I am now a LipSense distributor. If you already love LipSense and need more than I'm your gal. If you have never heard of LipSense then where have you been living because you need to try it?! LipSense is a long lasting lip color that lasts anywhere from 4-18 hours. It is waterproof and does not transfer when eating or smooching. Plus it doesn't dry out your lips.
If you have never tried LipSense it is recommended to first get a starter kit including the color of your choice, gloss, and a remover.
And yes you need to use LipSense gloss because unlike other lip glosses, it will not break down the LipSense color. Plus it helps to keep your lips hydrated and improves your lips health overtime with daily use.
Here are just a few of the LipSense colors to choose from. Use LipSense alone, layer it, or mix it with another LipSense color for tons of different color combinations. You can get as creative as you want!
If you see a product not listed above that you want reach out to me for availability and pricing.

OMG... It Cosmetics Friends and Family discount is here! Can I get a WOOT WOOT? It Cosmetics is one of my favorite brands of makeup because the products are high quality and easy to use while offering anti aging benefits. Lets face it, we all want to enhance our appearance and a product that does just that while making my skin look better with continued use is a winner. Since the Friends and Family discount is here I wanted to share the It Cosmetics products that I can't live without starting with:
Bye bye eyelash curler. This mascara lengthens, thickens, and curls. And the curl holds all day without flaking off or smudging. Plus it contains collagen, biotin and peptides to condition your lashes. If you try nothing else from It Cosmetics, try Superhero mascara!
This is essentially a long lasting lip stain and hydrating lip balm in one. Hydrated lips = fuller, youthful lips I've been wearing the shade Je Ne Sais Quoi for years. It is the most perfect natural pink. I hope I get one of these in my stocking this Christmas... hint, hint.
The It Cosmetics website says it best: Brow Power™ features an exclusive oval tip that works on both thin and thick brows to mimic the look of real hair. Some makeup is obvious. This eyebrow pencil, however, is extremely natural. It gives me the illusion of the brows that I should have been born with and frankly without Brow Power I look unfinished. Plus if you are a blonde this is the perfect shade for you (Universal Taupe). I've tried a few different eyebrow products from It Cosmetics and I always go back to Brow Power.
If I could only have one makeup brush from any brand this would be it. I use it for everything from applying (Celebration) foundation, concealer, and blush to contouring. I always have this in my makeup bag because you never know where the day will take you.
This is my go to foundation during warmer months. It literally gives you a flawless, matte face in a few seconds and lasts all day. I also use it to powder my nose if I'm looking a little too dewy. I recommend applying it with the Heavenly Luxe Complexion brush for the most flawless application. While I love this foundation for the majority of the year, I transition to CC cream during winter months when my skin goes cray. Which brings us to my last must have...
The name says it all. This provides full, yet natural looking coverage while soaking your skin with anti aging benefits. When my skin is feeling dehydrated, like now, I turn to this product for added hydration and radiant finish that lasts all day. I put this on and those fine lines are blurred. Plus it protects my skin from the sun with SPF 50. However, I can't wear this in the summer without a setting powder since I get a little too shiny in the T zone when its warm. And if you are the type that likes a matte finish then you would need to set this with a setting powder.

According to Sephora.com this is "a portable cream stick highlighter in a first-ever universal shade for instant dewy payoff." Let's be real. There is no way that this shade flatters all skin tones. I'm on the lighter side and this is far too white even for my skin tone. This illuminator feels slightly greasy on my face and does not blend well with my CC cream and concealer. But there is hope. I think this product looks amazing when applied to the decolletage and arms. Nothing like looking lit from within from head to toe because let's face it, I like shinny things. Sue me. I also like that this product is travel size friendly and will not break if you drop it. I do wonder if it will melt in hot weather? To be determined.
I love, love LOVE Becca Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal. It has a golden-rosey undertone and blends so well with my skin tone. I apply it on my cheekbones and over my blush, as eyeshadow, and on my cupids bow and lips to make them look extra luscious. It is my absolute favorite product for making my skin look gorgeous. I highly, highly recommend it.
