Getting ready for date night chaos!!! Hubs and I are sneaking out for some alone time and I shared my makeup and hair look in stories. Warning: It was a very spontaneous decision and therefore mildly chaotic. 😳 http://liketk.it/2JueD #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKbeauty #LTKstyletip Screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

Ok, where are my blonde girls that struggle with brassiness? I received this shampoo and mineral remover complimentary from @Amika and @colorwowhair, and I can’t believe the difference. I have well water and I am constantly trying to keep my blonde looking fresh and brass free. ✨ I sprayed the Mineral deposit remover onto my dry hair, made sure my hair was saturated and left it in for 3 minutes. ✨I then washed my hair with the Amika purple shampoo, available at @sephora. It was a lot less drying than some others and the smell was amazing. Honestly, I wouldn’t have believed the difference of I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.

I am sharing one of my all time favorite foundations in stories today and the best primers for pores and texture. I have been a long time fan of the Porefessional
by Benefit for smooth, poreless skin. It is also great for touch ups throughout the day.
I recently discovered the Elf poreless primer putty and I am loving it so far, great for texture also and only $8.00 http://liketk.it/2JfcY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKbeauty #LTKstyletip Screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

I recently ran out of my moisturizer, so I was thrilled when @freshbeauty gifted me this set. I had heard so many good things about their Youth Preserve Skincare line and was dying to try it for so long, it was like kismet. I have been using them for about a week now and these products did not disappoint. Although I liked all 3, I was most impressed with the Lotus Yourh Preserve Dream Face Cream and had the best results from that, so I will chat about that one first. ✨ The night cream is very lightweight, yet surprisingly rich and hydrating. It helps repair the skin barrier, which is always something I am looking for with my dry & sensitive skin. It also helps fight dullness and dehydration and my skin looks like glass when I wake up. It is smooth, even and hydrated.
✨ The day cream is perfect under makeup. It soaks right in and leaves my skin plump and hydrated. ✨The eye cream is also very hydrating and helps with dryness and fine lines. It is a great all around eye cream for day and night. I am so glad I was able to give them a try. #freshlotus #freshbeauty http://liketk.it/2JdGH #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKbeauty Screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

I linked all of my bed details for you guys. Apparently, it is a good time to buy bedding because my down comforter is 20% off and my beloved flannel duvet cover is 25% off, making it a steal of a deal! http://liketk.it/2IZ5K #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome #LTKsalealert @liketoknow.it.home Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app
