EVOLVh UltraRepair Masque as a pre-color treatment
I’ve colored my hair for the last 15 years pretty religiously. I’ve learned so much throughout that time, especially after getting my cosmetology license. I’m always happy to share when I discover something hair-changing, so I’m going to let you in on a little secret I learned during my interview with Boris Oak, founder of…

Boris Oak & SmartBody by EVOLVh
I first found EVOLVh hair products while living in Fort Worth, Texas. I came across the line in a small store called Natural Grocers; one of my first ever blog pieces was about those products. I never dreamed I’d be sitting across from the founder a year later to learn more about his company!…

FitGlow Lip Serum
Obsessed. I honestly could stop there, and let that be my review, but I’ll go on. I’ve heard about these Lip Serums* for a while and have been aching to try them. Every single person I’ve seen wearing them looks gorgeous: the colors always seem to compliment their skin and their lips look plump…

Sultra Hairstyling Irons
Way back when I was in cosmetology school, I shadowed as an apprentice in a salon. I got to learn the various workings of salon life, as well as see and try various tools of the trade! One of the professional tools I got to try, was none other than Sultra’s straightening iron. It…

Tiila Abbit: Founder/Creator of Athr Beauty
I arrive at Ritual Coffee in the trendy Mission District of San Francisco. Tiila (pronounced Tyla) walks in and warmly offers a hand and a smile. I am instantly taken aback by her cool girl swagger – she is everything you’d picture the creator of Athr Beauty to be. Tall, perfectly tousled hair, and a…

Ghost Light Illuminator
There’s nothing like a shimmering highlighter to show off your bone structure and make you look fresh and healthy. I can’t stop reaching for Ghost Light by Rituel de Fille*. It’s a pearlescent illuminator that gives me a candlelit glow no matter what light I’m in. I really love how it can be amped up to…

Mason Pearson Popular Brush
There is an ever-elusive unicorn of a hairbrush…a.k.a. the Mason Pearson*. It’s one of those special tools you hear about being used by celebrities and royalty, and you hope and dream that one day you too can have this special hairbrush. If Rapunzel had a hairbrush, this would be it. Lucky me, my sweet husband…

EVOLVh SmartVolume & SuperFinish
As a licensed hairdresser, and I’ll admit, an absolute product junkie, you know I’ve tried a lot of products over the years; and not just on my own hair. I’ve worked with every texture you can think of (personally? I LOVE uber curly hair; alas I was blessed with very very straight hair). Given the…

Ellis Brooklyn Myth Perfume
Ellis Brooklyn Myth*: my newest obsession. Why hadn’t I ever seen or heard of this brand before??? The full-sized bottles were elegant; the gold lettering jumping off the matte black label, a heavy-looking black cap adorning the top. A quick scan of the page led me to the name Bee Shapiro, the creator of Ellis…
