Best Petrolatum-Free Lip Balms
Nothing beats organic lip balms to give you the right vitamins and minerals into your lips. While there are so many different types and flavors of lip balms out there, just which ones are natural? In fact, there are so many ways to moisturize our lips, from coconut oil to castor, do we really need the mineral jelly in our balms? Petrolatum in lip balms is the base of the balm, which is usually a jelly that lubricates. But there are definitely better and more natural ways to hydrate our lips.

Complexion Hits and Misses
Lemme start with saying PLS IF YOU HAVE NOT TRIED OUT THIS FOUNDATION YET, GO AND GET A SAMPLE!!!! Personally, Giorgio Armani’s luminous silk is definitely a holy grail in my books. It’s quite hard to explain, because it's luminous and glowy but still holds up all day and can be built to the fullest coverage or sheered down. Either way, it feels like you have absolutely nothing on your face, which is a major deal for me. Personally, I hate being able to “feel” my foundation on. I would say that luminous silk is good for all skin types, especially if your skin's dry and crusty like mine. If you have oily skin, I would use a primer and keep a compact to touch up throughout the day. It may sound annoying, but once you get this foundation on your face, touching up will see almost worth it. I personally don’t usually ever go for a full coverage look regardless of the day. I enjoy being able to see some of my skin peek through my foundation so I only use one pump of this foundation and in my opinion, I think one pump is perfect at just evening out your complexion. I’m not gonna lie, the foundation is a little on the pricier side, going for about $70 depending on where you live, but a little does go an extremely long way! I’ve had mine for about four months now and I still have half a bottle after testing and using it every day. Definitely a holy grail, and if you have the budget/ want to treat yourself, I would highly recommend!

Best Hair Dryers for Thin Hair That Add Volume
As for someone who has thin hair herself, it's literally the worst. When we want to style our hair with anything, from flat irons to curling irons, our hair will still look thin. In fact, it looks more thin even after styling it. Since we're pressing down on our hair with any hair appliance, this causes our hair to be and look even more thin. And most of us look past using a blow dryer, because we believe that they won't give us the best results compared to the other hair appliances. However, hair dryers are actually way better at styling your hair and giving you that thick-hair illusion.

I Used a Men's Razor for a Month, and This Is What I Noticed...
Yes that's right, I use a men's razor. And no, If you search “men’s vs. women’s razor” one of the top searches was, “can a woman use a man’s razor?” And “can a woman use a man’s shaving cream?” Uhh, of course you can! I still use my own shaving cream ('cause in that case, women’s shaving cream smells better. Ha) but the razor is a different story.
