Cheeky Clean Cream Blush
I didn’t think that I’d be a fan of Beautycounter’s new Cheeky Clean Cream Blushes… but WOW they’ve exceeded my expectations! The Cheeky Clean Cream Blushes are versatile, multitasking, and mistake-proof. Use it on your cheeks and (bonus!) use it on your lips too! Go with a sheer flush or build to a bold pop of color, thanks to lush pigments and skin-loving ingredients like squalane. What does squalane do? It provides a silky, luxurious texture so color goes on dewy—not greasy—for supple-looking skin, and jojoba esters help moisturize, soothe, and soften. A few answers to some questions that I’m often asked about these cream blushes: IS CHEEKY CLEAN CREAM…

What Does a Nontoxic + High Performing Makeup Bag Look Like?
The fact that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40 years ago it was 1 in 20 is hard to take in. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and leukemia when I was younger and it has really made a long lasting impact on me. Not only do I want to make sure that I reduce my toxic load in all the ways I can, I strive to help others understand why it matters so much about the makeup products we use on our skin.

Say goodbye to Summer: how to transition your beauty products to Fall!
With the seasons changing, it’s time to break out the sweaters, boots, pumpkins.

I personally love taking a new season as inspiration to switch up what I am currently using for skincare and also play with makeup looks.
