I love getting all dolled up, but I’d be lying if I said I was a beauty guru. I most certainly am not! But I do enjoy sharing helpful tips and tricks when it comes to hair, makeup, and skincare that work for me. And I love sharing new products I’ve fallen in love with as well. Find those here!
It’s here! The spring Sephora Savings Event is one of my favorite times to stock up on all of my beauty essentials. Sephora very rarely offers discounts, and it’s even rarer for them to discount popular brands like Oribe and Giorgio Armani. I get a lot of questions about the sale every time it happens so I thought it might be helpful for me to put together a post with…
If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I’ve tried a number of different mascaras in a hunt to find my perfect match. I’m talking dozens of different options. I’ve gone from high-end mascaras like Chanel to drugstore options like CoverGirl — and honestly, nothing has really blown me away. I kept getting ads (targeted ads are spot on lol) for this mascara from some brand called…
Now that we’re in a new year, it’s time to start thinking about a refresh to your makeup routine. I like playing around with darker hues and even some pops of color during the holidays, but as we head into January and eventually the spring months, I tend to reach for the neutrals and nudes. It’s funny because as I look at the lipsticks in my everyday routine, I recognize…
It’s that time of year again! The Sephora Savings event is here. This event is basically one of two BIG sales they do every year — one in the spring and one in the fall. The savings event starts today and goes through November 7th this year. In order to save, you have to be a member of the Sephora Beauty Insider rewards program. I’ve been a member for years…
Back in February I shared a makeup routine/review of the products I use to achieve a natural everyday look. I need products that are simple and reliable because I am by no means a makeup expert. I do what I think looks best for my face and move on with my day. Over the past couple months, I have tried a few new products that have started to become staples…
Y’all know my hair has been a JOURNEY for me since having Four. Of all the things I expected postpartum, hair growth was not one of them. I’m definitely not complaining because I’d rather have hair growth than hair loss as many women experience, but it does force me to get creative when styling my hair — especially if I’m going to be wearing it pulled back. I tried all kinds…
When it comes to makeup, I consider myself a minimalist. You can see my current everyday makeup routine here. Basically, I find the makeup I like, use that every day, and then randomly try out new products when they interest me. Recently, I discovered Jill Stuart… and let me tell you, I’m loving it. This brand actually creates makeup, skincare, and fragrances, but I’ve been obsessed with their lip balm lately.…
Y’all, I don’t know how I didn’t try cream blush until I was in my 30s but holy cow. I’ve been missing OUT. I’ve always used powder blush, and there are still several powder blushes I really love, but I am here for the cream blush these days. The first cream blush I tried was the ILIA multi-stick, which can be used as a lip, cheek, and eye tint. I personally…
Have you guys shopped the Sephora Spring Sale yet!? I’ve talked about it a little on Instagram, but wanted to include a full roundup of my favorite products that are part of the sale on the blog. The sale ends on Monday, but you can still get 10% off all the products in this blog post through then with code SAVESPRING. This year, I separated my sale picks into three…
If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I’m always on the hunt for more volume for my hair. It is truly my life mission (okay that may be dramatic, but you get the idea). Over the years, I’ve tried a LOT of different ways to get more volume. Some have worked really well and I still use them today, while others may have worked for a specific haircut…
For years, I heard people raving about the Dyson Airwrap, but I never really considered getting it because it was a pretty big investment, and I was always happy with the curling wand or iron I was using. But when a friend let me borrow theirs for a couple of weeks to try out, I was seriously amazed at the results I got versus using my regular wand. I was…
When it comes to my everyday makeup routine, I need something that’s simple and reliable with products I love. While I do like to try out new products from time to time, I also have my tried and trues that I know won’t let me down. Currently, my makeup routine is made up of my favorite staples with a few new products that I’ve recently discovered and am loving. I thought…
Happy Monday, y’all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a good friend come in town this weekend to visit — and it was SUCH a blast. We did so many fun things like enjoy dinner at RH Rooftop (I’d actually never been to the Dallas location and it’s amazing!), had brunch at rise, and just spent a lot of time catching up and lounging around the house. It…
I truly cannot believe that it’s already been one month since we launched Agenda. It feels so surreal! This is something I’ve been working on for a few years now — maybe even before some of you started following along. So much life has happened since I started this venture. I met Duncan, got engaged, planned a wedding, moved to Denver, went through the pandemic, moved *back* to Texas, sold…
Who else has several people on their list they still need to buy gifts for? Between all the Cyber Week stuff, throwing a holiday party, and now working on my hair care line launch, I’ve gotten so behind on my shopping! Most of the people I still need to shop for are women, so my first stop is always Nordstrom. They’ve got so many different luxe gift ideas for truly…
The Sephora Savings event starts today. For those of you not familiar with the sale, Sephora has two HUGE sales each year. They had a spring sale earlier this year. And their savings event always happens in the fall. The sale starts today and goes until November 15th. You must be a Sephora member to use the sale code. It’s easy (and free!) to become a member. To sign up,…
Another gift guide is live for y’all today and this one might be my favorite yet! I have lots of makeup and skincare favorites, but I wanted to dig a little deeper on this one (still included some product faves though like the Bader cream and this blush) and really think of some lux items that the beauty lover in your life might look at, maybe even add to their…
I’ve been trying to get back into beauty reviews lately so I decided to start with some of my absolute ride-or-die products that I’ve been using for a year or more and have repurchased multiple times. One of those products is the Bader Cream and the other is Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum. Now, I’m not an expert on beauty products, I just try a lot of different products for…
