Best Hair Masks for Damaged Hair
No matter the style, type, texture, or condition of your hair, it could always use a little extra love. We put our hair through a lot on the daily; and just like your skin and body, it could use some pinpointed attention once in a while.
April DemarcoPublished 6 years ago in BlushSurprisingly Effective Oil Cleansers for Oily Skin
Many of us, and I mean many of us deal with oily skin on a daily basis. Not only does your face look like a grease ball throughout the day, but your skin feels tacky, damp, and just plain gross. But if you're loving your oily, dewy skin, go you. But others who hate the fact that sunlight can easily be reflected off of our shiny foreheads are desperate to find something to help balance out the oils on their faces.

What is one of the biggest trends right now, and has been for years? Health, being fit, prolonging this life as long as we can. I think we can all agree that health is one of the most important things we care or should care about. We all want to be around for the things that matter most in our lives. When it comes to this subject people think about fitness, their heart, dieting, and living a more natural life. Everyone usually forgets the one part of health that you should really care about, the part of your body that holds you all together...literally your SKIN!
Amazing Cruelty-Free Beauty Products That Cost Less Than $10
All of us should really start getting into cruelty-free beauty products. Not only are they great in quality, but animals aren't being harmed during the process. If we're using a beauty product that we know was tested on animals, we lose our attraction to the product. The fact that we know an animal was harmed in the making of that eyeliner or that eye cream, we don't want to use it. It basically makes us feel so guilty to use a product that placed the life of an animal at risk just to create it hard for us to enjoy — I'm not into that at all.

South Korea is renowned for having quality skincare. Over the past couple years, Korean skincare has grabbed the attention of the West with its affordable and highly effective facial products. Korean skincare is also notorious for having a large range of products that may be overwhelming to Westerners who are unfamiliar with such products. The 10-step Korean skincare routine has recently gained attention by its (perceived to be) lengthy, complicated process, and by the people who swear by it. While many people believe they do not have time for a daily 10-step skincare routine, one might be surprised how undemanding the practice actually is.
Kimiko NakamuraPublished 6 years ago in BlushCheap Skin Care Products That Work Just as Well as the Luxury Brands
If there's one beauty-related category that most people will tell you to splurge on, it's skin care. We can always use cheap eyeliner reasonably well, and lip gloss? Well, you can DIY that pretty easily. Even cheap foundation can be fairly decent if you know where to look.

Best Makeup Brushes You Can Get on Amazon
Oh, I know just how pricy makeup brushes can be. And if you're aiming for the best quality, just like most of us, then they're no doubt going to empty your wallet. Buying makeup brushes straight from stores can be super expensive. But I'm not talking about sets of brushes — just one single brush can be about $20 - $50. I'm serious; there are solo brushes that are $50, possibly more. Do you know how many good quality brushes you can buy with $50? You don't need to drop that much on just one brush.

Dry shampoo is a total savior for not only days that you woke up late and didn't have time to wash your hair, but for your head's healthiness as a whole. So many people use dry shampoo on the daily to prevent them from having to overwash their hair, while giving them a put together look, minus the oil.

The Ordinary: Worth the Hype?
It is an understatement to say that The Ordinary skincare range has caused a bit of a stir in the blogosphere as of late. Not all of the feedback has been good, with some criticisms that the strength of the active ingredients may be compromised by the affordable packaging and that the simple formulations are not as sophisticated as even marginally more expensive products.

How to Look Good on No Sleep
Women are good at faking it, we all know this. We fake confidence, we fake “having it all together” and of course, on occasion, we fake it in the bedroom. That’s not where the pretending ends though, after a night of no sleep, whether it be from a cranky baby or a late booze-filled night, we are sometimes forced to fake a well rested and motivated game face.
Jus L'amorePublished 6 years ago in Blush Best Lipsticks Under $10 That People Actually Swear By
Many people don't know this but makeup is actually pretty pricy, especially if you want good quality. There are products out there with outrageous costs that sometimes aren't even close to what we expected. And, of course, we want to spend money on things that are top quality — especially if we're dropping $30 to even $60 on a makeup product. But, you don't have to waste so much money on makeup. Believe it or not, there are makeup products out there that are really cheap and still give amazing results.
