soo everyone has their must haves right? like the things you would rather go a day without food to have. yeah. well these are my beauty must haves.
vaseline.
im a nut about eye creams (wrinkles people, wrinkles) and most of them are like a million dollars…
sometimes i go to nordstrom and ask for samples of the expensive ones just to try them and see if they are even worth the money, they arent.
vaseline is cheap and keeps wrinkles away and not to mention is a fab conditioner for your eyelashes. (always apply with ring finger, has the least muscle, wont pull skin, aka you wont cause more wrinkles)
sugar.
i ALWAYYYS always always have a bowl of sugar by my sink.
i once watched a interview with cindy crawford (if you dont know who she is you should commit. jk dont that would be awful but google her she is like 50 and looks 20) and they asked her how she stays looking so young and she said ANYTIME before she puts make up on she will scrub her face with sugar. (she also uses vaseline as eye cream
)
and honestly its a dream come true.
it makes your make up go on 1000% smoother and more amazing.
i just get my face wet, and then put face wash on my face and pour sugar onto my hands and then scrub the sugar in with the face wash for like a minute. you will love your face.
and also.. scrub your lips and hands. (makes your lips soft and hands looking young)
happy one year anniversary to latisse!!
thanks for providing me with lush long eye lashes for one year now
honestly people screw eye lash extensions… its all about latisse and its the same price. you just apply it every night and no joke it does what the picture says.
everyone always asks me if my lashes are fake and they are not (sorry for the humble brag), but a year ago no one would have thought that because they were depressed sad thin short little lashes.
GET LATISSE!!!!
i will never go a day for the rest of my life without it.
not exaggerating either.
omgggg.
if you have had your hair blonde then brown then felt you were ugly so went back blonde then saw a pretty brunette and decided to go brown then got over that so you went back blonde, (like me), then this is the greatest.
i only wash my hair like twice a week so when i do i only use this.. i use shampoo (obvi) then leave this on for 20 min and rinse with cold water. my hair is finally beginning to be healthy and grow again!
if you go to tanning beds then……… HAVE FUN LOOKING LIKE YOURE 50 WHEN YOURE 30
jk…. not really though. just stop the tanning beds eh?
trust me..
im a TANOREXIC
meaning: i cannot be white. i cant. i wont.
but i am WRINKLEOREXIC also
meaning: i have the greatest fear of wrinkles. when they come i will embrace them and rock them. buuuut i will try and delay the aging process as much as possible.
that being said, i have literally tried every tanning lotion imaginable.
ask all my friends in junior high, high school, and college.
i would wake up bright orange with streaks and then go to the next lotion and alas, i have found my soul mate. it goes on brown so you see where its going (aka NO STREAKS and NO ORANGE) and you instantly see the color you will be. it takes about 5 days to fade. it doesnt smell bad. and its cheap. at least for me because i get it 50% off so if you would like some, talk to me.















