Step 1. Juice Beauty Tinted Moisturizer. Ok JUICE. Freaking Juice. I am consistently so happy with their stuff. This tinted moisturizer is no diff. It's thicker than my old bb cream which took some getting used to but I love it now! Creamy and smooth and smells so light and fresh. The coverage is super good.
Step 2. Puerto Vallarta all up in this bish. This lip/cheek tint by Nars has been my fave for years. I am never leaving it. It's the perfect bright creaminess. Plus, the name. Like, hi, Mexico all day long.
Step 3. Random mascara. I currently use this and I'm happy with it but not in love. I have yet to fall in love with mascara. What do you love? Help me.
Step 4. Lips. Either a swipe of my staple Un-Petroleum Jelly or a bit of this lip balm if I'm feeling medium fancy or my fave nude lipstick if I'm feeling FANCY.
Guys! That's it! Badda freaking bing, bb.
(I even tested it out right before I had to leave to pick the kids up from school so I could be, like, so real.) (1 MIN!) (Hence the mediocre blush blending) (¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

1, you are beautiful with or without make -up. 2, So the cheek tint.. I need a tutorial on how to use those. I just remember my mom in the 90s taking her bright lipstick and warrior-style painting that stuff on their so I've been afraid.. very afraid to use color on the cheek that didn't fall from some loose powder type thing. But THAT IS A MESS! So I want to like the cheek tints and stains. I really do. 3rd. I have the worst eyelashes.. and everything clumps. but randomly the Mary Kay regular standard Mascara works for me.. buuuut you gotta find someone who sells it..
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm doing it right but I just smile and smear it across the apples of my cheeks then blend! Feels so much easier than power blush and the color is way more saturated.
DeleteMy all-time fave mascara -- and I'm a junkie, so I've tried most things -- is Smashbox X-Rated. It'll up your time a little, because to really get the wow factor you need 2-3 coats, but it's worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteDef checking it out!
DeleteTotally didn't scroll down to the after picture and thought "Wow, she does look put together!" bUT I've been looking for a plz-give-me-better-coverage bb cream so *thank you*!
ReplyDeleteI like Almay's for _____eyes (brown for moi, which is actually a slightly purpleish mascara?!) Because the brush is nice and big, and doesn't hurt the base of my eyelashes when I apply it. And it's pretty cheap! ALSO ALSO ALSO Simple makes this:

Which is the best things since sliced bread to remove makeup, and doesn't feel oily! I can have my contacts in and not be blinded by fuzzy vision when I take my eye makeup off. My roommate turned me on to this and have been singing its praises to every child of God I meet.
Ooh good recs! Thank you!!
DeleteI thought your before was your after--you look great both ways! And Diorshow mascara has been my favorite for at least the past 10 years--every time I try to branch out I always end up going back!
ReplyDeleteAgree to both of these statements!
DeleteOops typed too fast --Katie
DeleteGorgeous. Before and after.
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet
DeleteThat blush looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe mascara I love, and that makes me look like I slept more than 4 hours is Two Faced's "Better than sex."
And it almost is. Almost.
Oooohhh I kinda feel obligated to buy to bc of the name!
DeleteToo faced "better than sex" is kinda flakey, which some prefer but if you prefer a smoother formula try Tarte lights camera lashes.. I prefer that one more than "better than sex" but the too faced one has way better packaging. By which I mean the packaging doesn't break easily.
DeleteI've been thinking about trying something from the Juice brand so thanks for the review. It is fun to read makeup reviews from fellow Mom's cause we all have limited time for ourselves!
Oh I meant not flakey by fibrous like it doesn't flake off but it's really lash enhancing and full which can look like too much on some people. K there's my full review, lol.
DeleteFirst off: you have fab skin to begin with. Gorgeous! Second: our routine is pretty much the same. I just add in a little bronzer. I have yet to find a mascara I love. I keep coming back to L'oreal Voluminous Original. I have been using it on and off since I was 18. I have spent a lot on mascara and bought the cheapest possible. This one is cheap and works well. I'm still searching for something better though.
ReplyDeleteCheap good mascara: L'Oreal telescopic mascara
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ever: Benefit They're Real (primer and mascara).
Lip balm tdf: Smith's rosebud salve
Tutorial!!!! Please!!! You look good ma! $$$$ 😁
ReplyDeleteYou must try Roller Lash. It's a curling mascara!!
ReplyDeleteYes! Tutorial! Please! (I'm currently re-training a toddler to say "please" after the, "surprise! new sibling" regress -- I should set a good example).
ReplyDeleteI use some of the same products because of time/quality! Seriously consider trying Cover girl Lashblast Volume Mascara. (Orange packaging) It's at any drugstore, so affordable. I've tried tons of other, more expensive, mascaras and hated all of them haha. Insider tip, take a tissue wrap it around the wand to wipe off the excess product before applying. Gives you such a natural (but better) look!
ReplyDeleteI've been a long time seeker of the perfect mascara, and I've finally found mine- it's Jane Iredale, the primer/conditioner plus the black mascara on top of that. It's the bomb.
ReplyDeleteWhoa you look awesome. I LOVE Tarte Mascara. It makes your eyelashes super long with one coat and doesn't flake with contacts. They make a clay version if you prefer natural stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pro drugstore mascara. I really like covergirl the green one. It's called clump crusher by lashblast.
ReplyDeleteI just use bronzer instead of blush but now I want to try a cheek tint!
I like LANCÔME definicils. Other mascara just ends up under my eyes. ��
ReplyDeleteAnd because there are so many products available it is a humongous job to select the best ones.

