  • I had the opportunity to test out the new bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick for free thanks to Influenster. All opinions are my own. First, let me say I’m not typically a fan of stick foundations. They usually feel heavy and they’re a pain to blend, but this foundation solves both of those problems. It glides onto the skin with a refreshing, water-like sensation. It blends out easily with a brush or sponge, and feels lightweight on the skin. It has medium coverage and a radiant finish. Now for the downsides. The shade range kinda sucks. Although there are 20 shades, they’re mostly suited to light-medium skin. If you have fair skin or medium-deep to deep skin, you’ll likely struggle to find a shade that matches you because there aren’t enough options at either end of the spectrum. If this foundation isn’t set with powder, it has a sort of wet feeling to it and it transfers very easily. Once it’s set with powder this is no longer a problem, but it’s something to be aware of, especially if you prefer not to set your foundation. It’s also not a great fit for oily skin or people in hot, humid, or wet climates because water/sweat can cause the foundation to break down. I wore it on a rainy day and the rain caused the foundation to wear away a lot quicker than it ordinarily would and get patchy. Lastly, I’m not the biggest fan of the way this foundation sits on my pores. Over most of my skin it looks great, but where I have larger pores beside my nose and mouth, it settles into my pores a little bit. Overall, I actually like this foundation because of the finish, coverage, and hydration, but it’s definitely not without its flaws. ⬅️For a before and after.

  • ✨New blog post✨ I went into a ton of detail about how I created my everyday eyeshadow palette, including how I chose the shades and how I decided to organize them. I also included a few color combination ideas at the end! I really hope this helps you! 💋
  • Today, on #internationalwomensday I want to say thank you to the women in my life and worldwide who continuously inspire me. You inspire me to work harder, explore possibilities I never would have even realized were possible, and become a stronger, braver, more empathetic person. Cheers to you all 🥂 . .

  • Happy Sunday! What are you up to today? I started my day with an excellent HIIT workout, a delicious smoothie 😋 and now I’m getting ready to watch my beloved Golden Knights play some hockey! There’s also a new review up on my blog, and lemme tell ya, @narsissist Powermatte Lip Pigment has been dominating my daily makeup routine. I would buy every single shade if I could afford to! Check out the #blogpost if you want the full deets. 💋 #nars #narsissist #narspowermattelippigment #narsamericanwoman
  • To celebrate #NationalLashDay we’re chatting about the new @marcjacobsbeauty #VelvetPrimer, the partner to one of my favorite mascaras, #VelvetNoir. But here’s the twist: I’m not a fan of lash primers. If you’re curious to hear what someone who doesn’t like lash primers thinks of the #MarcJacobsVelvetPrimer head over to my blog to read my review. *PR sample
