This is the best primer! My skin feels like velvet and foundation goes on so smooth.

I don’t like heavy coverage in the summertime. This tinted moisturizer is great because it goes on smooth and has enough coverage to make a difference plus it doesn’t smell bad and it’s not sticky.

This is usually my first lip gloss of the day. It looks great with a little liner and is so pretty on. I also really like the scent!

Yep. I tried it and when I want heavier coverage it really is THAT good! Great for filming days or photos and it's really soft on.

Look I'm Gen-X and I love a lined lip. This lip liner is great. It's soft and stays put. I like a neutral color with a little gloss.

My favorite powder eyeshadow hands down. Stila kitten is perfect. 10/10. No notes.

Obssessed with this serum. I use it morning and night and it has helped SO much. I have dry skin and I saw a noticable difference after just a few weeks of use.

Daily moisturizer paired with the serum is the routine I have always wanted. It took forever to find products I love but Face Haus did it.

Naturally Curly Hair Must-Haves

I have coarse naturally curly hair that I wear straight most of the time. These are my go-to hair products.

Tried this when getting a blowout on a cruise and immediately ordered when I got home. It's so great for heat treated hair and leaves my naturaly curly hair soft and shiny when I wear it straight.
Kérastase Chroma Absolu Serum Thermique

My go-to hair finishing tool. Quick slicks is great for flyaways and silly gray hairs that insist on doing their own thing. It has hold but it's not sticky or stiff. Mild or nonexistent scent.

This is the best blow dryer brush! I have trried more expensive versions but I keep coming back to this one. It's affordable and really gets the job done. I do recommend starting with half-dry hair for best results.

When I do wear my curls, the Frizz-Ease secret weapon is like gold! I can extend my curls for days with this cream.

I am still working on making the most of my Tre-Luxe kit, but the serum stands out because I can use it whether my hair is curly or straight. It's great for softening dry ends.
