Product Reviews

Several years ago I compared professional hair products to drugstore brands, and I just wrote a post about pro and generic makeup brands. I don’t write a lot about skincare, but I couldn’t leave it out of the product comparisons series!

Just as I mentioned in the makeup brands post- I haven’t always […]

A few months ago I started taking Sugarbearhair vitamins because I injured my thumbnail and I knew the vitamins would help it grow back faster. I knew they would help my skin and nails, but I wasn’t really thinking about what hair vitamins would […]

I first saw Pony-O Hair Accessories in an advertisement on Instagram. Of course, I clicked on it! I don’t usually pay attention to ads, but I was very intrigued. I didn’t think I’d actually end up ordering the product, but I did! So here’s my review of Pony-O Hair Accessories…and I didn’t get paid for […]

Waterproof makeup is hard to find, and that’s probably because there’s no reason why anyone should be wearing makeup to the pool or beach.

There are a lot more options these days, but some of them are pricey!

I suggest using waterproof makeup only when you really need it, and your usual makeup products for […]

Most people think of wax warmers and nightlights when they hear about Scentsy. Scentsy beauty products make great gifts and are perfect for pampering yourself!

If you’re looking for skin care that does more than just moisturize, then you’ll love these products.

They have so much more than skin care products, […]

Are you looking for the best hairsprays?
