#amikagiftedme Texting my high school self to ask her to stop straightening my hair on full heat 📱@amika sent me a product I’ve had my eye on for sooo long - their iRed Polished Perfection Brush.
💇🏼‍♀️ My hair has always been fine, and it’s so important to do everything I can to keep it healthy and growing.
💆🏼‍♀️ I love this so much more than my normal straightener because of its far-infrared light beam system. Basically, this allows heat to go deeper into the hair while retaining moisture and causing less damage.

Product spotlight ✨ #AmorePacificgiftedme their Vintage Single Extract Essence and honestly it’s one of the few essences I’ve actually seen make a difference in my skin.
🔎 my skin can get super blotchy and I found that with the green tea it drastically helped clear up my skin. For this reason alone I can see why it’s an @allure best of beauty winner.
🔎 It’s anti-aging and feels amazing on the skin - definitely refreshing + I’ve been religiously using it morning and night and still have barely made a dent in it.
🔎 full disclosure - this is absolutely a splurge item, one I definitely would not have been able to afford had they not gifted me. However, if you can swing it I definitely give it a 5/5.

Sometimes when you’re thrown off your equilibrium it can be so hard to get back. Life in general is a total balancing act and sometimes you have to make the decision to step back for a couple moments to get just breathe.
.
I took some time off from the blog because I got so sick the past few weeks and decided it was just the best thing for me. It’s hard to make the conscious decision to step away from something you love to do, to not go out, or to take time just for yourself. But I’ll always remind myself and maintain that I started this for me and to get creative, so I shouldn’t beat myself up for taking time to feel better and neither should any of you in your own lives!
.
I’m grateful to be back in creative spirits and start posting regularly again, thank you all for sticking with me during this tiny sabbatical! I have so many fun things planned for this month and can’t wait to share them with you! 💙

Tonight’s skincare routine with some of my all time favorites that I come back to again and again 🧖🏼‍♀️
1. Remove makeup with @julepbeauty cleansing oil - literally the best, it never stings my eyes and gets everything off
2. The extra bougie @freshbeauty black tea kombucha essence which makes my skin sooooo soft
3. @herbivorebotanicals emerald serum
4. Back using Neulash to lengthen my lashes
5. Top everything off with @summerfridays jet lag mask
6. Seal it all in (vacuum bag style) with @caudalie grape water
.
These are hands down some of my favorite products for dry skin, while some are definitely splurges, they would still be instant rebuys for me. Drop your HG dry skin saviors below!

The aftermath of last night’s look 👀 so many of you complimented the red lip I chose and it’s actually the @stilacosmetics shade bisou which went viral and sold out after @ocasio2018 named it as the one she wears all the time. Regardless of your politics, we can all agree on a good solid timeless red lipstick 💄

🚂 choo choo hoppin on the bandwagon with some lovelies I picked up from @ulta today. Can y’all believe I haven’t tried the @tarte shape tape before? Finally time to find out if it’s all it’s hyped up to be.
.
As for the others I’ve loved pairing luxe items with great drugstore finds recently, so I hope you’re loving the price diversity!
🚂 I’ve tried the liquid @maybelline superstar foundation and it is thiqqqq honey. It stays insanely well as do the superstay matte liquid lips, so I’m hoping this powder will as well (powder is BACK people)
🚂 People have been raving over the @lorealmakeup lumi line since its launch and with spring coming up I’m ready to break out this new bronzer, I got the light one since I’m so pale!
🚂 not gonna lie, I totally bought the @nyxcosmetics micro brow pencil because I can’t stop saving looks from @elizabethkayeturner and she made me do it
🚂 lastly, I’m looking for something more full coverage to *gasp* potentially replace my UD naked skin corrector, so I’m trying out this @beccacosmetics one with this highly rated brush from @katvondbeauty

Two newbies that I am so incredibly pumped about! 🥂
🧖🏼‍♀️ I’ve had my eye on this @silkelondon hair wrap forever (y’all even helped me pick out the navy color on my stories awhile back) As someone who has struggled so much with damaged hair I’m really hoping this makes a difference.
🧖🏼‍♀️ as for this @benefitcosmetics Browvo! conditioning eyebrow primer, I put it on immediately after opening and am loving it so far. Doesn’t feel too stiff or crusty + I helps me to get a super fluffy effect on my blonde brows! I’m slowly getting back into benefit products and would love any recommendations!

