Boundless beauty…

Boundless beauty (Bb) is a state of mind. It’s the belief that age is just a number, rules are meant to be broken, and you don’t need to live and look a certain way to please others – it comes when you are in tune with your truest self. As much as I want this blog to help others gain more confidence and feel beautiful, that will only come once you are comfortable in your own skin. It’s taken me years to get to this state of mind, and I’ll admit: it’s not easy to stay in this mental place, but it’s a path of self love that’s totally worth pursuing. I hope Bb can be a part of your journey.

  • March empties 🙌🏼 Going counterclockwise from top left: @elfcosmetics #fragrancefree cleansing cloths - my favorite #affordablebeauty buy from @ultabeauty every chance I get - will 100% be repurchasing these in my next Ulta purchase @itcosmetics cleanser - my go-to daily nighttime cleanser - the serum texture is wonderfully gentle at taking off eye makeup @crest 3D whitestrips - all empties count as empties right? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Nameless jar = @youthtothepeople adaptogen creme moisturizer…also 100% restocking this with Sephora’s next VIB event because…discount 🤑 @farmacybeauty coconut gel sheet mask - a friend gifted me this last year and I used it at the beginning of the month. I felt that the eyehole cutouts could have been made much larger - b/c they were so small, the menthol-y eucalyptus stung my eyes and I could only tolerate the mask for 2mins (the packaging recommends 10-15mins). I won’t be re-purchasing this :/ @rimmellondonus scandalash mascara - my favorite mascara 7yrs running - always restocking this @freshbeauty Sugar lip balm - FINALLY finished one of these, and omg there is SO. MUCH. MORE. Seriously: if you dig in below the plastic you’ll have weeks more of use 😳 NOTE: the 2 empties of saline made the cut - why? I’m still in the process of healing my double helix piercing I got in August, it’s been a labor of love healing a double piercing so needed to share for my own sake b/c #progress @deciem @theordinary Marine Hyaluronics - gentle, fragrance free and always restocking this too @jeffreestarcosmetics Velour Lip Scrub in French Toast from his holiday collection...think it was the 2018 collection…? 😬 As much as I love his lip scrubs, I ended up finishing this as a body scrub in the shower @drunkelephant virgin Marula oil mini - was part of the minis gift set and due to price I will not be purchasing the full size. When this ran out I replaced it with $12 @acureorganics marula oil instead b/c…budget @goodmolecules #siliconefree priming moisturizer sample - waiting to try the 2nd sample I have of this before making a call *👇🏻continued in comments 👇🏻*

