Say Goodbye to Makeup Wipes, Seriously!

May 5, 2017

As you can already tell this post is going to be a bit, heartbreaking ladies. Sometimes taking your makeup off is the last thing you want to do before bed. You can't tell a girl that takes 510 minutes to do her makeup, that she can't come home, use a makeup wipe, and NOT go to sleep yet. Doesn't the world know that makeup wipes are a lazy-glam girls bestie? I think we all know that coming home late and wanting to wash your face can be an extra task. That's why God made makeup wipes right?

My New Favorite Eyeliner!


On a good day, my winged liner comes out just about perfect. Though this "winged liner" journey of mine hasn't always been smooth sailing, it's gotten better with practice. Just like everything else in life. On my journey to a more slayed liner, I've tried a lot of different liners. But this one though, girl!

How to Wash Your Makeup Brushes

April 29, 2017



I remember back in my Ulta days I would constantly have my clients ask me how should I wash my makeup brushes? How do I wash them and what should I use? I just always remember breaking it down to them as my brush 101 and I'm going to do the same thing for you.

Foundation that's as Light as Water!

When I first saw this product I immediately was intrigued. I mean come on, a foundation that's as light as water, gimmie gimmie! When you get down to the nitty gritty of this product it's basically water with pigment. Like everyone else, I was thinking, how is this even going to last one my face considering how oily I can be?  Will it work with my skin?  So being the little guinea pig that I am, I gave in, purchased it and gave it a try! 




Initially, I wasn't even sure how to apply this product. I was told to use a sponge for the application or my bare hands (wasn't into that). So I actually decided to use my BareMinerals perfecting foundation brush because I thought that would be a lot easier for the application. When I tried it for the first time I found that the product went into the brush and it didn't sit on the top.

Garnier Micellar Water

I really don't know why I haven't tried this product sooner. Everyone's raving about this product online and on youtube so I decided to give it a try. I honestly have to say at first, I wasn't sure what the difference was between the blue and the pink bottle. Being that I'm a lover of pink, I picked up the pink one. But just so you know, the blue top is for waterproof makeup removal, k?!
Being that my skin is extremely sensitive I have to be careful what I chose to put on my skin. I've noticed that my skin hates alcohol so this product was super eye catching for me. This cleansing water has Micellar technology, meaning that the micelles grab makeup, oil and dirt like a magnet!

This cleansing water makes makeup removal a breeze without harsh rubbing. All you'll need is a cotton round, the cleanser and you're ready to roll. As soon as I started using it I noticed how quickly it removed my makeup and it even removed my Benefit mascara which can be hard to remove. The Micellar water has a very gentle cleansing formula and it doesn't make my skin feel srtipped or super dry. My skin actually felt refreshed and rejuvinated after use. In my own opinion, this cleanser isn't enough for me for just a one step clean. I still like to use my own facial cleanser just to make sure everything is completely off my face. However, I will say this cleanser is a great first step cleanser and it makes second step cleansing a much quicker process.

I highly recommend that try this product and you can get yours here. You'll love it just as much as I do!
