Obsessed with this mascara 🫶🏼

The @lorealparis Extensionist Waterproof Mascara in Black makes my lashes pop ✨ I went straight in with the wand — no curler needed!

If you have straight lashes, a curler beforehand will give you that extra lift 😍

L'Oreal Paris Extensionist Curling & Lengthening Mascara - Black Waterproof 997 - 0.41 fl oz | Target

On the hunt for the perfect setting spray: one that makes my makeup look better, lasts longer, and doesn’t emphasize my pores or spritz droplets on my face that ruins my glam.

This round I tested Morphe Life Proof Continuous Mist and NARS Light Reflecting Setting Spray. Both mist gently with no splashing, but I returned both to Ulta since they emphasized my pores.

My longtime favorite is still @Benefit Porefessional setting spray. It’s the only one that actually improves my skin instead of emphasizing pores. The only caveat is it’s not tear proof on me.

I love layering sprays. Mac Fix Plus or Caudalie Beauty Elixir (also great under makeup) for glow and meshing my products, then Porefessional to seal.

My tip: test setting sprays in store, walk around a bit, and take before/after pics to see if it improves your makeup or not, so you’re not wasting $$ on something that doesn’t work for your skin.

Funny enough, my favorite foundation is NARS Light Reflecting. I really thought the spray would be my match but it’s not single momma dollars approved.

On to the next 😘

Wednesday morning testing out a dewy skin tint from @maccosmetics cause it is super hot in FL and I need something lightweight and the word “dewy” always calls me cause of my dry skin 🌵…the lips are @maybelline super stay vinyl liquid lip in color “Cheeky” (obsessed with this cause it gives color, lasts, and doesn’t look crepey on my 49 yr old lips 💋).

Now let me motivate myself to get on with the day cause makeup therapy was needed today to get going 💆🏻‍♀️🙈🙏🏼

When your son’s drum corps uses “Get Jiggy With It” in a song but he’s never heard the original 😂🎶

So obviously I had to play it for him… the look on his face when I played it and started singing the lyrics 😆

Now it’s stuck on my playlist again 🎵

Orlando humidity is NO JOKE today 😩🌴

Ran into Target for ONE thing… and of course came out with that AND this wave spray 😂 The one time I don’t do curbside pickup…

Couldn’t even make it home before trying it — applied it right in the car on dry hair because… priorities.

You can use it on wet or dry hair which I love for those emergency frizz moments ✨

I’ll keep you posted on how it holds up — I’ll share the link once I know it actually works 😉💕

Happy Sunday ☀️

Today was a get it done, no excuses kind of day. Homework, focus, finish it. My brain just works better when I leave the house—because if I stay home, I already know I’ll start negotiating with myself like “I can do it later… maybe I’ll nap first…” 😂 no ma’am.

After that, I had a little makeup moment 💄 I’m doing a trial for my friend’s daughter’s quinceañera next week, so I wanted to test foundation and make sure the shade is perfect. Everything else I’m good on (because let’s be real, I love makeup), but foundation has to be right. Most important thing for me is that she feels beautiful.

Also tried this lip gloss from Dr. Dennis Gross—plump + repair treatment in pink. My lips were looking dry and sad and this brought them back to life 😅 It does have a little tingle, not unbearable, but you’ll feel it. Worth it though because the fullness is giving 👌

And my reward? A solo movie date 🎬 I wanted to go see that new one with the guy from Bridgerton 😍 you already know the one lol. It’s giving cute rom-com vibes and I’m here for it.

And yes—I LOVE going to the movies by myself… introvert vibes. A little me date 🤍

Sundays like this just remind me that getting things done first makes the rest of the day feel so much better ✨

Save this for later or send it to a friend who needs a little Sunday motivation 🤍

Wasn’t really feeling today…
but matching my red lip to these nails I’m obsessed with changed the whole vibe ❤️🐆

Soft glam… but it took 2 hours (and a whole playlist) to convince myself to go outside 😂

The glam was easy… leaving the room was the real challenge 😭

If you get it, you get it.

Happy Monday Love 💕

Skin prep is key 🤍

This was one of those mornings I didn’t feel like getting fully dolled up for work, but I still needed to look presentable. I did my skincare at home so it could really sink in during the drive to Starbucks, then finished this quick fresh face in the parking lot 🤍 Just a few basics, but it made me feel instantly more awake and put together.

My quick fresh face:
• Concealer
• Mascara
• Lip balm
• d’Alba White Truffle First Serum Stick

Hydrated, simple, and done in minutes ✨

I linked everything here so you can shop the exact products. Save this for those busy mornings when you want to feel polished without the extra effort 💕
