What I got at The Nordstrom Beauty Trend Event

Happy Friday! I am so excited to share with you all my Nordstrom Beauty Haul and a recap from the Nordstrom Beauty Trend Event on May 6th. The event was so much fun! I also loved getting to sit front row with the 10 winners from  my Instagram contest. I always love meeting readers, and these girls were super fun! Not only was this a great event, but it was also a great learning experience.

The 10 Minute Facial at Home

I love the feeling I get right after a facial. Who doesn't right? My skin is always so soft, glowing and more hydrated than before. But like most of you, the days are busy and I find it hard to make the time for a facial or a trip to the med spa. When I can't get to the dermatologist, I like to find spa quality products that I can use in the comfort of my home. ...

My Favorite Face Primers

It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I started to really understand the benefit of using a face primer. I always had this idea in my head that using a primer would either make my skin become more oily or cause it to breakout. However, I quickly discovered that isn't the case with some primers. A primer is a base for your foundation that creates a smooth canvas for makeup application. It can help smooth pores, increase longevity in your makeup, and help soften any minor skincare concerns. And yes, it really does work! But remember, always let your moisturizer and serums set in your skin before applying your primer. If time allows, I usually wait a minute or two before applying my primer.  ...
