Playa - Pure Dry Shampoo

karasmai aasimar review of the Playa pure dry shampooso there's a little demo for you I've never done ASMR before so

washing my hair is really my least favorite part of my beauty routine something about it peels like such a chore so I love a good dry shampoo that can extend the amount of time between washes and one that I have been so in love with lately is the Playa pure dry shampoo I am actually on fourth day hair today and I have a very oily scalp so without a really good dry shampoo I could never stay looking presentable but this does the most amazing job of really absorbing oil and adding some volume and life back into your hair and even though I have very very dark hair I do not notice a single ounce of white cats with this this does have a fairly strong sweet fragrance to it and although I think it smells good it might not be for you if you're sensitive to send

NatureLab. Tokyo

NatureLab. Tokyo's Perfect Smooth Shampoo has potent Argan Stem Cells that promote cellular renewal and stimulate new growth while Quinoa proteins repair, protect and strengthen strands.

Perfect Smooth Shampoo

I love a free sample as much as the next person but the issue is sometimes it leaves you wishing you can try the product a little bit more to make up your mind about it that's definitely how I felt about the nature lab Tokyo perfect smooth shampoo because I used it to wash my hair this morning and I feel like I like it but I just can't really tell if the claims hold up in addition to of course leaving your hair smooth it is also supposed to strengthen and promote new growth and obviously a one-time-use sample is just not enough to know that it's going to do that be on fat just in terms of immediate results and smoothness I mean my hair didn't come out any busier than it usually does but I'm just not sure if it's any smoother than usual but the did ladder up really well and has a nice soft that you sent to it so I think if you're interested it's worth testing out

Natural Endless Summer Spray

Dip Powder Jar

I quickly became the biggest fan of dip powder specifically and Aaron's dip powder and one thing that made me sad though was that I couldn't try the Hailey Bieber nails without adding gel to dip powder then how to hack so these nails are a week old still looking pretty good just a little grown out of that shine like almost Chrome effect not as amazing as Hailey Bieber nails but they look pretty good in the secret this bad boy okay I was wrong it's actually this palette and this bright light color specifically but if you have this one I feel like those would also work pretty well go through all the steps of the dip kit do one coat of the Finish gel and then before you do the second one happened to this tap it on to your nail and do the

hey guys so right here I have the playoff summer endless spray and this is like a sea salt spray so you just braids in your hair and give you some texture and this is what my hair looks like without it and it's a mess honestly from a shave it looks like after I sprayed in so what this is supposed to do is it supposed to give some texture and tone volume and it definitely does that after I curl or straighten my hair it's not flat like it's not just like poker straight it looks really good after because I like some volume in my hair but not too much and this is a perfect to them out

hey guys so right here is the player new day missed this is the three-in-one style refresh the smoothens creases and restores a style and it definitely does that I got this from influenster and this is my hair without the spray in it what it's supposed to do is smooth out the creases and make your natural hair even better so what I do is I just sprayed all around and I kind of scrunched the curls will it's not really curls are just ways but it does help so much and it makes my hair smells so much better alsoso you can also sleep in buns and then when your hair is wavy just spray this in the morning and then it comes out like a nice curl or like a natural curl which I totally love I don't like using heat and this is the perfect way

Boxycharm

I’m with you. I was only staying because of the June BoxyLuxe. But honestly it was a huge letdown. The dryer was my main reason and it is absurdly small. Plus as usual, I didn’t get the variations I wanted. A dull, warm peach lip color that looks like it might be dried out (lots of cracks), a Tarte palette I already own, and that mist I didn’t even know was a possibility. The last thing my oily, large pore, sweat prone face needs is a face spray to make me “glow.”
It’s funny because I missed out on the 1st and luxe boxes which I loved, and got the 2nd and 4th that were both letdowns. I know it has more products and a higher retail value (sorta—-$85 hairdryer? Nah), but I swear I like my Ipsy Plus boxes so much better than Boxycharm or BoxyLuxe. I actually get excited about Ipsy spoilers because I know if I adjust my profile/preferences there’s a good chance I’ll get the product I want and if not I might be able to pick them up as add-ons. They may not send only perfect-for-me products, but I can’t recall ever feeling like I got a
“dud”. The kind of product or color Boxy regularly sends that I can’t even give it away (except to a charity).
I’m not saying Boxy doesn’t still send some good stuff but with no personalization and SO. MANY. VARIANTS. I’m just over it. This month I got variation #36 or 38!!! I knew there were lots of variations but whoah! I’ve been trying to “break up” with Boxy ever since the first Luxe disaster, but I’ve been subscribed for over 4 years. My longest sub box relationship ever! 😄
But after yet another disappointing box, many shady business practices, and bad customer service experiences, I think I’m ready to exclusively commit to the more exciting, treats-me-better (products, personalization, AND great customer service) Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. Who knows, I might still come back for a box once in a while. 🤷‍♀️

