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 ...

UPDOS AND LASHES

^Before hair and makeup^ Oh prom! I remember thinking prom was the biggest deal, when it really wasn’t, but to a teenager your priorities are different. My little sister, Katie, had prom a few weeks ago. I did her hair and makeup, which was so much fun! I thought I would share with you all what the finish product was.  I knew right away that I wanted her hair to be up and out of her face. She has extremely thick hair, but that just ...

Everyday Neutral Makeup

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend, I know I did. Today I wanted to talk about my everyday neutral makeup look. Although I love getting dolled up, putting a full face of makeup just isn’t practical for me everyday. I work as a preschool teacher and honestly I just want to look presentable, but not like I rolled out of bed. So here is what I do: 1. After I have washed my face, I apply Josie Maran Aragan Oil, (sometimes I use ...

Favorite Lip Colors

 1. Bite Beauty in Honey Berry, this is a great neutral that isn’t quite the same color as mine skin so it doesn’t make my lips disappear. This is one of my go to colors! I plan on trying other colors from Bite Beauty because this lipstick is amazing 2. NARS Roman Holiday, a sheer bubble pink color. It’s very subtle, but adds a beautiful color. I love the texture of this one because it is not drying. This is my other go to ...
