🗣Public service announcement: You’re supposed to WET your beauty blender. It’s just the rules. K? K! 🤣⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
But seriously, a @beautyblender is meant to be used wet. It should double in size. The one on the right is wet, but it started out the same as the one on the left. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Why? For one, a wet/damp beauty blender prevents all of you’re product from getting soaked up inside of it. When it’s wet, it swells so your makeup doesn’t absorb as much. Your application will also be way more flawless and not streaky. Imagine doing your dishes with a dry sponge, not gonna work, right? When it’s wet, it’s distributing the product perfectly as you bounce it into the skin. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Every single time I post about wetting the beauty blender I get questions or comments about people who never knew that so I figured a quick little PSA might be helpful. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Of course, there are outliers here, like some people prefer to use with dry with their setting powders and that’s cool. I’m not one of those people, I find my powder applies better with a damp BB as well. But for sure liquids and creams, you’ll truly get the most out of this tool once you’ve run it under your faucet and allowed it to get damp and giant. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
So tell your friends, share this post, WET YOUR BEAUTY BLENDERS!! 🖤

AD: You guys know that I've been skipping foundation A LOT lately and going for a lighter base. In order to do that I wanted to make sure that I was addressing my redness. I spent a few months trying out different products that all had huge promises but they just weren't getting the job done. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Last year I had tried Prosacea and I was super impressed with my results. I saw visible results in just a few days. I was so excited to finally be able to offer you guys an affordable product for redness. Once I had finished it up I spent a few months trying out other products for redness and sensitive skin, since that's part of my job and I'm always testing something new. But the truth is nothing really worked. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
A few of you guys actually brought Prosacea back up to me and put it back on my radar. I instantly drove to my local CVS and grabbed it. ■ ⠀
■ ⠀
And again, I was impressed when I could see results in just a matter of days. Prosacea® Medicated Gel reduces rosacea symptoms, including facial redness, pimples, and irritation. Prosacea can be used alone, under moisturizer, or under makeup to help treat and heal your redness. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Prosacea is unique compared to many other over-the-counter options as it actually helps heal the symptoms of rosacea versus just covering the symptoms through tints and concealers. I'm 100% convinced that Prosacea is the affordable holy grail product if you're dealing with reddened, dry, and irritated skin. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
When I find myself repurchasing a product more than once, that speaks volumes to me. That's why I was super excited to partner with Prosacea again since I had just repurchased it when they reached back out. It was fate. https://lnk2.io/wcdCx8h #bestfaceforward #prosacea

Instagram is a sea of opinions. Comments on your posts. Captions in your feed. Everyone thinks they’re right. Nobody offers grace. I need you to remember that the ONLY opinion that counts is YOURS. Who you see when you look in the mirror. ⠀

You my friends are strong and beautiful and capable. You can do hard things. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Eat your veggies. Drink your water. And stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. They’re not the boss of you. ⠀

⠀
This was my “if you could make it through that year, you can make it through anything” year. I can confidently say it broke me. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Sometimes I hid it and sometimes I shared it. But it was hard. There were more days then I’d like to admit when i didn’t believe I’d make it. Days where I didn’t want to be on this earth anymore. Days where we were struggling so much financially that I cried for hours. Days when my friends picked me up. Days when I isolated those same friends because I was broken and felt ashamed. Days when what addiction did to my marriage slapped me in the face. Days when I was angry. Sad. Resentful. Ashamed. Lost. Confused. Days when I fell to my knees and begged for answers. Days when the panic was so heavy I couldn’t see anything else.⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
But it also molded me, grew me, and started to heal me. In the last two weeks, even though I spent one of the horribly ill with the flu. I grew so much. I finally started to feel like I was finding all of me again. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I don’t say any of this for pity. But to remind you to have hope. I know it’s hard. Even in those darkest moments but just cling to it even if ever so slightly. Because you will get through this day, week, month, year. That’s my promise to you. You are worthy. And it will be ok. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I’m also eternally grateful for the women who held my hand through all of this. They know who they are and I wouldn’t be here without them. And for each of you as well. You might not realize this but this community, you guys, you gave me a reason to get up and keep coming back. ⠀
