CLINIQUE - Even Better Glow Light Reflecting Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Foundation tarte - Shape Tape Concealer 16N Too Faced - Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer PAT McGRATH LABS - Celestial Divinity Luxe Quad Some scratchiness and it was hard to blend plus fall out. But the color payoff is terrific and the duochrome is gorgeous in person. PAT McGRATH LABS - Dark Star Volumizing Mascara OG HG. PHYSICIANS FORMULA - Murumuru Butter Bronzer in Light. Blends well and goes on smoothly! DIOR - BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palette Hard to pick up with my brush. Doesn’t layer well over bronzer. Ended up looking muddy. ILIA - Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil in Saint. I love this formula. The right amount of shine, wears well and is buildable without being gloopy. Earrings via IndigenousIntentions @ Etsy.

JOSIE MARAN - 100% Pure Argan Oil (as primer). I splurge on this because the women are paid a living wage and their daughters are given a safe place to be during the day. I consider it an investment that I can’t make with every product but I do with this staple. UOMA BEAUTY - Say What?! Foundation T1N. Applied really well over the Argan Oil and gave me a nice lit from within glow. tarte - Shape Tape Concealer 16N. Helps with the under eye bags! Too Faced - Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer MAGIC COVER FX - Dewy Finish Setting Spray I like how fine the mist is and the fact that it keeps my makeup from setting or turning matte. PAT McGRATH LABS - Celestial Divinity Luxe Quad Went on smoothly. Stayed on. Came off easily. No fall out. Felt great on! PAT McGRATH LABS - Dark Star Volumizing Mascara OG HG. OFRA - #OFRAglow Signature Highlighting Palette Goes on like butter. Really buildable and great colors. BOBBI BROWN - Crushed Oil-Infused Lip Gloss in Bitter Sweet. I didn’t know what ‘pillowy’ meant until I wore this gorgeous lip color. It was scent and taste free. It applied easily with a great applicator and the color lost some intensity but stayed true for hours. Definitely a product I plan to buy more colors from. Happy Holidays to me!

I remember doing this makeup in September for an event where I read some of my poetry for the first time . I am still getting used to my really short hair and to feel as feminine and as confident. This day will forever stay in my heart and I am so grateful for that (also it was my dad's birthday and taylor Swift anouced that she is releasing evermore like ,how iconic ?!!!!) tourlou 🪐 worn smashbox - Photo Finish Oil & Shine Control Matte Primer PÜR - 4-In-1 Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer e.l.f. - 16HR Camo Concealer Glossier. - Cloud Paint Seamless Cheek Color FENTY BEAUTY - Match Stix Matte Skinstick Glossier. - Wowder Weightless Finishing Powder LUNAR BEAUTY - Moon Prism Blush Palette BECCA - Sunlit Bronzer essence - Pure Nude Highlighter MAYBELLINE - Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder benefit - Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer URBAN DECAY - Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion COLOURPOP - Stone Cold Fox Shadow Palette PAT McGRATH LABS - Mega Mothership: Celestial Divinity Eyeshadow Palette Too Faced - Damn Girl! 24-Hour Mascara MAYBELLINE - Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick Spiced Edition FENTY BEAUTY - Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer

Hey y’all!!! It’s been forever since I posted but I’m back!!!!!!🥰 Anyways this look was completely on accident. I usually just use an under eye cream to try and hide my dark circles from mostly lack of sleep. But today I used brow gel, concealer, bronzer, blush, and mascara to do a quick 5 minute look to brighten up my eyes since that’s what people only see!!! At first it was a disaster but blending is everything let me tell you!! Mask acne is killing my face right now so I left that part alone except for my daily moisturizer. Stay tuned for a video tonight because I’m going to turn my 5 minute look into a full natural look!!!!

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Animal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette - My favorite eyeshadow palette! Perfect for a natural look! Doesn’t have the product, but the Wet ‘n’ Wild Blush- in the shade Pinch Me Pink! It has the perfect tint, with the best amount of shimmer! cosmedica SKINCARE - Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum Works really well on my face! I don’t really need a description, it’s pretty self explanatory. MAYBELLINE - Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara It really is waterproof! BTW, It’s still the same product just different like labels you could say? It does work and my lashes are longer and fuller! SEPHORA COLLECTION - 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation Works good. Not the best coverage, so good for people with clearer skin.SEPHORA COLLECTION - Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer Covers my dark circles awesomely! It blends really nicely. On the bright side (bad pun alert!), it isn’t too bright so it looks natural. benefit - Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel Perfect for saving time, and getting the appearance of fuller brows! It takes two seconds to apply, and has a natural look. MILANI - Make It Last Prime + Correct + Set Setting Spray Sets my makeup in place for long days. Works amazing! I would recommend doing a before and after spray, for a good prime and set. RIMMEL - STAY GLOSSY High Shine Lip Gloss Not this exact one! Get the clear one! It’s cute, trust me! 😉 MAYBELLINE - Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer Minimizes my pores like CRAZY!! Green Color Corrector- Ok, there’s no product on Cheri for this, BUT if you go to target and into the beauty section, it should be there! BATH & BODY WORKS - In the Stars Fine Fragrance Mist I use it everyday. A few squirts should be perfect!

