Freck BEAUTY

Let’s elevate our beauty routines in the new year! My focus for 2021 is stress a little less, focus on what makes me happy, and indulge (whatever meaning that takes on, we’ll see!). And, I'm getting starting with these beauty resolutions... 1. Make double cleansing more of a priority. 
 In 2020, I made a strong effort to ditch wipes. FOR GOOD! I fell in love with the Living Cleansing Balm from Then I Met You and it made double cleansing something I looked forward to. Excited to keep up the effort (it’s really balanced my oily skin) and find new products I love to cleanse with.  Anyone have a cleansing balm they absolutely love? 2. Get in the habit of overnight lip care
 I’m a lip biter. When I’m stressed, I can’t help but put my emotions into biting my lips. I hate the habit and my poor lips suffer. And while lips heal fast, I’ve been looking for products that give them major nourishment and protection against my wicked biting. Milk Makeup’s Melatonin Overnight Lip Mask has brought them back to life, making this more of a ritual as it relates to my nighttime skincare routine I think I can do! 3. Have more fun with makeup
 2020 had me going barefaced often. And while my skin could really renew and show its naturally dewy self...I missed playing around! I’m determined to have fun with my funky colored Skywash’s from Glossier and bright eye liners from Freck. Who knows, maybe I'll even break out the rhinestones. I’m ready to get a little wild.  4. Nourish the brows!
 I’ve been growing them out and while they look FAB, they need some TLC! I rarely fill them in when it comes to my makeup routine and I get them waxed/trimmed only about twice a year. I just got this new eyebrow soap from Lilac Beauty and they have been soaking up all the goodness from castor oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, and coconut oil. Highly recommend this, and taking suggestions for more brow care products!  5. Meditate more, stress less, and take baths
 Beauty meditation is totally a thing. And doing my skincare routine, painting my nails, or even taking a bath just makes me feel like time stops a little. There’s times where I feel it’s my chance to breathe and reflect. Being intentional with my routines like adding in more gua sha tool usage or time with my Nuface is something i’m striving for. But also, I’ve found setting intentions and using bath salts have helped me calm down from a stressful day. If you’re looking to add this into your beauty routine, check out bath salts from HELLEN, they’re life changing. What are your beauty resolutions for 2021? Comment below!

Hi, my name’s Francine and I’m addicted to Animal Crossing!!! 🐶🐷🐱🐰🦊💗 If you guys have been following along you’ve probably seen my other ACNH inspired lewks. Someone suggested I did Merengue next, and honestly she was already on my list! Merengue is a normal rhino villager and her name comes from “meringue”, a type of dessert made with egg whites and sugar. My husband has her on his island and she’s the cutest!! 🍰 I also got inspo from @neoini on IG! They did this look a while ago, and I’m just beyond obsessed. Here’s what I used for this look: 🍓 e.l.f. - Poreless Putty Primer 🍰DIOR - Forever Skin Correct Concealer 🍓essence - All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder 🍰essence - Satin Touch Blush 🍓COLOURPOP - Strawberry shake shadow palette 🍰CALEY COSMETICS - Beach Babe Natural Lips 🍓Glossier. - Glossier. Lip Gloss 🍰Freck BEAUTY - THE ORIGINAL FRECKLE 🍓OFRA - Limited Edition Rodeo Drive Highlighter Ornament 🍰 ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Gel How did I do it: • First I started by prepping my skin, so I used my favorite primer atm. The elf poreless putty primer gives me a smooth, flawless base every time. • Next I spot concealed with the Dior forever skin correct concealer, I wear shade 1W. • I like to keep my brows soft when I’m doing villager inspired makeup lol, so I only went in with the dipbrow gel, which I don’t love but I can’t find my elf wow brow 😔 • Now for the eyes I used one of my favorite palettes from CP and did a soft, shimmery pink eye bc the lil strawberry nose is the focal point here! • The nose was so hard guys, I used a white concealer and a green eyeliner from a now discontinued beauty brand and just carefully tried to draw a strawberry. Any white creamy shadow or concealer will work and any green shadow or liner is ok! I used the shade Daiquiri from the Strawberry Shake palette for the rest. Ta-da! • To set my makeup I used the essence - All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder I purchased this powder when I did my Flora makeup and needed a white fixing powder. I went with Essence because honestly I rarely ever use mattifying powders for my regular makeup routine, and Essence is inexpensive and they’re powders are just top tier. This powder is supposed to be “invisible” so I just build up until I can no more and it works great! Its surprisingly lightweight even when I apply like 10 layers to get maximum opacity. Also the price is hard to beat! $3.99 for 8 grams 🙌 • I used the Satin Touch Blush in Coral love. • For the freckles I used the Freck BEAUTY - THE ORIGINAL FRECKLE the liquid-y formula and small brush makes it easy to draw fake freckles, but it’s a little warm for my taste and way too small. Def not a need.

This is the most fun I’ve had with makeup in a long time. I thought I’d try my hand at a “vintage” makeup look, inspired by mid/late 90’s pop icons, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. While I’d imagine most people in the 90’s didn’t go for this look on a regular basis, it seems like the celebrities DID! If I was a young adult in the 90’s, I wouldn’t have been rocking this every day, but instead thin eyeliner, dark lipsticks, and no blush. But this was SUPER fun to create and now I’m wondering if I would have at least tried it. My skin type: combination, acne prone, sensitive, rosacea. My skin color: I have light skin, but not as light as fair. Below I’ll take you through my steps for creating this look (base, then eyes, then cheeks, and finally lips). Base boscia - Skin Perfecting BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 not my favorite, mainly because it has an orange tint to it. But it was PERFECT for this look - I feel like most celebs in the 90’s were terribly orange-tanned. I applied this with a sponge to get a natural base. e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer love this one for under my eyes + high points of my face; most of the photos of Britney I remember have pretty high contrast between her concealer and her colorful makeup! I blended this out with a brush ever so gently to retain some of that brightness! Eye makeup Freck BEAUTY - UFOMFG one of my favorite palettes of all time - it’s totally 90’s! I used the light blue shade on my entire lid, and then the dark blue shade on the crease. I applied them both with a stiff brush to pack in color! Too Faced - Just Peachy Mattes Eyeshadow Palette I used the pinkish purple color at the bottom under my eyes mostly, but brought it up to create a bit of cat eye and line the top of my eyes. A very thin brush helps a lot! ciaté - Wonderwand Intensely Volumising Mascara I layered it four times to get this spider-leg, long, curled eyelash look. Both top and bottom lashes got this treatment. I alternated eyes so the formula could dry down a bit. Cheeks Glossier. - Cloud Paint Seamless Cheek Color I used this in shade storm to get that rich pink blush that was so dreamy for the 90’s. I extended it much higher up my cheekbones than most of us do today - and didn’t blend much either. I mostly used my fingers and then a stipple brush to blend out the edges. Lips SEPHORA COLLECTION - Rouge Gel Lip Liner Meh, this liner is usually not my go-to on a normal day, but it works so well for this look! I outlined my lips a bit so that I could have a strong base to gloss up. FENTY BEAUTY - Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer one of the best glosses on the market, this is IMPERATIVE to a 90’s look. Glossy lips were a staple - you needed to be kissable! This formula is not sticky, not drying, kinda hydrating actually! #CheriePartner
