Hi Kate,

I have been following you now for years. It all started off with your Hair Tutorials on YouTube. I love how you have grown and evolved and thought us all a thing or two. I’ve tried so many of your hair tutorials and bought a few recommendations. Thanks for the giveaway. Looking forward to see what is next πŸ™‚

XO- Alisa

I love watching your favorites videos. You always do a great job explaining what specifically is good with the product and who it would be best for, even if not great for you personally. I also love seeing your personality come through. Your reaction to the Anthropologie lipsticks, happens to me at least once per week. Nice to know I am not the only impulsive/emotional shopper πŸ™‚

Clearly I’m not the only one who loves these products! The Fresh Cream by Philosophy is EXACTLY how they describe it on their website “wrapped in comfort”. Amen to that! Luckily I’ve tried the Dr. Jart Mask and Kevin Murphy spray thanks to Birchbox and have to give them kudos as well! I continue to love this blog for the inspiration and beauty help!

Just a suggestion for your next giveaway. You might want to consider moving the COMMENT box to the top of the COMMENT section so that your readers don’t have to wait for over 3000 comments to load. I can’t get to the COMMENT box because that many comments crashed my computer.

Preach the Fresh Cream!!!!

And, I assume you got sucked in to Anthropologie’s big ol sale like I did? I mean, all “home” was 20% off including the beauty stuff. THEN the whole store was 25% off! I got some Albeit – lipstick and the perfume.

Purology Smooth Perfection. Maybe I should try? The only shampoo/conditioner that has ever smoothed my hair is the Fekkai Shea Butter formula. I use it on days I’m straightening and then add that It’s a 10 spray stuff. That combo is the only thing that tames my mom. BUT maybe I should try this Purology???

BUT I feel like I have had post-partum hair loss. Without the partum part, dangit. I want babies! I digress. Seriously, my hair is thinning. Age? I don’t know what do with not-thick hair. Could I pay you to come by your house and figure this out? I’ve wanted to try that crown stuff you’ve talked about for years but don’t know if it will work on me. Tutorial in exchange for babysitting? Wait, I’d babysit for free any time. For real. Rambling… Who even knows if you’ll get to reading this. I know you are a busy girl with a full life.

I HAVE to know what blush/bronzer/magic you are wearing in this video! You always look beautiful, but this makeup look is ah-mazing. The video started and I asked myself, “What the HECK does she have on her face?? I must know! And I must buy all of it!!!!!!”. And you are very calm with a spider crawling all over you. I’m impressed. I would have screamed, jumped out of the chair, and probably kicked the camera over. πŸ™‚

I absolutely love your blog and videos. I’ve learned so much in the past couple of years watching. I am a 2nd grade teacher and you are a great teacher of all things beauty! I finally learned how to style my hair in various ways. I love all the tarte products you use. I also love It cosmetics. You should try their stuff if you haven’t. Huge fan of both. I also started using Radiant Compkex brow and lash serum. I have puny lashes and brows. It is amazing. Got it on Amazon. It is supposed to be comparable with Latisse. I’m also a huge Rodan and Fields fan. I’m 40 and my skin has never looked better. Anyways, keep up your blog. I also just watched Justin’s story. I’ll be praying for your family and I’m so glad he has used this to reach out to others for Christ. Merry Christmas!
