Best styling product/hair treatment:
Joc: Kevin Murphy fresh hair
Karyn: Kerastase Fluidissime is my daily go-to. It’s weightless and adds much needed moisture and shine while Olaplex Hair Perfector smoothes and strengthens.
Kelsi: Best styling product: Paul Mitchell Extra Body Daily Boost- lifts my roots for more body! I use it in wet hair before I blow dry. Otherwise my hair is super limp and flat.

To finish things off and send you on your way to a beauty overhaul, we’re sharing some Beauty Hacks that truly save.
Kelsi: Use your facial exfoliator on your lips to keep them super kissable. If you need an extra scrub down, rub your toothbrush along your kisser too! Then put a super moisturizing lip balm on. I love FAB Intensive Lip Balm.
Kassy: If using a traditional liquid foundation and you’d like to thin it out a bit and give yourself a glow: add a drop or two of your favourite facial oil into a pump of foundation!
Karyn: Coconut oil - my makeshift lip gloss, hands-down the best moisturizer, mixed with sugar for a silky scrub... I even pop it in my coffee. Nothing like natural.
