Hello beauties!  How many times have you gone shopping for a specific beauty product only to leave feeling like everything is just way too expensive to build an effective regime?  Well, never fear because today's post is all about the best ways to save all while looking and feeling like you indulged in a total splurge.  Let me first say that there are certain skincare and makeup items that are one-hundred percent worth every single penny.  What they do for you and your skin is sometimes immeasurable and not to be overlooked.  These three items (here, here and here) are a few I would never be without.  Still so many other times, you can most definitely save tons of money while still providing your skin with just as many beautiful benefits (or sometimes even more!).  So, let's dive in and take a look at these top Save vs. Splurge items I'm loving right now.

This hair oil mist has done soooo much for my hair in relatively no time at all.  That says a lot coming from a girl who swore by this oil for nearly $100 a pop.  Since I've been using this one, my hair is super silky, easy to style and oh so shiny.  I also notice that while I've been using it, my hair seems to be growing like a weed!

Long lashes are a girl's best friend and so is a great primer.  I used to only swear by this one but once I came across L'oreal's version, I've never looked back.  It coats and conditions your lashes every time you use it, leading to healthy long lashes that never fall out or break.  

This lipstain is the one I've been using for probably a decade, haha.  And in all that time, it has never let me down.  From the time I put it on to the end of my work day, it stays put.  No peeling, no cracking and no dry, uncomfortable lips.  Just a glossy, colorful smile which is exactly how I like it.

Skincare is so very important from your teens until forever and not an area where you want to skimp. This line knows that and has created several products that are highly effective and beyond affordable. Once opened, they do have a quick shelf life but if you use them routinely, that is not a problem.  

The rest of the products shown here are available in the links below.  I know that if you love a well-performing product and enjoy saving money then you're going to wonder how you ever lived without these.  Happy savings!

BEAUTY SAVE VS. BEAUTY SPLURGE

Friday's here which means time for a weekend getaway.  Before you pack your bags for the beach be sure to have all the essential your hair, skin and face will need.  This little gadget has done something I never thought possible.  It has replaced my once beloved Clarisonic as my must-have cleansing device. Unlike the beauty brush, this palm sized cleansing device pulsates your way to cleaner, clearer and healthier skin {in just three days!}  I grabbed mine at the latest Nordstrom's sale only days ago and can already see gorgeous changes in my skin.  Couple that with no brush heads to sanitize or replace and it only needs charging every five months. Definitely worth a looksee.  I was also given this mind blowing face serum to try and my oh my is it a powerhouse of perfection!  I admit the price tag is a bit steep but honestly, you only have one face and you wear it, everyday.  Break that down and compare the cost-per-wear to your shoes and….sold.  My hair's never quite the same without the right product in it.  This volumizer by Kérastase leaves mine feeling full and looking lush.  Perfection.  Beach curls are equally perfected with this magic creme.  Toss all your beauty loot into a great bag {love this one for beach days} and it's ready, set, sunshine! Enjoy the first weekend of summer!

Summer pastimes are some of our favorite ways to spend the season (hello beach days, barbecues and poolside parties) but they can leave our skin and hair sun-damaged, stressed and in need of some serious tlc.  Today I'm sharing my five favorite skin and hair helpers that get me through the summer with soft supple skin and well-cared for tresses.  The three main areas that I find need the most attention are my hair, face and body.  Sun and sea can really rob your hair and skin of the hydration it needs to stay soft and supple.  To renew that daily, I reach for this incredible cleanser that leaves my skin exceptionally clean and unbelievably moisturized.  So good!  I love to follow up with extra moisture around the extra delicate skin in the eye area (so important!).  This rich little eye cream is just like heaven in a jar.  Its lightweight texture is perfect for summer and the emollients it holds work wonders on summer-stressed skin.  For an extra luxe treat, keep this little gem jar in the fridge and you'll not only get to enjoy the refreshing feeling, you'll extend and preserve the efficacy of the product ingredients.  I also love giving my hair extra attention in the summer as the sun and water can really take a toll on that mane.  This treatment is a splurge but so very worth it!  The hydrators and smoothers work so well to tame and detangle that summer swept hair.  I also love a really good beach wave spray that gives me body and bounce whenever I want it.  This one from Bumble and bumble does it beautifully.  What's your favorite summer beauty must-have that you always reach for?  You can shop all mine below.  Wishing you a lovely Wednesday!

