January Beauty Buys

As you know, we love to talk about products around here. And in response to our 2017 Survey, 89% of  you requested more beauty and wellness reviews, tutorials and videos, which made me excited because it is genuinely one of my favorite topics as well. With that being said, this year, I am kicking off my newest series, Monthly Beauty Buys, where I highlight my recent purchases, both beauty and wellness, and share a mini review. ...

The Holiday Collection Beauty Buys

There's nothing quite like a new shade of lipstick just in time for the holidays. As a self proclaimed product junkie, I have been very excited to share this gift guide with you! Whether your shopping for your mom, sister or friend, these are sure to put a smile on someone's face. I always look forward to the holiday gift sets. And while, I might be a sucker for the cute packaging, I also look for products I will actually use throughout the year. This lipstick set from Laura Mercier is a practical (and cute) gift set. The colors compliment most skin tones and I find they look great worn alone or as a trio. Nordstrom has a ton of options so if you're looking for more red or nude colors, they've got you covered! Here, I've layered on the pink lipgloss (included in the kit) and I love the pop of pink. It's such a fun color! A great "all in one" option is the Enchanted Eve Face ...

Recent Beauty Buys

With a new season approaching, it's time to start transitioning our summer makeup to something a little more neutral or bold for Fall. Just like we switch up our wardrobe, the same is true for our makeup. Here are a few easy ways to freshen up your makeup bag for fall. Before I start sharing my recent beauty finds, what better way to store your makeup than a personalized makeup bag or monogrammed acrylic case? These are two items that will definitely last you all year long, and are perfect for storing your makeup or jewelry. Makeup brushes can make all the difference when applying foundation or contouring. Recently, I purchased 3 new brushes from Sigma Beauty. I am new to the brand, but was pretty impressed with the reviews and the price point. Brushes can be so expensive, but these seemed more affordable than most and still maintained good quality. So are they worth it? Yes! These brushes are amazing. They are made from Sigmax Synthetic Fibers, meaning they don't absorb liquid or cream foundations and I have found that they don't shed like many natural hair brushes. Using these brushes have made a huge difference with applying my makeup ...

Recent Beauty Buys

Happy Friday everyone! I have been getting some requests to bring back my Beauty Talk series so I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my recent beauty buys- specifically for eyes and brows. If you are new to my blog, you need to know I have a thing for makeup and skin care. While in high school and college I worked part time at a beauty salon and loved every second of it. I guess that's where I picked up my love for products and desire to learn more about them and how they work on our skin! I'm always looking to learn more and hear about your favorites so feel free to comment below! I've had my eye on the Small York Cosmetic Case for a while, and finally pulled the trigger when my other case wore out. I love it! I was a little worried it wouldn't fit everything, but I have been really happy with the structure and quality of this little bag. It fits the right amount for the girl on the go! Let's talk about brows. This has been the hardest part for me to "get right". I just could not find the right color or tool to make my ...

Introducing My New Brand: THIS Beauty

In case you missed it, I announced the launch of my new brand, THIS Beauty, last week. It came with so many emotions, so many things to do, and so much gratitude that it's taken me until now to write a blog post about it. I developed THIS for this community, so it only makes sense to share the story here. ...

Keep or Skip: Beauty Edition

I know there is a lot of product sharing out there in the influencer world, myself included. We're always sharing what we love or what works for us, but something I don't share too often is when a product doesn't work for me. I usually only focus on the stuff that I love but I thought it might be helpful, especially for those of y'all who know you have similar skin to me or whatever, to start sharing the items that didn't work out for me. This isn't to bash the brand or ANYTHING like that, and instead, I'm just trying to share the good and the bad (for me). ...
