May 2019 Empties

I’m back this month with more empties and for the second time in a row, I have a really big set of empties. I’m pretty determined to use up a lot of my skincare, and actually just passed on a bunch of it to some friends. As hard as I try, I am just not … Continue reading May 2019 Empties →

Luxe bases and neutrals, what else is new 😂 . Still loving the @byterryofficial products that were gifted to me, and the brush is seriously so soft. . Other mvp products: @tomfordbeauty reflects gilt @welovecoco / @chanel.beauty les indispensables @hourglasscosmetics strike lipgloss . We have a glorious cold front in DC and I'm savoring the dry and mild weather before we descend back into humid campiness 😂 what are your plans this weekend?

Having a bit of a moody Friday as I'm trying to wind down the week and relax. Working from home so I'm hoping to play around with the new @kosascosmetics liquid shadows later, which I'll try to post on my stories. . Also picked up the new @welovecoco @chanel.beauty rose nocturne lipstick that I cant wait to start wearing as fall slowly starts to creep on us. . @buxomcosmetics Seychelles blush @ritueldefille anthelion @ctilburymakeup flawless filter . What are some new products you're trying?

When I was first getting into makeup as a teenager, I was absolutely enamored with Japanese makeup. The first time I ever saw @jillstuartbeautyus I was obsessed with it, but the difficulty of getting it in the US at the time, and the higher price point made it inaccessible to my 16 year old self. . 10 years later, I'm finally trying the brand as a #jillgirl after the team reached out and generously gifted some of their products. . I'm not quite into the girly pink vibe anymore, but that doesnt take away my excitement at trying all the products. The mix compact blush in 17 is an ultra pigmented bright pink blush that is normally not my thing at all, but managed to give me a really pretty pink glow. I actually dont use the brush it comes with since I prefer a less densely packed brush to stipple it on. . My favorite product by far is the jelly eye color in a gorgeous taupe brown shade. It really feels like a jelly, and is really cooling on application. The shade itself has plenty of shimmer to create a really dewy wet look that I'm obsessed with. I definitely want to try more of these! . Finally I have 2 of the lip blossoms in sheer shades, that have a really glossy finish and feel really moisturizing on. The rosy pink shade is just my kind of shade, and even the plum shade, while not my normal go to color, has a gorgeous translucent berry color. . Needless to say, I'm absolutely enjoying the priducts I've been able to try and a little thrilled that I am finally trying a line that I've listed after for literally years. . Have you tried @jillstuartbeautyus yet? . . *all products gifted/unpaid ad

Hot and humid days means sultry warm tones with a healthy dose of glow. Riding out these humid days with these beauties: @iliabeauty liquid light* @beccacosmetics bronzed bondi bronzer @narsissist singapore quad @tomfordbeauty spice (how have I just discovered these cream shadows? They're amazing!) @kosascosmetics undone . I'm leaving for vacation in 10 days and the countdown is beginning! Who also has a vacation they're squeezing in before summer ends?

Currently so humid I can barely breathe 🙃 probably should have gone with a minimal look but the call of @tomfordbeauty body heat was too strong to ignore. . Also wearing: TF young ado is @tatcha sunscreen (+ unpictured @maccosmetics face and body) @maccosmetics hushed tone extra dimension blush @vincentlongocosmetics cheek stain (I think this line is discontinued?) @jillstuartbeautyus lipstick (gifted) . Plz send tips on staying cool and dry in this weather 😂

It's been awhile since I've had a #fotd and I loved how this @kosascosmetics 10 second liquid eyeshadow in 333 on me..so much that I bought this AND an icy blue instead of the neutrals I'm usually drawn to. The watercolor effect of these makes the colors easier to wear, though the color shades have a satin finish rather than a shimmer or glitter finish of the neutrals, and they have a learning curve with application that I'm still perfecting. . I'll be writing a full review of these soon but for now, heres a makeup look of me wearing color 😈 . Have you tried the new shadows yet? And let me know if you have any questions about them!
