Tonight's giveaway is something every girl needs....a Bling Brush....but not just any jewelry cleaner.....it is all natural & safe to use on all jewelry (real or faux). Just simply twist, clean, polish, and sparkle. It is good up to 100 uses & the price is amazing....I think I will be a life time customer of Baublerella ;) They are even featured in brides magazine this month....how amazing is that?!

I absolutely love Baublerella's story...... 

Our Story

Baublerella is bringing glam and grace to jewelry care while fostering a sisterhood of women looking to help one another.

Baublerella was founded on a dream to make polishing jewelry part of your daily beauty routine. Tom Ford once said, “Dressing well is a form of good manners,” and we couldn't agree more. Women strive to put their best foot forward and Baublerella helps you do just that – a swipe of lipstick, a spritz of perfume and a quick brush across your bling will leave you sparkling!

A wise girl once said, a dream is a wish the heart makes. After much thought, we took that advice and here we are. Running on a lot of heart and one too many lattes, we work daily inspiring you to sparkle from the inside out!

The Beginning

Baublerella originated with the simple idea of creating a jewelry cleaner women can use anytime, anywhere. One night long ago, a young woman was rushing to a fancy party. After getting all dolled up and slipping on a dashing new dress, she realized she’d run out the door without cleaning her wedding ring. Saddened her ring wouldn’t sparkle and shine that night, she set out to look for a solution.

After shopping around, she noticed not only did an ideal solution not exist, but jewelry care products didn’t reflect the fashionable nature of jewelry. Jewelry is fashion, and fashion is art so why wouldn’t the products reflect that?

She created Baublerella as a glamorous alternative.  

A brand was born but it couldn’t be all about the products. It had to be more. After much reflection, the young woman decided her brand would stand on a foundation of confidence, and refinement; it would seek to emanate a positivity inspiring others daily.  

Now if she only had a name…

Story in a Name

Late one night, reading about strong women in literature and film, something sparked in the young woman's mind – Baublerella. It was perfect; the marriage of the word bauble, a vintage term for jewelry, with the classic fairytale, Cinderella.

Cinderella is the story of a girl who was hardworking and kindhearted despite setbacks she often faced. Cinderella was always overlooked until the night she was polished up for the royal ball. Once she walked in the door, all eyes gazed upon her and her fairytale came true.

While Cinderella wore a beautiful dress and arrived in style that night, it was the confidence gained in herself that really made an impact.   

Baublerella now lives happily ever after.   

Don't you just love their story? I love sisterhood & helping one another be the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be. 

There is nothing better than going in the right lighting & seeing your rings sparkle.....with the bling brush you can have your jewelry sparkle at all times! I love that I can just throw it in my purse & pull it out whenever I need to when I'm on the go.

& the best part is that Baublerella is giving my followers a chance to win a bling brush for themselves! Whoooo hoooo! So whether you are engaged, married, or just love jewelry....this would be perfect for you! I also have the glitzy glove that is perfect to put on while cleaning your jewelry. You can purchase your bling brush at Nordstrom & Dillard's....this would make the cutest stocking stuffers, shower gifts, or just a little "just 'cause" happy for your BFF ;)

Maskcara Cosmetics

There is just something about makeup that most all women love....I remember the first time I put on makeup as a young girl...I was sitting at my vanity that my MawMaw had just given me to do my hair & makeup on....(& that's where I still put on my makeup to this day).... I remember feeling so fresh, so pretty, so feminine. I knew that makeup would never define me, but right then and there I fell in love with how it enhanced my natural skin & how it made me feel like a "woman." Just ask my mom....growing up with two older sisters...I could NOT WAIT to wear makeup...& I may or may not have snuck some of my sisters' makeup from time to time ;)

When choosing makeup it can be so hard to figure out what kinds to get, what shade, what brands, & the list goes on. It can get overwhelming! & half the time you don't even like what you are using. Or maybe you are working full time & in college, a mom taking care of sweet littles, or maybe you just don't like taking the time to do it. Because let's face it....we all are busy, but we all want to look beautiful...so where do we start & what should we get? 

I recently found maskcaracosmetics & let me tell you.....I'm obsessed!!! It is so simple, yet gives such a flawless finish. It can completely enhance that natural beauty of yours in minutes!

I love what Cara, the creator of Maskcara, says, 

"I believe that most women are twice as pretty as they give themselves credit for inside and out. I'm on a mission to change that."

It comes in a palette where you can replace them whenever you run out. I love the size of it because all you have to do is throw it in your purse and you are good to go! Not to mention it is only $42 & you have everything you need. 

When you get yours in the mail it will come with a little guide on how to apply it & they also have an amazing video on how-to-hac that makes it really easy to understand & apply yourself.

It comes with contour, highlighter, blush, & an illuminator...all in one. You can find the brushes & beauty blender here.

Here is my BEFORE and AFTER picture when using maskcaracosmetics. Thank ya Jesus for makeup! ;)

Thanks for stopping by....feel free to email me if you have any questions or just want to chat.

DIY Makeup Brush Cleaner

I know that cleaning your brushes is a pain and no one really wants to take the time to do it....but it's worth it.

I use Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush by Urban Decay (I highly recommend using this brush for your liquid foundation...it gives such a flawless finish and it is extremely soft and high quality...I've never had any bristles come off) more than any of my other brushes...so it needs to be cleaned more. Cleaning your brushes is not only sanitary but also it truly improves your makeup application! & let's get real...when you walk into a makeup store...spending money on a makeup brush cleaner is the last thing on your mind! Cleansers can range from $10-$40....so why not use two things that the average person already has in their home?

What you'll need:

1) 5.5 Tablespoons of Olive oil

2) 2 Tablespoons of Antibacterial Dish Soap 

Pour ingredients on a plate or in a bowl. Mix together.

Dip your brush into the mixture.

Make sure you have a good amount on your brush.

Rub your brush in a circular motion in the palm of your hand. The makeup will start coming off.

Continue to rub your brush in circular motion in the palm of your hand while

running WARM water until you feel as if your brush if fully clean. It shouldn't take long.

I recommend letting your brush/brushes sit out overnight to be able to dry fully.

Keep being the fabulous YOU and try to clean your brushes every now and then ;)

Red Velvet Lips

Because today is FRIDAY & it is starting to feel like fall...and since I really really really love this lipstick, I am giving away a FREE tube of my favorite red lipstick to the first 5 people who become a preferred customer for Nerium AD day & night cream + firm lotion or become a Brand Partner under me. You can read about this favorite beauty secret of mine here Enhancing Your Natural Beauty. This red lipstick comes from Sephora...I have searched years and years for the perfect red lipstick that stays on ALL DAY and let me tell you....this stuff is beautiful. Your lips will look like a red velvet carpet! This is the same lipstick that I wore on my wedding day and many more occasions since then. It has lasted over a year because you only have to apply it once and you'll be gorgeous all day!

                                                                  

Every time I put this lipstick on I feel like I am on the set with Marilyn or Audrey. It will bring out your glamorous side & I say LET IT! As you can see....with these lips you aren't camera shy...or maybe that's just me ;)

 

One coat will last you all day!

You can even kiss as many times as you want ;)
