I'm Kristen and I have been sharing beginner friendly beauty tips since May 2020 when I started selling Red Aspen right after graduating from SUNY Oswego with my bachelors of science in biology!

In college, I started experimenting more with high quality AND affordable makeup as I needed some that would last all day from 8am lab through a 11pm hockey practice)! 🏒

As a chemist with a biology background, I am very passionate safe ingredients in beauty products, and how you can also have the same quality results when doing it yourself at home! 🥼🧪

Some other things that I love are plants (hence the theme of the group), the color purple (everything I own is purple lol), traveling, and playing hockey! I currently work as an analytical chemist in the quality control lab for a pharmaceutical company and absolutely love being in the lab! 👩🏻‍🔬

In the last fee years I’ve gained so many amazing new online friendships, been on multiple trips thanks to opportunities I wouldn’t have without posting content, and earned extra cash for more adventures! I’m grateful for every single moment! 🥰

A birthday dinner calls for maximum dopamine dressing!These floral platform beauties are bringing all the happy vibes…. 🌼

The square toe makes them wide-foot friendly, they’re also true to size, and the chunky platform means I can actually wear them all night without sacrificing comfort.

✔️ Wide-foot friendly square toe
✔️ True to size
✔️ Ultra comfy platform
✔️ Guaranteed to start conversations at dinner

Color, comfort, and compliments? Yes, please! 💛

Refusing to let a bra ruin a perfectly good summer outfit 😌☀️

I hate when people ask where I go, but I love telling them that I can teach them how to do their own!

Brows are important because they can help shape your face! However many women are scared of doing their brows themselves…

So let’s go over some brow anatomy and how to groom those brows at home by yourself!!! There’s no reason to pay someone else to do them for you! 💜

One of my favorite little brow hacks? After grooming, use a highlighter (like the one @tartecosmetics gifted me) right under the arch to instantly lift and define. It catches the light beautifully and makes your brow shape pop! 😍

If you’re looking for an easy way to make your brows look cleaner, more sculpted, and naturally lifted, this is the trick you need to try!

Your base makeup isn’t the problem… your primer is… 👀

Oily skin? You NEED a matte primer to keep everything locked in all day! ☀️
Dry skin? Give your base some life with a radiance-boosting primer for that hydrated glow! ✨

It’s literally the difference between makeup sitting on your skin vs melting INTO it… 😳

I’ve been loving this gift from @elizabethmott lately: giving me a bright, smooth base when I want to look glowy and a soft matte, blurred base that actually lasts!

This was gifted to us by Colton’s aunt because she ordered an extra, and we have been using it ever since!

My first time was definitely…. “Funny!” 😅

I love that this one has multiple speeds, so if those popcorn kernels get REALLY STUCK I can crank up the power on this thing! 👏🏻

I highly recommend everyone have one of these, especially if you hate flossing and would rather have a fun experience!

Confidence comes in MANY shapes and sizes…
Sometimes it looks like trying something new, or just hitting “post” (even when you have a bare face and it feels a little uncomfortable).

My confidence has changed so much over time, especially in the last 10 years - lately it shows up in the ways I choose to I step outside my comfort zone and in why I share the things I genuinely love. Whether it’s nails, makeup, or comfy everyday staples like my Truekind bras… It’s all part of me still learning that it’s okay to take up space and not overthink everything.

Growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone, so please excuse me while I work on becoming a new and better version of myself! 💜

Okay but this body wash?!? It has been in my shower routine ever since Native sent this gift and I’m kinda in love now…

It’s super gentle, no sulfates or parabens, so it actually cleans without making my skin feel stripped… Which I absolutely love during the super dry winters we have here in Buffalo. And the scent?? it’s fresh but not overpowering!

I also love that it works for literally any skin type, and the bottles are huge so they last soooooo long!!!

Just one of those little upgrades that makes your nightly routine feel a bit more put together. 🥰

When you’re the only girl, and you simply REFUSE to be quiet! 👏🏻

I’m not here to shrink, soften my tone, or make anyone more comfortable with my confidence. If that reads as “attitude”… I’ll survive….

