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!
I love it when my nails are done. Like, it brings me so much joy in such a small, simple way. Why I made the switch from gel manicures: I used to *love* getting dip nails. I loved how they made your nails feel thicker and I would get zero chips for weeks! Plus, it just looked good. I religiously got dip powder for several years until one day I…
Diving into body care today because I feel like it’s something I talk about a lot on Stories but don’t really have a reference point for, SO here we are! :) If you’re like, Brighton what the heck is body care? Think of it like skincare, but for your whole body! Things like shaving, moisturizing, sunless tanning, etc! I have a whole routine at this point that I really love…
If you follow me, then you *know* my obsession with Tula runs deep. Truthfully, there are several Tula products I can’t live without, but today’s post is dedicated to one of my ride-or-die items during Summer – their “Filter Primer“. It’s essentially the only product I wear on my skin these days except for when I really feel like getting dressed up, which has been rare for me lately! I’ve…
I love sharing new products with you guys on stories, but I’ve really been slacking when it comes to sharing on my blog as well. And I really miss creating more informative, long-form content here. I love sharing on stories, but once it expires, there’s not really an easy way to share it again (even if it still lives in highlights). So that being said, I wanted to put together…
Hi Friends! Another big sale is going on. Sephora has their beauty insider sale two times each year. Once in the spring and once in the late fall. I always wait to stock up on most of my beauty and haircare products during these sales. The discount really adds up when you apply it to most of your products. The Sephora sale is a tiered sale. For those that have…
Hi, friends! Wow, it’s been a minute since I’ve written a blog post, but I’m excited to be back today and share a few updates with y’all about our guest bathroom! If you’re not completely up to date on my life (which is not something I assume BTW, lol), Duncan and I moved back to Dallas in January and just a few short weeks later I gave birth about five…
Raise your hand if you’ve ever caught your husband or boyfriend sneaking into your skincare for moisturizer or maybe even a cleanser! I’m going to guess a bunch of you (figuratively) raised your hand because this has definitely happened in our house – especially since moving to Denver where the air is very dry. This is why I partnered with Nordstrom x Kiehl’s to share some amazing holiday skincare for…
Hey friends! So I think something helpful I can do both for myself and for y’all right now is find joy in the little things. There’s a lot going on in the world and finding the small silver linings in each day can work wonders on my mindset, which leads me to today’s post! Thought it could be fun to share a few small things I’ve noticed in particular lately…
OK, this post is a big one! I almost talked myself out of doing it because I found myself getting overwhelmed as I sorted through all the details and broke everything down on my head/on paper. Thankfully, I did persevere, LOL, and I’m excited to show you what I learned when comparing curling irons and wands! First things first, there is A LOT of subjectivity to this situation. Obviously I…
I’m so, so excited to partner with Colleen Rothschild again this week for Colleen’s Birthday Sale!! I shared a few products last week on Instagram in this post so today I’m going to dive into them a bit more, talk about how I’m using them and share all the details you need to shop the Birthday Sale happening now through 9/27! Face Oil No 9 First things first, the Colleen…
OK, so, big news – The NSALE is officially open to everyone as of the 19th so whether you have a Nordstrom card or are an Insider, you can now shop the sale!! One of my favorite categories every year is BEAUTY! Nordstrom is a go-to of mine for clothes, but I also get a lot of my beauty products from there as well! This year, lots of my favorites…
Hey, friends! Hope y’all are ready for a dose of beauty content because here it is! TBH I’m always trying out different products in this department, but I do have a few ride-or-die kind of items that I’ve kept as part of my routine for a while now so I wanted to share them! What I linked below isn’t comprehensive but like I said, these are some of my favorites. It’s about 90% skincare focused, but I did link this mascara I’ve been loving as well as the Tarte Shape Tape because duh! ;) And of course my Living Proof dry shampoo because I basically can’t leave the house without using it!
Hi Friends! Can you believe it’s almost summer already!?! It already feels like summer here in Denver. Recently, I’ve received several requests for my self tanning routine, so wanted to write an updated post for you guys! I’m also sharing on stories later today as well! I probably do this about once a week. It usually lasts about a week but obviously the first few days are the best! I’ll…
Sometime over the last five years or so I learned the importance of switching up your beauty routine based on the season. Now, I definitely do not consider myself a skincare/makeup/hair expert, but I try a lot of products for my job and also I just really love playing around with my beauty stuff in general. So expert or not, I have picked up a thing or two over the…
OK friends, I’ve been working on this post for the last week or so and I am so excited to finally share it with y’all! It’s all about how to have a spa night with your guy at home! I mentioned a little while ago on Stories that Duncan and I have been doing some masks together in the evening and y’all were so curious about it! Duncan has been…
Hi Friends! It’s that time of year again! It’s the Sephora Sale! I look forward to this sale every year – its happens twice (once in the spring and once during the holiday season). If you’re not familiar with the sale, it’s a sitewide sale (with a few exceptions). There are three different levels at Sephora and each level has a different discount and time to shop. For those of…
If there’s one thing y’all ask me about a lot, it’s my hair! Specifically how I get so much volume in it, but styling and color questions are always popular ones too. I’ve tackled the volume subject several times – from this post all about using velcro rollers to this one on how I use dry shampoo to get volume and my latest, tips for round brushing your hair. So…
Outfit Details: Jamie Crewneck Sweatshirt (wearing size xs) // 90s Runner Shorts (wearing size xs) One positive thing I will say about this time is that I am showing my skin way more attention than usual. Duncan and I are basically having “spa nights” (that’s what we call them LOL) almost every night of the week and ya know what? I’m not mad about it. Yes, Duncan will even do…
