Blog Kickoff: Everyday Staples

Hello! I am so excited to bring you my first post on this blog. I created this blog to be the counterweight to the endless blogs, Instagram accounts, and YouTube channels raving about the same products, telling you that you HAVE to buy a product because it’s AMAZING, or worse, because the packaging is so … Continue reading Blog Kickoff: Everyday Staples →

Rediscovering some things I love: @narsissist orgasm liquid blush and loose highlighter. The blush has such a long wearing formula and I love how they apply. The highlighter is also so pretty and a little goes a loong way. . I always love my @tomfordbeauty nude dip to create a subtle but slightly shimmery eye look, and I always seems to pair @burberry gold copper with it. I've been favoring a lighter eyeliner look some days so sometimes I'll just use the @marcjacobsbeauty rococoa liner. . @ctilburymakeup flawless filter is an MVP at this point, and with this cold weather, my @diormakeup lilac lip glow adds some much needed moisture and a slight hint of color. . I'm still experimenting with editing photos taken with my new camera and figuring out what works best. I'm not sure I like this edit, but we'll stick with it for now 🤔

Just some products getting a lot of use the past couple months. . @ctilburymakeup flawless filter (I think this is HG status) @patmcgrathreal bronze seduction and she's heaven lipstick @surrattbeauty blush palette @marcjacobsbeauty gloss stick . What are your recent favorites?

Back with the good lighting at home ☀️☀️ . I've been using the @patmcgrathreal metalmorphosis palete this weekend and loving it! When I first got it, I thought it would be impossible to create a wearable everyday look with this because the shades are so intense, but it was actually quite easy by using the dark purple shade as a liner, and then blending the bronze shade over my lid. I still cant wait to do some more fun looks with this though. . I also love the little blush duo I put together from @maccosmetics with ambering rose and melba. The two shades give me a more neutral and then a deeper option for when I want a real flush. I like layering them over a cream blush @stilacosmetics peony (see my grwm stories for how I layer products) . My base option has been the @skinfood_us peach bb cream that I found at @tjmaxx but I can't find it anywhere now, and I've been absolutely loving it. Does anyone know what's going on with skinfood? I keep reading that they're going out of business so I'm confused 🤔 . Finally, another shade of the @physiciansformula liquid lipsticks to round out the look. These are so underrated and so good!

Just another post of appreciation for @kjaerweis and their beautiful products. . Cream blush in Blossoming and eyeshadow in Magnetic. . The cream blush is still one of my favorite formulas for being so blendable and natural looking. The eyeshadow is really another bronzey neutral shade I always gravitate to but I just can't resist the packaging. . I want other shades but I'm waiting to finish one of the pans I have to get another blush so I dont keep buying the compacts, and something about me just wants the pan in these compacts rather than in a zpalette or other empty palette. The refillable packaging is one of my favorite things about the brand because they've made the compacts feel special, and not just another plastic container, and it incentivizes me to use and reuse rather than collect. . What else do you love from Kjaer Weis?

Some bright and sunny things for the feed today since we'll be getting more snow today. . @touchland* sent me some hand sanitizers and they immediately went into my handbags. They are the nicest hand sanitizers and the only way I can describe them is elegant. The spray nozzle is elegant and they look sleek, so they can slip into my bags. . I need all the glow I can get these days, so I'm loading up on vitamin c serums. The @lumeneusa glow booster* has been really great for gently brightening my skin. My skin is a touch more sensitive these days due to the dry weather so this has been perfect. . @sheroscience was also so kind to send me their vitamin c serum* which I cant wait to try. . What are you doing to add some glow and life back to your skin? *gifted

Trying some new things and shopping my collection. . I got this @tomfordbeauty bronzer over the summer and I was already too tan for it, but it's actually a perfect shade for me now. I also love wearing @burberry blush in peony for a cool flush. The cool toned blush actually works really well for my skin, and it gives a subtle but really natural looking flush on me. . I have also been trying the @kaleidocosmetics spongy eyeshadows* which are like gel cream shadows and I love the finish. I'm still testing for longevity but the shades are gorgeous! . I also have been reaching for these @physiciansformula liquid lipsticks a lot. I love the shades and I find that they're a comfortable formula for a liquid lipstick. . *pr gifted
