With so many beauty products on the market, it’s difficult to know what works. So, I’m here to help my gorgeous Cheeky readers! The following products have become life and time savers and I know they’ll change your busy lives too!
T-3 Hair Dryer
This product changed my hair and now I will never go back to my old hair dryer! I didn’t know what I was missing until I tried the T-3 at a friend’s. The next day, I immediately ordered one and recently turned my sister (a straight hair-aholic) onto it, as well.
While it’s a bit costly, just think of it as an investment. You don’t wait to continually fry your hair and this product certainly delivers. A repeat Allure and InStyle beauty winner, the T-3 uses ionic and infrared heat so your hair dries in significantly less time. It leaves hair smooth, eliminates flyaways, and keeps hair healthy by not over-drying. I suggest ordering it from a professional website so you’re guaranteed the product warrantee. Of the various models, I recommend the T3 Featherweight Professional Hair Dryer at the lightest 13 oz. weight.

Rusk Hair Straightener (I’m partial to the Rusk Professional Digital Ionic Str8 Flat Iron)
This is another investment product, but it truly overrides my Chi straightener any day. The Rusk straightener heats up instantly and has various heat settings so you can adjust the temp. It’s infused with ceramic and titanium technology to straighten hair from roots to end without causing any frizziness. Your hair will look smooth and shiny!

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks
Aside from Bobbi Brown’s concealer, this could be my all-time favorite beauty product. When I’m carrying a small purse, I have to limit what I bring with me. This product is a 2-in-1 and lasts. A cream based formula, the rouge goes on sheer but leaves a stain-like finish. Press it on cheeks or lips and then blend for instant color. There’s a bunch of shades to choose from, but I lean towards the pale pink, perfect for summer!

Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks, and Neiman Marcus
Prince Reigns
During bikini season, no girl wants to deal with unsightly razor or ingrown hair bumps. Dab Prince Reigns on clean, dry skin morning and night to affected areas after waxing or shaving. Unlike its competitors such as Tend Skin, it’s all natural and hypo-allergenic so women with sensitive skin need not fear. It won’t clog pores or burn skin either. Your significant other can use this product after shaving too! The 2 oz. product will last you a while and at only $24.95, the price can’t be beat either.
Available at
Nail Bar (various Chicago locations)
