Fall Makeup with Tartelette in Bloom

October 15, 2020

This is the everyday makeup look that I’ve been gravitating to, now that I’m wearing deeper & warmer colors for fall. I have been using the Tartelette in Bloom palette a lot lately. I am huge fan of Tarte’s makeup & this palette is just so pretty! It’s the right combination of warm & cool neutrals, plus matte & shimmer, for everyday looks. The shades are richly pigmented, plus have staying power because they’re made with Amazonian clay. Because all of the shades coordinate so well, it’s easy to transition from a day to night look without having to completely re-do your makeup. Read on to see how I use the Tartelette in Bloom palette for an easy, everyday daytime look that’s perfect for fall!

Updated Skincare Routine

September 3, 2020

Hello friends! I get lots of comments & questions about my skincare, so I thought that I would put it all in one quick & easy post today. Skincare is 100% based on your personal skin type & I am not an expert, so please don’t assume that what works for me will automatically work for you. It’s important to listen to your skin & treat it accordingly. My skin tends to be oily, but not overly sensitive, with some large pores that get clogged easily. I’m also 39, so treating & preventing wrinkles, & brightening skin is a huge concern.

My Favorite Lipstick Combos

Tomorrow is #NationalLipstickDay! Lipstick is sometimes a forgotten-about step in my makeup routine, but it always makes a look more polished. I have a go-to lipstick in everyday nude, pretty pink, & classic red that are easy to grab when I’m running out of the door. I almost always wear gloss over lipstick for shine & Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper has been my go-to lately. It comes in 4 sheer colors, plus clear, & gives you fuller lips! Read on for my favorite lipsticks, including affordable drugstore options that I wear!