2020 is coming to a close. I think we are all very hopeful for a better 2021. 2020 has been challenging year. But, as hard as it has been for me having a newborn & a toddler at home during two lockdowns now (Ontario is officially locked down today again), it has also given me LOTS of time with my kids, a HUGE appreciation for stay at home moms, and appreciating all the things I took for granted like seeing friends & family at Christmas. Here’s my @cherie2020 Top 5 1. Product My favourite has been SUNDAY RILEY - Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment I received it in a sample bag from Sephora and was blown away by the results. It’s a 7 % lactic acid treatment in a milky serum consistency. It also contains licorice root extract. You really can notice it smooth & brighten your skin in 3 minutes! I haven’t bought the full size yet. It retails for $112 CAD for 1oz. But when my sample runs out I think this one is worth the money! (The sample is .25oz and I’ve been using it once a week for about 6 weeks and I might have one use left) 2. Trend Does Vitamin C count as a trend? I only started my skincare journey 6 months ago. I didn’t really know anything about skincare ingredients. Now I’ve bought two Vitamin C serums, an eye cream, and face wash! Vitamin C is powerful antioxidant that helps give you brighter, tighter, and overall more radiant looking skin. I definitely have noticed a difference since starting use to Vitamin C serums! VERSED - STROKE OF BRILLIANCE Brightening Serum SUNDAY RILEY - C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum(haven’t started using) OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Eye Crème OLE HENRIKSEN - Truth Juice Daily Cleanser 3. Best Look My best book would have to be my everyday 5 minute natural make-up look (see earlier post). Before I started my skincare journey in the summer, I was maybe washing my face in the shower and putting on lotion. Definitely no make-up. I looked tired and dull. Now I take care of my skin, so even without make-up I look brighter and I also take 5 minutes to put on a little make-up, even if it is just to walk the kids to the park and it makes me feel a lot better about my appearance. CLINIQUE - Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator Broad Spectrum SPF 25 SEPHORA COLLECTION - Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek CLINIQUE - High Impact Lash Elevating Mascara CLINIQUE - Just Browsing Brush-on Styling Mousse 4. Favourite Creator on Cherie I might be biased because I won a great giveaway from her, but I really love following @JadesJourney I really enjoy her intersection between skincare and wellness. Check her out! 5. Something I learned The biggest thing I learned this year is not only can I find the time everyday to take care of my skin but that I look forward to it! Happy New Year!

This concealer is really good when it comes to blending and is very inexpensive. It’s by Maybelline, and you can get it either from Walmart or Target. I typically use the shade that comes in “cafe”.

Most days I prefer to go light on makeup if I’m just going out to run a few errands, or doing something casual with friends and family. I have a few key products that I use to help elevate my natural features, ones that I think are the most essential to help us feel more put together. Below are a few of my go to products when I want a fast, easy, and natural makeup look for everyday. You can substitute any of the specific products I mention for your own, these are just what I prefer! 1. BROWS BROWS BROWS Anytime I have nicely groomed and defined brows I immediately feel more confident. There’s something about a nicely fluffed brow that just makes me happy. Not only that, I find that it helps frame the face and adds a bit more definition to the eye area. My current favorite brow routine uses only two products: The Anastasia Brow Wiz and the Anastasia Brow Gel. The Brow Wiz has a very precise pencil tip that helps with shaping my brows and filling them in with small defined strokes, and the gel helps with adding even more definition and shape while making sure they stay put all day. 2. Conceal and Powder Concealer is the most important step to this routine. I focus my concealer application to the center of my face - think under the eyes, around the nose, and chin area. This is where I have the most redness so I focus here and then follow up with some powder. We’re not using a foundation in this routine, but for me the concealer is enough to help even out the skin tone and blend in with the rest of our bare skin, giving a seamless natural look. I’ve been using the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and powder for years now, and they never fail me. 3. Rosy Cheeks I find that blush is a very important step after adding all that concealer and powder, which tends to flatten the face a bit. Blush will give your face a fresh look and help in defining facial structure. I don’t focus the product on the apples of my cheeks, I prefer to take it up on my cheekbones and then blend it to the apples just a bit, this defines my cheekbones more than if I only applied to the apples. Currently I’ve been loving the Wet n Wild Color Icon blush. 4. Bronzer This doesn’t serve the purpose you might expect in this particular routine. When I’m in a hurry out the door I don’t bother bronzing my face, but what I will do is put a bit of bronzer in the crease of my eyelids. It’s a quick and easy step that will define the eye and give it a bronzy look. I use the Benefit Hula Bronzer. 5. Maaaaascaraaaaa This speaks for itself. Without mascara my eyes just look incomplete lol. I’ve been loving the Buxom Lash Mascara, it gives my lashes ample volume and length, and opens up my eyes. Bonus (6.): Throw on some lip balm! 💋 I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look at my quick and simple natural everyday makeup routine. Comment below on what your go-to everyday makeup products are, I’d love to know!

I doubt myself. I doubt my skills. I sometimes don’t think I’m beautiful. I find myself questioning if I’m feminine enough or intelligent enough. I break myself out of this by focusing who I am and who I am meant to be. I say my affirmations, pray to God for clarity and move on. I also do my makeup to cope with everything. It may not be as physical as yoga and not as thorough as therapy but it’s my own form of thereapy. With every stroke of the brush, I say to myself that I am beautiful. I am feminine. I am smart and no one can doubt my skills! I am enough. So are you! Makeup used: Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer FENTY BEAUTY - Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation L.A.

This concealer is pretty good when it comes to covering blemishes and giving a blended finished look. I love using this concealer for a underpainting makeup method. This concealer is good when it comes to a full makeup look. I would say powder lightly so that it doesn’t end up looking cakey. L.A. Girl - HD Pro Concealer
