It all started back in November when I saw my favorite Vogue beauty editors sampling the Tom Ford Soleil Glow Drops. I was mesmerized to see these drops give the most beautiful, natural glow. I admit, I drink the Tom Ford Beauty kool-aid. I pay for their overpriced lipsticks and primers, but in my defense, I have yet to try something from Tom Ford Beauty that I don't love. I figured it might be the same for these drops. ...
Happy Labor Day Weekend! The Sephora Beauty Insider Sale ends today and I wanted to pop in and share a few unique products I am using that can be found on sale. I really didn't plan on doing a full Sephora sale guide, only because I have done quite a few in the past and really, those picks haven't changed.
I am still using this foundation (and I rotate with this one or the bareMinerals Original Foundation Powder - per my derm's request), my favorite blush still continues to be the NARS Multiple and I will always recommend a good sunscreen like the Supergoop Spray or really anything from their line. But quite a few of you were asking for my recommendations, so here are a few things I've been using for the past several months. What did you pick up at the sale? ...
The summer season is all about a little color on the lips and if you're like me, you tend to stick with soft pinks, peachy hues, and nudes. But what's the best brands to try for a longwear and hydrating formula? This is a question I get asked often and was actually inspired to write this post based on recent emails and DM requests. You'll often find each of these 4 lipsticks in my makeup bag and on rotation throughout the week.
So to take the guesswork out of your summer lip game, I've selected my tried-and-true nude and pink lipsticks for every occasion below.
I'm always curious to hear about other people's go-to's: do you have a signature shade that you swear by? xx Ashley ...
It's no surprise that the Beauty Exclusives are always the first thing I look for when shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. You guys know I enjoy trying new products, but many of these are products I currently use (like this mascara) or have tried in the past and want to use again. ...
The time for sun-kissed skin is here! And there's nothing prettier than a fresh, glowing complexion. In the summer, I take the less is more approach. However, being someone who does struggle with breakouts and uneven skin tone, I do need some coverage.
My skincare always takes priority, but in the summer, I focus more on keeping my skin balanced, clear and continue to use my SPF (this spray is amazing). I'll share more about my skincare routine later, but for today, let's talk summer makeup.
Oh and be sure to check out my Instagram Stories for a video on how I use these products! I'll be adding it to my highlights once it expires in case you miss it. ...
Happy Friday! The Sephora Beauty Insider Sale is here and I have all the details on how you can get 10 or 15 percent off your entire order. Sephora only does this sale a couple times a year and it happens pretty quick, so I always go in with a game plan. Though I'm pretty good on product at the moment, there were a few things I scooped up for upcoming reviews (will be sharing soon). Can't wait to hear what you guys get or what's in your cart.
Here's how you can shop the Sephora sale: ...
It's time for April's edition of Beauty Buys, and this month I want to highlight the products I use to create natural looking brows.
If you're like me, you may have suffered from over-plucked brows in the 90s. And maybe into the early 2000s if we're being honest. What were we thinking? Pencil thin brows are not the way to go and in effort to get a full, natural-looking brow, I have got it down to a 2 or 3 product routine. Plus, I've finally found the one trick to make my brows grow. ...
As you know, we love to talk about products around here. And in response to our 2017 Survey, 89% of you requested more beauty and wellness reviews, tutorials and videos, which made me excited because it is genuinely one of my favorite topics as well. With that being said, this year, I am kicking off my newest series, Monthly Beauty Buys, where I highlight my recent purchases, both beauty and wellness, and share a mini review. ...
I love to see what my favorite beauty and fashion editors keep in their makeup bags. And though I have my routine down, I still love learning about the newest (or oldest) tricks in the book. Today, I'm spilling my beauty bag. ...
My love affair with Sigma Beauty started long ago when I purchased the F80 Flat Kabuki Brush. One of my most used brushes to date! (but don't worry, I give it a good shampoo now and again.) We all know how expensive makeup brushes can be. And that is what initially peaked my interest in Sigma brushes. They have affordable options and several (thousand) positive reviews all over the internet. Being the curious gal I am, I purchased a few for myself. From the very beginning, I was very impressed with the quality and affordability of Sigma brushes. And to my surprise, I have had zero issues with these brushes. But have you tried their makeup? If not - you're in for a treat. ...
