BEAUTY | THE SARAH STORIES

I am always interested in learning the ins and outs of all things beauty, & love that my job as a content creator involves testing out new products & new beauty brands.

Let's look at my cream of the crop, holy grail favorite beauty must haves. These are what always make the cut & what I'd choose if I had to pick just one!

I see a drastic difference when using this over any other. This sulfate free & leaves my hair so shiny. Smells amazing, too!

No other compares. This moisturizes, protects, & restores. I've found it also helps to prolong the effects of my Keratin treatments.

Conditioner

Advanced clean

living Proof

The more I use this, the more I prolong my hair's ability to stay clean. It removes oil, sweat & odor while adding softness & shine.

ILIA

I’ve tried a lot of mascaras, but I always go back to this. The formula is smudge free, flake free, & doesn’t transfer. It volumizes & lengthens in the best way.