  • It’s not easy, but positivity feels so much better than the alternative ✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿⠀ ⠀ It’s hard to stay positive amidst the news this week, but having an optimistic look on this situation is the only way I’ve been able to not have a meltdown (more of a sense of community, connecting with friends more, having more time for hobbies, spending more time with the hubs, and sleeping more). Yes, times are a little scary - especially being in nyc for this and our city being called the “epicenter” for the US, hearing our hospitals will run out of supplies by the end of this week, and having confirmed numbers higher than some countries...the news is bleak to say the least. I haven’t turned off any news notifications - I’d rather stay informed than ignorant to what’s happening around me, but not letting it get to me is an effort - no way to sugarcoat that.⠀ ⠀ What makes it a bit more difficult for me is my job: I’m an Employee Engagement manager for almost 300ppl tasked with keeping morale high - if I’m letting it get to me, I’m not able to do my job...and trust me, I caught a glimpse of that last weekend and I’d rather not have a repeat of that #downwardspiral⠀ ⠀ There will be a light at the end of this tunnel. I’m not a religious person, but I do have faith we will come out stronger on the other side of this. I hope you are able to stay positive and are able to entertain the idea of optimism during this challenging time. #community #inthistogether⠀ ⠀ #thursdaythoughts #thursdaymotivation #staypositive #beoptimistic #positivity #optimism #optimistic #dalailama #quote #anxiety #anxious #depression #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #feelbetter #selfquarantine #coronavirusfear #youarenotyouranxiety #anxietysucks #anxietyanddepression #hopeful #hopeforthefuture #keepcalmandstayhome #bestrong #StrongerTogether #NewYorkStateStrongerTogether
  • “Bronzer cancels out bronzer right?” 🙃 - my husband, doing my makeup last night⠀ ⠀ Before all of this (quarantine, covid19, etc), my husband had the hunch he may be a “makeup savant”...mind you, he’s never picked up a brush, cosmetic sponge, or palette in his life. Yesterday was his chance to try to recreate a look I had already posted: he chose the #classicredlipstick from last week⠀ ⠀ Not gonna lie, it’s not as bad as I would’ve assumed 😅 it was comical to watch him leave full areas totally unblended, struggle to realize the opacity / sheerness of powders, and straight up give up on mascara (again, it was his first time ever touching makeup to apply it vs hand me something out of reach lol). Overall: I’m kinda impressed. He only watched me do my base foundation look once (and didn’t remember key parts lol) and only a photo of the #redlipstick look - he never got a tutorial or any step by step how to. ⠀ ⠀ ✨💄The ground rules were:💄✨⠀ ⠀ 1 - pick a look I’ve already done that you want to recreate⠀ ⠀ 2 - I will show you the colors and brushes I used, but you need to figure out how to use them best to achieve the look (I slipped and told him which 2 brushes to use for face b/c I didn’t want to deal with mixing and washing last night 😂 - overall, this was supposed to test if he truly was a makeup savant...not guide him through everything)⠀ ⠀ 3 - have at it! ⠀ ⠀ Overall, what do you think?⠀ I’m wearing:⠀ ⠀ @juicebeauty serum foundation⠀⠀ @itcosmetics under eye concealer⠀ @coverfx bronzer ⠀⠀ @hourglasscosmetics bronzer ⠀ @jeffreestarcosmetics light + taupe shades from the Androgyny palette⠀ @europeanwax Browfection pencil in shade Sand (Light)⠀ @rimmellondonus Scandalash mascara⠀⠀ #jeffreestarcosmetics liquid lipstick in shade Redrum⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #newlook #blueeyes #talcfreemakeup #makeup #beauty #motd #unedited #naturallashes #naturallbrows #beginnermua #aspiringmua #mua #muasupport #selftaughtmua #discovermuas #underratedmuas #newmua #hisvshers #isyourboobetterthanyou #hisfirsttry #whatdoyouthink #vote #makeupmonday #redlip #redlips #classicmakeup #quickmakeup ⠀
  • You brighten my day 🖤⠀ 1 week down, 1 week to go #selfquarantine⠀ ⠀ Used 3 palettes to get this - very fun, and thanks to self quarantining for 2 weeks had all the time in the world to create this look this afternoon lol swipe for the shades per palette 👉🏻⠀ ⠀ I’m wearing:⠀⠀ @juicebeauty serum foundation⠀⠀ @itcosmetics under eye concealer + used for cut crease⠀ @coverfx bronzer ⠀⠀ @hourglasscosmetics bronzer ⠀⠀ @ofracosmetics blush in shade Mai Tai + highlight in shade Glow Goals (from #nikkietutorialsxofra collab)⠀ @jeffreestarcosmetics #BlueBloodPalette using shade #BlueMonday, #BloodSugarPalette using shades Prick and Coma ⠀ @natashadenona #SafariPalette using shades Aya, Desert Date, Voodoo and Tribe⠀ @makeupaddictioncosmetics shimmering pigment on inner corner in shade Gold Diamond⠀⠀ @lindahallbergcosmetics black eyeliner on top waterline⠀ @rimmellondonus Scandalash mascara⠀⠀ @europeanwax Browfection eyebrow pencil in shade Sand (Light)⠀ #jeffreestarcosmetics liquid lipstick in shade Posh Spice⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #newlook #blueeyes #talcfreemakeup #makeup #beauty #jeffree #coverfx #ofracosmetics #ofraglow #motd #unedited #naturallashes #naturallbrows #beginnermua #aspiringmua #mua #muasupport #mua_underdogs #selftaughtmua #cutcreasemakeup #newmua #blueeyeshadow #colorfuleyeshadow⠀
  • Bright / Classic / Dark 💋⠀ ⠀ Which is your fave?⠀ ⠀ Amidst all that’s gone on this week I needed a grounding activity to make me feel a bit more normal - doing a look I’m comfortable with was my go-to. Today is day 6 of self-quarantine and i just needed to feel pretty - a week of working from home and pushing through more difficult looks at night, just wanted to do a look I could easily predict the outcome vs getting nervous of failing and psych myself out from doing a more challenging look (it’s already happened twice this week 🤦🏼‍♀️). ⠀ ⠀ With my anxiety around everything, I had a small shopping binge last weekend - no beauty buys, but will have plenty of returns from my slip-up 🤦🏼‍♀️ ⠀ ⠀ How are you all hanging in there? ⠀ ⠀ #newlook #blueeyes #talcfreemakeup #makeup #beauty #jeffreestarcosmetics #jeffree #coverfx #hourglasscosmetics #motd #unedited #naturallashes #naturallbrows #beginnermua #aspiringmua #mua #muasupport #selftaughtmua #redlip #redlips #classicredlip #orangelipstick #orangelips #redlipstick #ombrelipstick #ombrelip #ombrelips #everydaymakeuplook #nightoutmakeup #datenightmakeup⠀
  • Not that we really have a choice atm 😷 ⠀ ⠀ Joining the masses of other folks worldwide on the wfh grind starting this week.

