Learning to Thrive | Live the Life YOU Want!

I can’t lie - I 💯 painted my nails solely for I can’t lie - I 💯 painted my nails solely for this photo. The polish I’m wearing is one of the new @personacosmetics Paints in the shade Taupe. [One of my all-time fave nude polishes.]
 
But anywhoo just another shot featuring some of my RBK Super Shock Shadows when they were still in pristine condition. ✨ I really need to work on sharing more photos of less-than-pristine products. 🤡 
 
For all my content creator friends, how do you feel about sharing “less-than-perfect” photos of your products or food or whatever your niche is? 
 
I love seeing this type of content from others, but I never feel as confident sharing images of heavily-used products on my own page. As a result, sometimes it’s months before I share a photo of a collection.

It’s no secret that I love to try new beauty fin It’s no secret that I love to try new beauty finds from products to gadgets so I was super excited when #PMDBeautygiftedme their Personal Microderm Elite. 💞
 
As someone who owns not one, but two @pmdbeauty Clean Pro devices, I was extremely curious to try the brand’s at-home microdermabrasion tool. 
 
For those that may not be familiar, microdermabrasion treatments help to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin by essentially *sanding* the thicker, outer layer. Typically this type of treatment is done by a trained professional like a dermatologist, esthetician, or even a plastic surgeon.
 
Aside from having a positive experience with my Clean Pro devices, I’m always impressed at the level of detail PMD puts into educating customers about their devices prior to and after purchase. 🛍 Therefore, it goes without saying that I was impressed at the level of detail PMD provided to customers regarding safe use of the Microderm Elite. ✅ My kit came with detailed instructions and the brand has a detailed video online showing how to safely use the device. The booklet & video together helped me to safely use this tool on my skin.
 
TOP TIPS FOR SAFE USE:
✨ Test on your arm or leg before you try on your face
✨ Keep the device moving *always* - don’t hover on a spot
✨ Use only once per week
✨ Avoid other exfoliators 48-hrs post treatment
✨ Keep the device clean! 
 
Due to the nature of the device, there is a bit of a learning curve. Therefore, I’d say that experienced skincare junkies are most likely to enjoy this type of device - especially now that it is harder to get to a dermatologist’s office for this type of treatment. 
 
For me, it’s too early to see long-term benefits but I’ll be sure to update. Would y’all like to see a Reel or Story of me using the device?
 
Would you try this type of treatment? How do you feel about at-home skincare devices?

lol so *me being me* I can vividly remember placin lol so *me being me* I can vividly remember placing my first @rarebeauty order at like 2:00am on launch day. But have I shared a review anywhere? NO! 😂 
 
As a longtime Selena fan, I knew that I was going to try this line regardless of what was released. However, I was truly blown away by the scale of her brand launch. She came out of the gates with a full-blown line. 
 
From the chic, minimalist packaging, Glossier-price points, brand mission to support Mental Health initiatives and the incredible formulas I was hooked. ♥️ I definitely plan to pick up more from the line - especially the stay vulnerable collection. 😍 
 
Who was your favorite Disney Channel icon? I was clearly a Selena (and Demi fan), but Hilary Duff & Zendaya are faves too. 😂

I may not live in the Pacific Northwest, but New E I may not live in the Pacific Northwest, but New England has its moments. 😉 How could I pass up an opportunity to take a photo of the @colourpopcosmetics x RBK (@rawbeautykristi) At Forest Sight Palette in my nearby forest area? 
 
I’m sure most of you know, but the inspiration behind this Palette is the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Given Kristi’s love for her state, sustainability, and nature the theme is perfect. 🌲 🍄 And the packaging is definitely some of the prettiest ColourPop has done.
 
I’m a huge fan of the grungy rainbow color story of the palette. 🌈 Although I typically prefer more shimmers in a palette, I love the selection of rich mattes Kristi chose.
 
Also, I love that the super shock shadows in the collection pair perfectly with the palette to transform these mattes without overpowering the pigment underneath. 
 
Would you rather live in a city setting or the countryside?

What is sparkly and round, with a creme-to-powder What is sparkly and round, with a creme-to-powder finish? 🤔 
 
If you guessed that this was the texture of an untouched Super Shock Shadow then you are correct! ✅ Specifically, this is the shade Campfire from the RBK x ColourPop collection.
 
Of the 4 Super Shock Shadows in this collection, Campfire is *by far* the most pigmented shade. 🧡While the rest of the shades in the collection function more like transformative eyeshadow toppers, this shade really stands on its own. 
 
For best application, use your finger and press or swipe onto the lid to add a orange-toned, wet-looking shine to the lids. 
 
I’m not sure why, but during the big Beauty Guru boom using fingers to apply makeup became so taboo. 🤚🏻 How do you feel about using your fingers to apply makeup?

Anyone else remember the makeup era when it was al Anyone else remember the makeup era when it was all about full-beat, all the time? Or when our contours were channeling our inner Malificent or Morticia Addams? 
 
I’m glad that we’ve moved away from this intense structuring, but I still appreciate a natural contour for enhancing my round face. Especially now, where I’m wearing less makeup & a more skin-like base.
 
With this in mind, I really like the subtlety of the @alamarcosmetics Brighten & Bronze Complexion Trio. 🤎💛🤍 And we all know how I feel about a pan design. 😂 PS for anyone deeper than I am, Alamar makes two other trios - one for medium and one for deep complexions. 
 
Who is your favorite movie villain?

Happy Monday Y’all! 🌞 Unpopular opinion, but Happy Monday Y’all! 🌞 Unpopular opinion, but I actually love [most] Mondays. [The first Monday after a vacation or holiday can eff right off tho lol. 😂]
 
BUT back to why I love Mondays - I love the feeling of a fresh start. ♥️ Although we have the capacity to make a change at any point in time, Mondays provide an easy opportunity to start over or begin something new. Any baggage from the previous week can be left behind. 
 
If you’re curious about the makeup featured in today’s shot, these beautiful babies are the 4 Super Shock Shadows from the RBK x ColourPop Collection. ✨ Although this is a Limited Edition collection, ColourPop has continued to restock Kristi’s collab due to the intense demand. 
 
How do you feel about Monday?
