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 ...

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. ...

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner ladies! That means it’s the perfect time to try a bold lip for date night. I thought it would be fitting to post about pink and red lipstick shades. Before applying any lip color, read about what I suggest you use as a primer here. Trust me, it will help your color last! Alright, starting from the bottom left is MAC Russian Red. It’s a bold, classic blue undertones red. It’s a ...

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 ...

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. I do love doing dutch fishtails and other braided messy styles, but since having Caden, I have the dreaded baby hairs literally all over my ...

SEPHORA HAUL

Clinique Pep-Start is an eye cream that is suppose to brighten and hydrate the area around your eyes. So far a really like this product. I do feel like it helps wake my eyes up and gives them that extra brightness they need to look well rested, which I need as of lately! Fresh Soy Face Cleanser was a sample I was given. I use it every night with my Clarisonic. It feels really gentle on my skin and my face feels refreshed after using it. This ...
