The Holy Grail of Shampoos and Conditioners

Dear God, I finally found it! Literally after washing my hair ONCE with Living Proof Frizz Shampoo and Living Proof Restoring Mask Treatment my hair was so incredibly smooth! I have wavy/curly, shoulder-length, layered hair that has always felt like it was not smooth. You know when no matter how soft or styled your hair looks but then you run your fingers through it and are just disappointed by the texture and layers? Yeah, well that’s my hair. Everyday. So I have tried practically everything from no frizz sprays to insane moisture restoration shampoo and conditioner combinations with minor to temporary improvements.

Finally, after an hour of research on the differences between Moroccan and Macadamia oil, I decided that I would head over to my trusty Ulta store for some in-person advice. Immediately when I told the woman my problem she directed me to Living Proof, amongst other less appealing options. Turns out that Jennifer Aniston (who can resist Jen, am I right?!) is the co-owner of the company and that Allure Magazine voted the frizz-fighting duo for the best shampoo and conditioner of 2014.

Travel Shampoo, $10, Ulta; Travel Conditioner, $10, Ulta; Travel Restoration Mask, FREE usually $12, Ulta
Travel Shampoo, $10, Ulta; Travel Conditioner, $10, Ulta; Travel Restoration Mask, FREE usually $12, Ulta

To make the whole thing 10 times better, the old-as-time sales pitch turned out to be true; I really saw results after one use! Plus, I was outside in the rain and humidity all day without an umbrella (super smooth Marin) and my hair held up!

I bought the travel/sample size in the shampoo and conditioner, but believe me I am definitely getting more! I will also keep you updated on future uses as well as write a post on my hair care routine, so stay tuned! I will also post photos of my second-day hair after washing with these products so you can check them out!

Until Next Time,

Red, Red, Red

This week we explore this wonderful and stunning color! When wearing red be sure to tone down everything else. You don’t want to look too crazy colorful! Yet I am always a fan for a couple of colored pieces with some red lipstick. If you can pull it off, then do it! That’s what fashion’s about, after all. You express yourself through your clothing. If it’s not “you” and you don’t feel comfortable in it, then it’s not true “fashion”. Always wear what you love and don’t worry about what others might think, if it’s you then you shouldn’t feel self conscious!

Anyways, I love my red heels! They are super comfortable and sassy, perfect for a “feeling pretty” day! Wear them with a dress, like in the photo, and you’ll get compliments from your peers! But don’t limit yourself to dresses, mini skirts and skinny jeans are also fun options!

Lipstick Love

Hey you stylish people!
Today I am recommending one of the best lipstick I have ever worn: Kate by Rimmel London. This brand is beyond my favorite and one of the most highly recommended makeup items by not just myself, but also many Youtube reviewers like Zoella (You should also check her out she is pretty incredible!).

It comes in a bunch of different colors as well as textures! You can get one in a red casing, which has a matte finish and lasts for hours, or you can get the black casing, which has a glossy finish that stays up to normally 5-6 hours with tons of colors to choose from. The black one also smells really good for some reason, so that’s an added bonus!

I personally have not loved any lipstick more than these. There is no lie when I say that they last for hours and still look fresh, so seriously try them out because you won’t find another drugstore lipstick that is THAT GOOD!

Expect more makeup recommendations and techniques in the future!
Lots of Love,

Marin S.
