Today I love... must haves

I'm pretty easy when it comes to beauty products. I don't wear a lot of makeup, and have a reputation for getting ready in 15 minutes flat. On the flip side, I'm fiercely loyal once I find products I love. Today I am sharing a few of those with you!

1 // African Black Soap // I can't stand fruity smelling body soaps, and have crazy sensitive skin, so stumbling upon this was a win win for me. 

2 // alba hawaiian lip balm // I made the mistake of looking at the ingredients list of my old lip balm and was immediately freaked out. This stuff is 100% vegetarian, and made of things I can actually pronounce. Not to mention it's like spreading a tropical getaway right onto your lips!  

3 // Burt's Milk & Honey lotion // The scent of their Milk & Honey lotion is so light and easy, and I love the richness of this lotion. It actually feels like it's moisturizing my skin instead of just laying on top of it.  

4 // Marrakesh KaHm // I absolutely LOVE the smell of this hair care line, and it doesn't leave the buildup in my hair like the It's a 10 products do. With my love of changing hair colors, and curling my hair, this also helps make sure I'm not walking around with a head of nasty nappy-ness!

5 // TokyoMilk DeadSexy No.6 // Hands down my favorite perfume. I originally picked this up at a boutique in Maryland when visiting LT, and have been reordering it ever since.  

What are some of your must-have's that I need to check out? 

Top 2 Tuesday : Top 2 Beauty Secrets

I skipped T2T last week, and missed it terribly. So I'm back again! This week with my Top 2 Beauty products.

1. Baby Oil

Yep, I use baby oil in place of lotion every time I get out of the shower. It makes my skin SO much softer, and since I have crazy sensitive skin, I don't have to worry about all the scents and other junk in fancy lotion. If it's safe for a baby, my skin can usually handle it! Plus, in the summer, it gives your legs and arms a nice soft glow!

2. CHI Straightening Iron

 

Nothing too fancy here. I use my straightener all the time.... and I mean ALL the time - not only does my CHI get my hair silky smooth or curl my hair better than any curling iron, I also use my CHI to get quick wrinkles out. (I use it just like an iron! Obviously you can only reach as far as the clamp but it works great if you have some wrinkles on the bottom of your shirt or want to straighten up a wrinkled scarf!)
