Wanna make money just by wearing makeup?  How many times has this sentence flooded your inbox, timelines, and news feeds? Cosmetic direct sales companies are countless - some of which have been around for half a century or more, but more and more seem to pop up daily. Popularity of these companies usually depends greatly on the area or region. One company could be a leader in the Southern Middle Tennessee area due to over-saturation of consultants, while another larger compan

So it seems like most of the products I'm receiving to review here lately are moisturizers, which is fine by me... I can never get enough moisture! So bear with me as we review each and every one. I try to use the product for a minimum of one week and when I find a favorite, it's hard to skip to the next. My last review covered a Youth To The People anti-aging face cream, and I used every single drop before moving on to the next moisturizer. It's going to be hard to follow th

I’m baaaaaaaaaaack with another product review for you lovely readers! FYI: I strive to make sure that each and every review on the blog is accurate and honest. I’m currently sitting on about 200 products ready to be tested and reviewed - I try EVERY. SINGLE. PRODUCT. that is covered on the jb.beauty report. This isn’t just a copy and paste review or a researched “here’s what the people say about it.” I hope this encourages you to read these reviews and take them for what the

It's that time of year... Hot chocolate, puffy parkas, your favorite winter boots, and snowflakes all around. (Okay, so if you're in Middle Tennessee like me, we're lucky to get 2-3 "snows" a year, but a girl can dream, right?) With all of these glorious wintry activities, there are a few not-so-glorious cons to come along with it. One of my biggest winter woes? Dry skin... and nails... and hair... I HATE it, but I've found a few beauty goodies to fix these dry skin blues.

Hey friends! Welcome to 2018... Can you believe we are getting close to the first month being over?! I feel like we were just popping the bubbly for the midnight countdown! One of my projects for 2018 (not resolutions, projects... they seem to have more of a beginning and end when being referred to as projects, while the word "resolution" seems like more of a forever word to me. It's a little too daunting, too much pressure. Projects are done on YOUR schedule at YOUR time.) w

So, I know what you’re probably thinking. EVERYDAY glam? Oxymoron much? But there’s simply not a better way to describe it! There are women who feel most comfortable and confident without makeup on, some with a little makeup on, and those like me who love a completely full face of makeup. No matter your preference, I’ll show you some of my favorite products to help you get glammed up and out the door every day! Even though I love a full face of makeup, that doesn’t mean that

We braved the bitter January cold for a shoot with Arden Beth Photography downtown Dallas last weekend. After booking my annual Texas New Year trip, I sought out one of my favorite North Texas photographers, Arden Beth. I KNEW I had to shoot with her after stumbling upon her work online. Her photography speaks for itself, but she’s one of the sweetest, kindhearted women I’ve ever had the joy of meeting. She was down to shoot, explore and play... oh, all while capturing some s

So everyone's favorite season is right around the corner.... FALL! You know what this means... Chunky sweaters, pumpkin spice everything (sorry, revoke my basic white girl card cause pumpkin spice anything is 100% disgusting - y'all can just keep that), football and most importantly, FALL HAIR. You know, the kind with caramel lowlights, deeper shadow roots, and the time comes for you to finally revert back from your southern California beach bunny blonde back (say that 3 time

When it comes to makeup, I have a few requirements. The first on the list - brows! An otherwise perfectly-executed makeup look can fall flat without brow shaping and grooming, OR if you're running behind in the mornings after hitting snooze a few too many times, a great brow can carry your whole look. Today's trends include light filling, a defined arch, and a brightened brow bone. The key to capturing these trends lies within the products. Techniques are often complex, hard

I'm a tough sell when it comes to lip products. I have old favorites & simply not easily swayed, so when Bite Beauty sent me a lip kit with The Lip Pencil in 020 and 044 & Amuse Bouche Lipstick in honeycomb and whiskey - I was a skeptic. Nudes are always my go-to for lip colors, so I started with the 020/honeycomb combo & was instantly impressed. The pencil glides on smooth and pigmented with a creamy, but medium coverage texture that's not too waxy or too drying. It's a neut
