Try the Trader Joe’s mango shave cream if you have a TJs there. It’s a plastic container and cheap and amazing.

Love your earrings! Where are they from?

Try the Josie Maren SPF face cream. It’s not greasy.

So excited that this series is back! I love to hear what people love. I’m dying to try the Klorane!

I need to try that EOS shave cream again. I tried it a few years ago and felt like it was so hard to rinse out of my razor. But I love the idea of no metal container. I hate how weird it gets in the shower!

I have tried soooo many facial sunscreens, and I do think the Tarte tarts guard is a great one. Have you tried CoTZ Face spy 40 tinted sunscreen? I got one in a birchbox recently and was really skeptical because I had gotten another CoTZ sunscreen previously and HATED it. But this one was like magic in a tube! It is tinted, so it helped even out my skin color, but the best part is the mousse-like consistency. I didn’t feel the annoying mask feeling while wearing it, and it glided on so easily. Plus, I didn’t make me break out, which every other sunscreen has done to me. Totally worth a try!

I love the Cotz face tinted sunscreen too! The consistency feels velvety and not like sunscreen at all. It honestly feels more like a face primer. I tried supergoop a few years ago and hated it – very goopy and greasy.

You have to try Paula’s Choice face SPFs. There are lots of different ones for different skin types but you can get trials of all of them. Amazing and no greasy feel!

“Pluie” is French for “rain” 🙂 that’s a good descriptor for that color! I always love these videos and learning about what other people like, thanks!

I was going to comment that as well! Since “parapluie” is my favorite word in French!

Stephanie says · 07.22.16

Oh… and it’s pronounced ‘plu-ee’

Have you tried Neutrogena Dry Touch? I love it for my face since it is not greasy at all.

Agree! This is the only thing I’ve found that doesn’t cause me to breakout!

Love the favorites videos!!!
I find the EOS pump isn’t long enough to get all the product when you get to the bottom of the bottle. ?
Also-do you use a brush or your fingers to apply cream blush?
Hope to see you in August!!! ?

Kate,
I love your monthly favorites, please don’t stop!! Your hair looks beautiful!! Someone mentioned Josie Maran SPF face and I agree that is a great option if you haven’t tried it already!

Those Essie colours look great! And I’ve never tried before Klorane brand. Maybe I should fix that and buy something for test 🙂

My husband and I live in the middle of the Jungle in the Philippines as missionaries. Summer here lasts from February all the way to December! The humidity is typically around 90 percent all year. Which is brutal for my naturally curly hair. I would love to try the KMS product you mentioned, but my issue is I cannot get the aerosol can here. We cannot ship it or bring it on a plane. Do you have any other suggestions for combating humidity that isn’t in the form of an aerosol can? I feel like my only option is to wear my hair in a messy bun or a hat all the time. I love to wear my long hair curly but its a massive frizz ball as soon as i walk outside! Please help!!

Would love to try the pineapple scent!

Love the favorites videos!! I always want to run out and buy everything you talk about! Both of my parents have had skin cancer so I wear a facial sunscreen every day, even under my foundation. I’ve tried a ton of them (including tarte guard and the supergoop line) and the only one I have found that isn’t greasy or creamy at all is the Elta MD brand. It has changed my life in that I actually wear sunscreen daily now!

I can’t remember if this is the video you talked about Colgate Optic tooth paste but I was wondering if you can tell me exactly which one you use and if it has caused your teeth to be sensitive? I went to Walmart to get some and didn’t realize they made so many different kinds of Colgate Optic White. Thank you!

Picked up the Maybelline cream blush and I’m very happy with it! Thanks for the tip.

I love your hair! It always looks perfectly done. You mentioned you color your hair yourself, what brand and color do you use?

I know this is not mentioned but Im looking for a brown eyes liner. I prefer brown over black any day. I love the natural look. I have a Marky Kay brown but it hard so when I use it its really light. Do make it dark I have to rub hard which then hurt my eye lids. Do you have a recommendation. I have Marc Jacob’s in black that I love. Love your post and watching updates. You are just too cute.

I know you said you weren’t sure about using Klorane vinegar rinse, but vinegar (preferably apple cider vinegar) is an excellent way to get rid of all the product build-up on your hair. Shampoo alone won’t do this and the vinegar is very gentle on your hair. Maybe re-think using it once a month…
I love your blog!
