Beauty: Four Products I Tried & Loved in January

Every month I try new products. This month my favorite products include hair, lashes and more. They are all very affordable, so you can try them too…

OPI Nail Polish

I love going to the nail salon because it’s a way of pampering myself. Plus, they have talented staff that can do fun designs like this leopard print. When I don’t have time to go, I use OPI polishes. So much that the Black and Tan are ones that I have at home. They are long lasting – coming for a mama who is on dish duty on a daily. 🙋🏽‍♀️ As long as you apply the right base and top coat. Which I am linking below for you to shop for those times when squeezing in a mani/pedi appointment is not on the cards.

Chi Hair Spray

I used to think that hairspray was a thing of the 80s! 😛 Now it’s sort of a necessity, especially because I have the tiniest, yet most stubborn little hairs that only hair spray can seem to tame. When it comes to brands CHI is truly one of my favorite hair brands. Their hairspray is also my fave because it’s light enough for everyday use and holds hair without making it tough, if you know what I mean.

Kiss Lash Couture

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that about a year and half ago I opted for getting lash extensions. In that period I have taken two breaks. The first time I went without lashes for about a month. The second time, I decided to explore other options – strip lashes.

That’s when I found these by Kiss. Don’t get me wrong, I can go without the lashes and do the good old curl and mascara trick but there’s something I love about full and long lashes even if they’re not my own.

These in my opinion are perfect because they add just the right amount of drama. Especially for someone like me who is not heavy into make-up. A pro is that I can put these on from the comfort of my home and not worry about appointments. The downside is the time it takes to apply. By now I should be a pro a this but I still take time to apply these – under 5 minute per eye.

Pearl Accent Headbands

I jumped on the headband wagon a little late last year but since, I’ve added a few to my collection. Pearl embellished headbands are just my favorite. I naturally love pearls – they’re the only earrings I wear! And being able to wear them on my head make me just as happy. 🙂
