After slugging for the past 3 months, I had to write a complete guide to slugging after seeing amazing results in the hydration of my skin. I learned about slugging from beauty writer, Charlotte Palermino, on tiktok. The idea of applying petroleum jelly to my skin sounded a bit greasy for my taste before I tried it. However, after trying slugging on my face, I was wowed by the results it offered for my dry skin. Here’s a complete guide to slugging:
Since 2020 was a dark year for all of us, I thought it would be fun to share four ways to start 2021 fresh to celebrate the turn of the new year. It will take a long time for the world to heal from everything that happened last year, but I think a new year is a good way to reinspire hope and turn a new page. Here’s ways to start 2021 fresh:
As an avid sunscreen fan, I decided to try the A’pieu pure block sunscreen after a recommendation from my sister. Korean sunscreens have a special place in my heart because they have a lightweight consistency and are available for an extremely affordable price. Since I wear sunscreen everyday, I refuse to deal with any heavy or greasy sunscreens because they feel gross. Here’s my review of the A’pieu pure block sunscreen to find out if it lives up to the lightweight and affordable hype of K-beauty sunscreens:
My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary in Point Reyes so I’ve written a Point Reyes travel guide from our favorite spots we visited. Point Reyes is located in the Bay Area of California and has beautiful views of the oceanside. Here’s a guide to visiting Point Reyes:
With Christmas rapidly approaching, I thought I’d write a 2020 gift guide for beauty lovers. Unfortunately, many of us beauty addicts are extremely picky about products so I’ve listed the best of the best products that any beauty lover would enjoy. Here’s my 2020 gift guide separated out by skincare, makeup, and hair products:
When I saw the Colourpop the child palette, I knew I needed it because I am a huge baby yoda fan! I don’t normally like themed palettes, but the olive toned shades in this palette looked really unique to me. It’s been awhile since I’ve purchased a Colourpop palette, so I was excited to see if it still lived up to the hype.
Today I am celebrating quitting my second job of the year. Last Sunday was my final shift working as a retail associate at Ulta. I started working there last July and it was my first real part time job where I worked close to 20 hours a week on top of school. I loved being around makeup all of the time, but I honestly didn’t enjoy that job very much. I’m happy to say I’ve finally quit that job!
I knew it was time to try the Farmacy honey halo cream after hearing great things about Farmacy Beauty. I have very dry skin and I live in a desert climate so rich, hydrating creams are a must. Since the brand described this cream as “ultra-hydrating”, I needed to test it out for myself.
In honor of celebrating our 3 year anniversary, I’m sharing some couples photos Wren Brady Photography did for my boyfriend and me a few weeks ago. These photos were taken at Moon Rocks, Nevada. Moon Rocks is a hot spot for BMX bikers to ride around the hills an hour or so outside of Reno. Lucky for us, the rocks are so picturesque and made the perfect photoshoot location!
Sephora doesn’t have sales very often so I thought I’d share some products you need from the Sephora fall 2020 sale. It’s tempting to add a million products to your cart from Sephora because let’s be honest, don’t you just want everything lol! Here are the products I’ve been loving from Sephora lately to help you decide which ones are worth spending money on at the Sephora fall 2020 sale.
