Fill the Cart Friday- Sephora

Hello! I hope everyone has had a great week. I thought since I get a lot of questions on my makeup or products I use, I would highlight some of my favorites again and some of my new favorites! My hair tutorial HERE where I have made a video of how I curl my hair, and linked below the hair tutorial video is all of the products I use on my hair! Just click them and shop. Another post I have done HERE goes over all of the makeup I use on my face or products I have and love too!

BENEFIT MASCARA-I know I have linked these before but if you are new to my blog you are seeing this for the first time! I apply this mascara after the Bad Gal Lash mascara for a more dramatic look! I use the color black, but there are several other colors available.

BENEFIT BAD GAL LASH- I am in love with this mascara! The brush is perfect for catching each eyelash making them look fuller! I apply this one first.

GLAM GLOW- Don't you love it when you are given samples that you actually end up loving? This is one of them! It is a moisturizer that I use over my normal one, and I actually just apply it to under my eyes and cheekbones! If you don't wear makeup this is perfect for you too! Oh and it smells SUPER yummy!

PRIMER WATER - I know, I know it totally sounds like a joke but it works and I love it! I already have and love Photo Finish Primer but honestly I forget to put it on first like 99% of the time. So that is where this one is perfect because you do your makeup like normal then spray it on afterwards! I got this recommendation from my blogger friend!

FLOWERBOMB- This perfume is my favorite! Rich floral notes and so sexy. Perfect for any occasion. If you don't know what you want for the Holidays, put this on your list!

MORACCAN OIL DRY SHAMPOO- My hair is made up of about 70% dry shampoo on any given day and I only use this one. If I could get them to give me stock to promote it I would be in heaven! Haha. TIP: when I straighten my hair I feel it looses body, so after I wash and straighten, I spray my root line with this dry shampoo even though my hair is clean! They have a light tone and dark tone. I use the light tone since I want it to look lighter πŸ˜‰ If you have darker hair, here is that LINK.

I also use the MORACCAN OIL itself when I get out of the shower! One pump and I run it through my damp hair.

RINSE OFF EYE MAKEUP- I don't go anywhere without this stuff! I scored a travel size one from a kit and I just refill that one so I can carry it on the airplane! I just take a Kleenex and dab a bit on it and wipe under and around my eyes! Super gentle and great for my sensitive skin.

HAND CREAM- I always keep this in my purse! It is not greasy and small enough not to be obnoxious in my purses AND it comes in a ton of yummy scents, but I always go back to the almond or Shea. So boring I know.

YSL LIPSTICK The color I love is 13. Lucky number 13. It is a great neutral color, but I also love number 107 too! It lasts longer than a normal lip color but not difficult to remove!

 

THE Hair Tutorial- How I Use a Curling Wand

Ok, before I start I must say that I was blessed with good hair! Thanks Mom. Hopefully my daughter will thank me later on too πŸ˜‰

This is my most requested tutorial or blog post to date and I know it has taken me forever to do, but mustering up the courage to do a video, plus technical problems, and a few more requests later......here it is! It is not professional so I guess that means there is room for improvement!! Haha. I will link everything I use on my hair at the bottom so you can just click on the image and it will take you right where to purchase it! Also, since I feel like I didn't want the video to be too long, I decided to answer questions in a Q&A format instead of on the video in fear I may miss something! I hope this helps some of you and it is what you are looking for!

Question and Answers!

1.) Where do you get your hair done, and who does it?

-I get my hair done at Sahar's salon in West Des Moines, Iowa. My go-to girl is Jenny Keese!

2.) How often do you wash your hair?

- I wash it usually every 3-4 days but I can sometimes get 5 days out of it! The key is to "train" your hair. Slowly stop washing it so often and add in dry shampoo. My favorite is linked below, plus it smells so good! I use the light toned one.

3.) What tool do you use to curl your hair?

- I use a wand, again linked below, and I found it on sale!! I like the 1 inch barrel. I used to be a die hard curling iron gal and once I bought a wand, I used it for a few weeks then went back to what I knew, the curling iron because it took less time. But I decided to give it another try because the wand holds my curl so much better! And I haven't looked back since! 

4.) What products to you use on your hair?

-I have linked everything below for you but I start with just shampoo and conditioner in the shower. I only condition the ends of my hair. I then apply oil to my damp hair and if I forget to do it when it's wet, I just add it on once I have dried my hair. I love that it doesn't leave my hair greasy looking or feeling. Then I just use hairspray once I have curled my hair and run my fingers through it. That's it!

5.) Do you ever get a crease from leaving your hair up?

-Yes! And I hate it when that happens. I usually avoid putting my hair up the fist day I have washed it. Plus if I do put my hair up, I either leave it super high or super low πŸ˜‰

6.) What type of hair do you have?

- I have super thick, fairly course hair and if I do not dry it right away, it gets wavy and not the pretty kind of wavy either. When it is humid, my hair has a mind of it's own as well.... hello frizz ball. 

7.) Do you ever straighten your hair? What do you use for that?

- I rarely straighten my hair because honestly I can't get 3-4 days out of my hair when it is straight, I am not sure why but it looks too flat, plus I love my hair straight better the day after I straighten it. But I use a 1 inch straightener linked below!
