BEAUTY BABBLE// SEPHORA HAUL

I feel like I am always at Sephora picking something up; whether it’s something I need to refill or something new to try, I’m there often. I have known for a while now that IT Cosmetics is a great beauty brand, but I’m starting to obsess over their products. IT Cosmetics not only look good, but do good. Last week’s BEAUTY BABBLE, I talked about the Confidence in a Cream moisturizer. It’s truly is a life saver ...

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// SEPHORA SHEET MASKS

My obsession with face masks continue! Lately I have felt that my skin needed some extra TLC. While shopping at Sephora, I figured I would try out their sheet masks. Each one is $6 and has a different purpose. I grabbed a few that would soothe my dull and tired skin. Anyone else have fun putting sheet masks on? Kind of makes you look like a creep with a hockey mask (you know…ahem… Jason), but your skin will love it! I like to do ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// PETER THOMAS ROTH FACE MASKS

I’ve talked about the Rose Stem Cell Mask by Peter Thomas Roth before (this post here). A few weeks ago, while making a run to Sephora, I saw this sample kit when I was waiting in line. I figured for $25, I could try all the face masks from Peter Thomas Roth and see which ones are worth buying in  the full size. Pink: Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair helps fight the signs of aging. It’s important to start using anti-aging products ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// HIGHLIGHTERS

I’ve been using the NARS Albatross as a highlighter for quite some time now. Don’t get me wrong, I love the highlight and glow it gives my skin, but I wasn’t completely satisfied. I wanted a highlighter that made glow from within. I’ve seen really good reviews on the Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter, so I gave it a try. All I can say is WOW! This stuff is no joke! I feel like my skin looks radiant ...

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// 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. ...
