Happy Show & Tell Tuesday!
I’m linking up with Andrea today and showing you my beauty routine :).
Um…I love this stuff and cannot wait to look through everyone else’s posts! I’m a beauty product junkie. I could walk around Ulta or Sephora for hours just looking at the products, so this post is totally up my alley.
I did a post a few months ago on my favorite beauty products. If you saw that post, this is going to be a repeat for you. I love many beauty products but these are my favorite here…
1. Dry Bar’s Triple Sec: So, last fall, I read in a magazine that Dry Bar made this incredible dry shampoo that doubles as a texturizer. When it was time for me to buy another bottle of dry shampoo, I stopped by my local Dry Bar and picked up a bottle (also available online at Sephora) and it is my favorite! Not only does it smell insanely good, but it doesn’t leave that nasty residue in my hair. I love, love, love this stuff!
2. OPI Polish: I am very partial to OPI and Essie polishes (I went on a Butter London kick for a while but I’m off them now…too pricey for too little results). My fingers and toes are always polished…my fingers are always something different but my toes are always, always, always OPI’s Mod About You. It’s the perfect pale pink that pops on your toes while looking clean and simple at the same time.
3. Rose Salve: I read about Rose Salve in a magazine (I learn such valuable things, right?!) years ago. I use this on my lips (many times throughout the day and especially before going to bed at night), I use this on my cuticles before painting my nails (and anytime they feel dry), I use it on my nose if it’s raw from blowing (thank you allergies)…I use it all the time. Love it :). You can find it anywhere (drug stores, Bath and Body Works, etc) but I typically throw one in my “cart” when I’m running low and need to order something else from Nordstrom.
4. Clarisonic: The Clarisonic will change your skin. Period. End of story. I love it. Everyone I know who has one loves it. It’s just perfection. I use mine every night before bed. I use the Clarisonic Mia.
5. Moroccanoil: Speaking of things that I love…Moroccanoil. I should be a spokesperson for this brand. I should be the face of this product My picture should be on the bottle…I love it that much. I have been using Moroccanoil for years (shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, curling mousse and oil) and it never lets me down. My hair is thick, very wavy and can be dry if I’m not taking care of it…and this stuff tames it. I add the oil to my hair every morning, after the gym and/or when I need to freshen it a bit. In this pic, I’m using the “light” bottle because they were sold out of the original when I went to buy some more and it works equally as well. I buy mine at a local salon but Amazon sells it too.
6. The Wet Brush: Next time you’re at Target, grab a Wet Brush. I have a regular sized one but the girls have a mini (pictured). This brush easily goes through wet and tangly hair without much effort. Kensington couldn’t live without it :).
7. Dr. Dennis Gross Glow Pads: If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know I love these Glow Pads for my face. I swipe one on about once a week for a nice little glowy tan. Since I try and avoid sun exposure (especially to my face!), these are a must for me. Seriously…you will swoon. Once box has 20 pads in it. I love these pads!
8. OPI Wipe-Out: I found these on Amazon. I was looking for a fingernail polish remover pad to take on trips because polish remover is the worst thing to pack (I feel like it always leaks!). One of these little pads can remove the polish from all 10 fingers (that includes my base and top coats). Easy peazy!
9. Crest White Strips: I have a love/hate relationship with White Strips. For a while, I switched to a gel that didn’t make my teeth quite as sensitive but the results just weren’t as good as White Strips. I’ve learned that if I use them every 3 days instead of every day, they make my teeth less sensitive. I drink too much coffee and tea not to use them…sigh. They work.
Right after my beauty product post, I did a post on

Have a great Tuesday!
For dinner tonight…
…my Portobello Pasta. I mean…you should really make this. You can even omit the sausage and keep the recipe vegetarian too :). So yummy!

I have still never curled my eyelashes. I need to get that Laura Mercier curler TODAY. And I need to try the Moroccan oil as well!
Sheri Banwart says
What do you put in the girls hair? My girls hair is a hot mess in the summer from all the swimming. I need help taming it.
Mix and Match Mama says
I put regular conditioner in their hair before they swim (I use something inexpensive like Organix from the grocery store) and then they swim with it in. I really think this helps a lot! If I don't do it, their hair is dry and brittle.
Meaghan Wynes says
Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion Spray. Love, love, love it – especially for the summer months!

Narci says
Love this post! I have a new list of products to try out!! So fun!!
Erika Slaughter says
I use all those hair products too-except those two BB hair products! Now I must try them!!! Good thing I'm headed to the mall today. ?
Lindsay James says
Bought my daughter a Wet Brush on your recommendation as she has very thick, wavy hair. What a lifesaver this brush is!
Sandy says
I made your Mexican risotto last night and it was delicious. I had never made risotto before because I had heard it can be difficult to get right, so thanks for dispelling that myth with your awesome recipe. Everyone loved it, including my picky 18 year old. Thanks for sharing!

