I know there is a lot of product sharing out there in the influencer world, myself included. We're always sharing what we love or what works for us, but something I don't share too often is when a product doesn't work for me. I usually only focus on the stuff that I love but I thought it might be helpful, especially for those of y'all who know you have similar skin to me or whatever, to start sharing the items that didn't work out for me. This isn't to bash the brand or ANYTHING like that, and instead, I'm just trying to share the good and the bad (for me). ...
What I Do When I Want the “No Makeup” Makeup Look
Since my skin has recently cleared up, I've been taking advantage of the "no makeup" makeup look. Which is honestly a misleading term, because you definitely wear makeup, just not a full face. These products will get the job done if you want a little bit of color, SPF, bold brows and plump lips. ...
My Most-Worn Lipstick Shades for Everyday
I often get asked about my most-worn lipsticks (and some are still on sale right now with code SPRINGSAVE) and wanted to make an easy spot for you to reference. From matte to gloss, these are my favorite shades for my lips. ...
How I Organized My Makeup and Skincare Drawer
Spring is in the air and I've been trying to get a jump start on getting things organized around here. Starting with my bathroom makeup drawers -- they are always the first to get messy.
Being a self-proclaimed beauty junky for the past 10 or so years comes with its perks, but organizing hasn't always been my strong suit (if you saw my IG story of my beauty closet you know what I'm talking about). I've been determined to declutter and organize my bathroom drawers and I finally came up with a system to keep my makeup and skincare products organized. I hope you can find it helpful, too! ...
The Only Red Lipstick I Wear During the Holidays
It's no surprise I am a big fan of neutral lips, but this time of year, I love to wear a red lipstick. It feels bold, festive and there's really nothing more classic than a red lip. However, I've learned over the years that all reds are not created equal. My favorite shade to wear during the holidays is 400 The Red from Armani Beauty. ...
The Only Eyeshadow Palette You Need This Fall
I've tried a lot of eyeshadow palettes over the years and the truth is, I never really felt like they were worth the money. I'm more of a "natural eyeshadow" kind of gal and most of the palettes I tried were either too smokey, too coppery or just didn't really appeal to what I would wear on a day-to-day basis. ...
How To Do Beach Waves When You Have About 5 Minutes
You may have seen me wearing these beachy waves here and there on social media and I am loving this incredibly EASY and quick hairstyle. This is my go-to look when I'm in a time crunch.
Per your request, I posted an IGTV sharing how I get these beachy waves from start to finish. Head over to my Instagram to check it out!
Before I started using the Bed Head Wave Artist, I used the One Step Volumizer Hot Air Brush and the Gisou Heat Protecting Spray. ...
The Ultimate Guide to a Nude Lip
It's no secret I love a nude lip. It's my go-to lip color for every day and something I feel the most comfortable in. However, finding the right shade can be a bit tricky. I'm a firm believer that if you have one you love, it can be the most versatile color in your makeup bag. Wear it alone or pair with a bolder color and you can easily create multiple looks.
I'm often showing different swatches on neutral lipsticks on here or my Instagram Stories, but lately, I've been seeing more questions pop up asking about my holy grail nude lipsticks. You know, the ones that never leave my purse or I keep purchasing over and over again because they are in fact, just that good.
Below I've sourced my top recommendations and a little tip I picked up over the years to help give you that "perfect pout". I swear, every time I do this, people ask if I got my lips done. For the record, I haven't, but it makes me feel good to know my lips look full. ...
How I Use The Tom Ford Soleil Glow Drops
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. ...
Heading on a Trip? You’ll Want to Check Out These Affordable Travel Organizers
If you are like me, you love all things organization. Maybe it's because I was a teacher for 6 years or I just love the idea of things all having a place — either way, I get excited to be organized. Now that doesn't mean I'm always organized per se, but I like to have the tools when needed.
I posted this makeup case on Instagram last month and got an overwhelming response of organizers seeking more tips and tricks when it came to this area. Several of you (528 to be exact) also bought one of these for yourself and mentioned how you wanted more ideas for affordable travel organizers to store makeup, skincare and makeup brushes. ...
