Highlight Your Lips! #HighlightCosmetics

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

Usually the last makeup item I put on before my look is done is my lipstick.  The perfect lippie can take a look a totally transform it - and my mood.  Bold, matte, glossy, nude - whatever the lipstick, if I feel good in it, it can put a smile on my face.  I've been testing out this new lipstick from Highlight, and it has definitely put a smile on my face!

A Wink and a Smile #PinkWink #BOGOForTheCure

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

Brows. Big, full, brows.  That's been the beauty trend for a while now.  And full, long lashes are always in style.  But what if yours are sparse? Or, worse, you lost all of them because of chemotherapy? Wink is a natural oil blend that could help.

Retinol Revive #Valentia


Press Sample. All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

Does the word, 'Retinol' strike fear into your heart?  Do you immediately think of the harsh, doctor-prescribed formulas of yore that made your skin turn red and peel off before finally healing?  Skincare science has advanced, thank goodness, and now you can get the skin-clearing benefits of Retin-A, but in a non-prescription form of Retinol.  It takes longer, but is so much gentler, and it's become a staple, not only in my skincare, but that of my husband, as well.

Sniffy Saturday #brooklynbetter

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

I don't know that aromatherapy can be the cure for all that ails me, but I sure do enjoy it.  A few drops of a perfectly scented oil in my diffuser can do wonders for my mood.  Essential oils mixed into massage carrier oils can ease my aches and pains, or transport me off to sleep.  I think I've found one of my new favorite oils for relieving stress and helping achieve a state of calm.

Twisty Black and Orange Stamping


Hello, Fireflies!

It's been awhile since I've posted a stamping nailart.. and while I'm working on one today, I figured I'd pull one up from the vault in the meantime. It was meant to be a bright, summer orange mani that I posted in a Facebook group sometime back, but it's giving me October Halloween vibes today!

Cleanliness is...now easier! #makeupbrushcleaner

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

I'm pretty terrible at cleaning, well, anything.  I'm a messy housekeeper, my dogs all need baths, and my kitchen always looks like I just cooked for an army.  One thing I'm trying to make a habit, though, is washing my makeup brushes once a week, and it's tools like these scrubbers from ESARORA that make it a little bit easier!

Triple Buena, Triple C #BUENASKIN


Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

Have you noticed that as the seasons change, your skin's needs change a little bit, too?  I love changing up my skincare routine pretty often anyway, but there are times when I'm looking for a little more of this, or a little more of that, a little more help with blemishes, or a little lighter routine.  If you're looking for a little more Vitamin C, you might want to check out this Triple C serum from Buena Skin!

Serum? #Serment

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

I've tried a lot of skincare, so it's only natural that eventually I'd try something from Korea.  If you haven't heard of K-beauty, it's all things Korean for beauty and skincare - and they are known for doing it right.

Strivectin Perfection #Strivectin

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

Did anyone ever tell you to, 'sleep on it' when you had a problem or a difficult decision to make? Our body uses the down time to rest and rejuvinate, and often, things seem clearer after a good night's sleep.  With StriVectin's Overnight Resurfacing Concentrate, sleeping on it can mean waking up with great skin, too!
