I cannot tell you the last time I bought a bottle

I cannot tell you the last time I bought a bottle of nail polish. Normally, I’m a hardcore @essie stan but I had an #Amazon giftcard laying around and I’ve seen @ilnp’s holographic polishes and said this is my chance. So from left to right, Sunny Days, Sandy Baby and Juliette, which I lowkey regret getting because it looks to be a close dupe for a @kbshimmer polish I have but it’s cool cause it’s like 3 years old and getting thick. I purposely got Sunny Days because I love a nice neon for my pedis! Ring holder made by me.

I have been addicted to @sephora’s sampler sets

I have been addicted to @sephora’s sampler sets since 2013. I have secretly wished for a way to try foundation at home before I buy for a very long time. Finally, that day has come.

Sephora Favorites Foundation Try On At Home features 14 foundation samples from @fentybeauty @iliabeauty @lauramercier @sephora @toofaced and @rarebeauty in my shade range. I grabbed set D & E.

This sample set also comes with a voucher for $10 off a full sized foundation.

I’m really excited to try play with my foundation sets and find my perfect shade. Has anyone else tried this yet?

#PURandsimple #complimentary Check out my @purcosmetics haul thanks to @influenster. Here’s what I got:

🌿 PUR 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 is a lightweight, medium coverage foundation that can be used as foundation, concealer, powder and SPF. While I wouldn’t solely rely on this as a SPF, it would go great on top of the SPF you apply during your #skincareroutine

🌿PUR 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer covers imperfections and brightens the skin. I love the packaging on this concealer. No twist cap! You just push a button and it opens!

🌿PUR Fully Charged Mascara Powered by Magnetic Technology is one of the best mascaras that I have tried in a long time. It builds effortlessly so I can wear it for a natural look or build for all out glam!

Have you tried anything from PUR? #makeuptutorial #makeup #veganmakeup

There is not one product on the market that says exfoliate daily that you should be using everyday. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s true. Here are some signs that you’ve been using that daily exfoliant too much:

✨Flaking peeling skin
✨Red, inflamed skin
✨Breakouts featuring small pimples
✨Sensitivity
✨Tight, shiny skin ⬅️ oh yes yes yes

If this sounds like you, put that exfoliant on the shelf and switch to a routine rich in ingredients that will help repair your barrier, moisturize and hydrate your skin. Reincorporate exfoliants after 6-8 weeks.

How to smell great for bedtime: buy a fragrance discovery set from @sephora, use your voucher for a bottle of @chloe. Then all of a sudden BOOM! Your local friend @thehausoflune drops a skincare line featuring body oils and the rose one smells AMAZING and you pair it with the Chloé and now you smell like the goddess of love ❤️

Easy….

You know what we don’t talk about enough? How to graduate from one product to the next. What do you do when you want to upgrade from a basic skincare staple to something more advanced? Or maybe even luxurious? Keep reading.

@deciem did oily skinned girls a solid when they dropped the AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Solution. All you need is one application a week to control oil, exfoliate and brighten skin. Obviously this is not the only product of its kind, so which product do you upgrade to?

@beekman1802 Milk Mud Warming Clay Mask. It controls oil and exfoliates but there are some added benefits

✨Contains goats milk to nourish skin
✨A thick, clay based formula for easier, drip free application
✨Natural jojoba beads for mechanical exfoliation
✨Chamomile & comfrey to calm

2021 was not unkind to me. I honestly had a great year minus the pandemic. I laid low this year. I spent time reflecting. I didn’t get COVID. God is good.

I lost friends that really weren’t my friends. I am going to spend 2022 placing more boundaries when it comes to who I allow in my space. I am an extraordinary person, no need to be in the company of people that are not on the same level as me- the energy is never right.

I got to spend some time with my sister @carraharris. It’s so weird saying that considering I spent my whole life without a sister figure and now I have one. I’m grateful for her.