  • 💙 on 💙 on 💙 = the new 🖤 on 🖤 on 🖤⠀ ⠀ Still working through the #BlueBloodPalette and liking the looks the more I push through. You know when you have a really rough start on a date and it takes time to recover and regain feelings? That’s me with this palette - I got weirded out from a bad trial run and didn’t find my groove with the palette. Still finding my style but realizing I really love blended out looks with a bit of softness. Striving to push myself to try new things with makeup but definitely feel at home with that style/ technique. ⠀ ⠀ I’m wearing:⠀ @juicebeauty serum foundation in Cream⠀ @itcosmetics under eye concealer in Light⠀ @coverfx bronzers in shades Sunkissed + Suntan + Sunset and blush in Soft Peach⠀ @ofracosmetics highlight in Glazed Donut⠀ @jeffreestarcosmetics Blue Blood palette using shades #BlueBlood as the transition shade + #BlueMonday packed on all over + Undertaker for crease and outer corner shading + Ocean Ice used as shimmering accent along top lash line + Cullinan for highlight on brow bone and inner corner (swipe 👉🏻 for pic of palette with markers on the shades...argh, i forgot to do this so message me if you’re interested in this pic 🤦🏼‍♀️)⠀ @rimmellondonus Scandalash mascara in Blackest Black⠀ #jeffreestarcosmetics liquid lipstick mini in shade Titanic used as eyeliner in my bottom waterline⠀ Jeffree’s liquid lipstick in shade I’m Nude layered with @marcjacobsbeauty Moonglow lipgloss in shade Enamored on lips⠀ ⠀ #blueonblueonblue #newlook #mondayblues #blue #beauty #blueeyes #blueeyeshadow #bluesmoke #bluemakeup #makeupmonday #talcfreemakeup #jeffree #coverfx #ofracosmetics #ofraglow #motd #nightoutmakeup #unedited #funmakeup #naturallashes #naturalbrows #beginnermua #aspiringmua #mua #lowbuy #normalizeskintexture

  • Halo eye look take 2 using wearable neutrals ✨⠀ ⠀ I was discouraged after trying to mirror a bold blue halo eye look last week so I tried out the #haloeyeshadow effect again with neutrals instead and I’m so pleased with how this subtler version turned out! #trytryagain #practicemakesprogress Ok, the eyes are subtle, the lips not but they were fun to do 👻⠀ ⠀ I’m wearing:⠀ @juicebeauty serum foundation⠀ @itcosmetics under eye concealer⠀ @coverfx bronzer ⠀ @hourglasscosmetics bronzer ⠀ @ofracosmetics blush + highlight⠀ @jeffreestarcosmetics Blue Blood eyeshadow palette using shades Priceless, Untouchable, Celebrity Skin, Wealthy, and Crystal Flesh for the center shimmer ✨⠀ @rimmellondonus mascara⠀ #jeffreestarcosmetics liquid lipstick using shades Blue Velvet (matte) and Titanic (metallic sparkle)⠀ ⠀ #halo #haloeye #BlueBloodpalette #bluelips #bluelipstick #boldlips #talcfree #talcfreemakeup #ofracosmetics #unedited #motd #neutraleyeshadow #blueeyes #everydaymakeuplook (minus the lips) #naturallashes #naturalbrows #nightoutmakeup #saturdayvibes #beginnermua #aspiringmua #datenightmakeup #eveningmakeup #ingredientconscious #usewhatyouhave #lowbuy #2020lowbuy
