Best Beauty Sales & Noelle Nashville Sneak Peek

Ok ya’ll so the last of the deals are underway and there are some GREAT Cyber Monday beauty sales. I’m stocking up on my essential items that I wear non stop, grabbing a couple sets as friend gifts, and trying a few new items as well.

When it comes to beauty skincare is always paramount for me. It’s so important to take great care of your skin, and it’s the first thing I always notice.

Recently, a friend of mine that is a complete beauty guru told me about the CO2 Lift. This product started out only available to medical professionals. Dr.Biesman, a well known Celebrity doc in Nashville, offered this in his office. He was amazed by the product as well. It is a carboxytherapy treatment that is clinically and effectively proven to lift, hydrate, & rejuvenate your skin. I’m hooked. You can use code: ASHLEYWILSON20 for $20 off until midnight tonight. If you purchase one thing for yourself…this should be it!

First up for makeup, TARTE Cosmetics. I swear by so many of their products because they are cruelty free and free of all the “bad stuff” that fill a lot of makeup lines. They are offering a huge beauty blowout with items up to 60% off.

I love a good long stay lip gloss. This matte version is what I wear every day. I love the shade “bestie” it’s a great deep nude. I also love the shades “festival” and “OG.” (I still do like to wear a clear chapstick over it for hydration.) I also prep my lips with lip saver. (I give this as a gift frequently, and have gotten several of my friends hooked on it!)

In the winter time I love Amozonian Clay foundation. It’s long wearing and has SPF. It’s a true full coverage so I prefer to wear it with primer so that it doesn’t crease. In the warmer months I prefer a lighter weight foundation and switch to the Rainforest of The Sea Foundation . It’s water based and also includes the SPF. (Priorities!)

I also swear by their Dry Shampoo. It smells amazing!!

Ulta Cosmetics has some great beauty sales for cyber Monday as well. They are offering $10 off every $50 with the code CYBERMON17.

BEST MASCARA EVER. I love it! My mother in law got me this as a Christmas present last year and I’ve been using it ever since. It also comes in an ornament form , which is the perfect gift.

With long/thick hair I depend on detangler. THIS ONE is so great! I also love this wet brush. It prevents breakage and protects your hair.

I also was able to find the BEST blow dryer on MEGA sale. (55% off!) It’s professional grade and saves me so much time as well as protects against heat damage. You can shop it HERE.

Nordstrom is offering an additional 20% off sale today. There is a great deal on this LED Mirror and Compact Mirror. I’ve been wanting to try GLAMGLOW for awhile now so this is a new beauty sale item I’ll be purchasing! There is also an AMAZING deal on this acrylic makeup organizer.

One of my favorite parts of being a blogger is being a part of such a fun group of girls in Nashville and getting to get out and do fun things in the community. Noelle Hotel is one of Nashville’s newest gems. It is stuffed full of history, charm, amazing design, local artisans, attention to detail and so much inspiration. I felt so lucky to get a sneak peek of the hotel and can’t wait for a staycation there!

P.S. The EXACT FLANNEL I’m wearing is 30% off plus an additional 20% right now for Cyber Monday only! I’ve been wearing these for years and they are just the softest, easiest pieces. There are also some prints with an even greater discount HERE. These High-Waist Black Jeans are on mega clearence for $30. They are SO flattering. I’m wearing a 27 for reference, and that is my typical size.

Beauty Bag Round Up- Makeup, Skincare & Brushes

Posted on June 15, 2017

I’ve been finding lots of great products lately and wanted to do a beauty bag round up to share some of the goodness!

I’ve been finding lots of great products lately and wanted to do a beauty bag round up to share some of the goodness!

First up, are these AHH-MAZING brushes. Now I know that these are an investment item. After, using them and seeing the difference I see why they are totally worth it. These are NOT made from animal hair like a lot of other brushes on the market. They are comprised of an engineered fibre that applies much more easily than a conventional brush. The surface area of these brushes are made to pickup and lay down the product, without holding on to it. This helps to not waste nearly as much product. (So in my mind..that makes them worth it right there. I HATE wasting expensive makeup.) Every fiber also has a tapered tip ending in a microscopic fine structure. This makes blending nearly flawless, and easy to achieve. I can’t hype these things up enough!! They were on my wish list a long time prior to pulling the trigger, but I wish I would have earlier!

I know I’ve talked about my love for Tarte Cosmetics a lot lately, but my obsession is real. If you are new to the blog, Tarte is an organic cosmetic company with impeccable packaging that is formulated without the use of parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, triclosan, synthetic fragrances, gluten, etc. They’ve recently come out with a few new products that I’ve been crushing on and are a must have for any beauty bag. Their new perfume smells amazing. It’s in a roller ball style, so super easy for travel. It’s a vanilla-ish smell without being too sweet. Huge fan over here.

I don’t know how I’m so late to the highlighter game, but it’s a complete game changer. Especially in the summer to achieve that dewy glow. I have all three colors of this liquid highlighter but my favorite is the “exposed nude”. It gives that highlight effect without being overkill/ looks like you dumped glitter on your face like some highlighters seem to do…

My obsession with this skin mist is slightly out of control… It smells so fresh and is really hydrating in this summer heat.

I really don’t have time to touch up my makeup in the day with G, so I’ve been swearing by this liquid lipstick. I do add a little chapstick to top to keep my lips from feeling or looking dry. The color “bestie” is my everyday go to. It’s a bit darker than a nude, but in that nude family. I’ve also been loving the peachy look for summer, and “salty” a lot too.

My skin is always changing especially being pregnant, and I change up the skincare that’s in my beauty bag ALL the time. Lately, I’ve been a bit worried about turning the big 3-0 next month so I’ve been using Goop eye cream. I got this from a friend of mine, Mallory Ervin. She’s a beauty blogger and really knows her stuff and she was right. It works!

I’d love to hear any tried and true products that ya’ll swear by! I’m really getting into makeup and skincare more and more lately. Really appreciate a well made product to fill my beauty bag up with!
