CelebHomes – We have seen you in two climates. Summer House Winter House. What did the change in temperature mean for your beauty regimen? How are you able to prepare for filming in winter and summer?
CM: This is a remarkable change. This is especially true since I rarely experience single-digit temperatures. While I can usually get away with wearing less makeup in the summer, it is becoming more common to wash my face several times per day. Since I am on camera, I wash my face less often because I have terrible acne history. This means I can avoid bacteria buildup as well as fewer breakouts.
Filming Winter HouseMy skin was constantly irritated and it was hard for me. My skin started cracking underneath my eyes when it was dry. It was horrible. In winter, I need to moisturize as much as possible. To make sure I have the best moisturizer, I add hyaluronic acids to all products. Filming winter is different because you need twice as many products as summer.
CelebHomes: What do you love about Covet & Mane Extensions and do you have any tips for taking care of them?
CM: I don’t think I have ever been more in love with my extensions. I am certain I have tried every product on the market. My hair journey has been long, but finally I am happy with the results. I like that my natural hair can be left out. It allows me to maintain my natural style while still allowing for volume and length. Covet & Mane extensions mimic my natural hair texture, also. When wet, the blowout texture is amazing. I was always a bit self-conscious with hair extensions. The versatility of these extensions is incredible. I can wear my hair up, down, in a high top knot—however I want, and I am not limited like I have been in the past.
CelebHomes – Is there any product you have used for years that hasn’t received the praise it deserves?
CM: Sometimes I feel like I am constantly changing my products, but for the past year I have been using Mielle Moisturizing and Detangling Conditioner. It is a conditioner that I have remained faithful to. I love it on both my natural hair and my extensions. This makes it easy to detangle your hair. When I steam-teach my hair, I use this product as a deep conditioner. It leaves your hair soft and moisturized. It’s great because it moisturizes my hair, which is a good thing for me as I have a tendency to let my hair dry. I will make this my winter essential.
