Brooke's Looks

I'm here to make you look (and feel) good.
I love crazy nail polish. I’ve been getting sick of the plain old colors, though they can be great. I recently discovered a brand called Butter London. They make a wide range of unique and crazy colors that are toned, glittery, and exciting! My favorite (shown above) is The Black Knight. It’s a deep purple shade with different swirls of the shade when in the sun. It’s multicolored glittery and overall really awesome. You only need to apply two coats of this shade, it’s kind of thick - but not goopy. Apply like a regular polish and enjoy :) This product is a more expensive polish, it costs $14 + shipping from www.butterlondon.com - it’s totally worth it. It’s a large bottle and such a unique shade. The picture doesn’t even show how unique it is. You might also be able to fine it on www.amazon.com for less :)

Lately everyone keeps complimenting my hair, I entirely attribute this to my new favorite hair product: TIGI’s Head Rush. This is a shine spray that you spritz on to your hair after blow drying or styling it. It’s amazing. A It leaves your hair feeling soft and silky while leaving it shiny and non-greasy. The spray is weightless and works with every hair type. It also enhances your hairs natural (or unnatural) tones and highlights. Just apply lightly, not much is necessary for a nice sheen. Don’t over spray or it can leave you feeling aware of the product. This can be purchased at CVS, Walgreens, Harmond, or any local drugstore of choice. It costs around $15.00 and is worth every penny.

I love to keep my skin glowing and soft 24/7.. I especially love being able to maintain my tan, moisturize, and smell delicious all at the same time. Hempz Pomegranate Herbal Body Moisturizer helps me do all of these things. It’s  made of 100% pure hemp seed oil, which helps promote and maintain skin health and helps maintain your tan. Hempz makes wide variety of scents in the moisturizer, including scents such as vanilla plum, citrus blossom, as well as cucumber & jasmine. All of which smell great, but pom is my scent of choice. All of their lotions are sheer and absorb well. Their aroma not overwhelming but subtle and delightfully light. Hempz lotions can be purchased at local tanning salon, such as Beach Bum Tanning. It can also be purchased online at www.ulta.com, or in their retail stores. This lotion costs around $23 for a large bottle, 17 oz, so it lasts a long time!

I love blush. It makes us look so alive and healthy but finding the right blush can be really hard. Some wear off quickly, others are just the wrong color, and some can make you look overly caked. That’s why I love Tarte’s Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush. Tarte’s blush has a wide range of colors: from corals, to berry shades, to delightful light pinks. Not to mention that it’s infused with natural clay that helps it last for 12 hours, total win.  The clay is great for those who have dry skin, it’s extremely nourishing and hydrating. It minimizes pores and not to mention it’s Allure’s beauty winner! My favorite shade is tipsy, a coral shade that works great on all skin types. This can purchased at Sephora and online at www.sephora.com for $25. Also directly at www.tartecosmetics.com.

Despite my love of head and shoulders, I don’t believe in always using a dandruff shampoo. It can leave your hair feeling flat, oily, and yucky if you over use it. So, five days a week I use something else, Organix. I recently discovered their acai berry avocado shampoo (and conditioner) and I love it. It leave my hair feeling fresh, bouncy, and shiny. It smells delicious, it feels delicious.. and it even sounds like it would taste delicious, though I don’t recommend trying it. They sell both a shampoo and conditioner, I recommend using both for the fully wonderful effects. They work like a salon shampoo but are about half the cost. The conditioner even has Moroccan oil, which leave a lovely sheen.  This shampoo and conditioner is great for all hair types, even colored hair. Organix can be purchased at CVS, Walgreens, or your drugstore of choice. They come in a wide variety of scents and only cost around $7 each. Quite the steal.

I hate flaky mascara as much as the last person. I’ve complained and complained, ranted, and raved until someone finally enlightened me about this product (thanks Michelle!). Lancome’s Cils Booster XL is perfection. This is a white toned primer that you apply lightly, with just one sweep, on your eye lashes before applying on your mascara. It helps lengthen, strengthen, and especially prevents clumping and flakes (my biggest issue). You cause use this as the base to any mascara, as I’ve mentioned I currently use Kat Von D’s, which clumps less than any other mascara I’ve tried. However, flaking is a major issue with every product I’ve tried to date. Cils Booster XL has completely gotten rid of all of these issues for me. It’s a miracle product! This product can be purchased at www.lancome-use.com as well in Macy’s (and their website), Sephora, and even Century 21.

Though I assume everyone has heard of the naked & naked 2 pallet.. I know that’s not true. Be mad at all your friends for not telling you about this product! It’s amazing. Twelve amazingly beautiful eye shadows that blend together wonderfully. I really can’t say I have a favorite color.. but I have a few favorite combination! I like to use the shade ‘Virgin’ on my upper eyelid, below my eyebrow area. This is a shimmery nude tone that look wonderful on all eye colors. Then I apply the shade ‘Sin’ on the eyelid, this color is an almost iridescent beige tone, with a shimmer. After applying that, I then use ‘Darkhorse’, which is a brown tone, on the outside corner of my eyelid and blend inward. This creates a brown, day time, smoky look. There are many many other colors in this pallet, the combination’s are endless. Not only are there 12 shades, the pallet also comes with an amazing eyeshadow brush and a small version of their primer (which is almost as good as too faced’s primer). This pallet, brush, and primer cost $50..which may seem like a lot, but it’s REALLY worth it. Especially for twelve colors! This can be purchased at www.sephora.com, in their stores, and also at www.urbandecay.com (they have a sale right now!).

I love lip gloss. Really, I’m an addict - constantly on the hunt for the perfect gloss and lipsticks. I’ve been using buxom lip gloss for as long as I can remember. They have a wide variety of shades in lipsticks and glosses. Many of which look good layered. Buxom is a great formula because it is a plumper but it has no tingling sensation. It also provides an amazing sheen, no matter the color. Their glosses are creamy and rich and last significantly longer than other brands it’s made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, GMOs, or triclosans… much more natural than many other products. I love more natural products because putting chemicals on your skin is never really a good thing. My favorite color is white russian, a creamy pale pink. It looks good for every occasion. However, they make (as I’ve said) a wide variety of colors to compliment all skin tones. This can be purchased at www.sephora.com and also at their stores. Each gloss costs $18+tax.

Let’s face it, we all get dandruff. It’s gross, it’s not fun, and no one even wants to admit they use a dandruff shampoo. For some reason preventing it, or treating it, is stigmatized. Well, I say screw stigma’s. I will admit it: I USE DANDRUFF SHAMPOO. There.. now that’s out, let me tell you what to use: Head & Shoulder’s Green Apple Shampoo. It’s rich, creamy, and delicious. It tricks you into forgetting it’s a dandruff shampoo.. not to mention it’s also a conditioner. I have a regimented hair system to prevent dandruff or dryness. Every 2 days I use my dandruff shampoo. On that that, I do NOT use a conditioner. I comb my hair out while in the shower. This shampoo + conditioner is great because you really DON’T need a conditioner when you use it. Some built in conditioners, in my experience, don’t work. However, this one really does. Head & Shoulders green apple dandruff shampoo+conditioner can be purchased at a local CVS or pharmacy. It’s available at www.drugstore.com for $6.49, it costs about the same in stores.
