Stay Put! My favorite hairsprays

I get a lot of people asking me... "How do you curl you hair" and "how do you get it to last" and the obvious answer is hairspray. My boyfriend jokes around that I personally contributed to the green house effect. Thanks doll. 

I love hairspray, like lurve it. My hair wouldn't look the same without it, I use it everyday. I'm in a relationship with it. Here are my faves: 

1. Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Salt Spray- the most non hairspray of the bunch however it gives your hair that grit it needs to keep a curl and if you want that I just rolled around in the sand Victoria's Secret hair, this is your product. Use sparingly! It's very drying and your hair is literally salty. 

2. Aussie Volume: this is the lightest hold, but it certainly does its job. I like it to use on my roots to give a lift. It gets too crunchy on the ends. Smells like grape seed oil, yum! 

3. Garnier Fructis Volumizing Anti-humidity extra strong hairspray- THE HOLY GRAIL. Ever since I discovered this stuff I have kept a back stock under my sink just in case. This spray is perfection. You can spray and spray and your hair is still finger through it soft but it holds like no other. Not to mention my hair always gets compliments on its smell whenever I use this... Which is everyday. *hairflip* 

If you want a good hairspray run to Targèt and get some. 

4. Kenra Volume Spray- the no messing around hairspray. I use this on my bangs and they don't move. It's super hold hairspray meant for special occasions and up do's. I used it for my besty Alisha's wedding and her thick curls stayed all day and night! 

Thanks for reading, xoxo

August Birchbox

It's always a good day when my Birchbox arrives, basically it feels like Christmas. Birchbox is a monthly subscription beauty box. Products in the box include beauty, hair, body and sometimes accessories. On their website you fill out a profile with your favorites and eye color, skin tone range and a couple other questions. It's wonderful for sample junkies like me looking for the latest and greatest for only $10 per month! 

The August box did not disappoint, I think I'm going to use every single product so I'm a happy girl. 

1. Fresh Feet Wipes- Jasmine Seven

Kind of a weird product but you never know when you'll need it. These wipes would be good if you were going to an overnight music festival, or just to keep in your handbag for emergencies.

2. Classic formula Tan Towel- TanTowel

Very excited about this! Kelly Ripa uses them, and she always has a great tan. Here's to hoping. It's like a baby wipe with self tanner for your face and body. Bonus: it exfoliates an moisturizes. 

3. Premium BB Cream SPF 45+ Dr. Jart 

I haven't delved to deep into the ABC creams because I like full coverage foundation but I have heard good things about this product. When I tested it on my hand it had an odd undertone but I think that is to counteract redness or under eye circles. Ill keep you posted! 

4. Party Proof Lipstick- ModelCo

Lipstickkkkkk!! My favorite thing. I received the shade Disco Fever and it is coral, like really coral. I'm going to love it. I swatched it on my hand and its a creamy, hydrating formula. Don't let the matte texture fool you. 

5. Super Comb Prep & Protect- Number 4

This stuff smells amazing. And it made my hair super soft and easy to style. It's a leave in conditioner that provides color protection and UV protection.  

Hope you enjoyed my August box as much as I am going to and already have.
