Obtain A #FlawlessFinish With Sheer Cover Studio Makeup

Disclosure: I received the products mentioned for review purposes. I am not being compensated and all opinions are my own.

When it comes to my makeup routine I find products I love, stick to them, and eventually that thing called a routine becomes second nature. I have been switching back and forth from liquid foundation to powder for the past 6 years or so. But if there is one formula I have never grown to love it’s mineral. While it’s much lighter than your typical foundation, I have never found one that doesn’t make me look older than I actually am. Most tend to accentuate your fine lines, dry areas, and make your complexion dull. At least that is the experience I have had in the past and I have tried several brands from high end to drugstore. I really do want to fall in love with mineral foundation because using liquid can be a bit time consuming. I am just waiting for one to sweep me off my feet!

NEW Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair Review #RapidResults

Disclosure: I was provided with the following products as a part of the Vogue Influencer community.

Taking care of my skin has always been very important to me. Now, more than ever, I have been paying a lot of attention to the products I am using and what they have to offer. I may only be in my late 20’s but my mother always taught me that it is never too soon to take care of your skin. Aging doesn’t happen over night and even though we may not be able to stop it there are products to help stall the process! In the past year I have noticed a ton of changes in my skin. I don’t get the quality of sleep I used to which has resulted in dark circles, fine lines, and dull skin. I am always ready and willing to try products that will put a dent in these issues and with the Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair my skin has slowly came back to life.

Get In Tune With Free Music From Clear Scalp And Hair At Rite Aid

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

At one point in our lives we have all thought we could be a singer. Whether it’s driving to work, in the shower, or folding laundry – I am more than guilty of belting out a not so pleasant rendition of my favorite song. While it’s nice to pretend that I have the voice of an angel, I know that in reality I could kill a bird with my high pitched notes. Even though singing isn’t my forte I still enjoy watching others showcase their talent. In a few months the 7th season of The Voice will begin and I cannot wait to see the performances.

Tackling Your Summer Skincare Woes With HSN + My 9 Essentials! #SummerSkin

During the Summer your typical beauty and skincare routine is almost guaranteed to change just as fast as the weather does.

My complexion instantly turns from flawless to frightening within days and I find myself frantically looking for a miracle. The song “Summertime Sadness” now has a completely new meaning.

Flawless Face In Five Minutes: Jane Iredale Starter Kit #JaneIredale

Disclosure: I was provided with the following products as a part of the Vogue Influencer community.

As a member of the Vogue Influencer network I was provided with the opportunity to try a cosmetic brand I was not very familiar with. In fact, I had never heard of Jane Iredale but once I did my research I was more than willing to try beauty products that also offered skincare benefits! I was sent the Jane Iredale Starter Kit which consisted of a reusable cosmetic bag with mirror, four products and one mini powder brush. I love that this introductory set contains a little bit of everything for those of us who want to try  different products but have no idea where to start. It’s available in five different shades and naturally I chose the lightest, because my complexion is near to non existent!

A SIMPLE Solution To Skin Care + Special Offer At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Sensitive skin is an issue I am far too familiar with. I have always had a decent complexion, clear most of the time with an occasional stress induced breakout. But in time all good things must come to an end! Once I had Toodie I noticed a huge difference in my skin and how sensitive it became to the products I had been using years prior. Sure pregnancy gives you that natural “glow” that others rave about but after all that goes away your skin has to adjust back to normalcy. My usual routine was leaving my skin irritated and angry. I had the red splotchy spots, patches of bumpies, and dry areas that weren’t very flattering at the end of the day. I needed a miracle and after stumbling upon a Simple® Skincare display at Walgreens I had the answers and solutions I was looking for.

Influenster #UniVoxBox

I received these complementary products from Influenster for testing purposes.

As a member of Influenster I am occasionally chosen to review and test a themed boxed of goodies. This month I was sent the #UniVoxBox which is targeted towards students in college. It’s hard to believe that I still find a way to juggle being a mom, working part time, AND going to school. In this box I found products that I was familiar with and many that I had never tried.  

Here is what I found inside…

10 Beauty Tips For Busy Mommas

Being a mom is not the most glamorous job in the world. Actually, it’s not even close. If it were up to me I would be spending a good 80% of the day in my favorite pajamas, hair in a messy bun, and not an ounce of makeup on. Realistically, this never happens. As moms we are busy. We are needed. We are demanded! We don’t always have the time or the energy to walk out of the house looking like movie stars. Five out of seven days of the week I wake up at the butt crack of dawn. This is when I begin my daily mommy duties that were left dormant in the short 5 hours of sleep I managed to get. The last thing I want to do is straighten my hair and draw on intricate winged eye liner.
