Hola, my beauties!! Today, I wanted to come talk about something that I seem to have a large collection of: Makeup brushes!! Now , I know that the type of makeup you buy can make a difference in looking couture vs. a clown, but I believe that the tools you use to apply said makeup play an even bigger role than many want to give credit for. And, I know what you're thinking ---"I don't have $20 to drop on a beauty blender or $200 for the Artis brush set!!" Well, here's where I come in =) I've worn makeup for quite some time & have found some amazing yet affordable brush brands along the way! So, if you're interested in my picks, then keep on reading! 1) Elf If you really know me, you knew Elf was gonna be on this list! Though the prices are starting to go up on their items (and they still haven't quite mastered that darker skinned girls wear makeup too---that's another rant for another day), Elf is still probably the best OG drugstore brand...

Hola, beauties!! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! I know February isn't quite over yet, but I have compiled a good amount of favorites for this month (many I was also using back in January) and wanted to share them with you guys! So, if you're interested in learning all about my February favorites, then just keep reading! Beauty Carol's Daughter Marguerite's Magic (retail $12.99) This is actually my only hair favorite for the month, but for good reason!! It really does hydrate my hair and leave it feeling moisturized! I use it for refreshing my twistouts when they are starting to look lackluster , and this cream does a pretty good job at doing so! L'Oreal Hydra Genius Daily Moisturizer (retail $13.99)  I've actually been using this since January because I wanted to give this a fair chance, and I have to say that I really do enjoy this moisturizer! Honestly, I really only bought it for the packaging lol. It's SOOOOOO p...

Hey, all you beauties! Today is going to be another installment in my Beauty Supply 5 series! If you happened to have missed my first post about it , you can click right here to check it out! As you see by the title, this one is all about the brows! Now, this is something I actually do not have a lot of variety from because I do not deviate too much from my tried and true products. But, I still think that it can be extremely helpful to a lot of you guys. I mean, who wants to spend $20+ dollars on a brow gel, pencil or pomade ???? (No offense, Anastasia, lol) I certainly do not! So, if you guys are interested in some good quality , inexpensive brow products, then keep on reading! 1. Jordana FabuBrow pencil in Dark Brown (retail $2.99, 6 shades available) I think it's just the bomb! even though this pencil has to be sharpened, I don't find myself having to push really hard onto my brow to get the pigmentation to show up! It is a little stiff, so if you're not into really s...

Hello, beauties !! Welcome back! Today, we're talking about the makeup basket! There's so many beauty lovers that blog or vlog about their makeup baskets and it really inspires me to do one of my own!! Many usually do weekly or biweekly, but I chose to do monthly because it honestly takes me forever to switch out my stuff. Who knows, I may change my mind, but for now , monthly it is. Plus, I get a real feel for everything so I can truly figure out what I love and what I do not . I've also received a couple requests to start posting them on here on my Instagram----which if you don't follow me @bgfbeauty, you totally should! Now that I got my shameless plug out the way, if you're interested in my makeup basket for February, keep on reading! This is everything I plan on wearing for the month of February!! I noticed when I was getting everything together, I had chosen a lot of pinks, reds and berry tones (which are all often associated with Valentine's Day)...

Hola, beauties!! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! I know---I've been gone for quite some time, but I am back finally and plan on being more consistent with posting! So with all that being said, let's jump right into the post, which as you can tell by the title , is my monthly favorites for the month of January (more like October-January lol) ! This month surprisingly went by fairly slow , but still February is upon us! I've got to go back to some old faithfuls but still incorporate some new things in , as well. So let us get started, shall we? *Like usual, I'll be including all areas in my favorites--beauty, food, music, etc. Beauty Pur Cosmetics DreamWorks Trolls palette: This palette is the absolute business!!
