Gone are the days where thin eyebrows are in. I remember in middle school the thinner the eyebrows the better (it makes me cringe to think about it). And while some of us may not be blessed with full brows, there are a few tools that can help us fake it till we make it! ...
Now that Summer is officially here, it's time to make some changes in our beauty routine. This time each year, I always find myself going a shade darker in my foundation, loading on the SPF and testing out my new favorite self tanners. I've rounded up a few of my favorite makeup & haircare products that seem to get the job done during these Summer months. Most of these are on sale too! Here's a few worth mentioning: ...
When it comes to beauty, nothing is more beautiful to me than my sweet Mom. Not only is she fabulous on the outside (just look at that hair!), but her heart is just as lovely. Mom's teach us many things, but I appreciate most how my Mom showed me what it means to be a daughter of Christ, love others and have joy in all circumstances (of course, Dad you helped too, but this is a Mother's Day post!). ...
Happy Sunday friends! I have had several requests for an updated foundation review and I have been eager to share this one with you all. Typically, I wear a CC or BB cream as my foundation, but after trying the Double Wear Foundation (on sale) by Estée Lauder I am hooked. I can now see why it has won numerous awards and is all the rage in the beauty world. ...
Last weekend I had the joy of getting to room with my sweet friend Katey McFarlan at our work conference. Many of you know her for her gorgeous home and adorable puppy, Peaches, but I am excited to share a fun project we worked on featuring our favorite travel must haves. ...
When it comes to my Spring and Summer beauty routine, I like to keep things as simple as possible. I look for double-duty products that will last during hot Summer days all while keeping that subtle glow. I took these products with me while we were in Mexico and I am excited to share with you some of my current makeup favorites. A few of these are new and some are oldies, either way, you need to know about them!
PS: The Weekend Edit will be coming next week. I've been pretty busy with the wedding shower tomorrow, so my content has been slightly pushed back. Thanks for understanding! xx Ashley
LONG WEAR FOUNDATION WITH SPF
I always make sure to use SPF year round, but I pay special attention to my sunscreen during the Spring & Summer. I love that It Cosmetics adds SPF to their popular CC Cream. My favorite is the CC Illuminating Cream 50+ SPF (I wear the color Medium). Ya'll, this stuff is amazing. I tried the original formula, and it just wasn't for me. It was pretty thick and while it offered amazing coverage, I find the Illuminating CC Cream to be better suited for my skin. It's not sheer by ...
While I love to wear makeup just as much as the next girl, I like to keep a rather simple everyday routine. I've had a few requests for a little review and tutorial so I thought I'd share some of my recent purchases with you all! Some of you may have seen me use these products on my snapchat yesterday (theteacherdiva) and if you look fast, you may still catch my video from yesterday's tutorial using these products.
I wanted to share some of old and new favorites starting with this Eyebright Lotion and Moisturiser by Liz Earle. I got these products in the Botanicals Skin Saviours Set from Birchbox and have loved using the skincare line. The Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion is perfect for refreshing tired and puffy eyes. I apply it every morning with a cotton ball, then follow with the Skin Repair Moisturiser. They smell nice too!
Next up, is this Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation. My sweet in-laws gave this to me for Christmas and I don't think they've ever seen someone so excited about makeup before. As someone who loves trying new products, this has been on the top of my list. So ...
