Fredrick Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Creme

Let me just start by saying: YOU. NEED. THIS. IN. YOUR. LIFE. If you're not big into hair products and prefer a more simple routine, this is for you. You can use just this product alone and be left with amazing looking and feeling hair.
 I swear this literally transforms how your hair looks and feels with the tiniest amount of product. I'm talking smaller than pea size of product. It is incredibly light feeling formula on the hair. I've used drugstore glossing cremes in the past (like John Freida) and I promise you that this blows it out of the water. The drugstore cremes are heavy and greasier, weighing down the hair and making it look and feel slimy.

It has a steep price tag, but this is worth the money. Seriously worth every penny. You don't need to buy things like this often. This tube will probably last you over a year. Thinking of it that way, $20 isn't so bad of an investment to make considering the results. I would be willing to pay $30 for this.


Your hair also feels noticeably softer. I have yet to encounter any product that beats this. Everyone should have it. If you don't believe me, there is a trial size. It's my mission to tell every girl out there that they need this in their life.

If you sign up for their e-mails, you get 15% off your first purchase from Fekkai.com! However, this product can be found at Walgreens and CVS as well (but for an additional $4 or so).

Purchase from Fekkai, $20

Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy Flat Iron Spray

I received this as a gift for Christmas from my aunt. I absolutely fell in love with this stuff the first second I used it. I use it every single day. I can't live without this stuff!

I'm assuming it's the keratin, but it makes my hair go from dry looking to silky looking. My favorite party - It's not greasy AT ALL. I can even spray it on my roots! Yes, my roots! Normally I don't go anywhere near my roots with hair products because I get oily SO easily. But this product can go anywhere on the hair and make it feel amazing.

Purchase from ULTA, $7.99

Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron 1

I have been using this hair straightener for 5 years now. I'm on my second one, but I only bought it 6 months ago. Which means the first one lasted me 4 whole years! And before this iron, I used a similar Sedu flat iron that also lasted me years.

I definitely recommend this company for hair products. It heats up in 2 minutes and makes my hair look soft and shiny. They have year warranties if you purchase from Folica.com. I definitely recommend Folica as well. Great customer service, and great deals. I recommend signing up for their e-mails before you purchase, as they regularly send out 20% coupons.

It also comes in black, but I chose the pink one. If you don't believe me, look on the website and there are over 1000 positive reviews for this flat iron.

I know some people don't like to spend a lot on flat irons. I don't really understand why, because this is an item that you use for years. This is an item you are trusting on your delicate, prone to breakage hair. If you're going to burn the crap out of your hair, you need to do it right, to ensure the least amount of damage. It may just be me, but I have no problem spending the money on hair styling tools for this reason.


Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss


I love OPI and Essie as much as the next girl. But, I don't always feel like spending upwards of $8 on nail color if I don't absolutely love it, if it's not unique or if it's super trendy. So, I am always trying to find passable drugstore options for nail polish. And this is the best I have found.

Truthfully this is probably the only Covergirl product you'll ever see me use. I tend to find their other products low quality. But this nail polish works very, very well. I would stick to the gel formula though, and not the metallic shades. But the gel formula lasts just as long on my nails as high end nail polishes do.

The colors I like are Coral Silk (shown), Vio-last, Everbloom, Forever Fawn, Constant Candy, and Give'm The Greenlight.
