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// FUNCTION OF BEAUTY 3 MONTH UPDATE

I have been using function of beauty shampoo and conditioner for 3 months now and have seen the benefits from the customized formula. I found this shampoo and conditioner through Instagram and thought it would be fun to try. Most shampoo and conditioners are designed to be one size fits all (for the most part), but this stuff helps target what your hair needs. When you order your formula, you are asked to pick 5 hair goals. It’s hard ...

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 ...

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: 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.
