Verb Hair Set

Hey Guys!


Today I wanted to talk about the verb set I recently got. I saw this kit and thought this was the perfect way to try out this brand. I have curly hair and have always had a problem with how to style it when I do not want to spend hours blow drying and styling my hair with a straightener. I have been noticing how damaged my hair has been looking so I am trying to not put so much heat on it hoping that it would help make my hair grow. This set seemed like the best way to try out a new way to style my hair.



I love having travel sets that I can throw my products in and this one is big enough where I can fit full sizes which will be perfect when I go on vacation. The bag is a little on the thinner side but it seems easy to clean.


Leave-in Hair Mist:
After a shower my hair is so tangled so this is very much needed. I like how this product doesn't weigh down my hair. It smells great and a little goes a long way.


Sea Salt Spray:
I like this spray as long as I use it with other products. On its own my hair gets so big I end up pulling my hair up. Which I hate doing because the baby hairs get all crazy and it is not a good look. So far I have been loving how this and I will give you more of an update once the warmer weather comes.


Shampoo and Conditioner:
This did not wow me at all. I have found better at the drug store. It wasn't bad, I only got two uses out of it so maybe if I had more to sample I would have had better things to say about it.


Dry Shampoo:
The jury is still out on this one. I was not wowed when I first used it and I think its because I have used better. It does give a little texture to my hair but I much prefer my bumble and bumble pret-a-powder. It doesn't give me the volume that I get with the bumble and bumble product.


All in all I think this is a good way to get to know this brand and I do really like it. Once the weather turns warmer I will know how I really feel about the sea salt spray. I have high hopes for it but I know that my hair is harder to control in high humidity.

It Cosmetics

Hey Guys!


Today I was to talk about my two favorite products from It Cosmetics. I know that everyone talks about their cc cream but it is worth every cent. This foundation is light weight but covers any spots for a flawless look. I not only love this for the summer so that I don't have a long make up routine but during the winter time this is a life saver, adding the hydration that I need when my face is  on the dryer side. With all of the vitamins I feel like my skins looks even better when I take my makeup off than it did the morning before I put it on. Basically this foundation will never leave my collection; forever a staple for when I was an easy flawless look.




Ever since It Cosmetics came out with their brushes with Ulta I knew I wanted to at least get one. I may have a lot of foundation brushes but I couldn't help buying the airbrush OMG! foundation brush this puts on all my foundations perfectly. I love how it is bigger than a lot of the foundation brushes I already have (which is how I justified buying ;)) but this bad boy seriously puts on my makeup faster than I thought. It easily blends everything out beautifully. With it being so big I didn't expect to like it for my under-eye area; shockingly I love it! The curved edge glides under my eye so effortlessly that I have no need to use my concealer brush when using this one.
