Merit Beauty Brush No.1 BLENDING BRUSH Review ✨

I’ve never used merit beauty before now, so when I got a email saying they wanted to do a collab with some products I didn’t know what to expect. Now I can happily say I’m so happy they reached out to me because I think I found my new foundation brush ! I’m a more beauty blender type of girl. I used to try and use foundation brushes but the way my makeup looked when it dried always looked like I was painting my face and forgot some spots. Their brush had such an amazing apply and finish I fell in love! The brush feels so soft to touch and I love the sizing of it, it’s not to big but it’s not to small. It works very well with putting on concealer and contour, so you can complete your entire base with this one brush!

I made a tiktok video showing you have I used it to create an easy everyday makeup look, you can watch that here:

The 5 Best Curly Hair Products To Try On Your Curly Hair Journey ✨

I’ve been a curly girl for some time now. I first did my big chop my sophomore year of high school and never touched that creamy crack again! Since then I have tired so many curly hair products I probably couldn’t remember half of them but there were some that let a lasting impression on my curls and I feel it’s only right I share with my fellow curly heads. With my affiliate links I will show you my top 5 curly hair products I recommend. These are my favorite products I’ve used throughout my curly hair journey.

1. Miss Jessie‘s Curly Pudding.
   

Even though it may be more on the pricey side then other curly products, it is worth the price honestly. My curls have always come out smelling amazing, which is the most important part lol, bouncy, soft and shiny. I can also achieve very tight curls with this curly pudding and they don’t disappear throughout the day! One other very important thing is even if I used to much product, I’m not left with the ugly white flakes of dried up product that’s left on your hair when it doesn‘t dry right. So many times a beautiful curly afro was ruined by white flakes! You can find this on Amazon at a better price then normal, for $10

2. SheaMoisture Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream

Shea moisture was my number one for a long time before I found Miss Jessie’s but don‘t get me wrong shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie is still a great product for my curls. I love the thickness and consistency of this product, it makes it easy to use a little at a time, so it can last longer. My hair seems to absorb the cream well and it drys nice to a very soft light curl. It almost feels like there’s no product in my hair at all. You can find this on Amazon for $11

3. Curls Blueberry Bliss Twist-N-Shout Cream

Well, first lets just start with the fact that it smells like blueberry, and then lets talk about that fact that it’s even the color blue my favorite color ! I usually use this curly hair product when I want to have a really fluffy twist out. It’s great at keeping the curls in a twist out soft and defined from root to end. Which I really love because I hate puffy roots. Almost on the pricey side but another worth it product ! You can find this on Amazon for $15 🛍 : https://amzn.to/3fhE7ct

4. Cantu Coconut Curling Cream

This was one of my first curly hair products in my hair regimade. This is a great product for new people to the curly head crew. A very light water based product. I loved to use this when I had my big chop mostly because of how moistured it made my hair and how well it defined my curls. As my hair grew through I found my hair was not really feeling this like before, my curls looked heavy to me, I saw my hair also wasn‘t absorbing the product like I would like it to. So if you just big chopped or your about to I would try this out to start with. You can find this on amazon for $6 🛍 : https://amzn.to/3GjrsBW

5. Pattern Styling Cream

I‘n not going to lie I wasn’t going to try this at first. I usually don’t even think about getting celebrity hair products and then I saw the prices and really wasn‘t going to get it, but then I was in Burlington and saw they had it on sell so I decided to try it and I’m so happy I did ! This styling cream is so amazing ! The way it left my curls light and bouncy I was really impressed. The second and third day hair wasn’t bad either. After a while I had the whole collection and it didn’t disappoint ! You can get it on Amazon for a bundle deal with the leave in conditioner for $31 🛍: https://amzn.to/33bECCr
