What I Got Wednesday: Thank you so much to @romand

Tattoo Tuesday: This past holiday weekend brought

Tattoo Tuesday:
This past holiday weekend brought me and @silsetham to Gulf Shores, Alabama to visit friends and, of course, I couldn’t not look into getting a tattoo added to my travel sleeve! I did a bit of research before going, just in case I would have time, and found that not only did @theempiretattoo take walk-ins on weekends in the summer, they were incredibly highly rated - can’t get any better than that combination! Unfortunately, I arrived on Friday at 12:30pm and they had 15 people in front of me and I just couldn’t wait. Thankfully, I had time to go back on Sunday, arrived promptly when they opened at 12pm and I was the first (and only for over an hour) in line!

Whenever I look into a shop where I’ll be walking in, I always have a couple of artists I hope will be working that day and available when it’s my turn - even though I know not to get my hopes up because what are the chances of that, right?! Well, apparently luck was on my side because I fell in love with tattoosbyleif’s portfolio while scrolling the shop’s Instagram page and he happened to be the one to do my tattoo! I chose to go with the camellia flower, as it’s Alabama’s state flower and he absolutely killed the design! I am so happy I chose to go back in because this may be my favorite travel tattoo yet! If you find yourself anywhere near this shop, you have to stop in!

If you have been thinking about getting a tattoo while traveling, go for it! It’s an experience you’ll never forget!

Thursday Thoughts: After watching @glamlifeguru’

Thursday Thoughts:
After watching @glamlifeguru’s Best Drugstore Makeup of 2022 YouTube video, I instantly added the @lorealusa Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Bronzer (normally $15.99 for .31 ounces, but only $13.59 when you use code MAKEUP15 AND you can stack that offer with the current BOGO 50% off AND there is currently a free gift with purchase when you spend $20+ on @lorealusa products - https://rstyle.me/+l6A2joXAwLw5QrbcSEb7IA)!

⭐️ Use code MAKEUP15 to get 15% off all makeup on @ultabeauty’s website: https://rstyle.me/+pPL5W-5o4BI89l4ctCg5dg ⭐️

What it claims:
🔘 Gives skin bronzed, sun-kissed dimension
🔘 Heat proof, waterproof, sweat-proof, & transfer-proof
🔘 Lightweight & natural looking for up to 24HR wear

My verdict?
This is a total winner! I purchased the shade 300 Light Medium and it works so well on me - without or without self tanner. If my self tanner is fresh, I could probably use 350 Medium because it's not overly pigmented and can be easily layered. In total, this comes in eight (8) shades. It blurs the areas of my face where I apply it, looks sunkissed and not too orange or cool-toned, and lasts hours upon hours! If you have been looking for a new powder bronzer, regardless of price point, this is the one you should purchase! It's perfect for beginners because you don't have to use a super light hand, but is also great for experts because it does the job very well and you can get it to whatever opacity you want!

What’s Empty Wednesday: 🔘 @mariobadescu Gentl

Try Out Tuesday: #YENSAgiftedme their @yensabeauty

Must Have Monday: We just got back from several da

Must Have Monday:
We just got back from several days in the Cayman Islands and, aside from a small area on my back and shoulders where I was unexpectedly outside for 30 minutes without prepping my skin ahead of time, I returned to the states with zero sun damage and that’s because of the @koparibeauty Sun Shield Body Glow Broad Spectrum SPF 50 ($39 for 5.1 ounces at @ultabeauty - https://rstyle.me/+Loz-66VZXNjEqnUGdPLJ0g)!

What it claims:
🔘 SPF 50
🔘 Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
🔘 40 minute sweat and water-resistant
🔘 Luxurious and lightweight gel texture
🔘 Applies on clear, absorbs well into skin, non-greasy, and will not stick
🔘 Easy, mess-free application
🔘 A blend of SPF protection, superfood oils, antioxidants and natural pearlescent minerals for safe sun protection and a hydrated glow
🔘 Infused with Kopari’s signature sweet coconut milk scent
🔘 Clinically-tested, non-irritating, and allergy-tested
🔘 Clean, vegan, and cruelty-free
🔘 100% recyclable

My verdict?
There is so much I love about this product! The hydration, the scent, the glow, the sun protection - all combined, it is like no other sunscreen I’ve ever tried! If you have a darker skin tone, you may enjoy the Rose Gold version more (https://rstyle.me/+da1VL49t_xiUEIHCWbS1qQ). Where I disagree slightly are the mess-free, non-greasy claims. It’s nothing I wouldn’t expect from a product like this, but to say you basically won’t feel like anything is on your skin is a little bit of a stretch. Also, the price for the amount of product you need to use to cover all exposed areas of your body isn’t ideal. I used this for four (4) days, applying twice on a couple of those days and you can see how much I used. While I would love for this to become the only body sunscreen I use, I can’t afford to, so I plan to use just this on special occasions and then I’ll mix it with another sunscreen on regular days so that I still get the glow and hydration, but, that way, I’ll be able to make it last much longer!

What I'm Wearing Wednesday: I ordered several dres

What I'm Wearing Wednesday:
I ordered several dresses ahead of my spring work travel season and this one was definitely one of my favorites from the few I kept!

Outfit details:
🔘 Dress: @altardstate Maria Maxi Dress
⚫️ Even though I only ordered this less than two (2) months ago, it appears to no longer be available! Here are a few options with similar top halves because that's what I love most about this dress! If it ever comes back in stock, I will be sure to let everyone know! Also, if it ever comes back in any color other than the Sage I already own, I'll be buying those, too!
⚪️ https://rstyle.me/+eBaLp4dezA0lIGe2z-OUyw
⚪️ https://rstyle.me/+Ttev9cZPbIqCAYyKkcgQKw

🔘 Shoes: @aerosoles Clovis Banded Slide Sandal in Gold-Toned Faux Leather (normally $79, but varying prices for a variety of colors - https://amzn.to/435rfNG)
⚫️ I wear these shoes all the time, so I probably should get another color so that I have some variety in my outfit posts! They’re comfortable and work for many different occasions!
