Top 5 Lip Faves

Every girl has her go-to products to achieve the desired look of soft, plump, pillow-like lips.

Here are my top five lip favorites that I use regularly and highly recommend.

1.) e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator - I exfoliate my lips every seven to ten days just to slough off any dry skin. This exfoliator comes like a lipstick so it's not messy and works wonders! Check it out here!

2.) EOS Visibly Soft Coconut Milk Lip Balm - I don't think I have to do much explaining here, who doesn't love EOS lip balm? It's goes on so smooth and comes in a cute ball shape. I own like 10 of these but this is my favorite flavor. Get it here!

  

3.) Burt's Bees Hibiscus Tinted Lip Balm - again, no explanation really needed. Burt's Bees is the bees knees.... BUT for a girl who loves a little color tinted lip balm is the answer. I love the Hibiscus tint, a perfect purple/pink. Take a look here!

4.) Vaseline Rosy Lips - this was an impulse buy a couple years ago at the check out and I fell in love. Vaseline provides excellent moisture so now with this pretty, light rosy color it's absolutely perfect for an understated look. Try it here!

Last but certainly not least;

5.) Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme - this makes the perfect pout without the needle. If you're like me you want the results without the pain and recovery time and this is just unbelievable. It tingles a little once applied but within a few minutes your lips are pouty and plump. Must buy HERE!

Agreeing to be the guinea pig for a friend learning a new trade is always.... gutsy. Luckily I have a very talented friend and I got eyebrow microblading done. It is the future of the brow game ladies, I tell you! Take a look at my before and after pictures above.

What is microblading you ask, well I'm here to explain. "Microblading is a semi-permenant makeup that provides a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments." (I googled that.)

Your esthetician should apply numbing cream to your brow first before blading starts... FYI it still hurt like a "mutha" because it is literally tiny slices/cuts being made to your face. I don't have a high pain tolerance but I survived and I do love the results!

Ask your esthetician or hairstylist if they offer this new trade, you will not be sorry!

Obsession: Subscription boxes

Hello, my name is Ashley and I am obsessed with subscription boxes. At the beginning of every month a few packages arrive and my S.O. laughingly asks "Another one?" My response is always the same, "It's only once a month!" FabFitFun, Birchbox, Ipsy, Dollar Shave Club, just to name a few. If it's a subscription that comes in box I've most likely signed up for it.

FabFitFun is an amazing quarterly box ($50 every three months) that gives you everything you'd need for the season - hair care, beauty products, work out gear, popsicle molds, microfiber beach towels, ETC.

Birchbox and Ipsy are perfect at $10/month for a girl who loves make up and is the adventurous type when it comes to trying new things. 

Dollar Shave Club ditches the expensive girly razors that media forces us to purchase for a crazy amount. Instead for a low monthly or bi-monthly cost you get 4 fresh blades that you can switch once a week - SO much better for your skin might I add.
