I love love love 100% Pure for my natural beauty products. I usually don’t do campaigns with products that are not at least free from Parabens and Phosphates and are not animal tested. I believe in non-toxic beauty and that’s all I promote. I also love Hask Hair and I’m going on my second campaign with them. Their hair products are such high quality and don’t dry out my hair. Plus, it’s affordable!

I love the relationship you build with brands. You build authenticity and trust with your followers by giving your honest opinion. Also, finding new brands which may become some of your favorite.
