Red Hair
Is it just me or has red hair suddenly taken over the hair scene? Seems like yesterday everyone wanted bleach blonde hair, or blue tips to show how rebellious you are, or even the full on Emo/Goth black look. Don't try to deny it, we've all made hair mistakes right?

Is Eco Styler Gel Really Canceled?
WHAT IN THE baby hairs is going on here? The first time I heard about Eco Styler Gel being cancelled, I didn't understand why. This was the only gel I used that could actually lay my natural 4c hair down. It's the only thing that could slick my ponytail back with some beeswax and the only thing that made my curls pop when I decided to do a twist out. I was so over it. When I saw the videos online and articles online, I didn't care about what everyone was saying because this is the only thing I wanted to use.

Ultimate Skin Care Guide
For being the biggest organ the human body has, skin is so overlooked. Surprising considering there are aisles upon aisles of skin products in supermarkets everywhere. Yet most people skip over all of it, barely even washing their face at the end of the night. Crazy!

Independent Brands in Sephora
Disclaimer: If I am wrong about any, then please forgive me on that score. I tried my best. Therefore, take what I list with a grain of salt and do your own research. An indie brand essentially does not have a parent company (ie. constant backing, or outright ownership from the bigger shark) as per my opinion of it.

10 Beauty Benefits of Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a beautiful, transparent gel that derives from the Aloe plant, that contains a plethora of benefits. It was originally grown in Africa and now can be found all around the world, from the Mediterranean to some parts of The United States. Over the course of history, it has been used in many different ways across many different cultures. In fact, this plant is so amazing that almost 6,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians deemed it the “plant of immortality.” It is believed that Egyptian [and beauty] queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti used it in their daily beauty routines. The Native Americans and Greeks utilized the gel for its’ medicinal properties, in order to fix various types of skin issues, such as treating wounds.

7 Makeup Products that Broke the Internet. Top Story - August 2018.
The first thing I think of when I think viral makeup is the infamous Kylie Lip Kit. Kylie Jenner launched her beauty brand on November 30, 2015, with the $29 lip kits (pairs of matte liquid lipsticks matched with a lip liner in nude, pink and brown) selling out immediately at Kylie Cosmetics. The internet couldn't get enough, with the lip kits quickly becoming the must-have lip product of the year. Since then, Kylie has expanded her brand to a whole range of products and collections, launching collaborations with Khloe and Kris as well as birthday, Christmas, Valentine's, and holiday collections. Whilst these have also sold at record rates, it can't be denied that the lip kit was the viral trend that started it all.

11 New Palettes and My Tiff with Them
Disclaimer: I do not know why I have been writing “tift” instead of tiff in my titles. Despite knowing that it felt wrong. I work too many days, that’s my excuse. Regardless, forgive me for the embarrassing mistake. Moving on, critiquing is not hating (a dictionary would tell you that). And if you feel free to disagree, then this post may not be for you. Credit goes to Trendmood for keeping people posted about the makeup industry. This is a first impression based on online viewing only. I have not had the chance to see or touch any of these physically.

Alternative Natural Beauty Options
I have had acne since I was probably about 13. I've always loved the idea of living off the land, or living wholly. Recently, I've been trying to incorporate that into my beauty routine by cutting out the harsh chemicals. Seems to do the same as salicylic acid and creams with 40 different chemicals so if you wish to join me on my quest come with me and read my tips.
