Good morning all! Meet Shannon! Not only does she maintain her YouTube channel and Instagram, but this favorite of mine also has her own blog! She does DIY projects, favorites, tutorials, reviews, lifestyle posts, demos,… you name it! You can tell her and her husband adore each other --their pictures are the cutest. I’ll get onto the questions and pictures but you can find all of her contact information and social media avenues below.
Favorite Starbucks beverage? I always get a Chai Latte with a pump of vanilla, it's the perfect combination of spicy and sweet!
Favorite drugstore cosmetic product (brands and items?) I love the Revlon Lip Butters, I can't get enough of them! The one I've been wearing a lot recently is Strawberry Shortcake, it's the perfect bright pink for summer!
Favorite high end cosmetics (brands and items?) Definitely Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening Powder. It is something that has been a staple in my makeup routine for the past 3 years. It is a very lightweight powder that I dust on top of my concealer to add brightness and luminosity, and it also helps my concealer last all day! I really could never go without it!
Favorite foundations? That's tough because I have so many that I love haha but the ones I repurchase the most are Revlon's PhotoReady in the fall/winter and Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in the spring/summer...however I just discovered Dr. Jart's Black Label Detox BB Cream which is one of my new favorites for summer months!
Favorite mascaras? My favorite drugstore mascara is L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black and my favorite high-end mascara is Chanel's Le Volume de Chanel...I just don't like the price! ;)
Favorite moisturizer? Right now I really like Derma-E's Soothing Oil-Free Moisturizer
Favorite eye cream? Dr. Dennis Gross Lift & Lighten eye cream is great!
Favorite face wash? Skinceuticals LHA Cleansing Gel really helped stop my breakouts, I can't go without it!
Favorite blushes? I love Cabana Boy from The Balm and also the Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Amused - I love any bright pink blush :)
Favorite lipstick, chapstick, gloss, etc? My all-time favorite lip product is Smith's Rosebud Salve, I use it every night before bed. It keeps my lips hydrated and soft, I love it!
Favorite powders? Definitely e.l.f's High Definition powder, I love loose powders and this one is lightweight and only $6!
Favorite primers? Right now I'm using Laura Geller's Spackle Primer (in bronze) which is great but my favorite is Laura Mercier's Mineral Primer, it leaves your skin super soft and never oily!
Favorite brush? I love my Sigma F80 Flat top kabuki brush - it's a must-have!
Favorite snacks/bars/protein powders/supplements? Well, I'm celiac and I also try to stay away from dairy so sometimes these are a challenge for me but my favorite snack bars right now are Lara bars and for supplements I love Vega One...the chocolate flavor tastes great in smoothies!
Favorite hair products? The new "vintage" Herbal Essences Smooth Collection is my favorite right now, I used to use it when I was young so it's fun to be able to use it again!
Favorite websites? Youtubers? Blogs, etc.? I love reading food blogs and finding new recipes, although I don't have a favorite food blogger because I normally find them through searching for gluten and dairy free recipes on Pineterest haha :) but there are so many great ones! But my favorite YouTuber is Melmphs, she is SO much fun!
Favorite books? Anything by Joyce Meyer
Career goals? To continue to grow and be inspired by the things I love doing :) I never want to get bored!
Top beauty tips? Have fun, experiment, & be creative! Everyone is different and there are no right or wrong's with makeup. Do what makes you feel confident, even if that means wearing no makeup at all! :)
