Hi hi hi!!! I have missed you, this blog, and all things MUWM for the last couple of months. The truth behind the distance is real, and it's annoying. LIIIIIFE! Being busy and having a dinosaur for a computer made things pretty hard to regularly post anything other than an Instagram here and there. Barf. I hate it. Even though every one you and I both know has a blog these days, blogging is STILL my favorite part of my business. I LOVE to write. I LOVE to talk about products,

DRUGSTORE PICKS: CONTOUR KITS If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me about contouring.......... I would be rich. Not like Oprah-rich.....more like, Oprah's-best-friend's-personal-assistant-rich. The reality is, without contouring, my face would look like a tupperware bowl. And that's putting it nicely. It makes you look thinner, it makes you look brighter and it makes you look all around BETTER. Amidst the THOUSANDS of contouring videos online that show you anywher

Drugstore Pick: BLUSHES It makes you look alive....makes you look less tired....makes you look younger....and makes you look....BETTER. I'll never understand how some women can so casually skip blush. I get the "no-makeup look" is in, but a little bit of subtle blush will pay off all day long, and trick others into thinking that you spent A LOT of time getting ready in the morning, AND keep you looking fresher all day long. Real talk. Blush matters and if you aren't wearing i

Drugstore Picks: Powder Love it, or hate it, powder is necessary for many. Some use it for oil-blotting to make sure their face doesn't evolve into a Shine-Monster, some HAAAATE liquid foundation so they opt for a powder foundation instead and some OUGHT to use it for blending out allllll that contour. Real talk. (If I could insert the sassy girl emoji....I would.) Seriously, use powder to soften your contour homies. These days, MANY liquid foundations really don't need a po

DRUGSTORE PICKS: EXTRAS While we still have a few SERIOUS heavy-hitters left of Drugstore-month...(foundation, contour kits and lips anyone?!) the in-between products are important too! The following categories are all products that I didn't buy a TON of options for this time around as I've tried SOOOOO many in the years previous, but I found amazing results with this batch. LIke seriously. We're gonna touch on the extras today by talking about a daily under-eye treatment, Ey

DRUGSTORE PICKS: Sponges/Blenders If you haven't heard of the beauty blender....or seen these freaky little sponge-creatures in Department stores OR Drugstores in a makeup aisle for the last few years....say hello. Blending sponges are all the rage these days. They're everywhere and people are using them for evvvvvverything makeup-wise: Foundation, concealer, cream-contouring, blush.....alllllllll things face. And if Blending sponges are all the rage, consider the Beauty Blen

DRUGSTORE PICKS: MASCARA Mascara is so.......PERSONAL. Like, WHAT woman doesn't want a great mascara to lengthen and thicken their lashes every day?? We all want lush, lux lashes. That's a no-brainer. But mascara can be tough to recommend thanks to our LASHES being an outright extention of the hair on our head. Think about it: your hair may hold curl all day where mine simply can't. You may have thick, voluminous locks where my hair is stick-straight and thin. These are prime

Drugstore Picks: CONCEALER Hey. Hey you! If you look in the mirror half-way through the day and think, "Barf...why do I look so tired?!" This might just be for you. Concealer is the dreamy, wonder-product that has the ability to brighten your eye area, (and brighten your whole face for that matter!) HIDE YOUR TIRED, and trick people into think you're more rested than you actually are. WIN WIN WIN. We all have discoloration around our eye-area. Black, purple, pink, blue....it'

DRUGSTORE PICKS: PRIMER Errmahgerd. Gigi Hadid's face is my makeup obsession these days. I love that her skin looks luminous, soft and glowy from the inside, ALLLL the time. Who doesn't want all of those things?? Welp, I basically found Gigi's skin....in a bottle. Honestly, I've never been a massive Primer fan. I've said it for years. If a product adds time to a routine and isn't a hundred percent necessary, I don't want it!! But now...... I WANT IT. I tried out a few primers

There seems to be every possible option for lips in a drugstore. Thousands of shades, tons and tons of different brands and formulas…Matte, sheer, gloss, stains, HOW DO WE CHOSE?! I poked around, used 5 or 6 and wanted to highlight a few. Ultimately, I think we could probably pick 20 different options and review them front to back but we’ll focus on a small handful today! To clarify, I LOVE long-wears, I love matte lipsticks and I generally don't settle on a lipgloss alone. L
