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 ...

DIY DISTRESSED DENIM

It’s true, I have an unhealthy obsession with holes in my jeans. Most of my denim collection consists of distressed jeans. I do have some with no distressing. At my job we can’t wear jeans only, on days where the elementary school kids do (free dress days are the best days). When I can wear jeans at work, I wear jeans with no holes because I still want to look professional (a previous school I worked at allowed jeans, but none ...

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, ...

SUNSET LOVIN’

Sunsets during spring and summer are one my favorite things. I love when the sun sets later and our days are longer. There is nothing more relaxing than going for a walk while the sun sets. Plus that glow from the sunset is pretty dreamy! After a day hanging out by the pool, I slipped into this comfy maxi dress and went sans makeup for the rest of the evening. I found this maxi dress at Target a few weeks ago. The price tag said it was its ...

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 ...