Just know, I WILL be opening my mouth and advocating not just for myself but for the whole lab too! 😉

The first thing people notice when they look at you is your eyes… So let’s smile with our eyes thanks to this #gift from @flutterhabit !🥹💜

If you’re looking for more reviews and tips/tricks on easy at-home beauty finds, make sure you’re following me! 👀

Honest review: I typically wear their clusters that you leave on for 7-10 days or strip lashes…. These are the Sticktionary line with Protecht Tech lashes - and it will 100% level UP any look in seconds! They don’t last more than a day or two for me, but if you’re uncomfortable with strip lashes or going for a more “natural” look for an event, I’d grab these! 👏🏻

Highlights:
✨ Pre-glued = no extra glue, no mess, no stress
✨ Under-lash design for that seamless, natural finish
✨ The perfect balance of lift, length + soft volume
✨ Everyday cute but still date-night ready

Beginner-friendly. Busy-woman approved. Main character eyes without the appointment. It’s giving salon-worthy lash extensions in less time than texting “be there in 5.” 😉

Keeping jumper cables in your car at all times = absolute non-negotiable.

I was this close 🤏🏻 to being stranded today thanks to a dead battery, and having a set of jumper cables seriously saved me.

Whether it’s winter weather, an old battery, or one of those “why won’t my car start?” moments, this is one of those car essentials everyone should keep in their trunk.

Affordable, compact, easy to store, and a total lifesaver for emergencies. Trust me - add this to your road trip essentials, emergency car kit, and everyday car must-haves before you need it!

Apparently Shirley Temples and cherry red lips are having a moment??? 💋🍒

Think glossy sparkly fizzy red lips, softly blurred edges, and that iconic cherry-pop finish as inspo for this lip-look! 🥤✨

I love how this look layers a cherry red lipstick with a mauve lip liner for fullness, then tops it off with a high-shimmer lip gloss for that sparkly, plump effect.

💋 Pro tip: using a small eyeshadow or concealer brush to apply and clean up your lipstick makes all the difference for precision and definition.

Perfect for date night makeup, Valentine’s Day glam, or anytime you want a classic red lip with a modern twist! Want a shopping cart with all these products already in it? Comment “CHERRY” and I’ll send it right to your DM’s!💄

I was 6 years old the first time a grown man (yes an adult, with children of his own) humiliated me in public just because I was a girl.

It happened again at 10, and again at 12, and every year after.

I have been torn down MANY times in my life and have learned how to come back stronger. I know I am loved, I am worthy, I have empathy, and I am capable. My hope is that this page helps inspire self-love and confidence in other women 💜

The world is not kind to women, especially when we aren’t “feminine” enough or fit perfectly into a category…. I have always loved playing ice hockey and I also love being girly, so I know how it feels. Sometimes I miss having the confidence of walking into the rink in stilettos, and seeing the look on the faces of adults who were angry at a me for daring to take up space. By stepping into the world of beauty, I have gained some of that confidence back and want to help make other women more confident too.

I am an advocate for women’s rights because the women before me fought so I could be out on that ice and share what I love on my platform. There’s still a long way to go, but I’ll always try be the voice I needed when I was a child.

If you’re looking for a page that makes you feel like you can be yourself, I hope this is it. Whether you know makeup basics and are up to date on the latest beauty trends or are looking for a little help on applying eyeshadow… Welcome! 💜

New roots = new home 🪴

Finally repotting some of my freshly propagated babies and giving them soil that actually makes plant care EASY. 👏🏻

This mix is peat-moss free, super forgiving (for all my friends that chronically over-water), and designed specifically to support young roots as they transition out of propagation.

🌿 Bonus: It helps reduce repotting shock and keeps plants calm + thriving instead of dramatic! 🤪

🌎 Extra sustainability points because everything is made with upcycled/recycled components and they plant a tree for every bag sold!

Save this for your next repot and tell me what you’re propagating right now! 👇

Okay but I was not ready to actually like these… 😳🦷

FIRST USE. ONE APPLICATION. WHITER TEETH!

These Auraglow Whitening Strips legit whitened my teeth more than anything I’ve tried before and I’m picky about at-home whitening since I have sensitive teeth.

They’re strong enough to actually work (hello 8% hydrogen peroxide 👀) but still gentle thanks to nano-hydroxyapatite + potassium nitrate, so my teeth didn’t feel sensitive at all!

Just peel, stick, chill for 30 minutes, and boom… A noticeably brighter smile even on the first application! 🙌🏻

If you’ve been scared of whitening because of sensitivity, you HAVE TO try these! Comment “TEETH” and I’ll send the link for them right to your DMs! 💜

Highlights:
✨ whiter smile
🦷 enamel-safe
🤍 sensitive-teeth friendly
⏱️ real results in 30 minutes

Would you try these or are you traumatized by old whitening products? 😅
