I am loving having short hair! I created a little tutorial to show you how I curl it to get beachy, natural-looking waves.

Let me start by saying, this is not a sponsored post or an ad. And I promise to only share with you the stuff that I love and actually use! And I really love me a black, pigmented smooth liquid eye liner. I have tried a ton.
Read moreOur Favorite Curling Wand
Between me, my four sisters, about ten nieces, and my three daughters, we have tried a LOT of different curling wands. It is so frustrating to put in the time to curl our hair and then have it last twenty minutes... we needed a serious solution.

Thick, Dark, Volumnizing Mascara (and it's under $10!!)
I am a big-time MAC lover. I love their pigments, shadows, foundation, primers, powders, blushes, brushes and lipsticks... pretty much everything. But I have yet to find a mascara (through them or any other brand I have tried) that is better than my favorite Maybelline kind. This one builds volume, adds length and is the perfect shade of black. (I always get Blackest Black or Very Black). I really love it! I know you will love it too!

My Favorite Lip Stain (and it's under $10!!)
I'm wearing my favorite red called "Kiss Me You Fool"
As a singer, I needed to find the perfect lip stain that would stay on after application, look rich and bold, and not transfer onto my mic. Have you ever seen singers with lipstick all over their faces from the mic rubbing it around? It is so awful and sad and I did NOT want this to happen to me.
I tried a few high-end brands and never really loved them. They mostly made my lips feel like I had a thick layer of glue on - and removing was like an intense lip exfoliation that I didn't want!
Well, I found this stain that is amazing and works so well! And guess what? It's under $10! It stays on all day! I can kiss my babies and their cute dad all I want and there is no trace of it! I just remove it with my regular make up remover wipes.

The Best Lash-Growth Serum for Length, Curl and Thickness
My eyelashes are not perfect but they are definitely longer, thicker and fuller than ever before. And yes, my eyes are two different colors, haha.
Pregnancy destroys my eyelashes for some reason. My hair grows longer but my eyelashes and fingernails seriously suffer. I have always had fairly long eye lashes but having my babies destroyed them. I really needed a solution!
I have always been a little nervous to try eyelash extensions. I didn't want them to damage my existing lashes. And I really didn't want to pay the initial cost and then keep paying to get them filled. And with three babies, I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time to do it. As an alternative, my sister told me about this serum and it works so well!
Why I love this serum:
I grow my own lashes instead of gluing false ones on that can cause stress and damage my existing lashes
It curls my lashes. Everyone I have talked that has used this product has had this same result.
I have visibly thicker lashes since using this serum.
My blonde-ish lashes even appear darker without any makeup on! Maybe it is because they are thicker so there is more of them there? I am not sure why, but I love the effect.
It takes about 4-6 weeks to see results so you need to be patient but the results will come. Everyone we have told about this stuff has seen significant growth and thickness in their lashes.
And if you're looking for a good mascara, this one is my favorite. And it's super inexpensive!
I took this while we were doing our reading time and my silly girl didn't want to open her eyes. I used the lash growth serum daily for about 5 months and now I use it about once a week. It is so easy to apply! You just line your eye lid with the applicator after taking off your makeup at night or in the mornings. (Just make sure it is dry before applying makeup).

The Best Self-Tanner
Some people are blessed with beautiful olive skin that can see the sun once and hold a beautiful glow all year. That is not one of my gifts... haha. My husband has skin like this and gave it to some of our children too. So needless to say, I love a good sunless tanner. After trying a lot of products, this is my go-to!
It doesn't have a strong smell and it is the perfect color - a golden bronze. No orange here. So if you were hoping to match our current president, you'll have to keep looking... haha.
You can buy it here.
There is a face-specific gel found here that I love too.
And don't forget your application mitt! This will be your best investment if you ever use a sunless tanner - even once! Trust me, I went far too long in my life without knowing this even existed! I swear, no matter how vigorously you wash your hands, somehow that pesky tanner still gets on your hands and wrists!
You can buy the mitt here.
