So last week I brought you two tutorials on everyday things: My current foundation routine (check that out here if you missed it) and a tutorial on how I fill and shape my eye brows (yup, you can see that here too).  So to round it all out, I felt it only appropriate to do an updated tutorial on the full makeup look I've been wearing most lately.

This look is one of my favorites because it's easy, not too fussy, and is appropriate to wear anywhere. It's one of those "go-to" looks for me that I can do easily without really thinking and works no matter what. I love it!

I also love that it's also a bit different and not the typical more "natural" colors you'd think of most often for a more everyday look. The taupe-y purple makes it a bit different, but still just as wearable.

So check out my video below and get ready with me! I hope you guys enjoy it!

I also did a little OOTD in this one. I LOVE this jacket. Well, that and this whole look in general. I love that it looks put-together, but not too put-together, you know what I mean? Do you see a pattern in this post?
That's what I like to always go for both with beauty and fashion.  So I took some quick pics of the look to share (my photographer wasn't home). ;)
You can get a better look at it in the video!

While the top is no longer available, I found a super cute option below that I just might have to pick up myself...

So today we're talkin' brows. Everything brows. From my favorite tried and true products, my best tips, and of course, my go-to brow tutorial.  I love doing these every now and then because products change, methods change, and like everything else, it sort of just improves and evolves. So of course, I love sharing all the details with you all!
It's basically a big ol' brow video.

What makes brows so interesting is that they are so unique from person to person.  Different shapes, sizes, shades... SO different. You've probably heard this said a million times before, but they really do frame your face. Just like other facial features, everyone has different brows for a reason. They go with your face!

So that's why brow tutorials can be tricky. I always say that you've got to work with what you've got. So while there is no exact right or wrong way to do them because everyone needs something a little different, you can hopefully use some of my tips I've learned over the years (mostly from my own trial and error), to help you get your most perfect brows!
Hope you love it!

Hello and Happy Monday, Loves!
I'm excited to share with you all what has become a much-requested video recently...  A video allll about the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders.

I have a bit of an obsession with these. Not going to lie, I wasn't over-the-moon about them when I purchased my first. I look back and think that was probably because I was expecting some super bright highlight shade? I have no idea. What's strange is that while these may not be super bright or heavily frosted, they actually show up better than any highlight shade I've ever owned and cast the most flattering appearance.

Basically, they are the culprit behind my "glowing skin" of late. No babies yet, guys. ;)

Anyway, these are a super versatile product and come in a variety of shades, not so typical to the average "highlighting" powder. These are so much more. While certain shades work best for certain things, you can use them as an "all-over" powder, to highlight specific areas of the face, to "set" foundation or the under-eye area, and even to enhance bronzer and blush on your cheeks.

So check out my new video below for basically everything you'd ever need to know about these and a little demo showing how I use them.

Hello and Happy Saturday to you all! Today I'm bringing you all a different type of video from me... A "Get Ready With Me" video. I've done one of these before that was really in-depth, showing shower products, hair, makeup, etc, but I thought for the sake of not being redundant, I'd do one showing just my makeup since the other products really have not changed much.
While filming a video in this way was a bit different for me, I really enjoyed it!
Let me explain...
So usually for makeup tutorials, I have a look planned out and already completed on one eye. For the sake of time, and replicating the look I originally planned, I usually just do the one eye for tutorials.
This video is different because I literally sat down at my makeup table and turned on the camera... Filming my makeup routine for that particular day using the Lorac Pro Palette which I love so much.

I created a really simple look, perfect for Fall! I hope you all love it!

Hello and happy Friday, everyone! So I've always shared individual makeup tutorials and OOTDs with you all throughout the years. However, I've never done a full video showing my full morning routine.  You'll see all my favorite products I use in the shower, my skincare products and routine, makeup routine, hair routine, and how I pick out clothes to get ready.

Even a little tour of our master bathroom snuck in there.

So basically this video is a doozie. SO much crammed into one!

I hope you guys love it!  Don't miss all the OOTD details below as well.

This dark lip look is one of my favourite looks for the winter season.  It was seen on so many people recently and I was inspired by looks from Kate Bosworth and Camilla Belle.
