My Favorite Hair Items in 2020

IMG_0109
IMG_0124

What a year 2020 has been! I have rounded up my favorite hair items that I have purchased this year and I will continue to purchase them into the new year. These products have transformed my hair and have finally given me confidence in my hair! Also- full disclosure, I bought a halo extension this year from Hidden Crown and wear it often. It is the best! I wear the color #60/8. Okay now back to my favorite hair products of 2020!

First, let's talk about shampoo. I use this shampoo for my blonde color and this shampoo for hair health. Both shampoos are by the brand, Kerastase, and they are incredible! Kerastase products have completely transformed my hair. The purple shampoo I use twice a week and it keeps my hair the blonde I like it to be! After shampooing, I use this conditioner and I credit it to my hair actually growing!

After washing, I apply this leave in heat protectant for blondes. I let my hair dry about 70% (sometimes I sleep on it wet), and then I apply a blow dry cream that leaves my hair so soft after blow drying. I can't recommend this cream enough! I apply a small amount on my hands and gently scrunch it through my hair. Then, I use my favorite hair dryer I have ever had. The Revlon styler is amazing, but you have to use it on hair that is almost air dried and you should use a heat protectant. It is very powerful and gets very hot. I have used it before on hair that is pretty wet and it made my hair a little frizzy. So, I have found it best to be used on almost dry hair! My hair dries very curly and when I use this I can blow it out completely straight! Best money spent.

Once my hair is blown out, I apply this oil just to the ends. This oil can also be applied to wet hair or to tame flyaways. I love it because it is lightweight so it doesn't weigh down my hair! It really helps give a smooth blown out look.

My last favorite hair find of 2020 has been this curling iron that is around $15 and on prime! It is the best! It's perfect for giving you light bouncy waves. I use this and just put a few curls throughout and it lasts for about two days before I wash! This curling iron is especially great for curling my extensions too.

And that's all for my hair related favorites from this year! What have been your favorite hair products this year?! Leave any recommendations below!

Favorite Perfumes with the Sephora Sale

Perfume

I love a good perfume. I notoriously buy the big perfume sets from Sephora where you get a voucher to trade in for a full size perfume basically every Sephora Sale! I keep a bag full of mini perfumes in my dresser in case I ever want to mix it up or mix scents together! One of my girlfriends taught me about mixing scents together and it is the best thing ever. So give me all the minis!

I love a lot of perfumes but I have two absolute favorites that I wear daily. I switch it up constantly so I like to have a bottle of both. Whenever I wear either of these perfumes, I get so many compliments and the smell lasts all day long!

Chanel COCO mademoiselle

If you ever want to invest in one scent, this is it. It is the best perfume ever, in my opinion! I originally discovered this perfume when my Mother in law was wearing it and noticed the smell lasted so long! The smell is very elegant and beautiful. Also, the packaging on it is stunning. One spray of this perfume goes a very long way so the bottle will last a long time! I highly recommend buying this perfume on sale as it is a huge splurge. It would be a great Mother's Day gift!

dolce&gabbana dolce garden

This perfume. Oh my gosh. The smell is sweet, floral, and just beautiful! It is a scent I can never get tired of. I used to wear Light Blue, and received this as a sample from Sephora. I immediately switched over from Light Blue to this. It's so beautiful and girly and the sweet smell to it makes it even better. I think once you smell this you will love it! The scent is also very long lasting.

Other favorites i have tried

Perfume can be pricey so I think the best time to buy it is during a sale. It also makes a wonderful gift. All of the perfumes that I have linked smell so good and are long lasting!

What to shop for?

I love love love when Sephora has sales. They only happen a few times a year so I specifically wait to buy larger products or something I have been wanting to experiment with during these sales. Since we are all during this time, it would be a great idea to ramp up your skin care routine! We have the time so why not?! I have been trying a few new skincare items that will be included in the sale and they are GOOD (and affordable)! I will share these in a little.

I am going to share what is in my makeup bag that I use everyday and that I truly love. I will also share some items I am hoping to get and try because I have had my eye on them.

First up, Skincare

For the last two weeks I have started using the Tatcha Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanser and the Water Cream. These make my skin feel incredible. I use them each morning! I bought the mini sizes to see if I liked them and I love them.

I have also started using The Ordinary "No-Brainer" set. I actually only use two of the products right now (one I can't use because I am breastfeeding), but I am obsessed with the way they make my skin feel. I can see a significant difference in my skin. It looks brighter and more even tone- which is huge for me because I have awful acne scars. This set is only $29 and it is amazing. I can't wait to try more from this brand!

Next, what is in my make-up bag that i love

Okay all of the products I am going to share now are products I use every single day. I can do my makeup in less than 15 minutes now and on the floor anywhere in my house (wherever I am with Andrew) thanks to these holy grail products.

Foundation- I am obsessed with this Hourglass foundation stick. It goes on so easily and blends perfectly with a damp beauty blender. I love the texture and the coverage it gives my skin. It also feels SO lightweight on my face! I wear the color Linen.

Color Corrector- This is not something that is necessary in your make-up routine but I really need it. It is a color corrector that helps take away dark under eye circles. I apply a little of this under my eyes and use a damp beauty blender to blend it all in. Then, I apply my concealer. It is amazing. I can tell a difference if I don't use it! I wear the color fair.

