Quick and to the point-
"These are a few of my favorite things" (in my best song voice, which isn't all that hot haha). There 5 items that I have been using frequently! I do not use/ or have very many products simply because I am the girl who likes to get up and go. I am to lazy to wake up earlier to do my hair and make up, especially because I work out everyday, just thinking about getting ready and then taking my make up off before working out sounds exhausting.
1. Maybelline Pumped Up! Colossal waterproof mascara- I am a mascara kind of girl. That is about all I have the patience for. I had been hearing tons of review on this mascara from the YouTube videos I watch and decided to give it a try myself, and I LOVE IT. My lashes are voluminous, long, and there is minimal flaking. Awesome! I can even go through a water polo practice with my lashes looking fabulous!
2. Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water- I am a huge fan of Lush's toner waters.I use Tea Tree Toner after washing my face morning and evening. Since it was summertime, I started to use the toner as a "refresh" in between swim lessons and workouts. I started to find that Tea Tree began to be a little aggressive on/for my skin with using it more regularly, so I stopped by my local LUSH to visit my great friend Lauren (here is her link to her blog, CHECK IT OUT!) and she suggested Breath of Fresh Air, and of course I'm sold!. Since BOFA is jam packed with aloe, rose, and herbs the product helps deliver a soothing feel still having the antibacterial proprieties that the Tea Tree Toner offers.
3. Batiste Dry Shampoo- Well like everything else, I am lazy, so of course I hate washing my hair, I will go 3-4 days without washing it. Thankfully my hair doesn't smell awful after a couple workout days, or no one has said anything haha. I feel that this shampoo helps give me volume, a clean feel, and clean smell, and that's all this girl needs! This brand is definitely one of the better brands I have tried. They have tons of smells ( I tend to go for the "clean" smells) and they even have a spray that has a color tint to it, so you don't have to worry about having any left over powder residue because its the color of your hair! AWESOME!
4. it's a 10 miracle leave in conditioner- I used to use this regularly when I was in high school since I struggled with dry damaged hair from being in the pool everyday for 2 hours at a time. Since then I always pick a bottle up every summer to give my hair the extra moisture that it needs. They do also sell another type, that has additional keratin in it. I tend to stay away from that one because the shampoo/conditioner that I use has keratin complex in it, and if I do both my hair tends to get super dry, and straw like, due to the overdose in protein.
5. The Wet Brush- after reading other blogs, I decided to give this brush a try and like everything else, I am so glad that I did! I can throw my hair up in a bun, go through a polo/swim practice, take my knotted nasty bun out and brush my hair out nicely, no pulls, yanks or tears shed with this brush! I also feel like I have less fall out while brushing. This is my go to if I don't have a wide tooth comb on me. I have 2 of these, one in my swim bag, and one in my room, so I have it when I need it most!
These products help with my minimal maintenance through the summer months, hopefully they can do the same for you!
Thanks for reading!
