I hope you found something that peeks your interest! Each product listed I currently have and use, and I will repurchase each item! (Look for the more expensive beauty items on sale around the holidays!)

The Billie Razor!!! – YOU GUYS, it is the best thing I have ever used!!!! The shave cream is incredible (I would only purchase twice a year probably not every month) but the razor is like none other..If you want to treat yourself get the razor and shave cream! For $17 I got the razor, an extra blade, and the shave cream, I only have to shave every week and a half now! The candles listed are my ALLLL time favorite you NEED to try Lakeside Morning, and each fashion item I recently purchased and have been enjoying! If you have anything you can’t live without comment it down below!!

P.S I hope you are all loving the new site as much as I do! Love you all! xoxox Lauren

Today I am sharing with you guys my favorite beauty tips/tricks/hacks/secrets? That I think every girl should know. Send me your tips/hacks and I will be sure to add them, so we can all help a girl out!

1. The first tip I have is for when you are out for the night (or in general) and your face starts to get oily, go to the bathroom and see if they have a toilet seat cover. Please. Make sure it’s clean. Tear a piece off and use it as a blotting sheet, the covers are made of the same material as blotting sheets! If the bathroom you’re in doesn’t happen to have the toilet seat cover, usually public restrooms have super dry toilet paper, which will also do the trick. (maybe not as well)

2. If you carry a small makeup compact to touch up your face, don’t carry around a makeup brush with you as it will just get extremely dirty/probably ruined in your purse. Stick a cotton round in the compact and switch it out with a new one as you use them.

3. If you put the TINIEST amount of Vaseline on the spots where you spray your perfume (behind neck, on wrist) then spray your perfume will last SO MUCH LONGER. You will not have to worry about smelling later on, or you won’t have to worry about carrying an entire bottle with you! It sounds a little crazy, but I PROMISE you it works.

4. If you wear a lot of makeup, or you are trying to clear your skin from acne. Try shaving your face. Now, DO NOT use a razor to do this. I use a brow trimmer/shaper that is under $4 for 3 of them (I will link it here) and just gently use them to remove any peach fuzz. I’ve been doing this for quite some time, and I think it really helps! Since you are not shaving your face, the hair will not grow back any thicker/darker so don’t worry. This helps makeup lay on your skin, and helps your skin care products cleanse and perform so much better

5. Last but not least, If you have super thick/dark arm hair and you are insecure about it but don’t want to put in the time/money to wax or shave your arms, try using a trimmer guys use to cut their hair (without the guard) and just trim the hair on your arms. I personally do not have this issue, but it is something that is not high maintenance. I know a few people who do this and they love the outcome! (The hair will not grow back thicker than before) This also looks the most natural out of all the options!

I hope you learned something here, and again if you have any tips/hacks send them my way and I will be sure too add it in here!

Hey guys!

As you all probably know, I am such a makeup junkie! Today, I’m going to share with you my “holy grails” when it comes to makeup. I love trying new products so I’m sure I’ll be adding some in within the next couple months. But for now, here’s my favorite products in my makeup bag!

Holy Grails: 

I usually don’t wear primer unless it’s for a special occasion, but my favorite it the Porefessional from Benefit. It makes your skin look flawless, and smells even better!

I recently picked up the Wet and Wild Mega Cushion Foundation and it was instantly my favorite. I use this as an everyday foundation because since it is a cushion it is more lightweight but still covers flawlessly when applied with a beauty blender. 

For concealer I use the Tarte Shape Tape. It was voted best selling concealer and I have to vouch for that..it is the best. It is more full coverage, but when you don’t set with a setting powder it can look cake-y depending on the foundation you used. I recommend always setting your concealer which will make it look more natural as well as making it last longer through out the day.

My all time favorite setting powder is the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in Translucent. (Found at Walgreens or Walmart) After you apply your foundation and concealer use this powder to set your makeup. Another great tip is to apply it with an eyeshadow brush under your eyes when applying mascara then wipe away with same brush after. This prevents your mascara from smudging throughout the day.

For bronzer I use the Butter Bronzer by Physicians Formula. I have tried many different bronzers, and this is by far the most natural looking on the skin! 

I am completely obsessed with the Jaclyn Hill Morphe palette. Everyone asks me what eye shadows I use and it is ALWAYS this palette. You can create so many looks with it! (Tip: When doing your eyes place a light/shimmer color on the center of your eye to make them appear bigger and to stand out more) When Im running out of the house I tend to grab the Naked Basics 2 palette for something quick and easy. P.S most of these colors look the same in this picture but I promise they are all INCREDIBLE. Find tutorials with this palette on Youtube before you purchase to truly see all the looks you can create.

The last thing I will show a picture for is the setting spray I use. It is the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist! I have dry skin so I will take all the dewy-ness I can get! It always makes my skin look so good, and the smell of it is just as good!!

For Mascara I use the Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced. It is so so good!!

For brows I use the NYX precision brow pencil.

For waterline eyeliner I use the NYX slide on pencil in black.

I almost for got the most important part! Highlight!!! My all time favorite highlighter is Champagne Pop from Becca. Mine shattered in my suitcase when I went to Jamaica and I’m still upset about it. It’s the perfect gold/shimmer highlight for every skin tone!

Im sorry for the lengthy post! I post you enjoyed it!! If you try any of these products mentions let me know! I would love to see what does and doesn’t work for others!