How do u adjust it to get the products u want? I mean the Ipsy glam? I wanted the 111skin serum and didn’t get it. Was the only reason I stuck around for the box. I was sooooo disappointed ☹️

Beauty Box

is Foxy time hi friends I have here at the Luxe boxycharm and I believe this is $65 every 3 months so I think you have to have the subscription of a premium box and there is usually a product and each luxbox there are five products and the base and then I think 6 to 7 and the premium so you can stop and pause if you want to see all the prices and the products first product to catch my eyes is Patrick tall this is a lip gloss this is in the shade she's expensive and I love Patrick cause Line This is an incredible product this is beauty bakeries for pallet flush set this is a collagen whipped mask this is the elements clarifying clay Masque this has a strong sense of course I'm going to love this another lip product in this is from Nars Keys Illuminating serum day Cactus leave in conditioner 6 Beauty blenders or maybe

More From Playa

so because dry shampoo can definitely only do so much I'm going to be really deep cleansing and conditioning my hair in the shower and I'm going to try out the Playa everyday shampoo and Supernatural conditioner so these two products have really good reviews and Playa is a very kind of luxurious high quality hair care brand in this is carried and sold by Violet grey in Los Angeles I'm in each bottle retails for I think $28 so it's a little bit pricey but the ingredients look really good and I'm excited to just kind of try it out for the first time and I will be back with my thoughtsso I'm all showered skin tears on and I had a really lovely experience with the Playa shampoo and conditioner they have this like beautiful kind of like vanilla cinnamon almost like horchata scent and the the shampoo works great it was kind of like a jelly formula and the conditioner almost function like a mask so I left it on for a while and my hair just feels so

Supernatural Conditioner

so I'm also going to be reviewing the supernatural conditioner by Playa so figured I would review these Supernatural conditioner alongside the shampoo this consistency I really loved it was very smooth and butter and it went into my hair very seamlessly and just instantly felt softer so we will see how this one feels once I take my towel off as well shower and my comb is going very seamlessly down my hair which I expected just because of how it fell in the shower but it smells really good and we'll see how it feels in the morninghi guys I just woke up and honestly my hair feels amazing it feels soft it feels healthy and it's me to be a bad proteins Amazon Amazonian oils at SLS and paraben-free which be loved so I highly recommend the conditioner

everyone so that's my second movie of the day and this is a product I do like I got this as a sample from Sephora and it's a pretty big size like there's 8.85 fluid ounces so that's like my hair is pretty texture does is but with it I just like the scent of and I think it gives it a little more tousled effect like to my braids are my braids My Curls and that's what I like about it most smells really nice I might buy the big one packaging super cute there's paraben-free UV protection so in the summer when I'mguarding outside and it's sunny cuz right now it's raining I am protected and my spouse protected which I love so this is a great product

this is the Playa Endless Summer spray the .85 fluid ounces I got this for free with a promo code at Sephora online and this spray smells really nice kind of coconut and floral scent this helps protect your hair and scalp from UV rays so I really enjoy that and it as a slight texture not too much but a little bit of a texture it's not crunchy which is really good so I'm really enjoying this I think maybe sometime I'll buy the full-size but not right now so I would definitely recommend this

I wanted to tell you guys about this play Everyday shampoo that I just got it says it gently cleans and hydrates it smells so good it says it has coconut water and sugar beet extract in it here's the ingredients on the back if you guys wanted to push pause and peewit I so recommend this mine's like a mini sample size and I probably have like one maybe two uses left in it but my hair feels so soft after it definitely feels hydrated I love the scent

something to talk about this, cuz I heard there's a lot to say so one I thought it was a dry shampoo it is not it is a more of a styling spray and a refresh at the same time so don't put this in your roots because I make your hair really greasy not it once you figure out how to use it it's awesome so what I do is supposed to be like in my front area whatever I spray it on liars and then just kind of house of my hair so that you get this extra volume which is really nice but you don't get the greasiness this brand is incredible once you're done with this product you send it back to them and then you get 15% off your next purchase after you do that so I'm super super pumped about the brand in general but they have a lot of other products that you should definitely check out I'm a big fan but just figure out how to use it

