Recently, I have just been obsessed with many of the Rimmel drugstore makeup products. There are many I have found that are some of my everyday go-to products! I have tried many things from the cosmetic line and I thought it would be fun to share my findings-the good and the bad of Rimmel cosmetics.
So here’s the video for you, hope you enjoy it!
I am wearing all Rimmel products in this photo.
Tell me, are there any products you LOVE from Rimmel? It is becoming one of my favorite drugstore makeup brands!
I’ve had the pleasure of trying a new makeup line; it’s called Ellis Faas. She makes very fashion forward, edgy , innovative makeup and I was fortunate enough to try some out!
The colors are fascinating, she has some beautiful shades in the collection as well as a “sparkly” eye shadow collection called “lights” that are AMAZING!
All of the packaging is in sleek silver bullets, which I explain in my video is a little interesting and odd to me.. but nonetheless, the reason she did that was to make things easy to put into a holder or clip where all of them can be put into your purse in an organized way. The picture below is from the website so you can see an example of the “holder” I am talking about.
I hope you guys enjoy my first impressions video of these Ellis Faas products.
I just received some products from “It cosmetics” and I have never tried anything from this brand before. I thought it would be fun to do a “first impressions ” video of some of the various products so you can get to know some of the products.
I have a CC cream, concealer, bronzer, lipglosses, a makeup brush and more to show you! If you have ever seen these products before or wondered about them, I hope this can help give you more information about them if you are considering trying any out.
Here is the first impressions video I made about It Cosmetics.
I am looking forward to using these more and incorporating them into my makeup routine. I will be sure and update you to let you know if any of these products really stand out and are things I love. So far, my favorites from the collection are the My Sculpted Face bronzers and highlighters. I find this palette extremely useful because it has a variety of sculpting shades.
I also am loving the Vitality Glow Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer. It is wonderful because it’s such a large size, it’s completely Matte and it’s great for bronzing the neck and chest.
Thanks for reading and watching and don’t forget to visit It Cosmetics for more product information.
I have teamed up with Linda’s Photography in Delano this year to do makeup for what they call “Glam Sessions.” They are Senior Photo Sessions that are closer to 4 hours with as many outfit and background changes as you want in that time and you get to work with me as your makeup artist to achieve awesome fun and glam looks that you wouldn’t normally do on your own. You can also have a hair stylist there if you want more awesome hair options.
I love doing makeup for senior pictures, because it seems like just yesterday that I was getting mine done, and I remember how EXCITED I was for them. For most girls this is the one big photo shoot just for themselves they’ll ever experience. So, I think Glam Sessions are a fabulous idea because why not make it extra special and fun!?
Here are some tips if you are doing your own makeup for your photo session.
Hope you all enjoyed this video and found it helpful if you are going to be having your photos taken. If you are a Senior in highschool and are going to be graduating in 2014-check out whatLinda’s Photography has to offer and maybe I’ll see you at your Glam Session!
I tried a few new lip products from NYX recently, one was a really big hit and one was underwhelming. Check out my latest video…hope you enjoy my review of the new NYX Butter Glosses and the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme’s.
Hope you all had an amazing Easter and Spring Break!
February was a fast month. But, even though it went by fast, I have many favorite beauty products from the month. There is a good mix of makeup, hair products and fragrance. I hope you enjoy watching this video.
If you have any questions about any of the products I mentioned…feel free to ask. I hope you will check out my Facebook Page if you enjoy seeing these videos and posts and want to keep up with all of my latest updates.
Honestly, this may sound nerdy…but one of my favorite things to do is to organize. I love things to look, clean, and simplified. The container store is one of my favorite stores ever because it has such cute ideas for organization. My beauty collection has had many changes over the years. You have to work with what you have and the space you are allowed.
In our first apartment that we lived, this was my set up:
Now, that we’re in a house it’s morphed into something that looks sort of like this:
I love watching videos on how people organize and clever ideas on storage. How do you keep things organized??
A piece of advice I received when I started making YouTube videos was to make content that “I would want to watch”. I was told to make the kinds of videos that I like to watch. With all that said, sharing what I got for my birthday seems a little weird, but at the same time, I think it’s fun..and personally, I like to see what others got for their birthday. It’s sorta like when you’re little and everyone has to watch you open your presents…but as we get older, people don’t watch us anymore.
Anyway, I’ll quit my rambling. Here’s my latest beauty video showing some of the latest beauty and style items I received as gifts. Bear makes a cute appearance in the beginning of the video!
The cover of Harper’s Bazaar with Jennifer Lopez inspired me to create a look like hers on the cover. She has these beautiful orangy-red lips and winged brown shadows. Now, you just have to bear with me. I do not have her skintone, hair or eye color so everything on me looks different than it does on her. But- the main point of this video was to share with you guys how you can create any makeup look you get inspired by no matter who you see it on!
If I was asked what one hair styling tool I wouldn’t want to live without. It would be my GHD Flat iron. The reason is, you can straighten your hair stick straight, and even put curls in it as well. I have tried so many different brands of flat irons but I feel like the GHD is honestly the best.
I’ve had an older model for the past few years and it’s never let me down. It heats up in seconds and has 1 ” plates that straighten hair perfectly. I recently was gifted the limited edition metallic rich ruby flat iron and it’s gorgeous. It’s always more fun in my opinion when your tools are a different color other than black!
Here is the video I made demonstrating how easy it is to use the GHD flat iron and how I can create pin straight hair in just minutes.
I have had other flat irons in the past that snag or catch on hair and pull it out but the GHD seems to be built so well and has never pulled my hair while using it.
It is simple to use, there is only one on switch and it literally heats up in less than 20 seconds; it’s super fast.The great thing about that is, if you decide last minute that you need to straighten out your hair, you can get the job done in minutes. It also cools down very quickly.
Another great feature about the GHD flat iron is the swivel cord on the side shown in the picture above. For instance, while curling your hair if you are twisting the iron around, it is not going to get tangled up in the cord, the cord moves around as you move the iron. In my video I demonstrate this.
Thank you so much for reading . Go check out the GHD website and see what they have to offer.
Love,
Lauren
Disclaimer: The GHD flat iron pictured above was sent from PR for Consideration. I am not being paid for this video. These are all my honest thoughts and opinions about the products as always. I had an older GHD flat iron for the past 3 years that I use a few times a week.
