While I love wearing makeup, some days are just meant for letting your skin breath or achieving that "barely there" makeup look. You know, the no-makeup makeup look. I have two trusty tinted moisturizers that I have used for years ...
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. I had the opportunity to interview a few stylists and makeup artists from different brands and hear all about the new trends in beauty and skin care. ...
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. ...
When it comes to beauty and skincare, I love researching and trying new products. Though I have my year-round staples, I like to rotate a few pieces in my beauty bag with the start of a new season. I recently ventured over to the makeup counter at Nordstrom and picked up a few new things for spring (it's hard for me to pass up a good Gift With Purchase). Whether it's adding a pink lip or reintroducing your favorite bronzer to your routine, I've got you covered. ...
Packing for an upcoming trip or weekend getaway can sometimes be a daunting task. Particularly, when it comes to beauty products. If you're like me, you don't want to over pack. Especially, if you're trying to fit everything in a carryon. With all the traveling we've been doing this past month, I've had several questions about my travel beauty routine and products that I was featuring on snapchat or instastories. Here are the products I've been traveling with lately: ...
The holiday festivities are in full swing and we are just a few weeks from Christmas and New Years Eve. If you're like me, you like to change up your makeup routine to something a little more bold when heading out to a holiday party or gathering. Here are a few products that I am loving this season mixed in with my normal beauty routine: ...
Every Fall I always look forward to changing beauty routine. Nothing too drastic, but I definitely start incorporating more neutrals and brown tones with the changing of the season. An easy (and affordable) way to get your makeup routine ready for Fall, is by choosing a fall lipstick. ...
It's been a while since I've shared a new Beauty Talk with you guys. And if you've followed my blog for a while, you know it's one of my favorite things to write about! I personally love reading beauty reviews, or watching tutorials, and find these kinds of post super helpful. I've been getting a few emails about my makeup routine, (specifically foundations & concealers) and I wanted to share a few of my current favorites. I know everyone's skin is different, so I wanted to share a variety of products that I have purchased and used over the past several months. ...
Happy Friday! Today is Nation Lipstick Day and what better way to celebrate than by sharing a few of my favorite lip products.
I posted the photo above on snapchat (username: The Teacher Diva) a few weeks ago, and many of you asked several questions regarding the lipsticks I used. ...
UPDATE: The 2016 sale has ended but be sure to checkout the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017 guide.
Each year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I always look forward to the Beauty Exclusives. I don't know what it is about buying makeup and skincare, but I always get so excited to try and review the products.
This year, I limited myself to only a few beauty purchases. It's easy for me to get carried away, so I tried to stick with the products I either have tried and loved, or ones that I wanted to add to my beauty bag.
Here are a few of my favorites! ...
