How to Touchup Your Roots Without The Salon

Beauty
This post was sponsored by Gray Away as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I don’t know about everyone else but I have been to the salon exactly two times this year! Not ideal but then this whole year hasn’t been ideal. My hair grows fast which means my “roots” start to show after about a week and a half. The older I get the more those roots are gray! I started using Gray Away spray to help touchup between visits. Who knew it would be my 2020 must-have hair...

How to Make Your Ponytail Look Fuller

Beauty
How to Make Your Ponytail Look Fuller: After giving birth to my daughter my hair appears thinner, especially around the hairline.  I started trying out hair powders and serums to improve the appearance a few weeks ago.  In total, I tried 5 different powders and 3 different serums.  By far my favorite was the Nanogen Keratin Hair Fibers.  It was an instant difference!   The fibers adhere to your hair and scalp, unlike powder that just sits on the scalp and can look clumpy.  I start with a small amount and then work up.  The fibers are totally buildable and...

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

We all know my love for @coola SPF but let's talk We all know my love for @coola SPF but let's talk about their new skincare line! #presssample

Glowing Greens Detoxifying Facial Cleansing Gel - Antioxidant-rich Seaweed helps to gently dissolve away skin impurities and toxins while replenishing skin’s hydration. Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free. I used this as a morning cleanse or second cleanse at night. 

Skin Renewal Serum -  A nutrient dense serum perfect for renewal of the skin.  An all in one style serum packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, anti-oxidants and Moringa oil.  I used this am and pm to help with hydration levels. 
 I found my skin was plump and retained moisture all night.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

The Great Barrier Reef Cream - My favorite of the bunch.  The texture is light and creamy.  It absorbs quickly.  California Sea Kelp Actives, rich in essential nutrients and polyphenols, fortifies and hydrates skin’s barrier.  This is a gorgeous day cream.  It paired well with my SPF and foundation without any piling or caking.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

Available now @Nordstrom and @Revolve.  Shop the link in my bio.  Press samples.  All opinions are my own.  @COOLA #COOLA  #COOLASkincare

Vitamin c and SPF go together like cookies and mil Vitamin c and SPF go together like cookies and milk—they just make each other better. Vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and protect the skin. When vitamin C and spf are used together skin has boosted protection from UV rays.  Vitamin C is a skin booster, brightened and helps even skin tone. SPF protects from further damage allowing Vitamin to work on older damage. 

The texture of this new @supergoop Daily Dose is gorgeous. It absorbs quickly and leaves behind a soft glow. Trust me this is going to be your go to product as we all start heading outdoors again. 

If you are concerned about hyperpigmentation, sun damage or  uneven skin tone then this one is a winner.
