Rooted Beauty Lip Balm

Hey everyone!

As you all know, I am the self-titled queen of lip balms. I have tried a lot of brands out there, so when one really sticks out and becomes my favorite, you know it's a winner! Recently, I was lucky enough to received Rooted Beauty's lip balm in the mail, and I must say, it has become a quick favorite of mine. These all-natural, gluten-free lip balms have the best smell out there, and I love their texture and consistency. They are moisturizing without being oily, and my lips absolutely love them. Also, when you purchase these lip balms, you are aiding Rooted Beauty in their Woman 2 Woman Project. This project helps women in need escape bad circumstances to become self-sustainable. All in all, I'd say that these little lip balms do a world of good!

Look how cute these came packaged from Rooted Beauty! I always love when companies add that extra touch to their products.

Each lip balm came individually sealed, and in its own biodegradable tube! I love all of these lip balms equally, but my favorite scent of the three has to be Razz Lime! It smells just like PEZ candies!

More about Rooted Beauty's Woman 2 Woman Campaign:

The Woman2Woman™ project is a generosity movement funded by Rooted Beauty™ that provides partnering organizations with the financial resources to deliver women from the bondage of extreme poverty, abuse and sex trafficking. A portion of profits generated from the sale of each product is redistributed to specific projects that will help real women become self-sustainable apart from oppression.

Once a project is complete, a new woman’s project will be tied to the product, creating a cycle of ongoing impact.

Get-The-Look: Sandra Bullock‏

Hey everyone!

Sandra Bullock’s recent locks seen at the Venice Film Festival, are an easy-to-achieve hairstyle that works on all hair textures; and looks flawless for any occasion. Here are a few quick steps on how you can achieve this look at home:

Step One: Spritz a leave-in conditioner all-over damp hair. Try UNITE 7Seconds Condition ($26.25).

Step Two: Next, blow hair straight using a round paddle brush, leaving some of your natural texture throughout hair.

Step Three: Once almost completely dry, take a salt-based spray, like the UNITE Beach Day Spray ($29.95) and spritz it onto 2-inch sections of hair, raking fingers through to separate.

Step Four: Finish this look by flipping hair over and back, to get that effortless volume.

Whitney
