Comparing 2 NYX Primers

Image
  Primers here   A few quick thoughts on these two primers. They both work amazing especially for the price. I feel that a huge difference is the texture. It all depends on what you prefer. The marshmallow primer has a bit of a scent and it is a more fluffy texture-creamy. The plumping primer is very serum like. If you’re looking for almost like a skin care feeling primer this would be the one for you. To be completely honest, they both work very similar by preparing your make up to go on so smooth.  These are all of my opinions based on using them for quite some time now. I hope this quick run down helps. This post is currently trending on Pinterest and I wanted to give some quick thoughts behind the photo.  Thanks for reading x I am an Amazon affiliate.

Beauty Pick to Try This Spring- Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder

Image
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder  I tried this setting powder as a free gift from Sephora and I never went back!  Here are a few pros and cons. Pros: -Available for many skin tones:I love that there are 3 different powders that stretch between a variety of skin tones. I use the word stretch because even though the shade honey may be a better fit for me, I tried the translucent powder first and it still worked! No super light flash backs or anything. The descriptions says that it works best for skin tones through medium. It definitely had me sold as I was skeptical about  the shade fitting my skin tone at first.  -A little goes a long way. The size pictured is a mini and is lasts FOREVER! -Easy to use: this is my first setting powder that I’ve used and it is super user friendly. It’s really hard to make a mistake because you can use it anywhere on the face. It’s virtually mistake proof. -To state the obvious, it makes your makeup look so beautiful! Gives the pretties

5 Ways to Battle Puffy Under Eyes

Image
Under eye puffiness is an ongoing battle for me, especially since having 2 kids. I’ve found ways to help lessen the appearance and a routine that has actually given me noticeable results. Here are a few things that I include in my routine: 1-  HYDRATE I notice that when I don’t drink as much water, the next day my under eyes are noticeably puffier. I don’t have the exact reasoning for this but I do know that dehydration is a factor in overall appearance especially around the eye area. 2- COLD COMPRESSES  I found a new BFF and it’s a hot/cold eye mask. I apply it whenever I can whether that's before bed for a few minutes or when I wake up. The cold compress really lessens the swelling!  3- UNDER EYE CREAM So this one is interesting and debatable. I’ve actually heard from other ladies that they don’t find it necessary to apply eye cream if you have already have a good moisturizing routine. Honestly, I love the Advanced Night Repair Cream by Estee Lauder that I decided to try on

A Valentine's Day Outfit to Wear Now and Later

Image
  I am all about a super cute dress but lately my style has become more practical and streamline. Meaning, I gravitate towards items that I can re-wear in many different ways. Here was my Valentine’s Day look. An oversized pink sweater  (that was gifted from Evaless), gray leggings and minimal heels . Honestly, I would re-wear this exact same outfit to dinner but here is also how I would style each piece differently.  Pink sweater- front tuck into my favorite  Levi’s jeans . Booties (or sneakers), crossbody bag. Gray leggings- pair with a white button top or gray sweatshirt for a monochrome look. Same heels with the white top/sneakers with gray sweatshirt . Red heels- black or white dressier top with slim jeans and clutch.  I hope you found this helpful! I am an Amazon and RewardStyle affiliate. I receive commission for items purchased.

Here is a quick lunch idea! Basically a toasted bagel sandwich with turkey. Everything bagel and smoked turkey is shown here. I’m sure it’ll be yummy with what you have on hand, but the key is cream cheese. It gives the turkey such a pleasant unexpected twist.