I want to talk about this Graham because I don't see many reviews on it and I'm like surprised because I've been amazed this is the playlist Supernatural conditioner that repairs damage and rebuild strands it has both of those I will say that this run is also a hundred percent recycled material and it's also cruelty-free this condition also has amazing ingredients which I think is why it is help my split ends so much and the directions say to leave in 4 to 2 4 minutes then rinse and you have to blow dry or sit in the sun to activate natural polymers to seal split ends so after I take a shower and use it I do go outside and it really does make a difference the smell is a little off-putting because it does smell like cake to me but it works Super Bowl so I don't really care I definitely recommend you guys check it out because you will never go back to the drugstore conditioner ever again or shampoo they have shampooed to ya

Angry Bird gray it's me Claire and today I am doing the play a new day mist okay sorry I just got to do some. Right there but this mist is it to psi refresh so it helps get rid of frizz and smooth creases and her stories did style so if you're feeling like you need to refresh your hairstyle after a little bit like saying you've been out and about and you haven't really had a chance to fix your hairstyle you could just and it would work and it doesn't show any results right now with me because my hair is wet but trust me this stuff really works and I got this for $3 as a nip Seattle and it's a really works like super well to help refresh your hair after it's gotten all frizzy and stuff so I rate this a 8 out of 10

good morning you guys I wanted to review the Playa Endless Summer Sprite is basically your life be not your mother's beach babe spray it's like a wave and answer it that's at least how I described it says create soft enticed soft and tousled texture I'm always off in the morning but anyways actually the first day of fall so I figured this would be kind of funny and ironic to review because it just a harmless summer and I'm not going to lie here is still just feel like summer nothing about it screams fall besides the fact that it is technically the season but I really like the stuff I wanted to review it when my hair was way because I figured it was more appropriate but I don't know when that's going to be so I was like whatever I meant Empire before I really like their product this one also smells just as good as the other one it is different this one actuallyyou know I'm not going to bother trying to describe it just not a thief and it's really good and that's also I like to spray it in my leaves because

so yeah I wanted to come on and do a follow-up of this play a new day Miss is a three-in-one style refresh spray and it supposed to smooth creases and restore the style and it is in the center of Raleigh water and sugar cane extract when I first got it I didn't think it was going to be great for my type of hair texture that was going to be more like a beach babe kind of thing but I love to use it when I have braids to like refresh time and revamped Ami can smell really good sometimes even when I'm not trying to refresh time I just like to wear to my hair if I go to bed but this is like I feel like this is a goddess braids like it just smells like everything and it's not like a floor or any kind of scent that you could put your finger when I guess that's the new Rollie waterbut I should have came come through and makes it kind of sweet but not too sweet is just perfect love love

good morning you guys so I wanted to review this Playa leave in conditioner I did an influencer unboxing of this a bit ago it was one of their variety boxes I also got another one of their products and both I'm genuinely very happy with eventually I'll do a review on the wave spray for the stuff is really really good I can't tell if I like this better than my it's a 10 I'm going back and forth and I do you alternate between the two it's a 10 is a little bit more self-explanatory than the sense that it has a lot more benefits to it but both are phenomenal this one I think I low-key like the smell of it better kind of like coconut and I love anything coconut packaging is adorable but this leave it is great every tails for $24 I believe actually saw that it's sold on morphe so I don't know if they have some connection to morphe but it's really good at has coconut milk and monoi oil I don't know if I said that right and I just leave your hair is super soft when it fully dries and I'm just

Travel Essentials

okay so these five products this is my hair routine right now and finding Playa literally has changed my hair have naturally curly wavy hair and it gets very very dry all the time I really don't have oily hair I just get dry coarse hair and the Playa shampoo and conditioner change that like instantly I noticed a difference instantly like the first use and so I had a trial size I bought the full size and I've been getting more and more products from the brand and pretty much that's my whole hair care routine is papaya and it is so amazing and so worth the price

great thank you for watching my version of androgynous makeup I know it's a little thin the most people would do but with my hair and my bone structure it reaches androgynous to me especially before I do the lamp and if I leave off the mascara but I wanted to include those cuz they're part of my everyday so I figured it'd be fun optional steps to share I did use a little Playa spray in my hair or my hair is really fine sure that just helps to give a little shape and as it dries it'll floof back out and it keeps it from getting a nice sea salt spray and fluffy and softkind of puts a boyish so I think this makeup accomplishes that for me and I hope that it gives you some fun ideas or at least some fun product Recs that you might enjoy if you also like an androgynous or natural or whatever you want to call it look so thanks
