Healthy Haircare

Hello Lovelies,

So I have had the Big Sexy Hair's Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner  for some time now but I wanted that make sure I really loved  it before I did a review for you guys but let me just say, I am in love with this product!!  I got this deep conditioner at Ulta a few months ago, it was a bit more expensive than most of my other products but still wasn't over the top. At first I didn't really use it very often but recently I have used it almost every night. Since I spend a ton of time in the pool my hair tends to get pretty gross and this product weather you have damage from the pool (like me!) or from styling tools this leave in conditioner helps to heal and restore my hair leaving it soft and workable.


After I take a shower at night I will brush out my hair with a wide tooth comb and then spray the conditioner throughout my hair working it product through with my fingers to make sure it gets spread throughout all of my hair.

Then I let my hair air dry and in the morning when I wake up my hair will be soft, and tangle free. If  however you are looking for textured hair than I wouldn't recommend this product but it is a great leave in conditioner that will leave hair smooth shiny and super touchable!

Spring O.O.T.D. !!!

Hola from Mexicooo!

I'm still in Mexico, but I thought 'd show you guys one of my OOTD's I wore when I went out to eat at a restaurant ON THE BEACH. Lie, our tables was on the sand next to the water!  If you ever happen to be in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, I highly recommend taking a trip downtown and going to eat at The Office! Anyways, since it was night and a bit colder, I thought this outfit would work for spring on a warmish day.  I'm starting to ramble solo lets get started!!!

Here's the outfit!  I personally think it's super cute and let me tell you, it's soooo comfortable!  If you're going anywhere on a beach for spring break, this is perfect for nighttime walks on the beach!  To get this look you'll need:

1. A warm knit sweater!  I bought mine from target and it's super soft and warm :)
2. Light wash high waisted shorts!  These ones I actually made!  I went to a local thrift shop, found some ugly mom jeans that looked like they had some potential, and cut and rolled them to make these adorable vintage-looking shorts!  Of course you can buy high waisted shorts, but they're usually really expensive so I definitely recommend making your own!  It only cost be about $5! :O
3. I wore a triple chain rustic gold necklace but any gold tinted necklace that isn't too fancy will do!
4. I'm barefoot in the picture because that's how I was most of the night but I would either pair this with flip flops to keep it super casual or brown oxfords to dress it up a little bit. Bare footed is the way to go in my opinion ;)
5. I wore my hair naturally and I had a very natural makeup look as well, but you can do whatever you like! :)

So that was my OOTD!  I hope you guys enjoyed it :)  Comment with any suggestions you have for posts!  I have another spring break related post coming up as well so be on the lookout for that!  Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Instagram to get the latest updates from us!

Have a fabulous day!

XOXO,

Sorry for the bad quality!  I took it on my phone and tried to edit it but I think it just made it worse... At least you can get the general idea!

Make-up Makeover!

Hey beauties!

Ever since I made makeup a main part of my everyday routine I have been moving around my house from bathroom to bathroom, mirror to mirror looking for the right place to hold my make-up collection. It's taken a while but I've finally figured out the way that I like my makeup and hair tools stored. When I re-did my bedroom this past summer I turned my old bookshelf into my own makeup studio. Here's how you can too.

First I started by clearing out the top two shelves of my bookcase. Then I added long door miror to the top of the bookshelf.

To create this space I took a wire desk organizer and put an acrylic container on top and bottom. This is helpful because I keep all of the products that I use everyday such as face lotions, toner water, eyelash curlers, lip balms, powders and foundations. I also keep tools such as tweezers, scissors, and old perfume samples in old film containers. I've clamped several hair clips on the sides of the wire rack, purely for convenience.

Next to my everyday products I've lined up spice jars from IKEA that hold my brushes, q-tips, hair ties, and bobby pins. next to that I have make up sponges and two kabuki brushes.

The next space I have is where I keep my hair styling tools, products and the bulk of my makeup collection. 

In this container I keep my styling products on top and my styling tools on the bottom. 

