 Hi Bellas,

It's that time of year again—Sephora's VIB Sale is here, and it's the perfect opportunity to snag those must-have beauty products at a discount. Whether you're restocking essentials or treating yourself to something new, I've got you covered with my top recommendations. Plus, I'm available for shopping sessions and lessons through the end of the sale on 11/11/24, so let's make the most of it!

Skincare Staples You'll Love

Investing in skincare is always a good idea, especially when you can get it at a discount. Look for products that address your specific skin concerns, whether it's hydration, anti-aging, or brightening. Some of my all-time favorites include an exfoliating toner - the Paula's Choice Exfoliate, a nourishing face oil which is a great mixer for your makeup - Sunday Riley CEO Glow (they also have an awesome skincare set with all the essentials) and you can't go wrong with luxe lip moisturizers - I love the Laneige Lip Balms (and they have a limited edition trio set for the holidays). These staples will keep your skin glowing and healthy year-round.

Brushes: The Tools You Always Need

Quality brushes can make all the difference in your makeup application. If your brushes are looking a little worn out, the VIB Sale is the perfect time to upgrade. Look for a versatile set (Sephora Total Brush Set) that includes options for foundation, eyeshadow, and blush. Trust me, having the right tools can elevate your makeup game to a whole new level. Bonus - Sephora's Professional Brushes are currently on sale for 30% along with the entire Sephora branded line (use coupon code Savings at checkout). These are the brushes I always recommend to my clients. And don't forget to pick up your brush cleaner spray!

Holiday Sets: The Perfect Gift (for Yourself or Others)

Holiday sets are one of the best parts of the VIB Sale this time of year. Not only do they offer great value, but they also make perfect gifts for friends, family, or even yourself. Check out the limited-edition sets featuring best-selling products or exclusive shades. From skincare to makeup, these sets are beautifully packaged and sure to delight anyone on your gift list. I've been eyeing the Makeup For Ever Mini Artist Color Pencil Lipliner & Eyeliner Kit - it's such a great way to try their viral lip liners and if you know me, you know I think brown contouring shade lip pencils are a must have in every makeup kit.

Make the Most of the Sale with Personal Shopping Sessions

With the sale running until November 11th, I've opened up my schedule for personal shopping sessions and makeup lessons. Whether you need help choosing the right products or want to learn new techniques, I'm here to assist you. Together, we'll find the best deals and ensure you get everything you need to look and feel fabulous this holiday season.

Don't miss out on these incredible deals—head to Sephora and start shopping now! And if you want personalized advice, feel free to reach out and book a session with me. Happy shopping, and may your beauty haul be as stunning as you are!

Hi Bellas,


As the holiday season approaches, we all start looking for the perfect gifts for our loved ones. If you have a makeup enthusiast in your life, you might find yourself overwhelmed by the countless beauty products available. Don't worry! We've got you covered with this holiday makeup guide. From must-have beauty tools to luxurious makeup sets, here's a list of gifts that will surely light up their eyes and beautify their holiday season.


We all know that Thanksgiving dinner is the time of year when family and friends gather around the table to share a meal and give thanks. But let's be honest, it's also a time to show off your carefully curated outfit - and that includes your makeup! So, what is the perfect makeup for Thanksgiving dinner?


The perfect makeup for Thanksgiving dinner is all about balance. You want to look polished and put together, but not like you're trying too hard.

Choose warm, cozy shades for the eyes. Tis the season for oranges, burgundies and golds. Keep it simple with one shade on your entire lid and detail out the eyes with liner and mascara.



Think healthy skin - if your skin color is getting a bit paler, add color back to your face with a bit of bronzer and blush. A good concealer goes a long way in making you look fresh and awake no matter how much sleep you got. We love blush/bronzer duos like this one from NARS.


As for the lips, think about what will last through food and drink. A my lips but better shade will fade naturally into your own lip color. If you're feeling festive, you can go for a beautiful burgundy or wine tone. The trick is to fill in your lips with a matching lip pencil so that even as your lipstick fades, you'll still have a stain from the dryer lip pencil underneath.


Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to break out your best makeup and show off your personal style. But with all of the food choices available, it can be tricky to know what makeup will stay put through the entire meal. By following these simple tips, you'll be sure to look fabulous from start to finish - no matter what ends up on your plate!

Hi Bellas,

I've been making an effort to put on more makeup lately.  Tis the season to be festive and plus I'm making it a goal to incorporate more makeup posts in addition to all of my new mommy material.  I wore this look to go see Santa this past weekend.  It's a subtle take on the bright Christmas green and red...instead it's more khaki and plum.  Check it out!




Hi Bellas,

I recently wore a pretty family gathering appropriate makeup for Thanksgiving that I wanted to share with you all.  It'll be great for all the cozy holiday get togethers coming up this month.  I don't know about you, but when I get together with the fam, I like to keep it cute but subtle, they're not ready for the YouTube version of me lol.  Check it out!



Hi Bellas,

So I gave myself a challenge, see if I can do a complete makeup tutorial while keeping my sleeping baby calm in a baby carrier.  I can't believe it but it worked!  In this chatty get ready with me, I do my first holiday look of the year, show you guys some new products and tell you my honest thoughts about them and of course I show off little Miss Arabella.  Check it out!



Hi Bellas,

Now that Halloween month is over, it's back to regular makeup and then before you know it, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  In the meantime, I've been testing out a lot of new products.  It's hard getting a full face of makeup on with a newborn but when I do, I take pictures lol!  Here I am rocking the new Urban Decay Elements palette.  Check it out!


Hi Bellas,

I definitely wanted to squeeze in a glittery makeup tutorial for New Years Eve.  My bestie Imani agreed to be my model for this tutorial and she is absolutely gorgeous.  I filmed this at Industry Makeup Academy.  We're gearing up for the return of the Pro Certification courses in 2017 at IMA so I wanted to film this tutorial to kick start the New Year filled with amazing education and classes.  Check it out!
