BEAUTY BABBLE// FOUNDATION

It’s a known fact that I am a beauty junkie. I love trying new products to see what works for me and what doesn’t. When it comes to foundation, I want something that has coverage, but doesn’t look caked on. I still want to look and feel like me. I used to use bareMinerals liquid foundation, which I loved and will still use on occasion, but it just wasn’t doing it for me anymore. I have seen many good reviews on this ...

FUNCTION OF BEAUTY// UPDATE

About a month ago, I posted about my function of beauty custom shampoo and conditioner (see post here). I wanted to give you all an update about my hair after using this shampoo and conditioner for over a month. Ladies, I’m loving my hair lately! It is so soft, it’s amazing! I can’t stop touching it! I even had my sister touch it and she thought it was the softest hair she’s ever felt. Don’t get me wrong, ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// LIQUID LIPSTICK

swatches from top to bottom: Venus// Trophy Wife// Bombshell from top to bottom: Venus// Bombshell// Trophy Wife// Bombshell Lip Contour About a month ago, I went to Sephora to pick up some more moisturizer— I always end up leaving with more than I intended. As I walked around the store and happened upon these liquid matte lipsticks. I’ve tried other matte lipsticks, but they didn’t seem too last super long. Don’t get ...

FUNCTION OF BEAUTY

Personalized everything is everywhere these days! I randomly saw this brand, function of beauty, on Instagram one day. They make personalized shampoo and conditioner. I immediately checked out their website and took the hair quiz. First, you determine your hair profile. I chose straightforward hair type, fine for hair structure and normal for scalp moisture. Then you must choose 5 hair goals. This can be difficult only because there are so ...

HOW TO STYLE LIVED IN HAIR

I finally did a picture tutorial to how I curl my hair. This method is the main method I use to do my hair. I prefer to have that lived in, messy waves look rather that perfectly styled curls. To start I just usually use freshly washed hair, but might add some dry shampoo to give it some texture because dirty hair holds a curl much better than freshly washed! I usually use my NuMe 1 inch curling wand, looks like they have gone down in price ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// FACE FAVES

I usually don’t stray to far from my usual makeup routine. When you find something you like, you stick to it! However, there are times, when I try something new and then that becomes an important step in my makeup routine. I’ll start with the IT Cosmetics BYE BYE PORES, it’s a pressed powder you apply once you have applied foundation. This stuff blurs fine lines and gives skin that airbrushed look we all want! It’s a ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// LASHES

Lashes are my jam! I love the look of long, full lashes. It completes any makeup look. I have been debating for sometime about doing eyelash extensions, but for now while I continue that debate, I will use my favorite mascaras to achieve the look I desire. BOBBI BROWN is one of my favorite makeup brands for mascara. Starting from the top left, is the Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening BOBBI BROWN Mascara. This lengthens lashes to the max! It ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// BARELY THERE MAKEUP

As much as I love a full face of makeup, some days I’ll go for a no makeup, makeup look. It’s makeup that is barely there— yet doesn’t look like I rolled out of bed. This look is also great when you are short on time. After I moisturize and apply my primer (read about that here) I will use this FIRST AID BEAUTY Hello Fab 3 in 1 Superfruit Color Correcting Cushion. It helps even out skin tone and brightens your skin. ...
