I always hate taking my makeup off at the end of the night. It seems like most of the makeup removing wipes and creams only take off so much product. I usually have to scrub my face with cleanser to get the rest of the makeup completely off. And what's worse- when you run out of makeup remover! So when I discovered The Makeup Mitty , I knew I had to try it!  It's an invention by #girlboss Amanda McIntosh, the woman behind the Take My Face Off beauty brand. Her signature product, The Makeup Mitty, is a reusable makeup remover mitt. It's made from Korean polyester, so it's super soft on your skin. It's also machine washable, so you don't waste money having to buy makeup remover all the time. Just drop some Take My Face Off Organic Apricot Kernel Oil, or the makeup remover of your choice, on The Makeup Mitty and masage away your makeup. AFTER BEFORE   Here's a side by side comparison of The Makeup Mitty before and after removin...

Hi fashionistas! I hope your week has been enjoyable so far. I want to share a fun -and super easy- fall eye makeup look with you. I call this a "fall flavored smoky eye," because the colors are reminiscent of fall. Below is a step by step photo tutorial from The Beauty Department. They call this look "fall's copper smoke." Visit this link for a more detailed "how to," including products used. Enjoy! Here is my version, using gold and pinkish red (perfect for fall) colored eye shadow. What do you think of this makeup look for fall? Would you try it?

I asked Nashville makeup artist Amy Lynn Larwig to share a quick makeup tutorial with my readers. Check out her 10 second bronzer tutorial- so quick and easy! Here's How to Do It/What You'll Need: Look for a matte bronzer for a sun kissed glow. (Shimmery ones can look sweaty the minute you step outside, so stick to matte.) I love tarte Amazonian clay matte bronzer.   Use a big fluffy brush to dust the bronzer everywhere the sun hits your face: tops of cheeks, top of hairline, lightly down your nose and tip of chin.

I was recently on the hunt for some new blush, and I was hoping to find a really great one. Since I had been using the same one for so long, I had no idea what brand to try. So I went to the store and looked for what seemed to be the best bang for my buck. After what seemed like hours of picking over tons of different blushes, I finally stopped when I saw the $2 price tag on a blush from e.l.f. Usually when I find beauty products that are very inexpensive, I am skeptical and worry that their quality will give reason to their price. But let me tell you, this two buck chuck Essential Blush from e.l.f. is the best $2 I have ever spent on makeup! Seriously, this blush is amazing. It is really lightweight, so you totally forget you are wearing it. It goes on smooth and is shimmery but not too shimmery. And it stays on all day! I am so impressed with this blush that I will be stocking up when my current case runs out! I sure hope this product sticks around for a long, long time.