I have chronically dry hair and have struggled with severe damage + breakage since undergrad. My hair constantly needs moisture, making hair masks + oils my two best friends. Two cruelty-free products I’ve been reaching for constantly in my routine are the Rhythm of the Rain hair mask + Walk in the Sun luxury hair oil* from @voirhaircare at #uobeauty 💧🍊
.
✨ the hair mask smells straight up amazing but not overpowering and only takes about 5 mins in the shower. I use it as a conditioner replacement, but love putting it even on my scalp because even with the Shea butter + argan oil it’s not too oily which I love. I can feel a noticeable difference in my hair after rinsing it out, and love how easy it is to use.
✨ as for the hair oil, it has the faintest citrus + vanilla smell and feels like a dry oil. Made with rosehip, jojoba + sunflower oil it’s a thin oil that doesn’t feel goopy on your hands or hair and absorbs quickly.

Valentine’s Day is coming up, which in my opinion can be one of the more controversial holidays. This upcoming week, I think it’s important to celebrate the love in your life - whether it’s friends, family, a partner or just celebrating your own journey with self-love. I’ve rounded up my favorite Valentine’s Day gifts on the blog (because I legit cannot resist a red lip) 🥰 what’re your thoughts on the holiday?

Do you see what I see? 👀 Once I figured out how to use hydrocolloid patches (aka pimple patches) the right way, my approach to acne totally changed. I’m someone who, regrettably, can’t resist popping a zit and these clear little @herocosmetics patches virtually make my white heads disappear overnight.
.
These babies such out all the gunk and aren’t medicated, making them the perfect spot treatment, and they completely flatten and dry mine out. If I see a pimple popping up during the day and have an event at night I’ll even pop one of these on for a couple hours and it helps so much. Monster zits have met their match 💪🏻 What’re y’alls favorite acne products?

It’s getting cold here in BR ☃️ and my skin is feeling it! Some of my current winter favorites at the moment:
❄️ @weleda_usa skin food - I finally jumped on the bandwagon and this stuff is amazing, soaks in soooo well
❄️ @glossier cloud paint in storm is the perfect winter flush
❄️ @darphin redness relief soothing serum + rose hydra-nourishing oil cream* - the perfect morning pair and they smell amazing, I love slathering it on first thing
❄️ @firstaidbeauty eye duty triple remedy* - I didn’t think anything could come close to my urban decay naked skin corrector, but this skincare hybrid is my new favorite for dark circles
❄️ @skingymco #uobeauty gua sha
❄️ @lauragellerbeauty powder foundation gives such a radiant look to the skin

One of the best things I’ve come to appreciate this past year is all the diversity in the beauty industry. I often find myself saving and loving so many looks on a variety of skin tones, gaining inspiration from all types of women. There’s so much to be had from embracing each of our individuality and I hope this is something y’all come to celebrate and love too.

It’s crazy to think that one year ago today I launched Foundation Forward. I remember being so nervous, worrying what other people would think, if my content would be good enough. But this past year has taught me so much about accepting yourself and following your passions.
.
I love cosmetics and how it can bring together a community of artists and creators. How it can be a way to lift people up, build confidence, encourage diversity, institute fun and redefine how we think of ourselves.
.
I’m truly thankful for each and every one of you following along with me and hope I can continue to inspire you to embrace your beautiful uniqueness and express your true self. Cheers to an incredible first year 🥂

All the vintage ✨ when packing to come down to Florida I knew I had to break out the @realcaboodles Growing up, my first introduction to makeup was really through the powder blue caboodle that held all my dance recital makeup for years. I wish I still had that one, but I’m so glad they’re making a comeback! Do y’all have any favorite memories of caboodles from when you were young?

I’ve been in the market for a new eye cream for awhile now but have been waiting to find one that really supports my needs. @savorbeauty gifted me their organic caviar eye cream* at the perfect time.

🕯 it’s got super clean natural ingredients + smells super calming
🕯 boosts collagen with CoQ-10 and increases microcirculation to decrease dark circles (something I have always struggled with!)
🕯 made in NYC!

Let me preface this post by saying I have never been a gloss person and still don’t really consider myself one 🍯 however, this @fentybeauty gloss bomb is one of the few I’ve fallen in love with + the drop of the new one in Fu$$y has me feeling some type of way (aka I need it now!)
.
Overall, I’ve been fairly impressed with Fenty and their products. Their foundation is legendary, the gloss feels and smells delicious, the matte lips are insanely pigmented, and (even though I’m a gold girl at heart) I couldn’t resist picking up the diamond bomb for the holiday season 💎 aka Fenty is making me rethink a lot! What’s y’alls favorite product from them? This is currently all I have!
