As someone who tests makeup and skincare quite often (perks of the job, I guess), it's a big deal to find something I love so much I continue to reach for and repurchase over others. My neutral lip combo from THIS Beauty (read here about the brand I started in 2022) is my tried and true lip color over anything else. I prefer a more softer approach to my makeup and I find these shades compliment any look. ...
There's no greater find for your beauty routine like the perfect sunscreen. With sunnier days approaching, it's so important to find an SPF that you love and wear daily. Enter, the Hydropeptide Solar Defense Tinted SPF. I have used this since 2020 and it is still the one I reach for most.
Trust me when I tell you I have tried nearly every tinted SPF on the market. It's all I wear most days and with my skin being sensitive and acne prone, there's been a lot of trial and error. ...
Admittedly, I tend to buy pricey cosmetics. You know I can't pass up a Sephora run. But I have found an $8 drugstore mascara that honestly works better than the expensive stuff. Trust me when I tell you I've tried many (many) brands and this is the one I keep going back to. ...
It's no secret I want glowy, hydrated skin. Aside from skincare (which is most important IMO) the best way to achieve glowy skin is when you mix foundation with a liquid highlighter. I love the Valentino Beauty V-Lighter in Rosa for that glowy foundation look and I knew I had to test it out when I saw it had over 2.4K reviews. ...
Let's talk summer beauty. Honestly, I switch things up pretty drastically when it comes to makeup during summer vs. winter because my needs are different. Also, like most of us, I like to go with something lighter in the summer months - especially if I'm going to be outside on a hot day...which is often in Texas. ...
The Sephora Spring sale is here! This is the sale to stock up on the products you love or try something new. When I asked my Instagram followers, what they wanted to see, it came down to makeup bag must haves. So let's break it down. If I had to pick one from each category, this is it: ...
The Sephora sale has officially started and if you know me, you know I’ve already placed my order. Sephora only does the VIP Savings Event a few times a year, so if you are needing to stock up, now's the time. ...
If you love a neutral eyeshadow look, this “one and done” palette is for you. I took this neutral eyeshadow palette with me on my trip to California and it’s been perfect. It’s all your need for an everyday eye. ...
I've always found it hard to do a winged eyeliner. But recently I've been playing around with a few techniques and this is definitely one of the easiest I've tried. I love doing this for date night! ...
Summer for me usually means less makeup, more bronzer and lots of SPF. And now that life in the newborn and toddler stage are both in full swing, I don't have quite as much time for getting ready like before. It's key for me to find products that work well and won't melt off my face (like this all-in-one face palette or tinted BB Cream with SPF from Nordstrom)
I've found a routine that works great for me and leaves me with that glowy summer skin that I desperately want to achieve. This look is breathable, has SPF and still gives you a little coverage even without an actual foundation. Need I say more? ...
