I was watching the video and said to myself ‘her eyes are looking HUGE today’ and then you mentioned your lash lift and I realized that’s why!! So after seeing how amazing it turned out for you, I am calling a salon that I found in Richmond TODAY that does lash lifts/tints for $75. We mammas need all the help we can get to look more awake, am I right? As always, loved this favorites video and coincidentally, just order the Tarte Self Tanner, so I am thrilled to find it among your favorites and am hopeful that it won’t turn my translucent skin orange!

This list is great! And I love that it’s affordable to look this lovely. I’ve only tried St. tropez tanning before but excited to test out these other products!

Hey Kate!

First off, I love the video and I look forward to trying/ looking into the products you mentioned. Second, I follow you on Instagram and I just wanted to let you know that you’ve been KILLING it in the makeup department. OK, you’ve always been killing it, but I have been LOVING your eye makeup/ liner. Is there a certain tutorial (already on here) that I can reference to or would you consider making a tutorial for your current instagram story makeup? 🙂

I recently tried the St. Tropez Gradual Tan after the previous post you did on the product, and this stuff is amazing…I can’t even say how impressed I am.
Can you please tell us what the color is of the nail polish you are wearing in the video??

Love your videos! 🙂 Bummer about the shaving cream… But if you are looking for a good shaving cream (and have a Trader Joe’s nearby) you should try theirs!! It’s so good! And the ingredients are all really low on the EWG score. It’s Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Cream Shave (scent is Honey Mango). I love it!

Hi kate! I am a long time follower of your blog. I was wondering if you have any knowledge about products for rosaecea? My thirty-something skin is really struggling. I am a stylist as well and always enjoy your opinions and recommendations.

So I am sold on the redken shampoo and went to order it from your link. They are havinga 2 for $24 sale on the redken products (both shampoos) with a full size free gift of one of their masks. I ordered the redken mask on your rec a while ago (the one in the blue tube) and love it so I am trying the color extend mask. I am also trying one of the conditioners. Thought you might want to mention the sale! Thanks for your recommendations!

I REALLY wish you would explore the shampoos without sulfates because sulfates are BAD! I refuse to use any shampoo with sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates because they strip and dry your hair. I have no more static in my hair during the winter becasue I switched. So it makes me sad when you recommend awesome shampoos that I will never ever buy because of the sulfates.

I am not sure if going green is important to you but standard shampoos are a host of toxic chemicals as well. I would be interested in your take on sonething a bit more organic and chemical free 🙂

Question about the Kenra Texture/Hold spray: Do I apply it to dry hair prior to using the curling iron or should I curl first then give the hair a spray? Thanks!

Hi Kate! Have you tried the St. Tropez in shower gradual tan??

I’m so glad you posted about Redken Volumizing Shampoos. I didn’t know they had that and I definitely need that for summer. Thank you!

I’d *love* it if you let us know how the Redken conditioners work. You’ve sold me on the shampoos and I struggglleeee to get some volume in my hair.

Your skin looks absolutely amazing and your hair is perfect! I will try the volume shampoo out, my hair is very thin so it barely has any volume 🙁

Thanks for another great video! When will you do another “cubicle corner” chat vid? I really enjoyed the idea of you just turning your head and telling us cool things you’ve seen or thought about

I so went out and bought the Redken Beach Envy Shampoo and Pureology Hydrating conditioner combo! Basically bc I too live in NC and live for huge hair.🙌🏻 So excited to try it out! Thanks for the recommendations!!

I would love for you to do a review on Monat shampoo/conditioner. There are several ladies where I live that are selling it and claim they really love it.

Reply
Brittany says · 05.19.17

Hi Kate! In watching this vid it made me realize that you don’t use or talk about shampoos and conditioners specifically for color-treated hair as often as I would expect. Do you rotate those types, are they not as necessary to use to preserve the color, or what’s a good rule of thumb? Thanks!

I love the color of the Starbucks cup. I can’t find it in my local store and was wondering if you could post the link where to buy? Thanks!

Kate!! Your makeup is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in this video! Are you planning to do a tutorial (or at least give us the deets about products used) any time soon? It’s a little more dramatic, and I love it!

Reply
Katie says · 05.20.17

I ordered both shampoos and aquage last night!!! I have very fine and soft hair, do you recommend putting a texture spray on before I would curl it? Love your blog!!!

Hello! I’m a big fan of your site and love watching your Instagram stories! I just got tape-in hair extensions and I am struggling to find alcohol free product I can use! Do you have any recommendations for a hairspray or texture spray? Or a dry shampoo? Thank you!
