One of my favourite multitasking makeup brushes! You can use this for so many things. Foundation, cream contour, cream & liquid blush. It’s a good one for a great price.
NYX Can’t stop won’t spot foundation brush!

#LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Day 4 of foundations for mature skin ✨

Today we’re using the Armani Beauty Golden Hour 24-Hour Skin Tint and she is that effortless girl.

Lightweight, breathable, buildable…evens out redness without covering freckles or settling into fine lines.
Because our skin doesn’t need drama ( tell that to the retinol burn on my neck!) 😂🔥

✨ BOUGIE ON A BUDGET ✨
Makeup Edition

You know I love my luxury makeup over here… but I ALSO love when I find something that looks, feels, and performs like high-end without the high-end price tag.
I’m a picky 🐝 so it has to be GOOD.

So today’s pick?
L’Oréal True Match Foundation + Concealer.
She’s giving $60 foundation energy with that seamless, skin-like finish… and the concealer? Brightens, hydrates, and covered the redness on my eyelids in two seconds flat.

Lightweight, buildable, hydrating and picky-girl approved.

Luxury feel & results… without the luxury price tag.
That’s my favorite combo. 🖤
Foundation 1.5N
Concealer light N2

My favourite and most worn blush!

✨ Brow Chaos but Make It Cute ✨
Currently undoing every tragic brow decision I made from 1995–2015.
I tweezed them off in the 90s, microbladed them in the 2010s, and now I’m literally getting the microblading lasered off because apparently my eyebrows love trauma. 😂

While I’m in my patchy-brow recovery era, the Micro-Stroke Brow Pen is doing the most. Tiny strokes, natural finish… almost looks like I still have real hair there. Almost.
Shade ebony 🖤

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

Foundation on Mature Skin - Day 3
Today we’re using the Patrick Ta Hydra-Luxe…and it’s giving all that glow without the grease!

What I like about it:
• Triple hyaluronic acid = instant plump
• Glycerin + squalane = glow without greasiness
• Light–medium coverage that evens things out and you can build it up if you want more
• Still lets your freckles + real skin live their best life

It’s giving soft, hydrated, “I slept eight hours” energy… even if I absolutely didn’t.
Shade 10 neutral

October & November empties worth restocking!

Back with another Beauty Edit - Hair edition…and today we’re talking about the one thing that tries to expose me every 3–4 weeks… the greys. ✨

I’m in between colours and, the roots are rooting!
Here is what over been doing for years!
I like the L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up because it fixes me up in literally seconds.

It blends seamlessly into my dark hair, doesn’t feel crunchy, doesn’t rub off, and buys me that extra week (or two 👀) until I head to my stylist ( me & bestie )

This is the best way…in my opinion, to apply it! It works like a charm!

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

My favourite Sambas!
Size down half a size 🖤

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

For my short girls!
When you need a little height… these are so cute!
Size down one size, they fit big.
I normally wear size 6.5 and I got 5.5 🖤

#LTKOver40 #LTKCyberWeek #LTKootd

BOUGIE ON A BUDGET (but … the elevated kind) ✨
You know I love luxury makeup over here… but I also love when I find something that looks, feels, and performs just like the high-end without the high-end price tag. I’m a picky 🐝 so it has to be good!

So today’s pick?
Milani Make It Last Original Setting Spray.
Up to 24 hours of wear, waterproof, sweatproof, and keeps your makeup locked in all day.

Lightweight, hydrating, and picky-girl approved.
Im a setting spray snob because I have sensitive skin and everything breaks me out. This one is GOOD!
Luxury feel & results… without the luxury price tag. That’s my favorite combo. 💅✨

Curl Chronicles ✨
Okay, Curlies… it’s our era now ♥️
After years of straightening the life out of our hair, we’re embracing the bounce, the texture, the whole vibe.
If you’ve got curls…or a curly-haired daughter or son, giving you the “SOS” eyes.
I’m testing every product, tool and technique so you don’t have to. I’ve got you! ♥️
We’re getting back our healthy, bouncy, effortless curls, so stick with me.

Tutorial for this is linked to this video 💇🏻‍♀️

#LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty

Curly hair routine! ✨

#LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Because it’s that subtle glow ✨
The little finishing touches make a big difference! I love adding a brighter shade to the inner corner to open things up. Sometimes it’s matte and sometimes it’s shimmer. This @rarebeauty shimmer has been my go-to for years… she’s delicate though - so don’t drop her!

And this brush is a must 🫶
