product love: Kevin Murphy





I honestly love when people share their favorite products with me or on their blogs. Not only because I'm kind of a product junkie, but I've found some real gems that way.  And, hello! When you find a new favorite product, it changes your life and all is right for a season. You with me?


Okay! So. I want to share my a couple of my favorite hair products with you:






Last time I was at the salon, I was introduced to Kevin Murphy hair products. It didn't take long for me to get hooked. I mean like 10 minutes. 


I've been using  the dry shampoo and curl enhancing lotion, and from me, a total commoner, this is what I think:

It all smells amazing. Not too fruity, not too perfumy, but juuust right.

The products are lightweight.

They actually do what they say they do! I have super straight hair. But I put the motion lotion in my towel-dried hair, let it air dry, and it gives me a kick-butt natural wave. I did my hair that way for like 3 weeks straight, just to test out its consistency. It passed the test.

 You know how some dry shampoos are too wet, and others are too thick and leave your hair with a layer of powder? This one is neither of those things, but all the right things! Feels dry, soaks up excess oil & my hair feels clean. 


And from my official couch desk, I am hereby endorsing Kevin Murphy and his inspired products for my hair. 

Has anybody else tried Kevin Murphy products? What do you think?

It's a hair-raising tutorial.

Alright folks. I had a couple requests for a tutorial based on this picture I posted on Instagram a few weeks ago.





Lest you have forgotten, I am weird, make strange noises and say "fun" about 23 times in this video. I am no professional in any sense of anything, so remember that while you watch my little video.

That being said, I hope you have FUN trying out this cute 'do!

Pro Longwear Foundation.
 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

This is by far my favorite foundation I've ever tried. You only need a tiny bit. It goes on thin, disappears completely while evening out your skin tone and hiding your flaws. It feels weightless and your skin looks amazing! 

Seriously, amazing.

I've convinced two of my girlfriends to try it, and they both love it. 

If you are in the market for a new foundation, get to the nearest MAC counter ASAP. 


And don't forget to thank me when you fall in love with it!
