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!
Everyone has that gal in their life that is beauty OBSESSED and basically lives in the cosmetics store…yeah? Well if that is you, your mom, your sister or your BFF this gift guide is the perfect place to find all their holiday gifts this season! Lancome Mascara – I am sharing two mascaras because these are very different formulas. This one has a dry formula that is volumizing/thickening as well…
The annual Sephora sale is here and honestly my favorites are still the same with a few additions. Why change up your routine if it’s working, ya know what I mean? These items are my tried and true picks though and I do use them every time I get ready so I can vouch for them 100%. Starting today ’til the 12th, take 20% if you’re a VIB member with…
With the holidays just around the corner and all the shopping that goes with it, I thought it would be a great time to weigh in on my experience with the Dyson hair dryer. Around this time last year, I was talking about how much I loved my Drybar blowdryer. And so since I’ve gotten a new one and expanded my horizons, I felt like I needed to let y’all…
OK y’all, you know I like to share the goods with you when I stumble across something good, and today that involves mascara primer. It’s not something I’ve used until the last few months, and now I’m straight HOOKED. I’ve known about face primer for years and love it, but honestly, it’s nothing in comparison to mascara primer. Let me break down how it changed my lash game for ya.…
If you could only see my bathroom, then you’d quickly realize that I am quite the hair product junkie. Some girls love makeup and lipstick colors and nail polish, well I love hair products! And I love trying new ones too! But even still, I have a few holy grail products that I keep come backing to. One of my go-to hair products for when I want lots of height…
I’m pretty sure one of the best inventions of this decade has been balayage hair. Am I wrong?! I not only love how it looks, but it’s low maintenance, natural, and the best part – you only need to go in for it a couple times a year. I never need it more than 2x a year and I think it’s because of a few things. One, my hairdresser does…
I’ve shared that I use Tula on Insta Stories before, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized I hadn’t dedicated a blog post to it. Which is kinda funny because I’ve been literally using it for years and it’s one of my favorite skincare lines. I’ve been using them in some way or another since all the way back when they were first getting started – maybe back in…
Ever since I cut my hair, I haven’t really experimented with it much. I usually just round brush it dry, maybe do a little velcro-roller action, and then I’m done. But when I was at the beach last month with my friend Liz, she told me she is obsessed with her Beachwaver and inspired me to try mine. I’ve actually had this bad boy in my bathroom for almost 2…
Y’all, I have to apologize. I’ve been promising more hair content for months, and it’s taken me SO long! Sometimes I struggle with posting beauty content until I feel like I’m a pro with the style or topic – because I actually want to share quality content instead of me figuring something out, ya know? Also, I’m just a perfectionist like that. I’ve been sharing quick tips on Instagram (like…
I’ll be honest that I’ve been blessed with pretty regular skin. I don’t get a ton of breakouts and it honestly doesn’t give me TOO much of an issue, but y’all know I’ve been trying to take better care of it. Honestly, it not being too much of a problem area has made me lazy with it over the years – and I thought it was time to change that.…
Even though we talk a lot about beauty on BTD and I’m a Southern girl who loves to get all dolled up on occasion, honestly, I’m pretty low maintenance with my routine. Rarely am I into something that takes more than 20 minutes or makes me look unnatural. I’m much more into easy, effortless beauty routines or products. Because as you probably know, I’m constantly running 20 minutes behind, ha!
Like most women reading this post, I haven’t always been comfortable (slash GOOD) at taking a compliment. I don’t know if it’s part of being female, or if it’s a personality thing, but I suck at accepting nice words face-to-face. Just the other day when leaving an industry event, the sweetest woman came up to me to shed some compliments. She was a reader of BTD (which BTW, is always…
OK, so this post is actually something I’m kinda learning right alongside y’all, but I thought it was too interesting not to share. And as it goes, I learned about it…then became obsessed. I know y’all want more beauty content too, so I hope you enjoy this one! This all started because I heard about purple shampoo for the first time, or saw it I should say, at the store!…
So…I wanted to start a skincare series that’s basically Skincare For Dummies (aka me right now). I LOVE learning about new topics (as you know), so I’ll be sharing the best or most interesting things I’ve learned about skincare every month or so. Some stuff you’ll probably know, some you may not, but I hope you learn alongside me through this series! I’m really, really excited about it. I’ll be sure to share the products I’m loving slash actually seeing results from along the way too.
I feel like my skincare routine is one of those things that’s always evolving. I’m constantly trying new products and making little (or big) changes to my routine, and lately, I’ve become a tad bit obsessed with all things skincare. At the end of the day, I still have a TON to learn and I’m excited to bring y’all along as I do some deep dives into skincare. Slash what…
As a somewhat beauty blogger, I’m actually pretty #embarrassed to say that I haven’t dabbled much in clean, non-toxic beauty products. It’s something that’s been on my radar for personal reasons, yet it’s taken me YEARS to really start learning about the dangers in our beauty products. I’m not trying to get all Teacher Brighton on y’all, but our standards in the beauty world haven’t actually been regulated for DECADES,…
I get asked about my hair all the time. I’ve shared quite a few tips with y’all on how I get volume, but today I want to focus specifically on how I use the velcro rollers to add even more height and bounce to my hair. Please let me know in the comments below if you have any questions. I’d be happy to address any specific issues. How I Use Velcro Rollers:…
I’ve shown y’all a few blowdrying tricks on Instagram stories, but I wanted a place on the blog where we could talk ALL THINGS round-brushing techniques. And just to have everything all in one place!
