Knowing how to create easy makeup looks will help you look and feel your best in a pinch, leaving you ready for anything.

Take a look at these simple but effective beauty looks to give you some ideas for makeup you can do in a flash.

Go for a bold lip

A bold lip is one of those beauty looks that is always going to be timeless and classic. With a bold lip, there’s no need for strong eyeshadow - a pop of color and you’re good to go. Red lips are the classic choice but you could also opt for a bold pink or gorgeous coral. Using a matte lipstick is the easy way to make the color last, and you should shop Dose of Colors for more liquid matte lipstick if your collection is lacking! Top up regularly throughout the day to keep your look pristine.

Glowing, natural skin is king

Glowing skin is always a great beauty look. You can get the look easily using minimal makeup, so long as you adopt a great skincare routine. Using hydrating products will help stop flaking and leave your skin with natural radiance. Follow this up with an illuminating product and lightweight foundation or BB cream to keep your look natural. A dash of highlighter on your cheekbones is all you need to complete your fresh-faced look!

Make the most of the color wash

While a blended, multi-toned eyeshadow look looks polished and professional, it’s not easy to do in a hurry! But luckily for you, the one-color eye look is in! Choose a bold color pop or a simple metallic to create a simple but striking look. A cream-based formula is easy to apply and can give you a much stronger pigment. After doing it once, you might never go back to your blending brush again!

Try bronzed skin for an easy win

Bronzed, golden skin is another simple way to do your makeup in a hurry - who doesn’t love that healthy sun-kissed glow? It helps if you can prep in advance with an overnight mask or similar product to add a bit of color, otherwise, you’ll just need to reach for the bronzer. Remember to contour your cheekbones and jawline for a sculpted look. A slick of mascara will be all you need to look like you’ve just come back from vacation.


Bringing simplicity to your makeup routine is a great way to save time in the mornings or get ready in a hurry. Keep some of your essentials to hand so that you can top up throughout the day and keep your look fresh. A setting spray is great for keeping your makeup in place, as well as adding some additional hydration throughout the day. What’s your go-to beauty look in a hurry?



Product Review: cbdMD

IMG_2468.jpg

As a new mom, for the third time, I’m trying to balance all the things. I was so excited to hear about the cbdMD partnering with Moms Meet. I’ve been wanting to try CBD oil for a while but I was nervous. I’m sure you had all of the same questions that I had. So I’m going to give you a quick breakdown and understanding in case you’re curious about trying these amazing products.

I was sent this welcome kit that included:

1.       CbdMD Natural

2.       CbdMD PM

3.       Bath bombs (relax, regroup, recharge)

4.       Sleep mask

What is CBD oil?

According to cmbMD; Cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD, is by far one of the most studied compounds of the 116-plus known cannabinoids found in industrial hemp.

Being a natural compound of the plant, it can comprise up to 40 percent of hemp. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating, which means it will not get you high.

How to use it?

It’s completely up to you how you choose to use your oil. It can be ingested, applied to skin or taken in capsule form. I took the oil orally by placing it underneath my tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing.

My Thoughts

In all honesty, I didn’t know what to expect. I heard a lot great things about CBD oil in general but I wasn’t sure what type of affect it would have on me personally. I tend to be an anxious person and I’ve been off my anxiety medication since my pregnancy. I’ve also stopped breastfeeding and have been deciding whether or not I should get back on it. The CBD oil is known to be an alternative so I was happy to try it. Within the first week I really didn’t notice a difference in the way I felt. By week 2, I did see that I was more relaxed and didn’t wake up the jitters. It also allowed me to cut back on my caffeine. Now, results will vary from person to person.

The PM version was amazing. I did receive the best results once I was relaxed for the night. After I put my children down for bed and I showered and took some within 30 minutes I was extremely relaxed and didn’t have a hard time going to sleep.

The bath bombs were so good! There is no other way to describe them. I’m not really a sit and soak person because, #momlife but this made me be intentional with enjoying a nice hot bath. There were oils inside and they made my skin very happy!

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the products I was sent. I will be purchasing a bottle of the PM and more bath bombs. Interesting in trying them out for yourself. Use the code MOMSMEET www.cbdmd.com to save 15% off, now through March 31, 2020

Mom Style with Pink Blush

IMG_2846.jpg

As a working mom of 3, LIFE keeps me busy and to be honest I don’t always have time to style myself. So I like finding pieces that can take me from day to night or work to chill! I am such a fan of this top from my friends over at PinkBlush! It’s perfect for fall/winter. Buffalo check is all the rage right now so this was a great piece to add to my collection.

I’m wearing a 1x, I love that the top is long enough to go over my hips, so it’s perfect to wear with leggings (#momwin) or you can add a pair of jeans. For comfort, I like to wear leggings. I can dress it up with a cute booite or dress it down by wearing my slip-ons for the ideal lounge outfit!

Pixi Beauty Makeup Box

IMG_2082.jpg

A few weeks ago, I received the surprise of a life time; a beauty box from Pixi! I haven’t used their products in years but really wanted to try something new. I’ve been on a “use what you have” kick lately so that I can see what really works for me.

This box was just what I needed. I’m a little sad I didn’t purchase anything before now because products are BOMB!!

IMG_1046.jpg

This is everything that came in the box – a great array of eye shadows, lip glosses and lip stains! I’m being ever so gentle as open each package because I want to savor each one.

So here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Glow-y Powder – Fetch

Eye Heart Palette

Endless Shade Stick

Lit Kit

Lip Icings

Lip Icing swatches: Parfait, Sorbet, Bonbon

Lip Icing swatches: Parfait, Sorbet, Bonbon

I am thoroughly impressed and every time I’ve worn something from this collection I’ve been complemented. I love the way my skin glows from the powder and it doesn’t overdo it. I still look like a millions bucks after working all day without reapplying! So in my book this is some good stuff! I can’t wait try out more of their products.

Be sure to check them available online or at your local Target.

My makeup lasted ALL Day!!
