Luxury Haircare

So I'm the kind of girl that refuses to spend money on shampoo and conditioner. I mean, I use it up so quickly so why spend $30 a bottle when I can spend $5? Herbal Essences is my life. My grandparents are visiting and for some reason they brought me some travel L'Occitane shampoo and conditioner. Not that I'm complaining but wow okay.

I'm now spoiled. I don't really know how to explain how beautiful these products are. They're the Aromachologie Shampoo and Conditioner and these little 2.5 fl oz bottles retail for $7 each. They contain 5 essential oils, Angelica, Lavender, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang, and Patchouli. The oils mean that they don't feel like your typical creamy shampoo and conditioner, they're instead a bit thinner but I actually find that I need to use less product. They make my hair feel squeaky clean and very "fluffy" although my only complaint is that they take away the volume at the root of my hair the first day. Otherwise, my hair feels beautiful and I reallllly don't want to run out. Because I'm not sure I want to pay for them myself hehe.

What luxury haircare product would you like to try?

The Summer Foundation Combo

Summer is the prime time of the year for glowing skin. It's also prime time for sweaty skin, so I find it's best to use a matte foundation and then use powders to amp up the glow. I'm also a firm believer in foundation mixing because it gives you infinite formulas! I've recently been mixing the Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet in 12 Beige Rose with Maybelline's Fit Me! Matte + Poreless in Porcelain. The Fit Me! isn't really matte, they're both sort of satiny finished, but combined they make for a flawless, natural looking base that doesn't slip and slide around my face in the heat. They're also perfect together because they yellowy tone of the Fit Me! takes away from the pink tone that the lighter Chanel foundations always have. And wallah! A new foundation and you didn't have to spend any more money!

On the real, I actually have another foundation I just bought to talk to you guys about because I love it, but get mixing and see what you can create!

A New Home For the Brushes

I don't know if you guys remember, but a few months ago I spray painted the three glass jars I kept my brushes in gold. Because I LOVE gold. Like I really want a chrome gold phone case. Anyway, I did like those but you could definitely tell that it was hand painted and it wasn't quite the right shade of gold and frankly I was getting sick of those damn jars. A looooooong time ago this Nate Berkus desk organizer was on sale at Target and I resisted. Since then, every time I go into Target (frequently) I go and stare at it. Last night I bought it. Honestly, I don't know why it took me so long because it was $15 and it's beautiful and very high quality. Obviously I have a TON of brushes and I kind of just squished them all in there but I kind of like it.

Now I need to resist the rest of the line because it's beautiful
