January 2019 Empties

I don’t know about you, but 2019 is already kicking my butt. If that’s not a convincing first line, I just originally typed 2017…..instead of 2019. Apparently my brain is lagging behind 2 years (though I’m quite happy to leave 2018 behind anyway). Over the past month, I managed to use up a ton of … Continue reading January 2019 Empties →

February 2018 Empties

If seeing cut up tubes and empty containers isn’t your thing, click away from this post now. But, if you’re like many people who have enough product to stock an entire department store, and then some, and are always trying to clear out more products to make room for more, then these are the posts … Continue reading February 2018 Empties →

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 →

An easy shot today to show my makeup and still trying to take a step back to recalibrate. Thank you all for your kind words and support yesterday! It's a good reminder of why im here, and the community I've found is priceless to me. . Remember how I said I was done buying the @yslbeauty #yslxzoekravitz lipsticks? Nope. I bad to pick up honey's nude too. I can safely pass on scouts red because I just dont wear bright orange reds, but this one had to be mine. . Also wearing a few new products today, including the @ctilburymakeup foundation that I'm hoping to be able to wear test for you all today with a super glowy base like the @byterryofficial cc serum. I've got a bit of a busy weekend so I may not be able to do stories updates like I did last week but I'll try! Also wearing the new palette and bette eyeshadow, which I've been wanting to get for ages. . Also presenting...@chantecaille cheetah! I'm so glad I finally got my hands on it with a hefty discount thanks to a @Nordstrom note.
Real talk ramble: Feeling a bit burned out after all the foundation and other makeup testing that its just an outtake today. Need to recalibrate and get some creative inspiration back. . I'm not liking any of my current backlog of photos and while I try my best to stick to my style and more off the cuff shots, I definitely fall into the trap of comparing myself to other people and wishing I had 1. the creativity 2. the time 3. the equipment/lighting of other accounts I love and admire. . At the end of the day I have to always remind myself that the purpose of this account was not to become a "content creator," much as it sometimes seems like it veers in that direction. My original purpose was to have an outlet to talk about my biggest hobby and passion - makeup, and the products that I buy and wear. That's very different from the beautifully styled studio-level product photos I see because frankly, I am not patient enough to set it all up, and I am definitely not a perfectionist. Is that..like a taboo thing to say that I'm NOT a perfectionist when society tells us everyone has to be super achieving go getters and leaders otherwise we're failing? Another conversation for another day. . I like the raw last minute photos and ideas, and even the photos I take in advance are minimally styled and edited. This is all to say that I have to remind myself that it's ok to be different and not be as artistic or creative or perfectly themed because that wasnt the point of my account, much as I sometimes feel the pressure to go in that direction. This account is a fun place for me and when I feel stressed out I know it's time to step back and remind myself of my purpose. . I hope it all comes through and I hope you all hold me accountable to staying true to my style and true to myself. . With that long ramble through, enjoy some pretty products I took photos of while I was at home in NJ 😍if you made it all the way through to this sentence you have my gratitude. . @colourpopcosmetics she palette @patmcgrathreal foundation @chantecaille pangolin @lxmiofficial goddess glow @byterryofficial cc powder (gifted) @beccacosmetics camellia blush @narsissist anita
With me at all times: @sudio tolv earbuds* for the most stylish earbuds and klar noise cancelling headphones* for when I'm traveling or working at home @kosascosmetics lip oil and newly acquired vegas lipstick @jomalonelondon blackberry and bay @mejuri bracelet* And assorted rings from local artists . I've been using the @sudio earbuds almost nonstop and love how they perform. If you're looking for a functional and beautiful present, these are a great choice! I also have a 15% off code 'sudio297' if you want to make a purchase. . These all basically live in my bag, along with probably 12 other lip products 😅 what are your on the go essentials?
#AD | I’ve been using this @temptu core7 anti-aging hydration serum for a full month now and I’m ready to share a full review. I shared a preview a couple weeks ago about my experience 2 weeks into using it, but the serum that can be used daily in your skincare routine as well as skin prep before makeup.  I’ve known @temptu for years as being leaders in the airbrush makeup industry, so I was excited to see how their first foray into skincare could improve my makeup application. .  The serum is an oil-serum that has antioxidants, fatty acids, and peptides to help hydration, anti-aging, and make the skin look smoother and brighter. I’ve been using this as a serum in my am and pm routine and I can confidently say that with the cold winter fast approaching, this is helping my skin stay more hydrated and balanced throughout the day. With my combination skin, I don’t reach for oils in the morning, but the lighter texture of this makes my foundation apply smoothly without contributing to oil production throughout the day. It also gives a slight illuminating effect even though it doesn’t have any noticeable shimmer, which I’m a HUGE fan of. . Even 1 month is a bit too soon to see anti-aging effects, but I do think this helpsmake my skin feel smoother and look brighter as well as improving how my foundation applies. I will certainly keep using this throughout the winter to help my makeup apply more smoothly! For $45 (and keeping an eye on sales like the 25% off they're doing right now), I think this is reasonable for the effects that I’m getting, and it is also available in the airbrush pods if you have the system already. . To add to the glow, I’ve been layering this combo over the serum (although I’m still taking it slow with fully testing the @ctilburymakeup foundation): @lxmiofficial goddess glow @ctilburymakeup flawless filter @clarinsusa a blackberry lip oil @kjaerweis captivate . If you all have tried this serum, let me know! #sponsored
Back to my sunless lighting and cool tones. Pausing my foundation testing until the weekend when I can really monitor how it wears so back to my standby, @maccosmetics face and body for now - it's what I wear 90%of the time. . Decided to take out the good old @loraccosmetics pro palette 2 to use this month because I love the mix of cool and neutral warm shades. I also freaking love the @colourpopcosmetics and Disney princess blushes! I'm not a cutesy packaging girl but these are pretty and the powders inside are fantastic. . @ctilbury pillow talk lip lustre is a great neutral pink lipgloss/lipstick hybrid that lasts and also feels moisturizing, and @narsissist fort de France is my go to highlighter these days. . Who's feeling like both a deflated balloon and very bloated balloon after all the food and sales? 🙃
Have you all ever heard of a brand called @mejuri? Did you know they're having a sale? 😂😂😂 ok but bear with yet another post telling you about the only sale they do all year. . I am not a jewelry person. I have 5 rings, a pair of studs, and a necklace that I wear every single day, and I only take off my rings at the gym and when I'm showering. I dont change out my jewelry daily and I am super picky with what I buy - and also, why is there so much more gold jewelry on the market?? . When @mejuri reached out to me I had been ogling their site for ages already and had just never bit the bullet (in fact, I was planning on waiting for this sale!) . I've been lacking a good simple bracelet for a long time, because again, I'm picky, and most of them are too big for my wrist. I picked out the silver dome bracelet* for it's simple design, and because it has a smaller chain that actually fits snugly ok my wrist!! I couldnt be more happy with it after seeing it in person and it's going in my daily jewelry immediately. . You probably all already know, but today is the last day of the sale where you get 10% off 1 item, 15% off 2, and 20% off 3 or more pieces. If you get anything, let me know! . *gifted
