I have been using Batiste dry shampoo for years. I have also used just about every single dry shampoo you can buy at a drug store, as well as a few higher end ones. I always fall back to this guy.
I have VERY oily hair. I also do not want to wash my hair every day because you’re really not supposed to, and who is going to do their hair every day. So, I turn to this Batiste guy for help. By day two of not washing my hair, it’s already looking oily. A little Batiste and I’m okay until after work (5pm) and then I’m looking an oily mess again. I can normally spray some more if I have a dinner or an event at night and get away with it. By day 3, unless I’m going to wear my hair up it’s really time to wash.
I do recommend it. It will leave your hair chalky if you have dark hair, UNLESS you get the dark hair version which is my go to. When I dye my hair blonde, I use the blonde version and it serves as a way to lighten my roots up a bit too so I really like these options.
Now the build up is a negative. It does build up a lot. And if I use it for months, I have to switch to a different dry shampoo for a bit because my scalp gets super irritated. I also need to use a lot to cover up all the oil enough to wear my hair down and not look crazy.
Overall, it’s a good dry shampoo. The best one I’ve found, even compared to expensive ones. It could be better/ more gently on the scalp though. Then it really would be perfect!

First off, I wanted to love this razor SO BAD. I will say as a positive: you get an extremely close shave which lasts way longer than other razors I’ve used. Also the moisturizing bars around the blades are great and it will remove even the thickest hair with ease. It also comes in a cute package and a convenient and with a really convenient and aesthetically pleasing magnet for the shower. I love that!
Unfortunately, the downside I cannot get over: it gives me the WORST razor burn. I don’t get razor burn with other razors (unless they are dull of course). I really have never had a razor burn issue at all. But some ingredient in the moisturizing bars I love so much, completely break out my legs. I wanted to like the razor so badly, I even reached out to Billie and asked if it could’ve been a bad blade. Their customer service is GREAT, super nice, and they sent me a replacement blade to try. Unfortunately, same issue. The only way I’ve gotten this to be a little better (y’all I really want to love this razor) is to rinse and I mean really really wash my legs after shaving, which I’ve never done. And apply extra shaving cream while shaving and lotion right after the shower.

I have used Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour foundation for a couple of years on and off. A plus is that it does not break out my sensitive skin. The downside, is that there is a lot of transfer. Setting with powder helps this a bit, but this foundation has never lasted me all day.. definitely not 12-hours. I do like the finish for the first few hours. I would say it’s medium coverage. Overall a good foundation, but not the holy grail. -

Let me preface by saying, I initially was not sold on the idea of an Apple Watch for years. I thought I would hardly use it and wouldn’t wear it. I had a different smart watch before (not Apple) and that’s exactly what happened.
Then through work, I won it in a fitness contest and only paid ~$100 for it, so I decided to give it a try.
And now, I LOVE my Apple Watch!! It motivates me to move during the day. It tracks all my fitness and gives medals and encouragement during the day.
As a bonus, it shows me what all my texts are and stays synced to my phone even if I’m a bit far away. This is GREAT because I rarely have my phone in my hand and miss texts and calls all the time. But now I don’t! Never miss a call. Best feature: you can always ping your phone when you can’t find it!!! Life saver, has saved me SO much time!
Overall, I really recommend the Apple Watch series 5. I love it. It’s a bit pricey, but you’ll use it every day and it’s worth it!

First, I am really impressed with the coverage of this concealer. It’s full coverage and will cover any blemish or dark spot. I do find that it will settle into little under eyes, which aren’t visible without makeup on. Only downside in terms of coverage that I’ve found so far.
I gave it 4/5 stars for value, because At $27 it is a bit higher of a price point. However, still 4 stars because you get a lot of product in the tube and the quality really is great.
One slight issue I have with the shape tape concealer, I have to use it sparingly. I can use it under my eyes and nose without an issue. However, I’ve noticed if I use it a few days in a row on my lower cheeks / chin area, I get blemishes. I have very sensitive, acne prone skin so this may be a non issue for others.
Overall, great concealer. Makes your makeup look flawless and is one of my go to’s for everyday.
