Is The Lip Bar Fast Face Kit Actually Fast?
If you have been following along on my journey then you know two things about me: 1) This year I have been trying new looks with my hair and makeup and 2) I have the tendency to run late.

They have a Fast Face Kit that boasts that you can get the makeup look you want in seven minutes, using six products! I couldn't pass it up, so I tested it out to see if it was actually fast.

My Wash ‘N Go Hair Routine

Technically it means you wash your hair, put your products in it and go about your day. For me it’s easy, it saves my hair from heat damage and I don’t have to manipulate my hair in order to style it.
