Perfect Gifts: High End

• Fragrance: The latest scent that has been rocking my senses is the Michael Kors "Midnight Shimmer". Usually I'm not a girly girl when it comes to perfumes. I like vanilla because it calms my anxiety, so I could live my life knowing that I smell like a walking vanilla bean. However, this scent is like vanilla mixed with a hint of like spicy almost.. but a good spicy.. a sexy spice. Now until the 27th, at Ulta Beauty, you get a huge FREE weekender bag with your fragrance purchase.

• Makeup: The Anastasia of Beverly Hills- Modern Renaissance Palette has the perfect mixture of neutrals and some pop of romantic colors. I've noticed that a lot of MUA seem to use the more burgundy shade in the outter-V or all over the crease. The pigment of each shadow is beyond exceptional and very easy to blend. It's been sold out a few time already, so it's obviously a fan favorite.

• Anastasia of Beverly Hills- Glow Kits are honestly so beautiful. They add such shine to your cheeks for that natural glow. You can add it subtly or pay it on for that ultimate glow. I like the quirkiness of the Moonchild glow kit, but the one that is overtstocked at Ulta is Sun Dipped and it's honestly so pretty for that golden shine.

• Maybe they're a lipstick lover? Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipsticks are actually the shit. They're pretty pigmented and they do stay on for a considerable amount of time. I work it during my shift at work and when I went to drink out of my water bottle I looked in the mirror and noticed it feathered or wore out a wee bit. But it wasn't anything I wasn't uncomfortable with. The shade Bawee by Lilly Singh is a beautiful classic red, but the shade I tried was called "Chill Zone" which is a pretty rad grey shade. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but so worth a try.  

• Even though Benefit products seem to run a little pricey, I 100% recommend and rave about this Roller Lash mascara. It's absolutely amazing! It keeps your lashes curled and lengthens them to no-end! It almost looks like it adds fibers to your lashes.. that's how long it makes them look! It's lightweight so it's not going to make your lashes fall like other mascaras tend to do for me. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

Pravana: The Perfect Blonde Leave-In Treatment

As very few of you might know, I drastically reinvented my hair. I've done a previous post on my "Hair History", where I share all my past hair dying experiences. This time, I have decided to go platinum! Honestly, I told myself don't ever go blonde because it's pretty damaging for your hair...but then I also thought..life's short! Go for it! (the filter makes it look a tad bit warmer)

Karissa Pukas

And I got a pretty good nudge from my all time favorite Youtuber, Karissa Pukas. You can just tell that ever since she's gotten her hair bleached and toned, her whole attitude changed and she's even more of a badass. I'm also really enjoying the the paler look as well from her!

Let's get into it then shall we? Obviously when I first got this done my hair was completely dry and I needed something to quickly revive my hair. I decided to dabble more into the brand Pravana because of Desi Perkins in one of her favorites videos. She swore by the Blonde Shampoo by Pravana, and although I so desperately want to try the shampoo and conditioner.. the price isn't so forgiving for not so big bottles. So I decided on this moisturizing spray as a start.

My First Impression/Review:

I believe the claims are all absolutely correct. It definitely brought the moisture back into my hair. It's so silky soft and it's nice and lightweight. My ends still feel a wee bit dead, but it's a much better improvement. Definitely detangling and has brightened my hair as well-I believe it could be more brighter if I used the whole Blonde system however. It smells lovely and it's just an overall excellent product. I recommend this to anyone who plans on going blonde or needs some hair revival! Shop the brand online and in stores at Ulta!
