Beauty Bag for Traveling – video with makeup + reviews

July 12, 2017 by

Ladies I often try to edit my suitcase and toiletry bag when traveling. In fact my dream is to be able to fit everything in a carry-on bag and little by little I'm getting there. I used to be that girl that flew with a ton of bags and wouldn't wear half of the stuff...such a waste of space and let's be honest with the airline companies charging extra for check-in bags who wants to go there!! Absolutely no judgement if you do ;) One day perhaps when I master the skill of editing clothes/shoes and bags I shall film a video for you on that, meantime I'm sticking with the beauty bag which is a huge progress, don't you think??! So here goes a quick vid on what I brought along on my…

Shine-Free Face for Summer

May 24, 2017 by

It's that time of the week again, time to talk beauty! I have to confess that beauty routines in the summer season can be tricky and sometimes pretty messy. Especially if you are in the heat of the midwest which is not a dry heat (that I so love) but instead a wet and yucky kinda heat. Ok, I'm giving you lots of visuals but don't go away yet!!!!! This week's video is one that I hope will help you layer the foundation to a healthy satin face and keep that stubborn shine away from your pretty face! Keep in mind my skin is combination so you might want to switch products up depending on your needs. I've been testing out this routine for a few weeks now and can tell you it's working…

Summer Basics + Beauty Tricks!

May 22, 2017 by

I've been all about the basics lately, very different than the girl who left fashion school 7 years ago...thank goodness for matured style! Anyway, I wore two looks this past week that made me so happy, hahaha I know I'm cheesy but what can say, some things never really do mature!! So if you're also into the basics that you can dress up or down you'll love these! Scroll all the way down for a summer beauty trick bonus video 💋 [show_shopthepost_widget id="2680290"] Note, my beloved Nixon watch has been restocked! Note 2: At work I replaced this ripped white denin for white pants without the rips and sans hat! Next is my favorite white pleated blouse that's no longer available (bummer) but I did find a few similar styles. [show_shopthepost_widget id="2680323"] I also replaced…

Sigma Ultimate Copper Eye Brush Set – Insta Eye Tutorial

May 18, 2017 by

Hey ladies, it feels like forever since I uploaded a beauty tutorial. These videos are the type of thing that the more you do the better they turn out except that life makes me take such long pauses between filming them that I'm always second guessing myself (oh the life of a blogger/youtuber). Anyway I wanted to show you a quick party eye tutorial to show you how and when you would use the different brushes in an eye set and I hope I accomplished just that! I've been using Sigma makeup brushes ever since I started to get a taste for makeup and they have been sturdy and strong throughout 5+ years of working in the makeup industry and filming videos. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan! [show_shopthepost_widget id="2676894"] Hope you enjoy…

Sigma Stellar Glow Collection

March 28, 2017 by

You're glowing!!! That's totally the reaction you'll get from the latest collection of loose glitters from Sigma. As I mention on the video I've always been a super fan of Sigma's brushes. Their sets offer a pretty fair price tag for professional brushes (think MAC like). I've purchased this set when I started to make YouTube videos and used on a ton of freelance work and they still feel and look like new. That being said I was excited to experiment with their makeup and so much more pleased to show you the results!! This is a spring look full of glow! Unfortunately I didn't thing the camera and lighting captured the true luminosity and shine of these products, so hopefully you'll get it when I show it closer. [show_shopthepost_widget id="2555843"] I really hope…
