Best of Fall 2020 Beauty Favorites featuring Skin Care + Life Update

Hello, everyone!  What a break it has been.  I am making a comeback, rejuvenated refreshed and ready to create content after becoming a licensed esthetician!  It has been a long journey and an evolution, to be a bit dramatic, but I'm proud to have made it back here here.  This post took me an entire week from start to finish as I'm rusty beyond belief.

It feels a bit unfamiliar since this is my first foray into blogging in over a year, and I'm learning everything all over again with a new camera among other aspects, so I decided to start with what is essentially a list of the products I've loved this year and am continuing to use into the Fall season.  

Grab that cup of coffee or tea and let's get started! 

It Cosmetics Vitality Face Disc Review, Photos, Swatches + Jumbo Powder Brush

It Cosmetics by Jamie Kern is a pretty spectacular brand. All the It products I've tried thus far have proved impressive, but the Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Cream and this Live, Love, Laugh Anti-Aging Vitality Face Disc are my favorites. This oversized saucer of a trio (highlighter, blush, and bronzer) is well worth the money, so check out the details after the jump!

August 2013 Favorites/Hits & Misses: Powders, Pencils, Color, Foundations, Hair

The end of August 2013 has been absolute madness! After Beautycon, I was simply exhausted and my quick trip to Vegas this week to see Boyz II Men only distracted me further from filming. I am back with an epically long Favorites episode, though, so I hope it was worth the wait. I will be working on a full video tutorial + review videos of Chanel and Tom Ford's Fall collections as well as Michelle Phan's new em cosmetics products. Please feel free to share any other video requests in the comments section below!

IT Cosmetics is one of my favorite new brands. Their innovate and effective — yet affordable — products are taking the blogosphere by storm, and the praise is well deserved.
