It is hard to express just how excited I get when I find innovative beauty products that are real game changers. I was recently introduced to Know Cosmetics “No, My Lips are Sealed” lipstick sealer and it is a really incredible product!
There are plenty of lip stain products available, but what makes this product special is the ability to wear the lipstick you already own! [Read more…]
I absolutely love trying new products! There are quite a few companies who send me things that I try out on my own and either decide to share or not to share with you. I have decided to start sharing some of my first impressions with you guys as I try new things though so you can see my completely honest, first try of products that you might be interested in trying for yourself! Today’s products are from Aveda!
You probably already know that I love my Luminess Air makeup system. I just love how smooth my makeup looks when I use an airbrush to apply it! I also love that it lasts all day long, without any touching up. Luminess Air has a large variety of products that can be used with their air makeup system and I have really enjoyed trying out different products they offer to make my makeup look even better.
Most recently, I tried out the Porcelain, X Out, and Eraser products from Luminess Air. I really love how well these products work together. They help [Read more…]
Eyelash extensions are one of the biggest trends in makeup right now. They have been around for kind of a long time, but their popularity has really skyrocketed in the past few years. Lash extensions can look really beautiful, but they don’t always. There are many bad eyelashes out there. They can also be quite expensive and time consuming to keep up. That’s why I think it is so important to know what some of your other options are before committing to eyelash extensions!
In my newest video, I shared a few alternative options to eyelash extensions. Of course you can still choose to go with the lash extensions, but at least you will be going into it more educated. [Read more…]
Before any of you start thinking I am a pro at everything, let me tell you a little story. I am not a pro at everything (shocker)! I was so excited to bring to you a new video series I will be doing once a month. It is called First Try and I will be trying new products for the first time on camera and sharing my opinion of those products and seeing how user friendly they are on the first try. Well the first one is coming to you today… sort of.
As you can see, I filmed my video and tried the products. The problem is that when I went to go edit the video, there was no sound. NO SOUND! This is just a happy reminder that not all bloggers can afford to pay for a film crew and have to rely on their own knowledge to do just about everything. Sadly, that came back to bite me this time around and I honestly have no idea why it did that! The good news is that I did try these products and really liked them and would love to still give you the info about them so you can go give them a try too! [Read more…]
Summer is in full swing! As much as I love the summertime, I don’t always love the hot temperatures that seem to melt off all of my makeup. I have learned over the years to keep my makeup pretty light when it is hot outside. It is tempting to just skip the makeup all together, but I always feel so much better when I have makeup on my face. Even a small amount of makeup can boost my confidence enough that it is worth wearing makeup when the temperature is hot. I have come up with an easy summer makeup look that is light and simple. It takes me less than 10 minutes from start to finish to put on each day and I love how it feels!

Need a great Mother’s Day gift idea? Mother’s Day can be hard holiday to shop for because you want your gift to be thoughtful. The problem is a lot of thoughtful gifts aren’t necessarily things that mom can use. I love the idea of combining both a practical gift with something thoughtful that she will love. That’s why I decided to cover a clear acrylic makeup case with vinyl to turn it into a floral and polka dot makeup holder and fill it with some of my favorite beauty products as the perfect Mother’s Day gift!
I think the best gifts to give are the ones that you would love to receive yourself. I know that I would love to receive this as a gift! It was really easy to make, so I will probably be making a duplicate for my own bathroom counter as well! To make your own you need… [Read more…]
I have wanted to own a makeup airbrush system for a long time. When I was in beauty school, we learned a little bit about them and at the time, they weren’t affordable at all. A lot has changed in the world of airbrush makeup in the last decade and I love that airbrush makeup is something that anyone can have the ability to do in their own home now! It isn’t something that is just exclusive to makeup artists anymore. Luminess Air sent me an Airbrush Makeup System to review and it has been so fun to try it out!

I L-O-V-E Halloween! I am obsessed with the seeing the creativity that can go into costumes and I wanted to collect a compilation of some of my favorites that I have seen around online. They are goooood! Here are 50 Halloween hair and makeup tutorials that you do not want to miss!
I was able to peel myself off of the hundreds of moving boxes that seem to be taking up every inch of my house. I feel like I haven’t been home all summer with my trip to NYC and all of the family events we had throughout the summer. The funny thing was that I came home from our last trip away and was excited to be back, without any plans of leaving for quite some time. Just a few days later, Dave was offered a new job and we had to make plans to be out of our house in just 2 weeks! Sound familiar? It’s basically the exact same scenerio as last year, only this time we aren’t trying to sell our house and go through a kitchen makeover.
What I am getting at, is I tried to take a step back from blogging a bit this summer because things were so hectic and was thrilled to be back at it, just when life became chaotic again! I promise that I have some really great things in store just around the corner, once we get a little more settled in! I realized that I have been finding some really great products that I have been dying to tell you all about, but I haven’t had a chance to film at all and didn’t want to wait any longer to tell you about them, so you get a good ol’ blog post because it just can’t wait any longer! I would find far too many products to tell you about if I waited.
