Shannon Reed 40+ Beauty

Adding another one to my 40+ Holy Grails because apparently we’re building an entire face at this point!

I’ve tried SO many mascaras over the years, but when I find one that makes my lashes look this good without a bunch of work…I’m keeping it!!

What’s the mascara you swear by? I’m always willing to put a Holy Grail to the test 😜



Milani Cosmetics - HIGHLY RATED LASH EXTENSIONS XL VOLUMIZING TUBING MASCARA

The full DIY brow lamination tutorial! 🙌

I started doing my own about a year ago and honestly don’t know why I waited so long. It’s one of those little beauty things that makes SUCH a difference, and I’d much rather spend my money elsewhere!

I linked the brow lamination kit + everything I used on my Amazon storefront :)

Would you try laminating your brows at home or is this one you’re leaving to the professionals?

5 minute makeup for when you have s**t to do!

This is basically my everyday makeup routine, just sped WAY up. I combine steps, skip anything fussy, and focus on the things that make the biggest difference when I need to look put together FAST.

- Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 - Shade 8
- Smooth Blur Contour Stick - Shadow
e.l.f. - Camo Liquid Blush - Pinky Promisecosmetics - True Skin Concealer - Cool Cashmere

Everything is linked in my LTK in my bio :)

I really tried to pick ONE holy grail blush…and yeah….that’s not happening!

So I narrowed it down to my top 4…Who doesn’t love options 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

They range from drugstore to luxury because obviously I can’t just stay in one lane.

They’re all different, they’re all SO good, and if my makeup bag disappeared tomorrow I’d buy every single one again!

Concealer is next…and that one I actually CAN pick just one. 😜

Products Mentioned:
- Liquid Camo Blush
- Cheek Thrills
- Make Me Blush
- Blush is Life

If you’re trying to be a diy girlie but your press-on nails keep popping off after a few days, your prep might be the problem.

These are the exact steps I use to get mine to last 3+ weeks—and usually I have to use remover to get them off. 😂 Save this for your next set. Everything is 🔗’d on my storefront 💕

Operation: Get Your S**t Together — Episode 6 😂
This week went to s**t. Tomorrow is Monday. You know what that means. 😂
We’re not starting over…we’re just trying again.

**tTogether

Apparently there are enough new faces around here that it was probably time I actually introduced myself 😂

A little beauty, a little real life, a lot of trying to get my s**t together…and apparently buying more makeup than any one person could ever need.

But seriously, I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve genuinely loved getting to know so many women through this little corner of the internet.

So now it’s your turn — tell me something about YOU. Where are you from? How old are you? What are we into? I want to know who I’m hanging out with over here!

Same curling iron, completely different results depending on how you use it. Which one are you picking? If you want me to break down any of these techniques step-by-step, tell me which one and I’ll make it next!