Um, yeah. So my sister and I were just reading this. And we decided we need a tutorial from you haha. We seriously want to try everything. And my sister wants to buy that tanning stuff from you!
haha i will totally give you one!!! and i will show you how the tanning lotion works! it is so amazing and you guys can see if you like it! and then ill get some for you if you do!
Perfect! I will so be calling you to teach us haha
Question! So do you use your Clairsonic with the sugar? I use mine day and night but I want to try the sugar thing too, maybe just a little with the Clairsonic or will it rub my skin off?
thanks! oh and how much is the tanning stuff? I would probably totally love to try that
bre- seriously do!
jackie- k so i actually lost the battery for my clarisonic so i havent been using it but when i did have the battery i would use my clarisonic at night after i washed my make up off (now i use sugar and loreal go 360 clean scrubber) and then in the mornings i would wash and scrub my face with sugar before getting ready! seriously try it! its so great! and scrub your lips and hands too! if you get your hands wet and then put soap on and get lots of sugar and scrub for a couple minutes and then wash it off and put lotion on your hands will be a dream boat! and supposedly it keeps the wrinkles away!
whoops by battery i meant charger!
oh and the tanning lotion is usually $32.00 online and in salons but i get it for like $17.50 (i believe) and i would love to get anyone some!
Amber you are so cute… I just love looking at your blog! These are great tips. I use the moroccan oil too and it is a dream come true! I also have a dream soap for my face…literally my skin has not been the same since I started using it. It’s called Cerave, and I also use the Cerave AM moisturizer for the morning and PM for the night. My bro-in-law is a dermatologist graduated #1 from med school (brag moment!) and he told me to use this. It is so gentle and he says its one of the best soaps for your skin.
Also, it seems as tho you are as anti wrinkle as I am! USE THE GENERIC FOR RETINAE!!! It is a little harsh at first (causes some peeling until your skin is used to it) and I’m sure some people are anti it (but mainly they are ignorant because it’s sooo good for your skin) but my skin is literally brand new since I started!! It is anti-wrinkle and also helps with acne. My mom uses it, my sisters, even my bro-in-law the derm. It’s amazing! Text me if you have other questions about it
Thanks for sharing your other tips too! Can’t wait to try the vaseline as my eye cream! Never thought of that!
Oh and P.S I laughed out loud at your description of your “faggot lashes” bahahaha.
cait! really?! all those products sound amazing! i love hearing what works for other people!! i feel like my skin gets used to what i do so i always have to switch it up! how much is the stuff you use?! im just such a cheapooo is my only problem!!
hi um i totally love your blog! I tried your sugar trick and my face is silky smooth, i am in love:) thank for that!
Oh don’t worry, I’m about as cheap as it gets too! So the CeraVe you can just get at like Wal Mart. It is a little pricey, but honestly not too bad and TOTALLY worth it. It also lasts a long time! The P.M moisturizer feels like putting heaven on your face haha. And the generic for Retinae is super cheap…I think mine was even free with insurance. You just have to have a doctor call it in to a pharmacy. Totally worth the efforts, and I can probably get samples for you or have my brother in law call it in for you if you look into it and want to try it
i have retina stuff i think! i will take an insta of the stuff i have and tell me if its the stuff youre talking about!! and i will have to go get that stuff from wal mart!! as soon as i get my next pay check
thanks for the recommendations love!!!
madison!! youre so sweet! its the best huh? its so simple and it makes the hugest difference! youre already so stunning though you dont need the help!
where do u buy latisse for the cheapest?
i get it from a friend who knows a doctor and it costs me $90 but if you go to a spa that does collogen and botox and all that good stuff they usually have it there! or you can get it from your doctor!!

I love love your blog and had so much fun reading this post until I got to your description of “faggot lashes”. I am gay and was offended. I don’t know if you’re just ignorant or unaware of recent social issues, but I have no doubt other readers think you are as stupid as I do.
Anonymous- I am sincerely sorry… I honestly do not use that word as a derogatory term and I have had to remind myself several times what it actually means. Growing up in an LDS community it just meant “idiot” but that is no excuse and I am so sorry. I have absolutely nothing against gays and I have the upmost respect and love for them. My boyfriend’s brother is gay and I do not see him any differently than I would anyone else. I also have relatives and friends who are gay as well and I love them. Again, I am so sorry.
Hi Amber
I have two questions
Do you scrub with sugar twice a day? or just once?
The Vaseline as an eye cream..twice a day? and just pat it with the ring finger as you would any eye cream? and then continue with your concealer and moisturizer as normal??
Amber,
What type of sugar should i use?
Okay so 2 things! Did latisse change you eye color? Because I have always wanted to buy it but I’ve heard so many horror stories about blue eyes turning brown and spotted. And I don’t want to lose the pretty baby blues!!!
Also, what’s the tanning lotion you use???? I’m sorry if you already said t, but I’m super curious!!!!
Love your blog, thank god for pinterest that’s how I found you!!!
Can you hook me up with the self-tanner?
marianna_sot@hotmail.com
First of all you are stunning.
Second of all – how can I order some fake bake? I would LOVE to try it
Love your blog,
Mar

Hey amber! Can you please do a self tan tutorial on YouTube? Yours always looks amazing and I still end up with streaks. How do you do it?!?!
Hello Amber!
A friend had to show me the cutest little blonde blog she found about a year ago, (you!), and I have been hooked ever since! I used to a tanning bed Tanorexic…. I know bad Bad BAD!!! Those were my teenager years…. but now I know the harm that i have caused my skin, and I CAN NOT be white either…. I just hate it.. I feel so much better with a glow… I wanted to try that self tanner you suggested if it really works the best! I wondered if you could direct me where to get it, and how to do it without being orange and having streaks! If this really works you will be my HERO!!!
I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks so much!
