Simplifying your beauty routine

I'm definitely a fan of keeping my beauty routine very simple, there's so many products on the shelves these days and it becomes overwhelming choosing what products to use. But is there really an generic answer or a one size fits all approach when it comes to beauty and skincare?

As different as we are, most Makeup Artists will tell you one thing - skincare before makeup, always! Healthy skin is the basis of all flawless makeup and makeup should only be used to enhance and I guess filter to a certain extent. Ultimately, it cannot completely cover how you look on the outside and feel on the inside, we all know that starts with YOU. I remember the more I use to stress out and worry about my skin, the more I broke out. So I took the first step and made the realization that my skin would heal in it's own time, until today I still have my insecurities but I just try to keep positive.

Recently I came across an article that I truly related to regarding my skin journey this year, the message was easy - simplify and keep consistent. Further in the article, it goes into limiting yourself to 30 products a month and making sure you finish the product before purchasing another. As a makeup and skincare product hoarder, this is a challenge. However, I've given it a go and this has been on rotation for the last month for me. I've relisted the items on her list but modified it to my preferences/what I use to give you my simple guide.

Springtime fine & updates

Hi Guys! Sorry it's been a couple of months since I've written a beauty related post but I've been cookin up something and if you follow me on social media (Snapchat & Instagram) you would know - wait for it - I'm finally releasing my own lash line by the end of 2015!

I'm super stoked that this mini project of mine has finally come together and brought out the design side of me. From the materials to the lash styles and finally packaging design all with a little touch of me ;)

Besides my lash line release I have been keeping busy with the new wedding season as well as teaming up with some amazing Wedding Vendors to do some creative collabs that will hopefully be published soon!

Anyway, that's my update for now but thank you to my followers who continue to inspire me to keep doing what I love, I promise to be more frequent with my posts from now on!
