BEAUTY BABBLE// CONFIDENCE IN A CREAM

I tried this IT COSMETICS SUPER CREAM about a week and a half ago as a 100 point sample from Sephora. I loved the sample so much so I bought the normal size! This brand continues to impress me. I use their BYE BYE PORES pressed powder and love it!  I was using this KATE SOMERVILLE goat milk moisturizer and still do use it because I truly loved it, but I tried this super cream and have been blown away by how amazing it is on my skin. ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL

Ok, so last week I raved about the Sephora Collection sheet masks I tried, BUT these were even better! I have seen these TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL face masks before, just never tried them until this past week. First off, let me start off by saying that I love face masks. I have talked about them before. It’s one of the ways I relax and enjoy some me time. I was excited to try these sheet masks mainly because they contain egg yolk extracts, ...

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. ...

BEAUTY BABBLE:PRIME TIME

This week’s Beauty Babble is all about the steps to take for better looking makeup, as well as long lasting makeup. Before applying makeup it’s important to prep and prime your skin. First step, is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. It’s not a primer, but equally important. You want your skin to be well hydrated before applying any type of makeup. I recently tried this Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizer as a sample ...

JOGGER STYLE

This sneaker and jogger trend is amazing! I love it! Joggers are everywhere right now. These ones are a combination of joggers and leggings. Some joggers can be very baggy, but these ones are nice and tight. They have a lot of stretch to them, but do not stretch out — major plus! They come in this charcoal grey and a black. I am wearing a size small to give you an idea on sizing. I do believe they are true to size. The sneaker trend is ...

BEAUTY BABBLE: FAVORITE FACE MASKS

As you can see, I love face masks. I am always trying new ones, but these ones are currently my favorites. Of course I don’t use them all at once or use them everyday. I will use them when I feel like my skin is needing a little extra attention. First we have the three L’OREAL ones. Each one is a clay mask and does something specific for your skin. The black clay‘s purpose is to detox and brighten dull skin. I will use it ...

BEAUTY BABBLE: HAIR MUST-HAVES

Definitely guilty of being a beauty junkie! I am constantly trying new beauty products to see what works for me and what doesn’t. This post is about a few favorite hair must-haves! I really don’t do much with my hair. Most of the time I do messy waves or just put my hair up in a messy bun. I do love doing dutch fishtails and other braided messy styles, but since having Caden, I have the dreaded baby hairs literally all over my ...
