Hello Loves!
I've had some questions about my beauty routine and I decided that although I don't have any secret magic make you beautiful potion, I can share what I do have :)
I have recently decided that I really really want to be healthy, inside and out. So I've started (trying) to eat healthy(er) and exercising. But I think that should also include beauty products that don't have a lot of preservatives and chemicals. Think about it, you use this stuff EVERY DAY! All of those bad things like parabens and alcohol sink into your skin and scalp and do damage slowly but surely. So I decided to go natural. Now, I know what you're thinking, that going all natural is totally unreasonable and EXPENSIVE but I have searched high and low and I think I have found some very nice and reasonably priced (rhyming is fun) products that I have been using and I can confidently stand by.
Let's start with the hair shall we?
Now, I am no stranger to hair coloring or straightening/curling or whatever else and I am quite spontaneous with my decisions, jumping into something without thinking through all of the consequences. Let's just say my hair has seen less damaged days. I am currently trying to grow my hair out after a long road of recovery due to a bad hair bleaching incident. So I try to avoid my heated tools as much as possible and I also use these three products.
1. Simply U Shampoo and Conditioner : Moisturizing Formula
These gentle cleaners are Sulfate and Pareben free and are "enriched with rice protein and fruit and silk extracts to help tame frizz while nourishing, strengthening and protecting hair all day long." I use them almost daily (every time I was my hair) and it is noticeably softer and smoother. The best part is, it goes for around $5 a bottle at Walmart which if you're a married college student is very nice!
2. CHI Shine Infusion Thermal Polishing Spray
This makes my hair nice and shiny AND protects it when i do decide to take a straightener to it. I also love the smell. I just spray it all over before I straighten it! You can buy it a ULTA but I usually find it for less a TJ Max.
3. Moroccan Oil - Oil Treatment for All Hair Types
This is my most recent hair miracle. Just a tiny drop in my hair wet or dry and my hair is magically soft and silky and manageable. It also healed the split ends that I was starting to get. It is definitely a must if you are trying to grow your hair out. Thanks to this I can just let my hair dry naturally without the frizz! The link will take you to amazon but it is usually only sold at select salons and can be a bit pricey. I just bought a tiny bottle and since you only need a drop that should last a while.
Face!
I have been a loyal customer of Proactive for years due to my stubborn breakout prone skin but have recently had to look elsewhere for skin care as my daddy was no longer supporting me and rent became more important that my face wash. It also always kind of unnerved me that it would bleach my clothes if I got it on them. (If it's doing that to my clothes what is it doing to my skin!?)
YESto Tomatoes Face Scare Products
These were a brilliant accidental find. I was just browsing around ULTA (while I'm sure I was supposed to be at the grocery store) and came across them. What I love about these products is they work just as good if not better than Proactive and they are as much as 98% natural ingredients!!! Now that is something I can jump behind! They come in all different fruits and veggies for whatever your skin needs and are they also smell delicious!
Make Up!
I love makeup. I like to look through pictures of people with their red hot lips and their smoky eyes. I also love color. However when I am getting ready in the morning, laziness and lack of time work together to put me in a natural make up rutt. So I decided that if I'm going to be in a rutt, I may as well look good doing it. I like to make my make up last so I felt it was ok to splurge a little bit

I bought both of these kits together at ULTA and they were $39 each. It took my breath away at first but when I thought about the quality that I am getting and how much it would have cost me to buy everything separately, I figured, "What the Hay!" Also all of the makeup fits into that adorable green and white striped travel bag! This foundation is natural and good for your skin and it makes you look like you've just been airbrushed so i thought it was well worth the extra bucks!
So there you have it! The Secret Beauty Routine of Tabitha Shakespeare! No magic, just natural stuff! Also, I drink a TON of water and that does wonders for my skin, hair, nails and body!
Thanks for reading! I hope it was beneficial!
Cheers!
