Urban Decay Naked Palettes
If you’re looking for a fab yet versatile eyeshadow palette, I’d definitely recommend any of the trio of Urban Decay Naked palettes. They’re a nice size, come with an eyeshadow brush, and are highly pigmented, which makes them a pleasure to work with.
Hair Care for Brunettes
I’ve always been attracted to hair care formulated specifically for brunettes, so today I’m sharing two different lines that have worked well for my own brown locks.
How To // Curl Hair with a Straightener
Ever wondered how you can use one hair tool to create multiple looks? Wonder no more. Today I show you a hair tutorial on how to use a straightener to curl.

Everyday Glam Makeup
Although my beauty cabinet is filled with quite a few other lovely makeup products (read: toys), somehow I always reach for particular tried and true products when I don’t want to think twice about what I’ll wear that day. These items also happen to be what I currently have in my travel makeup bag. They work well for me, and you can see they’re well-loved (I’ve hit pan on a few items, and that Benefit Instant Brow Pencil is starting to look like a deluxe sample, haha). LORAC PRO Palette A beloved palette of mine! The top shades are matte, and the bottom row is shimmer. It has every shade I would need for an everyday look, and the quality is lovely. The thinness of the LORAC PRO Palette makes it ideal for travel. My absolute favorite is “Gold” – it’s more of a bronze gold, and it makes my blue eyes pop.

High-End vs. Drugstore // Hair Mask Edition
Today Bond Girl Glam brings you a high-end versus drugstore product comparison. The focus will be on the two hair masks I’ve been trying side-by-side: the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque and the L’Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. Hair masks are an excellent and necessary addition to your haircare routine; they’re like supercharged conditioners. I will sometimes skip my conditioner for a hair mask treatment on my ends, because I find that my hair ends up a lot silkier in the same amount of time it would take to apply a conditioner. They’re especially useful in the drier winter months and for color-treated hair. The Macadamia mask has been a long-time favorite of mine; the one pictured above is probably my fourth repurchase. It’s a cult-favorite among the Internet beauty world, and for good reason. The L’Oreal mask is a newer purchase. I generally like L’Oreal as a drugstore brand, so I thought I’d give it a try for you girls. And at around $6-7, it’s a steal compared to the Macadamia. It claims to repair a year of damage in one use, so with a claim like that, I knew I had…
