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 ...

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 ...