Part of me doesn't even know how to start this post so I'll start where it is easy. I love my YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer and Blur Perfector. I can't speak highly enough of them. I know they are a splurge, but I feel they are entirely worth the splurge, but then again I received these in an Influenster VoxBox. Regardless I'm still singing their praises. These products keep your makeup looking set whether you worked all day, played in the sun, or just had a moment. That's what happened to me this morning. I've been thinking a lot about my best friend who passed last year. He died and I kind of just ignored it. The reality is I felt like I wasn't allowed to grieve and I also felt like no one cared that he was gone and I was hurting. The hardest part of it all for me is that his passing happened right before Christmas and my parents were flying in to visit in a few days so I didn't go back home for his funeral. In fact I haven't gone home since. I never said goodbye. I was mad at him before he passed. That's a lot to carry. And I carry...
I've been thinking about him so much lately. I know he is at peace with me, but I don't feel at peace with myself. This morning on the way to work I spoke to him like I often do and I asked for him to give me a sign. This song came on:
At first I thought, "thank you," but of course the skeptic in me said no. So I changed the song. Then the beginning of the song Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo came on and I hear "Jason" in an Asian accent and I lost it. I was filled with a lot of emotions: sad, happy, heartbroken, empty... But this wasn't coincidence. He heard me and he was there when I needed him. But I don't want to talk more about it because I'm still sad and I miss his human form, but I'm glad he is here with me in spirit.
At least my makeup looks good so I can put on a brave face and continue to act like all is well. And all will be well I just need a little more time.
I always say fake it till you make it. Touche Eclat Blur Primer creates the best canvas for your makeup. It goes on light, dries in seconds, and has little flecks of gold. I love gold.
Don't worry the gold flecks don't look like you washed your face in glitter, but personally I'm down with that.
The real showstopper of this set is the Touche Eclat Blur Perfector. I've never had a product that set my makeup so well. I've tried sprays and powders, but this is in a league of its own. Plus it comes in a universal neutral color that feels like a cream and set like a gel powder. The result is literally baby soft skin.
And guess what? No one knew anything was wrong, but those who saw me crying. That's how amazing this stuff is. Justine tested, Justine approved.
Thank you Influenster for giving me the chance to try these beyond amazing product.
Airbrush Legs is my secret to (almost) flawless legs. After all, I'm not Barbie. I've tried both products, and while I end up applying both like a lotion, I think I'm still a fan of the spray as it seems to have a lighter consistency, which in hot, humid, summer months is a necessity. Personally I don't want to leave tan marks wherever I sit, but that's just me. Which do you prefer?
Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is!? Not hump day. Even better. It's that time of year where It Cosmetics decides to bless us with their Friends & Family Event. It Cosmetics is probably my overall favorite beauty brand. Almost every product I buy I like and they continue to improve upon their products. Their mascaras and eyebrow products get better with each new launch. It Cosmetics is truly innovative and high tech makeup.
The first two rows are my tried and true every day products in the colors I wear (if applicable). The last row features products I'm purchasing with 25% sale event.
Before I even knew of the Friends & Family Event I posted a selfie on Instagram giving some love to It Cosmetics. Random? I think not. My everyday work look takes less than 5 minutes and all makeup products I'm wearing in the picture below are from It Cosmetics as featured above.
But for those of you who haven't met, let me introduce you to Ipsy. Ipsy is a great website that brings you a vast assortment of high quality cosmetics to sample each month. After taking a quiz to personalize products to your preferences, hair type, skin type, likes, and dislikes you get a cute makeup bag filled with 5 products each month. The products are chosen for you and many of the items you receive are full size. To top that off, the cost for this service is $10 including shipping. (It's a splurge that I am willing to indulge in since I don't buy Starbucks everyday like some of my friends. If you do the math, that is way more expensive. End rant.) Ipsy offers discounts for most of the monthly glam bag items if you want to buy full size products through the manufactures website. In addition, Ipsy also offers special beauty deals for members only on products from brands like Cargo to It Cosmetics. And you can cancel at any time, but why would you want to?
The Luxie brush retails for $16! That was a steal.
Ipsy is a great deal, fun, and an affordable way to be exposed to new products that you might end up falling in love with. Give it a try and sign up here. You won't regret it. You'll just regret not signing up.
