Sephora Sale Picks

Sephora's Welcome Back Sale kicked off last week and continues until August 23rd online and in stores. All Beauty Insider Members (which is free to join!) will receive $15 off a $75 or more purchase, or $20 off $100 or more when they use the code WELCOMEBACK. I also want to remind you guys that Sephora has been offering 10% off of all purchases for healthcare workers, but I'm not sure if this is combinable with the welcome back sale or how long that will continue. I love a good Sephora sale, and it's a great time to re-stock your staple products or even try so[...]

My Top 3 Grown & Sexy Perfumes

When it comes to perfume, I'm pretty picky. It's rare that I'm in the beauty section of a store, and smell a perfume that screams my name. I like sweet scents, along with warm florals, and sometimes slightly masculine scents. Over the past year, I built up my perfume collection a little bit, as I was on a quest to find myself a grown and sexy signature scent. I've come a long way from Love Spell and Britney Spears Fantasy back in the day. Here are 3 of my top Grown & Sexy perfumes: 1) Tom Ford Velvet Orchid !function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)[...]

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Picks

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 Beauty Picks

We're inching closer and closer to general public access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (is the 19th circled on your calendar? Because it's circled on mine), and tomorrow those with Insider status get access. I ran down all my picks for the sale in a previous post (including those $50 Ugg Slides), and today I wanted to focus on my beauty picks since there are some great deals in the beauty department. From brushes by Luxie Beauty (I love their face brushes) to that MAC Fix+ Trio for $35, there are quite a few things worth checking out. Also, there's a[...]

Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser Review

Back when I was trying to get my skincare routine together, I realized that I needed to replace my go-to facial cleanser. The one that I was using at the time seemed to be really drying out my skin (I have oily skin, and my face was starting to feel really dry and stripped). I wanted to find something that would be gentle, yet effective at cleansing my skin without leaving it feeling stripped. Skinfix's Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser came to my rescue. I remembered being given a sample of a facial cleanser at the first Gen Beauty in New York years ago (and lik[...]

How to apply your lace front wig without glue

When I first started wearing lace front wigs, I would always use wig glue. The only thing is I felt like I needed to take breaks with wig glue, and wouldn't keep my wigs on for more than 5 days at a time with it (I broke out after keeping my wig on for longer than that when I tried Ghost Bond. I later had much better experiences with Bold Hold, but still wanted to get away from glue when I can). If I wasn't using wig glue, I did the Got2BGlued method. The only thing with Got2BGlued is that it can be messy, it can take a while, and it can go left quickly. On a few[...]

I got a request to film a tutorial on how I've been roller setting my wigs, to get bouncy soft curls. I used to roller set my hair back in the day when I was relaxed, but it was my hairstylist who suggested that I roller set my wigs as well for smoother curls (she had actually roller set it for me when she had originally styled it). 3 Keys To A Bomb Roller set 1) To make sure that you comb out each section so that the hair is smooth when you roll it. 2) To keep the hair damp (especially the ends) while rolling it 3) To allow the hair to dry COMPLETELY[...]
