As someone who has naturally fine, wavy hair, I’m on a constant quest to find that perfect product that will take my hair from limp and lifeless to full and voluminous and luckily, I’ve finally found that product in Jonathan Product Create Root Volume Brushable Lifting Spray. This aerosol root volumizing spray adds body and volume and provides a strong, brushable hold while maintaing style - even in high humidity. I spray it at the roots of my bangs for a hold that lasts all day long with out making my hair sticky or greasy. Both products also have thermal and UV filters to protect against color fading and damage from heat styling- truly impressive!

Cost: $28.

Benefit Sheer Cream Blusher comes in three different colors all of them with great names like, “Hush!”, “Shh!”, and “Ohh”. The packaging alone was enough to sell me, but tied in with the great names the girly part inside of me just had to buy it. The good news is it’s on par with Nars Creme Blush as being the best cream blush out there. It’s easy to apply since it comes in a small squeeze tube that DOES NOT push out too much product, but in fact takes some muscle to get a small amount. I then tap it into the tube to get it all mushy and warm and then rub it into my cheeks and viola a healthy natural flushed look.

I know $18 dollars seems like a lot for blush, but trust me it’s worth it. I’ve tried drugstore cream blushes and they do the job, but they don’t make you go “WOW!” and I was tired of settling so I went to Sephora, fell in love with the packaging and fell even harder in love with the color. FYI, if you know what color is best for you sometimes getting it on ebay can help save you a couple bucks.

Cost: $18.00

Smashbox O-Gloss is an, “Intuitive lip gloss with Goji Berry-C Complex“. Which pretty much means it’s supposed to work on all skin tones by magically turning into the perfect color and even though I’m about to recommend it I don’t and in fact KNOW, it doesn’t work on every skin tone.

But it did work for me. Let’s put it this way, there was no way in heck I would EVER shill out $22.00 for a gloss if I truly didn’t love it beyond measure and couldn’t find a less expensive version. And trust me I tried. It comes in a great pink tube that goes on clear before heating up to turn a gorgeous berry pink. It really is different on everybody, but it will always turn some shade of pink. It’s slick feeling, not sticky at all and it never once made my lips feel dry or crummy. I would use it just for it’s moisturizing abilities, but the color really puts it over the top. I will say that like most glosses it doesn’t last all day and you will need to carry it with you to reapply later. I’ve noticed that after an hour and half it’s time to reapply, but since I’m a habitual gloss user I do that anyway.

If you’ve tried this product please let me know what you thought about it. I would %100 recommend that you try it out before buying it since it is different for everyone.

Cost: $22.00