I've had an ongoing love affair with beach hair for as long as I can remember.  From summers gone by up to this day, tousled beachy waves have always been a favorite of mine.  I think what I love the most is not only is it such a pretty look it's also so, so easy to get.  I like to start with a really good texturing mist to add piecey waves and lots of movement to my hair.  This one from Blow Pro gives it a natural feeling wavy style.  Some others that I've tried and loved and that give the same effect are Alterna's Bamboo Beach Ocean Waves, Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and Fekkai Soleil Beach Waves.  What's you're favorite summertime hair look? Hope you're having a beautiful Wednesday!

Styles and trends may come and go but one thing that always remains the same is the need for incredible beauty products that pamper and perform.  April is but only a few days away and springtime beauty routines are definitely what my skin craves right now.  Just like we have been slowly peeling back the layers, our skin is also ready now to shed the heavier colors and coverage and reach for sheer washes and pretty glow enhancers.  One must-have I'm coveting as we speak is this illuminator from Nars.  It's glowly, ethereal quality imparts the loveliest lit-from-within brightness to my skin.  The same effect can also be found in a stick formula via The Multiple and this Stila All-Over Shimmer Duo.  A great skincare routine is similarly essential to any makeup-optional days you may wish to enjoy.  This silkening liquid from SK-II is rich with nutrients and feeds your skin all the goodness it needs as it hydrates, refines pore size and tone, improves firmness and leaves your face with an unmistakable radiance I just love.  For the body, this luscious whipped concoction from my favorite fragrance brand smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling pillowy and baby soft everywhere.  If you've never tried it, give it a go once and I promise you'll not know how you got along without it.  Don't forget a pretty pout before you head out the door.  Some many makeup lines have really stepped it up lately with newly formulated lip colors the combine treatment, shine and color in the most silkening formulas imaginable.  This lip plumper by Laura Mercier hydrates and moisturizes my lips and smells amazing and, unlike typical lip plumping products, it gives you a cool, minty feeling with no stinging.  Ahhh, I'm so ready for those April springtime days ahead and the great results these blushing beauties will give.  You can shop all the items I'm using in the links above and below and get your glow on too.  Happy spring!

As much as I loved sporting my sassy and chic bob, I realize my heart belongs to those long and lush locks.  Yes, I'm craving that long and loose wavy style now and am so excited to go back there. These looks are some of my favorites and they provide the perfect bit of inspo right now.  With that I'm on the road to growing my hair to that crowning glory length I've always adored.  Whether growing out an older cut or enjoying your fresh crop, it's always important to keep your tresses into tip top shape.  This dryer is one of my favorites, perfect for all those days in between professional blowouts. I always start with the heat protection of a good shine boosting oil.  The soft and silky difference it makes on my hair is amazing.  More length means greater versatility.  Long, loose waves are easy with the perfect curling wand.  It gives my hair the perfect amount of bend and bounce.  Also love this one too.  Keeping hair healthy is a must no matter the length.  At least once a week, I like to treat myself to my favorite conditioner wrapped up in a hot towel.  

Hope your Monday is merry and bright….Merry almost Christmas!!

The weekend is here {at last!} and happily, that means a lot of fun in the sun.  Those carefree days at the beach can also be your skin's best friend with just a few simple switch outs.  
My favorite beach beauty products add a softness to my hair and give a glow to my skin, while flawlessly protecting them from the sun.  For loose, tousled beach waves both on and off the sand, I love this spray from Bumble & Bumble.  My fair skin would probably love to remain covered up all year long.  Luckily, it doesn't have to.  Supergoop! sunscreen is my favorite choice.  I love slathering on all those antioxidants and high SPF protection on my skin.  Topping it off are {always} a cute floppy hat and a great pair of sunnies {loving these beauties!}  How about you girls?  What are some of your favorite beach beauty loves?  

Happy Friday and enjoy the weekend!

We all know how winter can play rough with our skin, leaving it dry, chapped, chafed and ready for some well-deserved TLC in the form of hydrating lotions, gentle exfoliators and cushioning creams.  The same is true of our hair, yet somehow we don't as readily come to its rescue with equally restorative products that pamper.

To take the guesswork out of winter haircare how-tos, here's an easy cheat sheet to simply solve women's four most common haircare complaints this season.


