I've been testing out the @briogeo Sea Goddess Shimmer Mist and OMG it is such an amazing product. This is a hair & body #ShimmerNotGlitter product that haas amazing iridescent mica that is completely ocean safe. The 1st pic shows how it comes, 2nd shows after you shake it & before you apply it, and 3rd has my favorite way of using it (putting hair into bun & then spraying glitter over the bun!) What I 💜 most is that you can use it w/o causing crunchy hair (you know what I'm talking about!) & it washes out super easy! I'll actually be using this as a fun way of adding personality to my hair at the Linux Boot Camp I'll be going to next week! Check it out for yourself!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #sponsored #briogeobabe #prsample #beautyflatlay #flatlay #discoverunder5k #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife #youtube #youtuber #beautyyoutuber #smallyoutuber #cosmetics https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUCzDvAwxT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rt853j1jb8pm

I recently received the @pixibeauty Eye Reflections Palettes to review and OMG are they stunning! Pictures here are swatches of the Natural Beauty Palette, swiping once will get you swatches of the Reflex Light, and one last swipe will show you the PR package that I received, which is also pictured further down my feed, if you want to see the actual palettes.

Do you use clarifying shampoos and / or conditioners in your hair? If you do then you might want to check out my thoughts on the @kenraprofessional Detox and Deflect Hair Care System which is available at @Ultbeauty . * Shampoo - The shampoo retails for $18 for a small bottle and $40 for a big bottle with a pump! This shampoo is PERFECT if you're someone who uses product in your hair on a daily basis. This is a gently DAILY clarifying shampoo with activated charcoal to help detox the hair and Diamond Dust to help protect the hair from pollutants you come across daily. . * Scrub - The scrub retails for $28 for 6 oz. and OMG is it something that you NEED in your life. You use this once, maybe twice but no more than that, a week. You apply to damp hair and work it around, leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how much clarifying you need, rinse out, and then marvel at how amazing your hair looks. I'm not even kidding! Even if you don't use a lot of extra products in your hair, like me!, I still recommend that you pick this. Even if you purchase the shampoo for daily use I still recommend that you get this for a once a week treatment...you see where I'm going with this, just go purchase it! . * Conditioner - The conditioner retails for the same $18 and $40 for the same sizes as the shampoo. This conditioner leaves the hair so soft, smooth, and gorgeous that it isn't even funny...you can imagine how much I was feeling myself the day that I used the scrub WITH the conditioner! Again, this is one that I recommend for everyone, even if you don't get the shampoo. . * Hair Spray - The hairspray retails for $23 for an 8 oz. can that is freaking HUGE. If you're looking for a hairspray that gives your hair some hold while still having some movement to it and looking natural while adding a layer of protection with that same Diamond Dust I mentioned before...then this is something that you need to pick up. . I do want to mention that I received these products for review, HOWEVER, my love of them is completely my own and to prove that, go to the video via the clickable link in my bio. . #prsample #Kenra #DetoxDeflect #KenraProfessional #UltaBeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/BorMrbdBLyc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10rk2pnundzqc

Today I'm sharing my Top 5 Nail Polishes in a collab with some others from Geeks and Beauties but I wasn't able to swatch them for the video and I promised I would do it over on Instagram. We're working on the honor system here folks, I'm giving you all the spoilers against River Songs advice but you still have to go to the clickable link in my bio to see why I'm loving these polishes. Now let's jump in make sure to swipe left to keep up with me. * First up is @salonperfect Witches Brew. This is a speckled top coat that I switched in 2 coats on one stick and then one layer over two layers of @klpolish Paper Snow (white) and Tuxedo Mask (black). * Next is @formulaxnail TGIF and I'm so sad you can no longer get their polishes or The System. Anywho, this is two coats. * Next is two coats of @zoyanailpolish Sookie and I got it just so I can always say Sookie like Vampire Bill does in True Blood, I totally mimic it in the video, go watch if you don't believe me... * Next is the only neutral you'll find in my top anything, KL Polish Miss Honey * Last but not least is @opi Cajun Shrimp and I got this because 5'3 and from Louisiana, how could I not???!! #opi #everydayzoya #klpolished #beautyswatches #nailswatches #nailswatch #nailsofinstagram #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife #youtube #youtuber #beautyyoutuber #smallyoutuber https://www.instagram.com/p/BoR6Yg6BU3i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fzcwpk14asvr

Earlier this week I put up answers to the My Makeup Journey Tag. Some of the questions were: What is the first high end product you purchased? It was a tie between the @urbandecaycosmetics Oz Great and Powerful palettes and a few other products, I can't tell you all the answers otherwise you wouldn't go click the clickable link in my profile 😉 Another question was what item(s) have you repurchased the most and the @yslbeauty Faux Cils Mascara made that list as this is my FIFTH tube and counting, the @loccitaneusa Hand Cream also made the list as I have repurchased just about every size they offer multiple times over. The last two items here are the @toofaced Natural Matte Palette (original packaging of course 😉) and my @maccosmetics Viva Nicki lipstick and to find out what question they belong to, plus the other questions and answers, click on the clickable link in my profile! #beautyflatlay #flatlay #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife #youtube #youtuber #beautyyoutuber #smallyoutuber #cosmetics #urbandecay #yslbeauty #maccosmetics #loveloccitane #toofaced https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_vWfkBmhd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w3ro9ye4kou9

