Friday Beauty Favorites

January 20, 2017

I have purchased and reviewed so many new products in the past several months that I forget to take the time to do a beauty favorites post for you here on my blog.  This week I’ve decided that it’s time that you know what’s at the top of my list right now.  This list includes a few newer products and some of my really old tried and true favorites.

You must  have heard of Baby Foot by now…  This foot peel is great!  The best time to use it is in the winter when you’re not wearing open shoes and have time for peeling.  All of the nasty dead skin will peel off of your feet to reveal the pretty soft skin hiding underneath.  I’m also a super long time fan of the Callus Reducer tool and Sole Food cream for the softest feet ever.  The combination of these two products is something I haven’t been without for about 20 years and counting.  That’s the truth.  My mom told me about these way back when and I actually listened to her on this!

I joined the Le Metier De Beaute VIP subscription box program this year.  Their monthly boxes started arriving back in August.  Each month I’m impressed with what I receive.  A few months ago I received the After Glow Foundation (I’m a shade 5).  This foundation gives a pretty full coverage and is lightweight on the skin.  It’s infused with hyaluronic acid, so it helps to hydrate my middle-aged skin.  It’s a pricey one, but worth it in my opinion.

Kat Von D Makeup Brushes – I have several makeup brushes from the line and I’m telling you, they are so nice.  You can feel the quality of them in your hands.   I love the edge concealer brush and setting powder brush the best.  I actually received these two in an Influenster Box.  The concealer brush applies my concealer under my eyes and over my age spots perfectly.  I then set with the fluffy powder brush and finishing powder.  Perfection!

The Liptensity formula of lipsticks from MAC is one of my favorites lately.  The Driftwood color is one that I find myself grabbing for almost daily.  It’s a gorgeous soft lilac beige.  I think everyone will love the shade too.


There’s a reason the Copper Face Palette from the MAC Nutcracker holiday collection sold out so fast.  The blush color is a peachy brown, like a terracotta.  It is stunning!  I thought it would be too dark for me, but boy was I wrong.  Combined with a dusting of the light gold highlighter, it’s simply gorgeous!  It gives a deeper glow to my face.  As options, you could try Show Gold Extra Dimension Skinfinish and the Coppertone Powder Blush.

Lastly, I thought I’d mention my favorite tv show right now and for the past year (at least).  I love the show and the blog for Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines from Waco, Texas.  My goal is to meet them some day (they’re just an hour and half away from me).  They have the best style in home decor.  I adore every single thing that they’ve done for the homes on their show.  As you know, I’m currently building a custom home and they influenced some of my choices.  I feel like I could invite them over and they’d feel right at home with my design choices.  If only I could get Joanna to come give me decorating advice when I move in…  Actually, I’m too far out of her traveling for work distance, but I can keep wishing.

    I love favorites posts. I always learn a lot. Like I never heard of the Liptensity line from MAC and they sound perfect for me. Will you do a post on the Le Metier de Beaute box sometime? Anastasia used to do them, and I always loved seeing what was in the box.

      Yes, I think you should at least get a sampling of the foundation and then go play with the brushes at Sephora or somewhere close to you now. Stacie xo

    That foot peel is the best! Right now my favorites are all skincare things, First Beauty moisturizer and this new castor oil from Haiti that I use for my brows and lashes.

Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Somehow I think it felt a little extra special this year.♥️

This was year number 46 for my husband’s annual family reunion and golf tournament in Michigan. We’re already looking forward to next year.🥰
If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few d If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few days, I’m in Michigan for our annual family reunion. And I must say, the weather here has been in the 70’s during the day which makes me not miss the heat wave back at home in Texas one bit.

Running quick errands on a hot day calls for a loose fitting dress and comfortable sneakers.

Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already reaching for rich fall colors. 🍂

#ad One of my favorite ways to transition into fall is by layering lightweight pieces from @soft_surroundings that keep me comfortable on warm afternoons but are also perfect for when the temperatures start to cool down. It’s an easy way to ease into the next season.

These warm, earthy colors feel so timeless, and each piece can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe favorites.

Do you have a favorite fashion season?

I love finding pieces that look polished, feel com I love finding pieces that look polished, feel comfortable, and don’t cost a fortune—and this affordable chambray midi dress checks every box.

It’s lightweight, flattering, easy to dress up or down, and perfect for everything from brunch to vacation to running errands. I truly think this is one of those wardrobe staples that works for women of all ages. Just switch up your shoes and accessories to make it your own!

And speaking of accessories, how fantastic are these jewelry pieces?! They’re from Noonday Collection, a fair-trade lifestyle brand that partners with artisans in vulnerable communities to create handcrafted jewelry and accessories. By providing these makers with dignified work, the company aims to alleviate global poverty and empower women.♥️

The beautiful bag is borrowed from Vivrelle. I have a discount code if you want it. And the shoes are possibly the comfiest ones I own.

Comment for the LINKS.💗

I started with an eyeshadow palette that has a variety of textures and shades in the rose family to create a million different looks. And yes, you can wear shimmers and whatever else makes you feel confident even if you’re a more mature woman.😎

You can’t go wrong any of the makeup brushes from BK Beauty to apply and blend your makeup. This eyeshadow brush is one of many that I love.

The foundation stick is new for me and I’m wondering where it’s been my whole life! It’s that good. Just swipe, blend and go. Available in so many shades that there’s one for everyone!🙌🏻

Adding depth and glow to the face couldn’t be easier with a multitasking palette of bronzer, highlighter and blush. It’s perfect for travel too.✨

The lip glow is fun because it’s a pH reactive one so it’s almost like having a custom shade that’s just for you.
