it's a 10
i am normally a fan of multitasking products because typically you lose efficacy and performance with every additional task. for example, a mascara that does 2 things will only do those things half as good as 1 specialized mascara. hence, most in the know layer different specialize mascaras.
i found an exception: it's a 10. a multitasking hair care line that continues to wow me. the miracle leave spray conditioner was my first dip and I was blown away that it was so lightweight and effective. did what it said it was going to do, smelled good and did weigh anything down. my hair has multiple personalities: color-treated, a slight natural wave, slight oily scalp and dryer ends from heat tools and the horrid winter ends; so to have 1 product that can tackle all of it is really just a gift. my other favorite thing is that there are several collections that they offer for different hair needs. i love this because i can switch out collections as my hair's needs change, which tends to happen seasonally.
the best part is that they are cruelty-free, a *very* important thing for me. performance and critter-friendliness so go so well like this all the time.

winter skin tips
winter skin tips by tiia-lin featuring tarte blush
winter is in full swing here in utah, and my normally oil-slicked skin in noticing.
here are list of 5 quick tips if you're skin needs are little winter rehab.
scrub:: exfoliation is key year round, but winter it's needed to reveal health skin that can better absorb what you put on top.
moisturize:: even oily skin can use a richer moisturizer come winter (if not on the face, then the body definitely) if your are of the normal to oily set and nervous about a heavy moisturizer, try adding a serum or BB cream to your routine.
luminize:: if you have particularly dry skin, a luminizer mixed with your moisturizer or foundation can add the dewiness. bonus, many luminizers now have some moisturizing properties.
hydrate:: drink water! you moisturize from the inside out as well as outside in. this will also help flush your system of the heavy meals, alcohol, and traveling we just came out of.
moderate:: not maybe people consider this, but hot showers and baths (while glorious) dry the skin out. take your shower are at a lower temp, or if you can bear that, cool it down for your final rinse.

hot pink lips
spring beauty trend 1 by tiia-lin featuring a neon lipstick
hot pink on the lips is expected to be a big trend for the warm weather, but you can bring some spring early by wearing it now. the least intimadating options are going to be glosses and tinted lip balms.
remember to go light on the eyes and blush so your lips will catch the eye.