Our hair types sound very similar, thick/wavy, and I'm obsessed with Bumble and Bumbles BB Creme De Coco tropical-riche Masque. I use it when my hair starts to feel gross and dried out. I'm also obsessed with Lush's Self Preserving Ocean Salt face and body scrub. It smells like a margarita and is handmade with fresh ingredients. It helps get rid of the dead skin. Happy product testing!
Robyn Marrie (Robyn's Nest of 5) says
You've given me some new things to try now! Thanks!
Colleen Sullivan says
I love seeing the products other people use because I usually have no idea what to buy for myself! I share the same love for OPI and Essie nail polishes — there is nothing better, in my opinion! And Mod About you is the best neutral!
JonesJunction4 says
Hi Shay, you have really great routines for your day/week/month. You seem to be intentional and consistent! How do you remember for example, what day to do your teeth whitening when you do it every 3 days among other things like setting your monthly goals etc. ?
Mix and Match Mama says
It's not always exactly 3 days…I typically kind of just think of it when I'm brushing my teeth but sometimes, I skip a day by mistake. I keep it right next to my toothbrush.
Leigh Clark says
I need to try the wet brush for my little girl – her wavy/curly hair gets so tangled if we let it grow much past a bob!
Mandi Moore says
Hi Shay, definitely one of my favorite link ups as well! I need to try that LM eyelash curler I've heard awesome things about it! And thanks for getting me hooked on Moroccanoil, I blogged about it too and gave you a shout out! Hope you can stop by and see some of my favs- most inspired by you lol!

Hey Mandi! You're so sweet! Heading over now :). It was good seeing you last week!!
Laci Murray says
I always love reading your beauty faves!! We share a love of Ulta, I could look for HOURS! 🙂
Blake Callahan says
Love those glow pads!!
The Nelson Happenings says
I use the eyeshadow primer ! I love it ! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Megan says
Hi Shay! I love Dr. Dennis Glow Pads too! I have been contemplating purchasing a Clarisonic as well, have you noticed if using the Clarisonic makes the color fade faster? Thanks, enjoy the day!

Mix and Match Mama says
I typically don't use it the first day I use a tanning towel but then after that, I use it nightly. I'm sure it fades it a bit but not too much to discourage me from using it.
Gretchen Braun says
So many great product recommendations! I agree about the whitening strips. They feel horrible but they work so much better than anything else.
Sarah says
Going through everyone's posts makes me want to buy everything. I need, yes need to get those nail polish wipes, like right now. Going on the list for things to get when I need to get to free shipping on Amazon 🙂
Kristy says
Love your recommendations! We share the same hair type and I've been in love with Moroccocanoil ever since you first blogged about it. Love trying new beauty products that others love. Do you have a favorite eye liner?
Beautifully Seaside // Formerly Chic Coastal Living says
I'll have to try out that face cleaner. I've heard good things about it. 😉
Aileen says
What kind of face wash do you use? I couldn't seem to find it in your other posts. I love love love your blog – you always have such amazing recommendations!
Sallie says
I love when you do these posts! I bought some of the Mod About You polish and get a compliment each time I wear it…definitely the perfect shade! Keeping the theme of nails, have you ever tried Sephora's Formula X? It takes about 10 minutes total to paint and let my nails dry and lasts 6-7 days. One of my most favorite beauty products for sure! (I just use my Opi and Essie colors with "the system") http://m.sephora.com/product/P382361
The Rodriguez Crew says
I'm wondering if you know about Donna Karen Cashmere Mist DEODORANT!! It has a cult following (google it, haha!)… You'll never use another deodorant (and you'll think the insane price tag is completely worth it, I swear!!) My husband and I both use it, ha!! You have to try it. 😉
Candace Wall says
I love this post! I too am a product junkie and I love my clarisonic! It's truly will change your skin. I just bought a once a week hair masque from Living Proof that I am excited to try. Thanks for sharing!
Lauren says
Hi Shay! Love these posts! I have a the Mia 2 clarisonic as well – do you also exfoliate a couple times per week or do you consider the Clarisonic an exfoliator? I love it as well but I'm wondering if I should also use an exfoliating cleanser 1-2 times per week.
Ericka Ware says
Do you have a good self tanner recommendation? Thanks. 🙂 -Ericka
Beth Schwarz says
Hi Shay! Have you ever tried Crest Whitening Rinse instead of the strips? I dislike the strips, too, and began using the Whitening Rinse in 2010 before my wedding:) At first, I rinsed my mouth with it every day, but now I just do it 1-2 times per week (more if I've consumed a lot of coffee that week!). A few dentist visits ago, my dentist asked me whether I routinely had my teeth professionally whitened. When I responded no and told him that I used the rinse religiously, he was shockeds by the rinse's result! I think the key to having the rinse be effective is consistent use. He did warn me, though, that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing–to be careful not to use it so much that your teeth begin to have a transparency to them. Just thought I'd share in case you're interested in an easier, more convenient, and effective alternative:)

Im late but did my favorites too 🙂