Concealer- I must be on an Hourglass kick becauses I am also equally obsessed with the concealer! This stuff does the WORK you want a concealer to do. I have dark circles with my crazy sleep schedule now and this covers them so well. A little goes a lonnnnng way. I think this bottle will last me such a long time. I wear the color Birch.

Blush- I mentioned this a previous blog post, but this Nars Liquid Blush in the color Orgasm is so so beautiful. Don't be scared about it being liquid. It is so easy to dab into your skin and it blends beautifully. A little goes a very long way!

Bronzer & Highlighter- I have used this kit for months (I bought it during the Sephora sale in the fall) and I love it! It has beautiful colors for bronzer that blend so well and has the best highlighter ever. The highlighter can also be used for the inner corner of your eyes for a pop! I can't recommend this palette enough! It is a splurge but to buy during a sale is the best time. It does come in a mini, but the mini doesn't have the highlighter color that I love. You want the highlighter Cookie, which you can buy individually if you don't want the set.

Brows- I get so many questions about my brows and I have to tell you they are truly a mess without this product. I have used the Anastasia Brow Wiz in the color Taupe for years. I stock up when it is on sale. Nothing compares.

Lipstick- I have talked about this lipstick so many times and I am sure you hear everyone talking about! It is the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in the color Kim KW. It is the best nude color ever. Again with this product, a little goes a long way!  I will be repurchasing during the sale because I have finally used up one whole stick! It is the only lipstick I ever use.

Perfume- This is a wonderful time to buy perfume. You usually cannot get these perfumes on sale any other time! I have two that I wear and love. I switch it up daily but love both so much. First, I love the Coco Chanel Mademoiselle. The smell is just beautiful and you only need one spray to last you the day. Next, I love Dolce and Gabbana in Dolce Garden. This scent is sweet and floral. Whenever I wear this I get so many compliments. It's so pretty!!

PRODUCTS I WANT TO TRY

I won't talk about any of these products because I personally have not tried them. I have heard and read great things about them and they have been on my brain! Let me know if you like to use any of them 🙂

Spring Beauty Faves

IMG_0524

With a new season comes change and that means a change for my make up bag! I have tried a few new products that I am really loving and am so excited to share them.

Face

I started using a new powder for my face because it was on sale at Ulta and I am so happy I did! It is a pressed powder which means it is less of a mess (I need this because when I do my make up I am typically on the floor next to Andrew while he plays). It works to well and lasts throughout the day. It is by MAC, and I use it under my eyes to set my concealer with a beauty blender sponge. Then, I use a fluffy face brush and rub it all over my face before I apply bronzer and blush. I use the color Light.

Blush

I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Courtney Shields, using this blush and I had to try it! This is a liquid blush so I was super nervous to try it at first. After using it for a few days I began to get the hang of it. It leaves the most beautiful color with a little bit of glimmer. I pump a tiny amount on my finger and then pat it lightly on the apples of my cheek. I do this until it is all blended! A little goes a long way! I wear the color Orgasm.

Lip Liner and Lipstick

I am soo very excited about this combination. I have using this lipstick by Charlotte Tilbury forever- I think almost a year now. The color is my favorite and I love the texture. I wear the color Kim KW. It is worth every penny. I have had the same one forever! It's about time for me to buy a new one. Okay this liner I heard about from my all time favorite blogger Emily Gemma. The liner is KKW Beauty in the color Nude 2.5. It is almost a brownish nude. It is SO GOOD! This with the Kim KW lipstick blends so well and gives your lips a full look.

Eyeshadow

Finally, I want to share my new favorite eye palette. I am OBSESSED with this palette. The colors are so creamy and gorgeous on. There is very little fallout within the palette and the colors last all day. I love to mix matte colors with shimmers and this palette is perfect for it. I should also mention that usually I feel like shimmery colors in palettes don't last very long or don't look as pigmented on, but these actually DO! They are soo beautiful. I want everyone to get this palette. Too faced products are so so good and they are fair priced for what you get. This has been a go to for me each day when getting ready.

Shop any of the items above! What products are you guys using right now and loving? This is a great time to play around with new products! I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay healthy and safe.

Covering My Dark Under Eye Circles

IMG_7185
IMG_7165

I have been searching high and low for the  best products to help me mask my dark under eye circles! Towards the last few weeks of pregnancy, I was not sleeping well and my face certainly showed that! I knew that once Andrew arrived I would be even more tired and needed to find some new products for my under eyes.

The first thing I tried was the Tula rose glow under eye balm and let me tell you- it is worth every penny! I start off each day by washing my face, moisturizing, and then dab this under my eyes. I love the glow and fresh feel it gives.

Now onto makeup. Once my face is prepped and primed I apply my foundation (tip- do not apply foundation heavily around your eyes, it can dry out that area and show fine lines). Then, I use a brush and apply the Charlotte Tilbury color corrector in the color, Fair. This is  a game changer!! I apply it to the darkest part of my under eyes with a brush and then use a damp beauty blender to blend it all in. After that, I use this concealer. It has been my favorite lately because it is not drying or cakey. I then use a damp beauty blender to blend it all in. For the final step, I use this setting powder under my eyes. I apply it with the opposite side of the beauty blender and let it sit for a few seconds. Finally, I use a brush to blend it in.

After these simple steps, my face feels fresh and awake!! It is all very long lasting and requires no touch ups throughout the day- which I need! I hope this helps! All products are linked below.

Jess 🙂
