Months have passed since this new clean beauty brand from WHO WHAT WEAR founder hit the scene. My YouTube video gives you a great visual of how the products worked on my skin, but now that it’s been a minute, let’s discuss my feelings on the products and what I continue to reach for. The ultimate in ‘no makeup minimalist makeup,’ Merit Beauty gives you…
Making the switch to clean/natural deodorants can be a massive learning curve with a transition phase for many as the body adjusts to not using aluminum. Even if you’ve successfully made the switch, maybe you’re like me, and all of a sudden, as your body changes with time, your favorite clean deodorant stops working and starts irritating you. OR… perhaps natural deodorants have always irritated…
It’s the time of the year I love looking forward to – the November 2021 Sephora Sale and with that, comes November 2021 Sephora Sale Recommendations! If you’ve been eyeing stuff I talk about from Sephora, but prefer to wait for a time that you can save some cash, this is for you. Sephora does this two times a year (again in the spring) for…
My hormonal acne skincare routine started because going through infertility treatments has had such a negative effect on my skin – enlarged pores (more than normal), breakouts everywhere (all different types), such congested skin… it was just so out of whack. No different than when you’re pregnant, there are so many ingredients we CANNOT use to combat acne during this time, I am limited in…
I haven’t talked about nails and nailcare on the blog for a long time!! But it’s something I’ve been asked about lately on my Instagram and I figured may as well share an updated tip on clean nail polish and nailcare. Which brings me to my new MUST HAVE, favorite cleaner nail polishes I’ve been obsessed with – Olive and June. These polishes are hands…
Cream makeup is literally EVERYWHERE lately… and for good reason! It’s super easy to apply, looks extremely natural, and doesn’t require fancy tools and brushes. So… PERFECT timing to try out the NEW Beautycounter Lid Glow Cream Shadows, in 10 gorgeous glowy shades. Let’s chat more in my Beautycounter Lid Glow Cream Shadows review and take a look at them all……
Makeup is certainly making a comeback after the massive shift from skincare-ONLY routines in 2020. With that, I feel like everyone is launching new mascaras lately… especially in the clean beauty realm. Honestly, rightfully so because clean mascaras are pretty hard to get right. Ask me two years ago and I would tell you they all either didn’t perform well, smudged or flaked. But lately,…
As many are getting ready for back to school, I’m still very much living in the summer and enjoying all things hot weather – lighter/less makeup, focusing on good skincare, less layers, less fuss and more fun. BUT! With September on the horizon and many beauty routines getting adjusted with the change in seasons, I wanted to share some of my favorite skincare and makeup…
Is this going to be the battle of the year!? I think so! NEW launch from Beautycounter, Think Big All In One Mascara, looks awfully similar to the cult favorite, Thrive Causemetics Lash Extensions mascara. But how to do two fare against one another? As someone who has been very loyal to Thrive for a long time (years before getting into almost exclusively using clean…
It’s been awhile since I shared some fashion tips here, but when something REALLY good comes along, I have to memorialize it here on the blog for future reference… and bodysuits are one of these current trends that I think should stay awhile… for a few reasons. ESPECIALLY if you’re a mom – trust me on this! But even if you’re not… these three bodysuits…
I’m so glad I’ve perfected my clean, nontoxic self tan routine! Years ago, I did my old self tanning recommendations and routine and it’s fair to say that you wouldn’t catch me using ANY OF those products anymore. Although they did/do get the job done, I don’t feel comfortable recommending those products due to the ingredients being questionable for safety. With that said, that doesn’t…
Maybe it’s just me because I’m in my mid thirties now, but the importance of SPF is RAGING all over my social media! Rightfully so, since it is the number ONE way to prevent aging signs from catching up with us, as well as, other sun related damage. But for me, as someone with imperfect skin from acne scarring, I prefer my face SPF to…