I walk into 2022 in my 18th year of marriage. We teamed up and created a very successful business that continues to flourish amongst madness. We will scale in 2022. We will prosper. We will win.
It’s what we do @richard_earl_coleman

Our kids grew. Every year they get older and I am not emotionally prepared for them to keep leaving the nest. 2 down, 3 to go.

I didn’t do the skincare thing much this year. I didn’t have a strategy, I didn’t have time, I didn’t have the patience, I feel like I made my impact. I love beauty so much, I’m gonna give it one more shot, then maybe it’s time to move on for good.

2022 is about continuing to mature, grow, flourish and reap what I sow. I have sewn some seeds over the years. It time for a good harvest 🌾.

Happy New Year 🎈

It’s wash day! My sensory issues caused me to take my braids out after only two weeks, but it is what it is 🤷🏽‍♀️

My hair is full of buildup and it’s dry, so I knew exactly what products I wanted to use to take care of my hair, post braid takedown.

The @fekkai Shea Butter Bundle is what I need for deep cleansing, conditioning and hydration. Rich in essential fatty acids, packed with ceramides, and fortified with olive oil, glycerin and monoi oil, my hair is smooth, moisturized, hydrated, frizz and tangle free.

This luxurious bundle is SRP $86 but you can snag it for $75 and if you subscribe to have it shipped to you every 30, 60, or 90 days, you get an additional 15% off.

Have you tried the Shea Butter collection from Fekkai? What’s your favorite product? If not, would you snag this bundle?

The weather is cooling off. Well, not in Mississippi but I’m sure it’s nippy where you are. In my ten years on the web, SPF content tends to decline during fall, and pick back up during spring.

Friendly reminder that SPF use is year round for optimal skin health. Which SPF will you be wearing this fall? #skincaretips

We make club appearances too yanno….if you call @1cachpro 😂😂😂. Had a service call at @secretsjxn this morning.

Perk to working with your spouse: y’all can dress alike and call it a uniform 😂. Those cheesy couples that I used to judge? We’ve become them. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I have always wanted to wear pretty nails, but going to the nail shop is not feasible for my lifestyle. Or maybe it is… any #tradeswomen that are able to wear nails comfortably? Preferably #HVAC for nuance?

Anyway, in the moment, I can’t work with nails. But I have free time every now and then to enjoy them, like this weekend. The pandemic gave us a low key blessing- the nail shops closed and the guys and girls still needed their nails did. Businesses like @lbbswingnails were born. I have totally procrastinated until now. I ordered this cute set that was ready to ship. I haven’t put them on yet because guess who does not have nail glue? 😭🤘🏽

☁️Happy #skincaresunday. I really loved this tweet from @honeyjarhajar and it is so true. Everything in your #skincareroutine does not have to have a purpose. Nothing sucks more than being happy about a new product and someone hijacks your vibe with “well, it does not do anything for your skin”.... I don’t care???

☁️My #skincarestash is full of products that do nothing long term and that’s ok. My personal favorite? Sheet masks.

☁️What’s your favorite skincare product that does nothing but you love it?

Confessions on a skincare guru, volume 1. I dermap

Confessions on a skincare guru, volume 1. I dermaplaned, extracted blackheads and plucked my chin hairs for the first time in a long time. I don’t know how I feel about it. I haven’t been putting a lot of work into my skin. I'll let water run on it and put on SPF most days and that's it. My pores are huge and congested, my skin is dry and flaky, and yet, I still feel pretty.

Speaking of pretty, a few days ago I saw an esthetician tell people on Twitter say that you shouldn’t accept acne because it shouldn’t be there and I couldn’t help but to yell "Girl, WTF".

Acne will be there. Dark spots, that little dry patch, that discoloration, the facial hair, the blackheads.... they will come and go. Regardless, you are constant- spot treat it, pluck it, derma plane it, exfoliate it, you're still you.

Love yourself in all forms 💕
