Fawn Beauty | Recovery & Glow Lip Oil Review

December 19, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I’ve wanted to try a lip oil for a while, but I didn’t want to spend $40 and the more affordable options didn’t have the best reviews. Then I remembered that I follow Fawn Beauty, owned by YouTuber Katie Fawn who has some gorgeous makeup tutorials and has all the deets on the best fragrances.

Recovery & Glow Lip Oil in “That’s Amazing”

Described as “a lip mask meets a lip oil” the recovery & glow lip oil from Fawn Beauty is vegan and features ingredients including camilla seed oil, kojoba oil, vitamin E, and coconut oil. I love that I can wear this alone or over the top of a lip color. The scent isn’t overpowering, and the lip oils do not feel sticky or greasy. The packaging is beautiful, I love how big the applicator is, and the way it wears is beautiful. I know it’s late for holiday shopping, but this is also a unique and special gift or add-on gift. I definitely want to get more colors now!

The Best Drugstore Concealer of 2022 | NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Serum Concealer

December 5, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

The NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Serum Concealer is the best concealer of 2022. I have been wearing only concealer with no foundation for years now, and I typically use a foundation for my undereye and a different concealer for any spots or discoloration I want to cover or correct. I found this concealer from my dear friend Sunny’s recommendation and she is an aesthetician who has helped me completely revamp my skincare. This foundation is THE REAL DEAL! It looks like skin and has a serum in it, which I usually roll my eyes at “skincare makeup” but this one is different.

Abercrombie Sweater Dress | Dressed Up and Down

November 7, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

First things first, I LAUNCHED A MI APPAREL BRAND WITH MY HUSBAND!! MI TRADING POST. Please give us a follow on INSTAGRAM and a “like” on FACEBOOK.

I’ve always loved the look of sweater dresses but didn’t feel like I would get much wear out of them because I lived in a very cold and snowy climate, and while I didn’t move *that* far we have had an unseasonably warm fall this year all-over Michigan and I love the sweater dress I bought so much that I need to share it with you.

Long-Sleeve Mockneck Mini Sweater Dress

I love this sweater dress because it can easily be dressed up or dressed down. I wore it belted with knee-high heeled boots to see Swan Lake and dressed down with loafers for an everyday look. I am so glad that the warmer fall prompted me to order this because now I am sure I’ll figure out ways to continue wearing it with tights as the weather cools down.

I purchased this in a size small and it has a relaxed fit. I did purchase a small tall one because at 5’7 I am right on the cusp of needing a tall, and for mini dresses, I prefer the bit of extra length.

Vegan Leather Leggings | $15 Walmart Find

October 17, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I found an incredible pair of vegan leather leggings from Walmart. These might be a Spanx Leather Leggings dupe and they come in both a brown leather legging and a black leather legging from the brand Time and Tru. Leather is very in for fall 2022. I’ve been a big fan of Time and Tru for years and can’t wait to share these with you today.

Time and Tru Women’s Faux Leather Leggings

I have never tried the Spanx Leather Leggings, and I am sure they don’t have the same compression but on looks alone, I think these are a great affordable dupe. These leggings are lined with a soft material so they don’t feel funny on the legs and they pull on easily, and I don’t think that they will make you sweat like some began leather options I have seen. I found these in store but they’re also available online. I am wearing my true size small.

Have you tried a vegan leather legging? Are you jumping on the leather trend for fall 2022?
