Hello, lovelies! There is a new post up on the blo Hello, lovelies! There is a new post up on the blog - I am sharing my thoughts on #cleanbeauty brand @moorspanatural and let me just say that if you have had issues with #maskne, you'll want to learn about this brand! 🤗🥰🌿

December has always been a busy as well as a stres December has always been a busy as well as a stressful month for singers. Before COVID, we'd be getting ready for Winter or Christmas recitals, Christmas Eve musical programs at church, or some other holiday performance. It could get very hectic and of course, any stress inside causes our skin to get wonky! Now that everything is done online, there are new stresses with performing and skin can still pay the price. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the things that I have been doing to keep my skin calm is incorporating a gentle exfoliant and masks to distress and hydrate my skin. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The "Pure & Proven" trio from @annmarieskincare is one of my favorite kits to give my skin a camera ready "glow". 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can still get this amazing kit for $19.99 + FREE shipping (US and Canada) until Dec. 31. Even if you are not a performer, this would make a great stocking stuffer or a special treat for yourself!

Starting Monday, 11/23 you can save 20% off all products at @bellaauraskin! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not sure which products to get? If you want to splurge (whether for a gift or for yourself), I recommend all! But if you are on a budget or just want a more minimal regimen, I would recommend the "Gentle Purifying Cleanser", "Rapid Repair Clarifying Elixir" and the "Daily Repair Moisturizer" - all 3 are multi-tasking and provide everything you need for healthy, beautiful skin. These 3 have been my go-to's of late (sometimes adding in "Hydra Revive" for extra moisture if needed) and my skin is loving this simple, but effective routine.

Hey, loves! A new post is up on the TBE blog (link Hey, loves! A new post is up on the TBE blog (link in bio). Today, I am sharing some of my top #cleanbeauty picks for on-camera performing. One of my music classes recently covered this and it inspired me to write a post sharing some cleaner options for the same effect. Even if you're not a performer, these are still some great products for those who love a more matte look or just want to check out some brands they may not have thought to before. 🥰🌱

It's been a while since I've shared a product from It's been a while since I've shared a product from another one of my longtime faves, @annmarieskincare and boy is this one a treat! 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their new eye serum is probably one of the best I have ever tried. It's formulated with pineapple ceramides and peptides from sake to hydrate skin and soften the appearance of deep lines, while lingonberry stem cells and helichrysum tighten and firm. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The scent like all of their products is lovely - this one is earthy with a hint of fruit, and the texture is silky and light. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried their new "Fruit Ceramide Eye Serum"? You can shop the link in my bio!

Even though I have pretty much been sticking with Even though I have pretty much been sticking with one or two of my HG brands, I still on occasion do try out a new product or two. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of those has been this moisturizer from @metapora.skincare, an Australian based skincare brand that produces small-batch, vegan, non-toxic products that are really quite lovely. 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was kindly gifted their "pro-aging" day cream, "Absolute You" which contains jojoba oil and shea butter to hydrate, coq10 to prevent free radical damage and apple derived malic acid to brighten to name just a few. All of the ingredients are clean, ethically sourced and nourishing for the skin. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The texture of this is very lightweight and silky and has a light citrusy scent. I've been keeping this on my desk while I'm working and using it on my hands and neck, and under eyes primarily, and I've really noticed a difference in how hydrated my skin has been. All in all, it's a very lovely product. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you guys tried anything from @metapora.skincare yet? #cleanbeauty #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #nontoxicbeauty #authenticbeauty #naturalbeauty #plantbasedbeauty #crueltyfreebeauty #saferbeauty #cleanbeautyrevolution #cleanbeautyblogger #crueltyfreeblogger #ecoblogger #lifestyleblogger #greenbeautyblogger #beautyblogger #musicblogger

Trying out a new, much more comfortable, and breathable 100% cotton mask from @swaddledesigns. Designed by an RN, this 3-layer mask has been lab-tested to provide superior protection droplet filtration with minimal leakage. Besides it providing great protection, it's also quite comfy with a bendable nose piece for a more snug fit and it's pink, so there's that too.

Age gracefully while keeping skin firm and nourish Age gracefully while keeping skin firm and nourished with this set by @bellaauraskin. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This has been one of my main skincare brands for several years and since turning 49 (I'll be 50 this February!), I've been relying on these 3 products to keep my skin looking youthful and healthy! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this set (which is only available until 9/7!) you get:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Gravity Reverse Body Contour Serum" - my current go to face and body firming serum! This contains Bulbine Frutescens which has been clinically proven to stimulate collagen synthesis and lift and improve the structure of sagging skin. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Hydra Revive Treatment" - a lightweight, intensely hydrating serum that keeps your skin soothed, moisturized, and glowing. I love to use this all over my face, under eyes and on lips, and anywhere my skin needs moisture. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Night Cellular Renewal" -  this has been one of my faves since I first started using the line. Made with jiaogulan, pink rock, L-glutamine, minerals, 24 antioxidants, 21 amino acids, 18 vitamins, and 12 brighteners this little powerhouse supercharges your skin as you sleep. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition to these 3 superhero products, you'll also get the amazing "Gravity Reverse Beauty Sculptor" for FREE. Make sure to use my code BRIE15 so you can save $$!!
