Blackberry v2019

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Which year wore it better? 😂

I thought I looked GREAT that day in 2017, wearing crazy Blackberry LipSense. But looking back, I definitely needed more makeup to complete the look. But I wasn’t wearing ANY eye makeup (I never wore eye makeup), my brows weren’t done (and they were also way overplucked), and my skin looked so pale (but even back then I still wore Medium CCTM).

So I wanted a redo on Blackberry today (because Halloween) and I decided to top it with Clover Gloss because I hadn’t used Clover in a long time. Holy crap y’all. It was legit green when I put it on. It calmed down a little bit but this is so much fun.

When it was time to re-gloss I figured why not do another fun color? This time I pulled out the Blue Orchid Gloss! 💙

I’m honestly not sure which one I like better.

So this may sound silly but for someone who was never taught how to wear makeup, seeing a difference in my application results is a big deal.

Check out my Halloween mask!

So as you now know, I had the Santa discussion with Owen this morning before school and my heart is currently broken. 💔 So, I needed to do something to take my mind off of that. It was either retail therapy…or makeup therapy. So in trying to conserve a little bit of money, I tried makeup therapy…copying something I’ve seen others do. So here’s my mask, done completely with SeneGence makeup!

It’s sooo not perfect but it’s way better than I thought it would turn out. (I learned there’s a very fine line between just pulling face fat and making it look like a mask. 😂) Also? If you squint just a bit, it looks even more mask-like.

What do y’all think? I’m not quitting my day job that’s for sure… 🥁

I was actually surprised by how many people thought it was a real mask! And this comment from my Sene-crush Siara made my day:

Let’s sell some magic lipstick!

Today was a busy day–I’ve been up since 5am!—but I did it in style in my tiara!! 😛

I had a vendor event (the same one I did two years ago) so I wore a little more makeup than normal… But what once might have taken me an hour only took me about 20 minutes!! 🙌🏻 And oh my gawd I forgot how amazing Brick is!! 💕‼️

Here’s everything I used in my look:

I didn’t have my tiara on for the first round of pics…so I had to take more! (By the way, lots of people loved it and commented on it. So get yourselves a tiara, ladies! It’s fun!)

The event was fun and I couldn’t have done it without help from my friend (and customer!) Heidi—we really make a great team! I also met some great ladies (they like margaritas, too so there may be some parties happening in the near future).

Before we knew it the event was over and time to pack up! Tom picked me up and we went to grab a drink to celebrate!

Fast forward to getting ready for bed at 11:30pm…

‼️ I’m not kidding when I say this stuff lasts all day.

I’m finally ready for bed so it’s time to check my before and after comparison pics. I really gave my makeup a workout today—17 hours. The only thing really bad are my lips, but I did spend most of the day proving they were smudge-proof (rubbing them and applying gloss like a boss) and I stopped glossing about 4pm. 🙌🏻 If I had done a quick color fix then, it would still be going strong. But still, not too bad for 17 freaking hours!

What a crazy live sale!

So I’d been having a party all month long in my business group and it culminated with a live sale. My bestie Heidi came to help and we started things off right with a margarita.

I had planned for about an hour but it ended up to be almost two!! And I’m so glad she was there to help because they’re is no way I could have done it alone. The only bad thing about doing it at night is that I had about four hours of work to do after!

This was at 9:53.

This was at 12:10.

I finally called it a night at 2am.

Fri-YAY: Friends!

This week I’m thankful for friends. That seems really generic, I know, but let me explain.

Being military and moving every three years, there is a certain cycle that we go through each move–it generally takes about two full years before we finally have a good set of friends. You know…the ones you can call last-minute to watch your kids, the ones you can call to take your kids to sportsball practice when you can’t make it, the ones you invite over for dinner because your kids get along so well. It’s also a time when friends are around regularly enough that it seems very commonplace–like we’ve been here our whole lives.

So we’re at that two-year mark.

This week I went for a walk around the neighborhood with a friend, I ran into a friend shopping at Michael’s, a friend came over to shop for make-up, a friend and I vented to each other about life, I helped a friend decide what artwork to hang in her house, a friend came over and picked me up because she wanted to talk and I had been drinking and couldn’t drive, and a friend offered her assistance in designing a T-shirt for our upcoming family vacation.

Friends are amazing and I don’t take any of them for granted.

Where did my wrinkles go?!

😳💩 HOLY SHIT BALLS!! I have to share this because I am honestly blown away—I was NOT expecting what I saw!

I was trying to find an old pic to see how much (if any) my lashes have grown since using a new mascara (because I thought they have but photo proof is always great) and I found proof…but I totally didn’t expect to see the huge reduction in wrinkles, too!!! I mean, just look!!! 😱

👉🏻👉🏻 Anti-Wrinkle Treatment 2x/day for the freaking win!! 🙌🙌

👉🏻👉🏻 VolumeIntense mascara (and primer) for the win! (I have only recently started wearing it 4-5 days a week – for the first few months it was maybe once a week).

👉🏻👉🏻 And though you may think my dark undereye circles look better, too… Honestly that’s due to the Light Concealer I wore today (which I don’t always wear)! 🤣

And just the lashes…

Unfortunately I have become that person that feels naked without mascara now… but the benefit is really long lashes!!

So anyway I’ll just be over here high-fiving myself 🙌🙌 and staring at these AMAZING results. #nofilter

Every woman needs a good red lipstick!

Even if sometimes it’s just to go to a kids baseball game on a lazy Saturday morning! ⚾️😜

SeneGence has a bunch of reds to choose from (so there’s literally something for everyone, even if you think you can’t wear red!) but Hurricane Red is totally my jam. Unfortunately it doesn’t last the longest…but it certainly looks amazeballs while it does. I always get a bunch of compliments on it and today was no different.

Do you have a good red lipstick?

Recognize anyone?!

😳😳 OMG!!! SQWEEEEE!!! Look at who made it into one of the product collages for our newly-launched gloss?! 🍇🍇 It’s not an official corporate photo, but we all use these collages so it’s kind of blowing my mind. 🤯🤯

I am quite regretting my decision to not wear mascara in that pic, though (but to be fair, I didn’t take the pic knowing it would be in a collage—it was a simple makeup day).

When your bestie decides she needs Lipsense.

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

So this is what happens when your bestie FINALLY comes to her senses and realizes she needs Lipsense in her life and she comes over to find just the right color and she’s a little picky. 😜 (Totally not judging because it also took me forever to find my perfect color, and I didn’t have anyone with this big of a selection to help me out so it took way longer than an hour.)

After all these colors, she ended up loving a combo of Cappuccino and Giddy Up with either Orchid or Grape gloss. She might also have gotten sucked into the Smoked Topaz on your brows train… GORGEOUS!!