This is the storage container that I received from miumiu.com for Christmas past year. I got two separate acrylic containers and stacked them on top of each other. On top I keep my palettes, one from Victoria Secret and the other from Sephora. Each drawer includes (in order): Face Products, Small Palettes, Singular Shadows, Large Palettes, Mascara, Eyeliners, Lip Products, and Lip Glosses. 

On the next shelf I keep most of my favorite products, and my train case. I have hairsprays and products, body sprays  lotions and two empty perfume boxes. 

Last but not least! I have all of my favorite nail polishes, I keep them here for easy access and this is just a piece of my collection but these are all of my go to colors. I put mainly my Essie products here to keep the look similar but I also have two polishes form Forever 21 on display. 

So this is just how I organize my make up collection, let us know how you organize your makeup in the comments below! 

Xoxo Lilly :)

Sunday Spotlight!

Hey guys!

So today I'm gonna be telling you about one of my new favorite products that will help you get the perfect holiday hairstyles! This wonderful product is none other than the 1 1/2 inch Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Styling Wand! I just recently purchased this and I ADORE it! You can find it at any local drugstore or target for only $25! Not only is it pink, but it give you beautiful, voluminous, glossy curls! I also own one of the Revlon curling wands in a smaller size but I'm not a huge fan of tight spiral curls. With a bigger barrel size, I can easily get my favorite big bouncy curls! I'm not very good at curling my hair but it's sooo easy to curl with the wand! Also because its ceramic (I'm not sure how it does this) but it doesn't leave your hair with a fried crunchy feeling at all! Smooth, sleek, and wonderful :) I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little review but I'll probably be posting some holiday looks using this wonderful product ;)

XOXO,
Rae <3

Fall/Winter Favorites!

Hello my lovelies!

When the weather starts to get chilly, the leaves change color, and it's acceptable to start buying hot drink at starbucks, it means that it's finally my favorite time of year!  There's nothing I love more than the holiday seasons!  The only thing that can almost compare to my love for the holidays is my love for fall/winter fashion.  So, obviously, today I'm going to be talking about my favorite fall and winter favorites!  There's definitely a lot to cover so I'll get started...




My absolute FAVORITE fall/winter fashion trend is sweaters!!!  I adore them in all shape, sizes, wacky prints, and colors!  It's so easy to throw on a cute sweater, some leggings, and moccasins when you're in a hurry.  You'll be warm, comfortable, and you'll still look super cute!  I usually buy mine a couple sizes bigger than what I'd normally wear :)


 
Sometimes when it's really cold out, you'll need more than just a sweater.  I think knit scarves are an adorable way to stay nice and toasty warm while adding a pop of color or some texture to your look!  I'm a huge fan of infinite scarves but I will also always love a classic knit scarf :)



Since it can be hard to accessorize when you're wearing a big sweater, I've been loving small, dainty rings!  They can add such a simple feminine touch to any outfit.  I have a couple and I wear them constantly!



In the beginning of autumn, I purchased a pair of brown combat boots at target and I've basically been LIVING in them ever since!  They're so cute and comfortable and they go perfectly with all of my favorite sweaters!


 Those are my fashion favorites so now it's time for beauty favorites!



Personally, I'm not a big lipstick wearer, but I think that gorgeous dark red and burgundy shades like this one are perfect for fall!  This color by Nars called Autumn Leaves (literally meant for fall!) is one of the many beautiful lip colors out there that will instantly make your lips pop!



When wearing such bold lip colors, a natural eye look similar to this one will help you complete the perfect fall look!  You'll want to stay as natural as possible with the shadows (try only using matte shadows) and use a nice lengthening mascara.  This is my go to eye look all year round!



Last but not least, one of my favorite hairstyles!  Hair bows are the perfect way to add a touch of girlyness to your usual hairstyle!  They look complicated, but they're actually really easy to do and it only takes a couple minutes!  If you can't figure it out, you can just clip in a cute satin bow and you're ready to go!

So that tops off my fall/winter fashion and beauty favorites!  I hope you guys enjoyed!  Feel free to send us any request at lillyrae24@gmail.com or comment below. :)  Thanks for reading!

XOXO, Rae
