Shark Flexstyle Review

10/19/2023

I was never going to buy the $600 Dyson Airwrap. To be perfectly honest, I only considered the Shark FlexStyle when I saw that Chris Appleton was working with them. To me, that legitimized Shark as a beauty company. I was also motivated to buy the FlexStyle by my own personal hair frustration. I don’t...

Vegamour GRO Lash Serum Review

10/09/2023

Beginning in 2019, I started using Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum. It worked incredibly well for me.

Solawave Radiant Renewal Wand Review

07/24/2023

It’s become my personal mission to try every red light device out there. I’ve tried masks, handheld devices, I’ve laid in red light LED beds and now, I’m finally trying a red light therapy wand. When Solawave reached out to ask if I’d like to try their new Radiant Renewal Wand, it was an easy...
