I started putting together some of my gift picks a while back, but with ALL that is going on in our country and the world, it just didn’t seem right to do.

So, in my first ever holiday gift guide I’m sharing with you a few of my most favorite and most gift-able things. Hopefully amongst them…

Microblade Tatbrow Pen: Is it Worth the $27 Hype?
So I’m definitely not one of those people who follow the hype; however, after several ads all over the internet about microblading tattoo pens for eyebrows, I broke down and bought it. And? …. Tatbrow is not that bad. It does require some practice to achieve a natural look. But all in all, not too shabby.

In my Beauty Hit List Volume II post I promised you highlighters. I’m back today to make good on that promise! Previously I’d only dipped my toe in the highlighter pond. This was partly because I struggled with adult acne. Adding highlighers to my textured skin just didn’t seem to make sense to me. But the year of 2018 brought me better skin and saw me dive head first into the world of highlighters. Here are a few that I wore on repeat all 2018. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Technically this first product is not a highlighter, but an illuminating finishing powder. While I would never apply one of these…

Today I’m sharing with you the items in my makeup bag that I absolutely must have!
