My Beauty Collection -I Love Organization!

Hey Guys!

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??

Love,

Aren’t Birthdays Fun?!

Hey Guys!

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!

Hope you’re all having a great Monday!

Love,

Lauren

 

 

Valentines Day Date Look -Day & Night

Hey Guys,

I don’t have much “video-making” experience, but I am learning. I wanted to do a voice-over demonstration of some day to night makeup. :) This was mostly a test, but I figured I’d post it for you guys! I made a video demonstrating a day to night makeup look for Valentines day.

I WILL get better with my filming, and can’t wait to do more makeup demonstrations for you!!

I featured the Anastasia Beverly Hills Bold and Beautiful Kit as well as the new Drew Barrymore lipsticks from her new line “flower” and two glosses from the Kardashian Khroma Beauty line.

I hope you enjoy this!

 

Love, Lauren

 

My Makeup Set Bag and Behind the Scenes at Photoshoots

Hey Guys!

My little brother got me a “set-bag” for Christmas and I’ve been using it on almost every job. I feel like it’s mostly for hair stuff and since I do mostly makeup and only light hair, I’ve been using it for my Airbrush machine and throwing paper towels, foundation, a water bottle etc in the side. This is what it looks like:

However, when I do bring hair products it’s PERFECT because I can put hair brushes, hairspray, pomade, all sorts of things in the sides. I’ve also been using this bag to stick false lashes in too.

If you are wondering where you can find this bag , you can actually get it on Amazon at this link here.  It’s not very expensive and it really comes in handy.

I also wanted to share some other behind the scenes pictures of some of my makeup set-ups. :) Sometimes you gotta make due with the space that you have.

Gift of Luxury, and Long Lashes…Lash Extensions!

Hey Guys,

Ok, you didn’t think I could blog every day in December and not do ONE post about Lash Extensions as a gift , did you!??

Lash Extensions are luxurious, popular, and save you time! They are amazing for the woman who always curls her lashes and spends time putting on several coats of mascara, or the woman who is busy and wants to wake up and go, or for the woman who always wished for longer lashes, but latisse and other products didn’t work. They are also GREAT if you want INSTANT BEAUTIFUL, LONG DARK LASHES without mascara, curling, or daily lash growth product for everyday wear or a special occasion.

Not only are they amazing, and people get dramatic results, but I can come to you in the comfort of your home.

Here are some recent dramatic before and after photos:

If you have ANY questions about lash extensions, or want to find out more and if they fit your lifestyle, feel free to email me .

Love,

Lauren