1.  HAIR THAT'S DULL & DRY:  Say goodbye to the winter doldrums and their ravaging effects on your hair with a richly restorative hair mask like this one from  Kerastase.

2.  LOSS OF SOFTNESS & SHINE:  Don't strip your hair, gently cleanse it instead.  Using a color safe shampoo (even if you've never colored you hair) is a great way to suds in softness and shine without the harsh effects of striping shampoos.  Follow it up with a moisturizing conditioner and your hair will thank you with suppleness and swing.  Two to try:  EverPure Volumizing Shampoo & EverPure Volumizing Conditioner

3.  LIMP & LIFELESS LOCKS:  When it comes to winter styling, you want to coax not coat your strands.  Too much product is never the way to go.  When trying to liven up your locks, less is always more.  Some of my favorite picks for getting that, "your hair but better" look are these little miracle workers: Calista Tools Embellish and Calista Tools Silk Sensation


4.  NON-STOP STATIC:  Low humidity and dry heat can lead to strands that stand on end garnering all the wrong types of attention.  Smooth and shine them instead with a few drops of the essential oil your hair and body crave.  A few small drops of these beauty in a bottle elixirs will do the trick and give you luxurious locks you'll love:  



Here's to hoping that these tips leave you with fewer hat hair days and many more crowning glory moments.  Wishing you all a beautiful Wednesday!

Short and Chic Cuts I Love





Any girl who adores fashion and creating her own personal style knows what pleasure that gives.  Just as much as clothes, and the way you are personally inspired to style them define your total look, so too does your hair and the love and attention you give it.  Whether sleek and straight or textured and full, hair speaks volumes.  These are some of the shorter, chic looks currently inspiring me.

No matter your length or preferred style du jour, here are my top seven hair care products I swear by.  Hope you like them too:


**This is a must-have for everyone.  Yes, it is quite pricey for a hairbrush but, a few things to consider...It treats your hair like gold.  No pulling, no tearing and no breaking, ever.  It protects strands and still stimulates the scalp and smoothes your hair effortlessly, for the perfect blowout.  Once you make the initial investment, you'll never look back, nor will you have to.  This brush will last you for years.
  
                                  So how has your signature hairstyle grown with you over the years and which hair essentials are you coveting?

                                                                     Wishing you a fabulous Friday...Enjoy the weekend!

HOT Summer Hair























































Summertime entails a lot of what we love....laid back days, easy styles, dress it up or dress it down events and all the fabulous hairstyles you could want to complement each of these moments.  Whether going casual while heading to the beach or glamming it up for your best friend's wedding, these hot summer hair looks are going to be just what you want.


1.  Braided:  Perfect for the sun and sand, a loose side braid is carefree and simple to pull off.  A beautiful benefit of this look?  Those loose and tousled waves you'll get when night falls and you're ready to turn it up a notch.  To get back from the beach waves try:  Bumble and bumble Sea Spray Set, $28.

2.  Pony Up:  Nothing says summertime chic better than a sleek ponytail.  Simple and to the point, this classic look shows off your beautiful features while keeping you cool.  Bonus points - you can work this one everywhere from barre class to date night by simply changing how high or low you go.  Keep your pony full of shine and swing using:  Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Deep Conditioner, $15.

3.  Long and Loose:  Sometimes the moment calls for us to simply let our hair down.  When that is the case, let your natural beauty shine by embracing your hair's texture and style.  Make hair happy and always protect your tresses with a great on-the-go repairing spray:  Rene Furterer No Rinse Moisturizing Spray, After Sun for Dehydrated Hair, $23.

4.  Angled Lob:  This year's of-the-moment cut, the long bob (aka "the lob") is being seen on women everywhere from L.A. to NYC and all the great places in between.  This cut is so fresh and appealing, I've been tempted to give it a try myself.  Easy to wear and simple to style, the lines of this look flatter almost any face shape.  Talk to your stylist to see which length and version work best for you.  No matter your choice, you can keep it looking its best with a fantastic styler:  Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray, $28.

5.  Sleek Bun:  Sophisticated yet simple, this is a favorite style not just in summer but all year round too.  So easy to pull off, a few twists and pins and voila, hair perfection.  Beside being a chic and effortless look, this style also allows you to treat your tresses to a little extra TLC.  Before securing your bun, spray in a nourishing hydrator:  Sally Hershberger Hyper Hydration Super Keratin Spray, $14.
