When applying our makeup, it is so important to have the right tools to pull the whole look together. Makeup brushes may seem like your last priority to buy but when it comes to a brush like this, it’s worth the buy. That’s why I use the Sigma F8 Flat Kabuki Foundation brush. This brush leaves an amazing finish to my foundation. It’s spreads it very easily and it doesn’t absorb a ton of the product. Before I used this brush, I always felt like my foundation was just absorbed into sponges and brush and I never got the full amount on my face. This brush distributes the amount of foundation that I intend for my face. The flat top to this kabuki also insured that the foundation isn’t streaky when applied. This brush is about $25 and definitely worth the price. If you purchase on the site for the first time you can receive a discount code, which is what I did when I first purchased it. Try this brush out, trust me, you’ll be hooked!

It’s time for me to come on here and share with you one of my best kept secrets.. well I don’t know if I can consider it a secret BUT, I absolutely LOVE this product. It is the Impress Press On Manicure. So what is different about these particular ones? Well I’ll tell ya. First off, the nails come in two different lengths, short and long. The short ones are the perfect length in my opinion. I don’t care for nail length that is too extremely long so these short nails are perfect for me. The second thing I love about them is the fact that they have stickers on the back. No glue is needed to apply these nails. All you have to do is peel the sticker and apply them to the desired nails. Lastly, It comes with 30 nails, in all shapes and sizes which means you can wear you package more than one time. These are so affordable that you have to try them out at least once! Let me know what you think about them.

Today we are talking about my Go-To Purse! I gotta say that I’m a gal that likes to switch it up a bit when it comes to purses BUT ever since I’ve got this purse, I keep going back to it. It’s the perfect size to fit all my essentials and so easy to throw over my shoulder and go. This is a Kate Spade Black crossbody purse and I’ve had this one for about 3 years now. The leather has barely any imperfections on it after having it all this time. Unfortunately, they don’t make the same style that I own anymore but below I have attached some that are of similar style and color as mine.

1. Sydney Double-Zip Crossbody

2. Polly Medium Crossbody

3. Reese Park Wyn

4. Polly Medium Double Gusset Crossbody

I’m in love with the third one featured and almost bought it a couple of weeks ago. The only reason I didn’t is because I love the one I already have. So I ended up getting something that was different from what I already have. So if you’re in need of a nice, sturdy, fashionable crossbody, check out these options. They are totally worth the splurge!

I have to share with you all my Go-To Phone Case that I’ve had for almost a year now. It’s a marble holographic case and it’s from the brand Milkyway. I have to be honest, before I purchased from this website, I knew nothing about them. I needed a phone case for my phone and they had exactly what I wanted for a decent price. I paid less than $20 for this phone case so I didn’t have a high expectation. It was so worth the purchase though. This phone case still looks new on the back and there’s only a little bit of wear on the rubber area around the front of the screen. The color of the rubber is a darker shade than it’s original state. I have loved this case from the minute I’ve gotten it and have received so many compliments for it. Above I have linked the exact phone case (attached to the picture) so you can browse their website. Let me know if you have a phone case from their site or plan on purchasing one!

Do you ever just have those days where the thought of washing and drying your hair is just not on your agenda? Those days when you wake up late and washing your hair will take too long. I think we’ve all been there and I’m here to share with you my favorite way to solve those problems. I use the Dove Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo. I’ve been using it for about 6 years now. I have tried multiple types of dry shampoo, I always came back to Dove’s though. It’s handy tool to have on those days like I mentioned before. So if you’re in the market for a new dry shampoo or have never tried it, give Dove’s a shot. You’re not gonna regret it! 😁

P.S. I linked the exact dry shampoo to the photo I included above.

Summer is on its way which means one thing for our hair, beachy waves please! I don’t know about you, but I’m all about working the beachy hair all summer long. It’s definitely a go-to look for me because I don’t like to use a lot of heat on my hair during the summer months. So I just grab my bottle of Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray (linked to the photo) and spray all through my hair to look beach ready. Using this spray also makes my hair maintenance routine super quick and easy. If you’re someone who can appreciate a quick and easy hair routine, this is one for you. All I do is after I wash my hair and comb through it, I spray this in my hair, blow dry it, then twist my hair and clip it up while I do my makeup. Once I’m ready to leave I take the hair out then tossle it and that’s it! Super simple, easy, and you end up with gorgeous waves. What more can you ask for? Haha what’s your go-to hairstyle for summer?

Do you ever just have one of those days when you get home from work, school, or just a long exhausting day and want to chill and watch something on Netflix? Then you open up the app just to see millions of different options of what you can watch. Well I’m here to help you with what to choose next. I don’t know about you, but I’m all about watching shows that are funny and put me in a good mood, especially if it’s before I go to bed. I don’t like to watch anything too dark or serious, just lighthearted and fun. Which is why “The Office” has been my go-to show to stream for a couple years now. I can’t suggest this show enough to people. Those you that have already watched the show and are fans will attest to this, it’s AMAZING! Such a great show with stupid humor that you can’t help but laugh at. The best part about this show is that I’ve watched all of the episodes multiple times and still laugh at new things I never caught before that. My one piece of advice I give to all the people I suggest the show to is to make sure you give season 1 a chance. It’s rough starting and if it doesn’t seem interesting enough for you, then just skip to Season 2, Episode 1 (trust me, that’s when it gets good). So make sure you check out “The Office” and don’t be intimidated by the many seasons, once you get started you’re gonna wish there was more!

Anybody else have an obsession with any type of spa mask? Face, lips, under eyes, you name it and I’m obsessed with them. So when I came across this lip mask online I knew I needed it! It’s called Laneige Special Care Lip Sleeping Mask in the flavor Berry. The box instructs you to use the applicator (included in box) to apply all over lips until fully coated. I noticed the more I put on, the better the result. Then you just go to bed and once you wake, you wipe off the excess. And that’s it! I’ve noticed that my lips the next morning are super hydrated and I love the way it makes them feel. If you struggle with dry lips then this is the overnight trick to fix them. It makes them silky smooth and it’s my favorite lip moisturizing product, next to my go-to lip balm. Make sure you check out this product on Sephora (I linked the photo above to take you to the product online).

About a year ago, I was walking through Marshall’s and I found this mirror. Not just any mirror but the Impression Touch 2.0 LED Mirror. What’s so great about it? Well for starters, it has a touch button on the bottom center that turns on 22 little LED lights to help illuminate your face. Second, it’s small enough and adjustable to easily throw in your weekend bag or suitcase to use when traveling. Lastly, the ‘on’ button can also dim the lights just by holding it in after turning it on. It’s a super handy mirror. I love this mirror and love the other options the brand, Impressions Vanity Co, offers on their website. Some of the mirrors on the site get on the pricier end but if you’re lucky you can find the Touch 2.0 at Marshall’s and TJ-Maxx for only $15-$20. These mirrors are definitely worth it though if you travel a lot and struggle with finding mirror space on your trips. Make sure you check these out, it’s worth a peruse and you’ll understand why it’s one of my go-tos. (Click the picture above and it will take you right to their website for this product!)