Before we talk about the photo can we just take a moment and talk about the fact that Grease is 40 years old this year! Does anyone else see those memes on Facebook where it's like "[Insert Movie] was released XYZ years ago" and you're "There's NO way that's possible" then you either think about the timing or run over to IMDB and ZOMG it is entirely possible? Yeah that's the moment I had when I saw the packaging for the @opi Grease Mini Nail Polish Set, which BTW is what these are swatches for. I'm talking about these on the blog and YouTube,. which you can of course find via the clickable link in my profile if you want to come chat about them as well... Down below tell me either your favorite Grease moment or one of the movies / TV shows it was a shock for you to realize was "old" . #OPIxGrease #OPI #ManiMonday #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologylife #beautyswatches #nailswatches #nailswatch #nailsofinstagram #youtube #youtuber #beautyyoutuber #smallyoutuber #cosmetics

Want to know my new favorite drugstore mascara? You can probably tell from the picture that it's the @pixibeauty Large Lash Mascara and telling you that is probably going to keep you from clicking the clickable link in my profile to see my thoughts on why BUT you should still go click. Why? Because that's where you'll find out about the formula, how much it costs, where to purchase it and 🎶 all that jazz 🎶 okay I'm done now, go click! . #pixibeauty #prsample #pixibypetra #brandambassador #giftedbeauty #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreemakeup #targetstyle #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautybloggers #bblogger #bbloggers #cosmetics #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife #youtube #youtuber #beautyyoutuber #smallyoutuber

I may or may not have picked up @maccosmetics Aaliyah More Than a Woman Lipstick, Street Thing Lipstick, and Brooklyn Born Lipglass just to get the free bandana that came with a $35 MAC x Aaliyah Collection purchase but I'm not confirming or denying. However, if I did I totally wouldn't have put up a review with swatches on the blog or a YouTube video over viewing those and the eye shadow palette I reviewed a few weeks ago on the blog and you of course wouldn't be able to access those via the clickable link in my profile... . #AaliyahForMAC #MACxAaliyah #maccosmetics #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #cosmetics #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife #youtube #youtuber #beautyyoutuber #smallyoutuber #flatlay #beautyflatlay

This is what I got in my June @boxycharm Yes I know I’m late but I was sick from the end of May through most of June, forgive me? Let’s talk about the June box a bit though. That @alamarcosmetics palette? Gorgeous! I can’t WAIT to take pictures and then dive in. I’ve wanted to try an @ofracosmetics liquid lipstick, and this looks like an amazing shade to try, and the @soldejaneiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, can we say cult classic?, so I’m stoked about those and who doesn’t want @luxiebeauty brushes?! All in all an AMAZING box and I can’t wait to see what’s going to be in my July box!

I’m an LOVING these @pixibeauty Eyeliners. The Endless Silky Eye Pens have gorgeous pigmentation and they LAST and don’t even get me started on how easy it is to do winged liner with the Lash Line Ink!

I was a huge fan of Aaliyah back in the day and when she died I was incredibly sad. When @maccosmetics announced they were doing an Aaliyah collection I was all for it. I picked up the MAC Aaliyah Eye Shadow Palette to review and swatch, check out the clickable link in my profile for that, and I have to tell you I’m so glad that I did. The shadow names are awesome, the shadows are gorgeous, and the packaging is amazing. I have some of the lipsticks and a lipglass on the way so be on the lookout for those! . #AaliyahForMAC #maccosmetics #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #cosmetics #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife

#ad I had the amazing opportunity to try the @bobbibrown Primer Plus Mattifier and Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Foundation (review on that soon!). Due to the fact that I have dry skin I was expecting to not like this mattifying primer at all BUT omg this just became my holy grail pore minimizing primer because your girl has got some major pore action going on but not after using this. What made it even more amazing was that even though it was mattifying it didn’t leave me looking dry and it works well with a lot of different foundations. While you can guess that I highly recommend picking this up make sure to check out the clickable link in my profile for more details on the Bobbi Brown Primer Plus Mattifier and links to purchase! . #bobbibrown #beautyflatlay #flatlay #beauty #beautyblog #beautybloggers #beautyblogger #bblogger #bbloggers #cosmetics #beautyproducts #beautyguru #instabeauty #talkthatmakeup #ilovemakeup #wakeupandmakeup #cosmetology #cosmetologist #cosmetologylife #cosmetologistlife

Let’s play a game of what’s ON your refrigerator. The picture in the middle is of our Great Dane Lila with our bearded dragon Harry on her head. This may or may not have been our Christmas card photo for last year... . The magnet in the upper right is for the vet that we take Harry to. If you live in Georgia or even lower SC the drive to Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital of Georgia is worth it! They are so patient and understanding. . The three post it notes are actually from @ohhellostationery and they are amazing quality. Sooo much better than regular post-its AND they have cute prints. The Don’t Forget notes in the bottom left have our fridge grocery list and the Notes one under the magnet is where we put doctor’s appts and you can see Harry has her 6 month check up tomorrow!! The Oh Hello branded pad has a grid layout and is how I layout upcoming blog posts...so there may be a sneaky peaky or two #prsample #ohhellostationery #ohhellopoppies #dogsofinstagram #greatdanesofinstagram #greatdane #beardeddragon #beardeddragonsofinstagram #bloglife #behindthescenes #bloggerlife #onthefridge
