To end my top fave's segment, I decided to go into the realm of skin and haircare! 

• Aussie Moist Shampoo + Conditioner Set - As someone who likes to keep their haircare steps to a minimum, this Aussie set has been the key to solving all my haircare problems. As a newly natural haired girl, it was easy to get confused; What is my hair type? Can I use THIS on my hair? Will this dry my hair out? As I've been learning how my own hair works in its natural state, the moist line has been helping me keep my hair extremely soft and manageable. If you are new to the natural hair scene or looking into transitioning I would highly recommend this for any starters!
• Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser - When you're dealing with remnants of acne scars like me, the best thing you can do for your skin is continue to maintain it. This cleanser is my go to, it isn't the best if you currently have acne but it is able to help improve the firmness of your skin as well as smooth out any harsh lines.
• Clearasil Rapid Action Pads - This item is definitely my holy grail when it comes to clearing acne. Luckily, I haven't had any breakouts but I do encounter a few here and there once a month. To clear them up I just use this as a toner after my cleanser and it helps clear it almost overnight!
• Mederma Cream With SPF - The final step in my skincare process is sealing everything with my mederma cream. This helps remove existing scars caused by acne!

Honorable Mention

• Shea Moisture Curling Souffle - I've always been afraid to add gel to my routine as I thought it would make my hair dry and brittle. That is definitely not the case with this product! Not only is it moisturizing, but my hair is extremely soft afterwards! This is a great product to add to any wash and go routine.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun night tonight! If you happen to grab and Uber - snag your free ride using code: a436w. What are your plans for the night? Keep me updated in the comments below! x

Top 5 Beauty Products Of 2015.

As 2015 comes to a close, I've decided to recap my favorite products of the year! The products I've listed are pretty weather wearable. Whether you are bracing the snow on the East Coast, or chillin' poolside on the West - there's sure to be something for everyone.

• Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector - I actually picked up this product by mistake! After watching Natalie Halcro's everyday makeup video, I decided to check out some of the Becca products. As an oily skinned girl, the product itself winds up being less oily and more dewy. The end product is a sun kissed glow that's super flattering and also works as a great base for your foundation.
• Jimmy Choo Rollerball Perfume - ULTA had an amazing offer where they allowed you to receive a free robe with any purchase of fragrance that totaled forty dollars or more. Obviously I had to get in on the deal, so I snagged these two Jimmy Choo rollerball perfumes in Illicit and original. I'm not sure why I never thought to grab rollerball perfumes in the past but these things are handy! They fit right into my bag and give me the same long lasting smell as any perfume without the hassle of carrying around the bottle.
• Milani Power Lip Gloss - A friend of mind got me hip to snagging Milani lip products at Dollar General (High pigment beauty products for a dollar? Count me in!), so I obviously had to take the plunge and grab a few products! Unfortunately, the Milani section was wiped! But, I was able to grab two of their Power Lip glosses in creamy cafe and raspberry tart. The product is definitely pigmented and lasts long but you will need to reapply a few times throughout the day.
• Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - If you've gone through that crucial high school acne phase, you know that the scars they can leave behind are no joke. This foundation helps keep my skin matte while covering ALL of the remnants of my high school acne scarring. For someone like me, full coverage is a must and if you have any problems with scarring I highly recommend this product.
• Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector - Luckily, I don't have any issues with under eye darkness or bags, however, after seeing the results that Natalie Halcro had - I had to try this! This product gives you the perfect "Kim Kardashian" glam under eye look without appearing too bright. It's the perfect shade for any complexion and you can apply it over or under your foundation!

Overall, I was able to snag some great products this year but my holy grail would definitely have to be the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector. What were some of your favorite beauty products this year?

When I was on the East Coast - staying warm AND cute was not easy. On top of layering multiple pieces, you had to make sure that each piece would be a viable item to keep you warm. Wearing a dress in December was unheard of, and leaving the house without an ankle length down jacket wasn't an option. Now that I'm living in California, my wardrobe options have changed completely - and this little number is the perfect example. My winter accessory for staying warm on the west are the Uniqlo heattech items. These aren't your grandfather's long johns. Not only do they keep you warm, but they are the perfect item to layer due to their sheer nature and thin fabric. Paired with my suede thigh high boots and skater dress, they create the perfect effortless outfit without overdressing. What are your favorite winter accessories?
