Current Favorite Lip Look: Viva Glam Cyndi and Star Nova Lustreglass

These two products are my current favorite lip products. Together they create a really pretty soft coral lip with just a hint of purple. Viva Glam Cyndi is a little on the bright side for me, but paired with Star Nova Lustreglass, it is perfect! Keep an eye out for this combination, it'll be making an appearance in a future tutorial!

Both items are available from Mac Cosmetics. Click the names below to shop!

Review: Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse



I bought the Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse about two months ago in the hopes that it would tame my frizzy hair. My hair cooperates pretty well when it comes to styling; it will hold curling and straightening quite well. However, when I want to wear my hair naturally, it tends to frizz up and expand throughout the day.
I am pleased to say that this mousse is my miracle worker. I use it on my damp hair and I usually use the diffuser the dry it about halfway, then let it air dry the rest of the way. My curls are defined and frizz free. Best of all, the stay that way all day long! I definitely would recommend this product to anyone looking for something to define their curls and keep the frizz out!
