Hair: I cannot live without Barry Fletcher's Herbal Hair Grease. Holy. Grail. It manages to serve as a moisturizer and a sealant, plus it's just as effective on wet hair as it is on dry hair. I also rely heavily on products by SheaMoisture and Camille Rose Naturals.
Makeup: If I have two minutes to wake up my face, I'm grabbing my Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream and my NYX Eyebrow Pencil. The CC Cream gives me a glowy, airbrushed face and the eyebrow pencil keeps my eyebrows from looking patchy.
Skin care: I've fallen in love with African Black Soap to cleanse my face. I swear by all natural grapeseed oil to remove makeup, oil cleanse and moisturize. Oh-and when I have an acne breakout, Mario Badescu products clear me up.
Nails: My nails get minimal attention these days. I rely on good old Sally Hansen Hard as Nails clear polish for the most part. It's amazing the difference a coat of clear polish can make when compared to naked nails.
Fragrance: I've been wearing for Clinique Happy Heart for years, but I don't wear it all the time. I keep small bottles of random body spray, oils and lotion everywhere and I anoint myself at will throughout the day. I love to smell fresh like soap and clean laundry with an undertone of sweetness.
Beauty Indulgence: Currently, my favorite indulgence is ‘Hair Day’. I have a lot of hair and I like to care for it myself for the most part, so when I have the opportunity (no kids around), I enjoy spending the whole day pampering my hair and giving it the attention it doesn't get on the regular.
