Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray

By on May 1, 2012 in Beauty, Hair

 

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, $19.50 and $39

I always love stumbling across great little beauty finds and this Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray has to be the best hair product I’ve tried in months. It came as a result of my work with Birchbox (love them) for this little project, and I’ve been rather addicted since then. The spray delivers on just what it says it will: building texture and what girl doesn’t need that every now and then?

For those mornings you need to work your hair into a little updo or don’t feel like fully styling, this spray is perfect. I have the travel size and have been brining it on most of my trips this year to build bulk into my hair for easier styling while obtaining great volume and a better texture. I highly recommend this spray (it’s worth the heftier price tag). It’s also great when used in conjunction with my favorite dry shampoo.

{recent} beauty favorites

By on April 4, 2012 in Beauty, Hair, Skin care

 

Sharing some of my beauty favorites this week! These are 3 real winners.

// 1. Tocca Giulietta body wash, $18: My love affair with this scent started with their lotion and now I can’t get enough of the body wash. It’s subtle and feminine and just perfect.

// 2. Tresemme Split Remedy Leave-In treatment, $4: Two words: miracle worker.

// 3. Clinique Exfoliating Scrub, $18.50: I had been on the hunt for a good scrub for ages. It had to be just the right texture, but effective. This one fit the bill to a T.

best of {winter beauty}

By on December 28, 2011 in Beauty, Hair, Makeup, Skin care

 

Oftentimes when it comes to be Winter, I change up my beauty routine. I seek more moisture, festive colors and skin savers. Therefore I thought I’d round up some of my current (and most beloved) beauty products for this time of year. Especially if, like me, you’re hitting the stores this week for some post-Christmas shopping :)

1. Bliss fabulips lip balm, $16*

This new lip balm from a favorite of mine, Bliss, saturates in moisture and is just what I need to escape chapped lips. (Another Bliss favorite here.)

2. Benefit Hervana Blush, $28*

I have a major obsession with Benefit (examples here and here among many others) so was uber excited to get to try out their new blush Hervana. It is the perfect subtle glow that gives you the “I’ve just been outside and my cheeks got all rosy” look without having to actually bear the elements. (Also, very excited to try these when I get back to New York.)

3. butter LONDON ‘Chancer,’ $14*
butter LONDON nail lacquers are awesome and this is the perfect red for this season.

4. Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Garnet Desire, $20*
With my lips being a bit more dry during the winter, I tend to reach for glosses over lipsticks and the Pure Color ones by Estee Lauder not only smell fantastic, they give a sweep of instant color to punch up your look.

5. DDF Salicylic Wash, $38

Even though it’s cold out, my skin tends to flare up year round and I recently bought this wash to fight the oh so lovely acne popping up here and there. It’s mild yet powerful, hardly has any scent and is in a huge bottle that will last me months.

6. Estee Lauder Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher 1oz, $46*
My morning routine has consisted of using this pore minimizer as a little secret weapon. Combine it with your primer in your palm and you’ve got a perfect palette off of which to apply makeup.

7. TRESemme Dry Shampoo, $5

One word: lifesaver. My hair tends to get brittle at this time of year so I aim to wash it every other day. To get me by the in-between days, I rely on this super cheap dry shampoo.

What products or tricks get you through this time of year?
