New Hair Products

I was in my local beauty supply store looking for curl creams to try out and came across these new products by Cantu. I already use the Leave In Conditioner and love it. I purchased the Hair Lotion and Curl Custard. I've already tried the Hair Lotion and so far I like it. It smells amazing and my hair is soft and feels moisturized. I will check back to let you guys know how the Curl Custard is and how both products are together.

August Monthly Beauty Boxes

A year ago, I saw my best friend posting pictures on Instagram of these beauty boxes she was getting. I liked what I saw and decided to sign up. I currently have two I subscribe to, which are Birchbox and Beauty Army. With Birchbox, you fill out a profile and they send you 5-6 samples based off the profile you made.

The one on top is Beauty Army: Marula- Facial Oil Pida- Exfoliating Gel Color Smash- Hair Color Remington- Head Bands Adonia- Organic Tanner (the product I didn't choose) Mighty Leaf

I'm just getting back into really wearing makeup after having my son two years ago. No one ever really taught me how to properly apply makeup, I kinda just picked up things from friends, then eventually found the MAC counter and now the power of Social Media. I kinda wish that I was taught how but I've enjoyed learning the way I have. I also never really knew what products were the best, worst, and so on. In high school it was all about what I could afford, in college, one of my best friends told me about MAC and I was hooked ever since. Now from watching MUAs on YouTube and through Beautylish, I've learned there are so many other products out there. I just never knew about them until about a couple years ago. Now, I'm obsessed with trying out ev
