Having a good skincare routine is a key part of having healthy, glowing skin. Of course, eating the right foods and staying hydrated is the first step.  If you’ve never had a skincare routine before, it can be a little intimidating when you are starting out. There’s many skincare products out there, and you may not know what they do and if you need to use them or not.  I’ve put together this guide to show you the steps for…

Some days I really like to feel girly, and I’ll wear a pink lipstick shade. This new color of matte lipstick from 100% Pure is a really nice pink shade. It’s a dark, but bright color and stays on all day/night. I love this shade for going out and for work days when I feel like I need a nice pop of color. My Girly Look:   The lipstick I am wearing is the cocoa butter matte lipstick and the…

So, at this point it’s pretty clear that I have a lipstick obsession. Lipstick was the first makeup product that I switched to clean, because I had read about how harmful it was and it was fairly easy to find clean replacements. At first, I was using Burt’s Bee’s, which is fine, but once I found 100% Pure, I became absolutely OBSESSED! I love 100% Pure lipstick because it’s non-toxic, has vibrant colors, lasts all day and comes in matte.…

I’ll share my night routine first again, as this is the routine that I feel does most of the…

Most days I don’t put on a full face of makeup. Going to work or out with friends/family, I normally just wear eye makeup and lipstick. But for special occasions, I like to go the extra mile. I like wearing face makeup for special occasions to make my skin look nicer, give me confidence and feel glamorous. It’s important to me that the makeup I use has the safest ingredients possible, while still performing well and lasting through the day…

As you may know from reading my review of Beautycounter’s face makeup, when I first tried Beautycounter, I wasn’t so thrilled with how the makeup looked and stayed on my skin. That was 2 years ago and I’ve been wary of trying any of their other products since then, especially since I’ve been using other natural skincare products that I absolutely love. After seeing many more of my colleagues jumping on board with Beautycounter over the past 2 years, and…

This look is a neutral, pink/mauve shade. It’s not too dark, and creates a natural look. It’s one of the new fall releases from 100 Percent Pure.
