    Top 5: DRY SHAMPOOS

    Happy TUESDAY! You know what that means 😀 well, aside from the obvious title lol! Today I’m sharing my top 5 dry shampoos. I consider myself a pro at this since I was an early adopter – my hair is the type that, despite being washed in the morning, will be oily by the same evening. I use dry shampoos daily (& yes it’s important to use a strong clarifying shampoo to cleanse your scalp of any dry shampoo buildup over time!) I’ve tried all the most popular dry shampoos as well as many unknown brands and have found a few different types that I regularly keep on my beauty counter.

    Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo – This dry shampoo was such a trip when I first tried it! The non-aerosol packaging still manages to “spray” out the product which makes it a great option for traveling and for those who prefer to avoid aerosol products. You give the bottle a good shake, turn the cap to expose the nozzle and squeeze – just like that, a light mist of product comes out! I do find that it struggles with my oily roots but it does an amazing job and refreshing the length of my hair – reducing the clumpy oily mess my strands turn into. The scent is also very soothing and calming, almost spa like, containing 25 pure flower and plant essences!

    Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Two Day Extender – I’ve mentioned Redken’s dry shampoo a couple times before and still love it just as much. It sprays on clear, with no white residue and does an amazing job at reviving my oily roots while leaving a nice, matte finish. The product seems to be easily build-able as I’ve layered it on when needed and it does not clump up or leave my hair feeling sticky at all. It also smells amazing, without being overpowering – I love the clean, fresh scent!

    Not Your Mother’s Unscented Clean Freak Dry Shampoo – I first tried this product when StyleWatch sent it to me during the holidays and quickly fell in love with it! I like to pair it with their Déjà Vu Do Style Extender (which does a crazy good job by the way)! The two products combined can keep my oily mane under control for up to 4 days after washing! It’s also unscented which is rare in the dry shampoo world, so it’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t like fragranced hair products or when you’re wearing a nice perfume and don’t want any distractions.

    Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo For Brunettes I was pretty shocked to see the not so great reviews when I was looking for the product link but after reading through them, I can sort of understand. This is a brunette dry shampoo that uses a tinted powder (as opposed to a white powder). I personally love that it sprays a colored powder and use it for anytime my hair is already styled; curled, up in a ponytail or updos and I don’t want to have to brush it out and mess up all the work I’ve done styling it! You do have to be careful as it could get on anything you’re spraying it in the direction of (walls, closets, clothing etc) and after a while, buildup at the nozzle can cause it to drip onto your hands or face (I’ve definitely ruined my makeup by accident). Always take care to shield your face and watch what direction you spray it in. Otherwise, the product itself gets the job done without any obvious white residues or a need to brush through it (though you can, you just don’t have to)!

    Keratin Complex Volumizing Dry Shampoo Lift Powder This little guy is amazingly powerful. Not only does it instantly control any signs of oiliness, but it adds a crazy amount of volume to your hair. I love that the powder itself feels cooling when applied and the brush does a great job and distributing the product where you want it. My only gripe is that the product is a loose powder that’s completely exposed when you open it which can get a little messy – it would be perfect for traveling if there was some kind of sifter. CORRECTION: You don’t have to open it to expose the powder, the brush dispenses it on its own! Otherwise, this is another great option for anyone wanting to avoid aerosol products that’s super effective!

    Top 5: POWDER HIGHLIGHTS

    Top 5 Powder Highlight GLow

    Turn off your ad blocker to view content

    Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today I’m sharing my favorite powder highlights. Now, this was not an easy feat – my highlighter collection is pretty darn ridiculous but I decided to log all the highlights I found myself reaching for on a regular basis to make this list. Follow along below for details about each and what makes them so amazing!

    Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

    Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette
    The Ambient Lighting powders are famous for giving off a natural glow from within – think dreamy, angelic, bridal radiance. I love using a combination of all three shades for light makeup days when I want to look like I woke up like this, when we all know I really didn’t. The two lighter shades are gorgeous overtop blushes and lightly dusted under the eye areas while the deeper shade on the right is beautiful for a subtle sun kissed bronzer glow.

    Kevyn Aucoin

    Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight
    The Celestial Powder by Kevyn Aucoin has a similar subtle luminosity however I love how creamy this formula is – it’s lightweight and silky like cashmere making it a great option for more mature skin. I love the gorgeous radiating sheen it leaves and how build-able it is! This powder looks incredible layered over a cream highlight and gives you that breathtaking fresh faced ethereal glow.

    Tarte Exposed Highlight

    Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Highlighter in Exposed
    Tarte’s exposed highlighter is one of the newest additions to my collection and wow, does this little cutie pack a punch! This illuminator is a light champagne shade with some serious layering abilities. It looks amazing on the cheekbones or on the eyes as an inner corner highlight and it’s also vegan-friendly!

    Laura Geller

    Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator
    Laura Geller’s Gilded Honey is a favorite among the professionals and true to it’s namesake, it gilds everything it touches with a breathtaking gold sheen. I recently added the shades Charming Pink and Peach Glow to my collection and like its infamous sister, both shades are absolutely gorgeous. The different hues are subtle enough to layer without overpowering your look and lasts all day!

    BECCA Champagne Pop Jaclyn Hill

    BECCA Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop
    It goes without saying that this is a cult favorite. Having sold out within minutes of launching, and selling out again on multiple occasions thereafter, it was a limited edition product that’s been added to their permanent collection (and expanded upon!) Champagne Pop is a warm, champagne shade that works well on all complexions (though I wouldn’t recommend it for paler skin tones – for those, the shade Pearl would be perfect). To be honest, it’s just a no-brainer 😉 when I’m in a rush but going for a glam look, I dust on Champagne Pop and can already expect a compliment (or 5) on that glow!

    Happy Monday, everyone! If you’re friends with me on Snapchat or watched my Instagram Story, you probably recognize this outfit from yesterday’s shenanigans lol 🙂 I actually first wore this cape blazer in Vegas the other week but I styled it completely different. I wore it with a black mini skirt, gladiator heels and beachy waves for a sexy date night look. I love how unexpectedly versatile it is! I can see myself pairing it with shorts and loafers for a casual chic look or even a maxi or trousers for some fierce business/office style! What would you wear it with?
