Christine — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 11:09:58 +0000

I’ve already mentioned my obsession with ULTA Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty, so it probably isn’t a surprise that I like to look ahead and plan which days are the ones I really can not miss! I actually put them on my calendar so I won’t forget. And today is one of those days. Above you can see the 5 deals I’ll be taking advantage of today. Some of the deals are changing daily and some change weekly. Today is the first day of week 3, which means today is the best chance of getting the weekly deals, before they sell out!

Levelling Up My Cream Makeup with Sephora

Christine — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 13:03:15 +0000

It’s been a while since I’ve been adding more cream makeup into my routine. And by a while, I mean along the lines of 3 or 4 years. “They” say it’s better after you turn 40 to use more creams than powders, due to less settling into any fine lines and creasing. (Disclosure, I’m 47 now. I started blogging when I was 29.) And while that is true, there’s a sharp learning curve. I’m sure we’ve all seen the reels and stories of women dotting various kinds of makeup all over their face, which then looks amazing when quickly blended. I wish cream makeup was truly that easy! I’ve found that there really are some adjustments that need to be made for cream makeup. It isn’t something that should be slapped on quickly, or even really applied directly onto the face. When I do either of those things, the result is makeup that looks heavy on my skin, streaks when blended, or creases by mid-afternoon. Today I’m sharing my biggest tips for cream makeup application that looks light and pretty and lasts all day! This is the makeup I wear to work, and it needs to last all day without…

The Ultimate Preteen Easter Basket

Christine — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 19:52:24 +0000

I know I’m not the only mom out there trying to figure out what to give my kids for Easter! I swear it comes up earlier every year. Ok, maybe it doesn’t, but I am so busy it always feels like it is suddenly here and I have nothing planned! I’m trying to start a little earlier this year, which means I’ve already purchased everything. It’s all from Amazon, and arrived in 1-2 days after ordering. The preteen/young teen age group (like both of my girls) can be a little hard to shop for. They want to be a grown up and a kid at the same time, and sometimes straddling the line between those 2 things can be difficult. I’ve been doing a pretty good job according to my girls! Below, I’m sharing the items I bought for both of my girls. Sol de Janeiro Jet Set It’s probably not a surprise to see Sol de Janeiro on this list! My daughters and all of their friends are huge fans of the line, carefully tracking each release! We have a few of these travel sets, and they are always a huge hit! My girls take the products with them…

Christine — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 13:19:46 +0000

One of my favorite beauty events is here! ULTA Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty has long been a favorite of mine, and I swear they somehow make it bigger and better each time. This event is so amazing because of the amazing products included in the deals! 21 Days of Beauty goes on for a long time, but each day there are new huge deals, on cult favorite beauty products. There are also deals that last longer (the Blonzers I’m featuring today are 50% off for the entire week), but you do need to act fast because things will sell out! My current favorite blush and bronzer are included in the ULTA Beauty 21 Days of Beauty this week! I swear that the deals and products included in this event somehow get better every year, and this is the best yet! There are both weekly deals and daily deals, so you do need to check back to make sure you’re not missing out. Products will sell out, so you need to act fast! One of my favorite recent finds is the bareMinerals GEN NUDE BLONZER Blush + Bronzer! This is 50% off for the entire first week of 21 Days…
