my husband, is that I am…not tidy.

The Best Dandruff Shampoo

07/10/2018

I’ve always been super upfront about my myriad of embarrassing issues. Dandruff is one of them. You can see evidence of the devil’s work dandruff in a lot of my videos and it’s just not really adding to my already low hair score. I’ve struggled to find a dandruff shampoo that works, but that is...