ReplyDeleteThis is so random, but what shade do you use of the Juice Beauty Tinted Moisturizer? I feel like my skin color is similar to yours and I don't know whether to go lighter or darker?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI Read the article of a very great spell caster and it seems very helpful
to me. I haven’t had the chance to have a proper relationship with my ex
because we work together. This will be the final week or work and then I
wont be around him constantly. Unfortunately, I broke one of the rules in
the article and have been sleeping with him. Something I’m not proud of,
especially since he has a girlfriend. Not to mention that she’s a girl he
dated off and on for 3 years before he dated me.
When I asked him why he kept sleeping with me even though he was in a
relationship, his response was because I wanted it, and he wants me to be
happy. But obviously what would make me happy would be to have him all to
myself. That was when i read about Dr alexzander on how he help people in
saving their relationship and i was really desperate for his help. There
were things in our relationship that were tough. We traveled for 4 months
right in the beginning, and it was hard due to different expectations. When
we returned our living situation was unstable which caused a lot of stress
on my end. And when I ask why he didn’t give me a chance to make things
better he said he gave me tons of chances. Oh, and he compared our
relationship with his past. He says that things were great, and then they
went bad really fast, and that why his back with is Ex. Because it at least
took them years for things to get that bad. So i was very sad and
disappointing and decided to contact this spell caster for help with tears
running out of my eyes and Dr alexzander promised to make things right in
my relationship and also assured me that my boyfriend is going to come back
to me within 78hrs. At first i was shock and didn't believe him because i
thought it was impossible to do. But i gave it a try and trusted him. Dr
alexzander asked for my details and his, then guarantee me of his return.
Truly my ex lover started calling me and also begging me to forgive him and
that's his willing to give us a second chance, then promised me never to
love any other woman apart from me. it all seem like a miracle to me till
now. Dr alexzander. Words can't express how i feel right now. it been 2
month now since you caste that love spell for me and nothing have gone bad
between us. his now caring more than ever and also the loving kind of Man i
have ever wanted for myself in life. I thank you Dr alexzander for saving
my relationship. Indeed you are the best. I want to use this media to share
my testimony for the whole world to see and know that there is still hope
in your broken relationship, No matter how bad it seems don't give up hope
and also contact this man who saved my own. you can reach him through his
website address http://alexzanderhightemple-com.webs.com or contact him
direct with his email address alexzanderhightemple@gmail.com. I thank you
Dr alexzander for helping me and i will always share my testimony in every
social media or place i may go to.
