I am sharing one of my all time favorite foundatio

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

My second eyeshadow tutorial using the Tarte in bloom shadow palette is in my stories today. I am building on the beginner shadow tutorial I shared with you guys last week.

Can I just crawl back in here, please? 💤
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

I just hit publish in a monster blogpost all about skincare. I talk about my current morning and nighttime skincare routine, how to layer products and all of my current favorites. It is long, but very informative.

✨THE PERFECT BOOTIE ✨ I searched high and low

✨THE PERFECT BOOTIE ✨ I searched high and low for the perfect bootie and, after trying on about a million pairs, I found these. They are perfect with jeans, dresses, and leggings, and will be perfect for transitioning into Spring with white jeans and spring dresses. They are real suede and the price point is 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻.
My jeans are also a favorite. They smooth out all of my lumps and bumps with their built- in sculpt, and look much more high-end than their $25.00 price tag. I always get compliments and people can’t believe where they are from. http://liketk.it/2IVcl #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKspring #LTKshoecrush #LTKstyletip Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app

So many questions about my top and lipstick yesterday. The top is sold out, but I found a@really cute similar one that I linked for you. (On major sale). The lipstick is the perfect pink with just a subtle pop of color. It has become my go-to every day lip color. 💕 http://liketk.it/2ISTW #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKbeauty #LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert Screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app
