If you know me then you know I LUUUHHHHVVVVVVV makeup! I have always been fascinated by it! The way you can transform your face, enhance your beauty and even hide a few flaws ( for me it's scars) is nothing short of magical. As you know I am a mom and we kinda have a reputation for not always looking our best. I admit there are days when I don't even brush my hair for the day or I stay in oh so comfy yoga pants.  One thing I always tell my gals, is that they should have a daily look! You don't necessarily have to do it every day, but a simple look that you know you like is the optimal goal.

 When we are overwhelmed with life, home stuff, work stuff or just a stressful week that has you feeling blah, makeup is one simple way to easily lift your spirits. You feel different, you feel motivated, and ready to take on the day. All you need is something simple that you can get down pat so it will always look crisp and flawless...... even if in a hurry!

So here are a few things that you will need to have for your daily look!

  1.  Eye Popping Mascara.- Get one that really gives you lift and volume! 
  2. At least 2-3 different nude lip colors! (gloss, lipstick, pencil) -These three babies will take you to the promise land when you are wanting a clean daily look.
  3. Neutral tone eye shadows.- Browns can go a long way... there are so many different shades of brown out there... you really only need 3 (cool, warm and deep) just make sure you blend baby blend!
  4. Pale blush.- My absolute favorite is Dainty by MAC. It is the perfect shade of dewy pink! 
  5. Light foundation/ powder- Let me be frank..... YOU DON'T WANT A CAKE FACE EVERYDAY! As much as I love a great full coverage, you want to make sure your face is not suffocating... let that thing breathe! If you have something you want to cover then use a tad concealer or correcter.. Plus TOO much makeup can cause breakouts more than usual.
  6. Last but not least...... EYELINER.... if you are going for full on wings like ^^^^^, then go for that always reliable black liner. Just use a liquid with fine brush so it won't look as heavy as something like a gel or pencil. For the waterline, use deep browns or similar to make your eyes pop!

One thing I pride myself on is classic looks. I have a variety of set looks that I do and they are pretty much "classic" or "simple" looks but boy do they make me feel good!

I hope you enjoyed these little tips for everyday makeup! Drop me a pic of your everyday makeup in the comments!!!

Ciao for now!!

So a lot of my friends are childless, and every now and then I can clearly see the difference! I always considered myself as a pretty fashionable person.. and  just because I am a mom, that doesn't mean that I can't dress up a bit! I always loved trying new combos, new styles and looking into different sources of inspiration. I really have eclectic taste, so a lot of my outfits are random and usually "not planned". If it looks good and I feel good in it.... I'm wearing it!

  BTW....I love these jeans! These jeans have pretty much been my "go to" pair. You know those pair of jeans that fit perfect in every way? The color is perfect, the fact that they go with everything, the pair you feel your most confident in? Yea these are those! I honestly wear these jeans once a week. That probably is a bad idea but I LOVE them!

 These jeans are from Forever 21 and I found them hiding on a rack burried behind the early release clothes for fall. It's almost as if they were waiting for me to hunt them down and give them a good home lol.
  I also found this  cardigan and body suit from Forever 21! Although this body suit is comfy and could be used for just about any outfit, I wasn't very happy with the over all quality of the fabric. After one wash it seemed as if the fabric had thinned out and it became a tad see through.. with the right lighting.

  Forever 21 actually has decent finds at good prices (some stuff not so decent). I think overall they have a pretty wide variety for all ages (why else would the store be SO huge), but not so much for all bodies. I don't mind buying something that is marked up $2 more because of it is "plus size", and I don't even mind going all the way to the back of the store. My real only "issue" is that Forever 21 doesn't have enough variety in it's plus size section. S

Sooo, when getting your latest threads at Forever 21, I have one rule for all you plus size gals! 

Try on EVERYTHING!

Everything looks one way on a mannequin and completely different on you! And if you are a mom, you definitely need to try on everything! There were plenty of times I would see something and think, "I can't wear that I'm a mom" or "I cant' wear that my body is not even close to having a shape". But once I seen how I looked and not a picture or mannequin, my mind would change about 90% of the time.
 
  The shoes are Enzo Angiolini  and I got them from Nordstrom. I will be honest, they are not as comfy as they look, but the are actually great quality shoes! I have had these shoes for a few years and they really have stayed in a near perfect condition!


Sooo moral of the story....

Just because you are a mom, plus size or anything in between, you can be hot! 

What is your "go to" mom outfit? Let me know in the comments below!!

My husband truly is my rock. Having him in my life has helped me become a better, stronger and more confident person! I owe him tooo many thanks..... He will always be my true love. We have been married for almost 10 years!

The Mr.
When my husband and I met, it wasn't very "traditional". I was 16 and he was 18 at that time, and social websites were the new thing! It seemed like everyone was catching the social media bug. Long story short, we met on social media. Now days it seems like that's the only option. From Facebook to Match.com and everything in between! So I like to think our relationship was "trendsetting" ;)

We have like many couples had our ups and downs, but nothing can take away from all of the "UPs"! We literally have seen each other at their worst and hardest times......But LOVE and our Faith keep us looking towards our future!

I love this guy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! 

First off I just want to say that I am very excited to share my personal thoughts, experiences and absolute must haves with you! I love sharing and connecting with people from all walks of life! Don't be afraid to leave a comment, ask a question or give advice. I think it is so important to know more than just yourself and I hope that we will get to know each other more! 

Before we get Started.... Let me tell you a bit a bout me and the crazy life I live!
I am 29 years old and I was born and raised in Kansas. I lived there until I graduated high school then I moved to the greatest state on Earth, TEXAS! :) I don't know what it is about Texas but I love it! The warm weather, the tolerable winters and of course the everyday lifestyle here. Texas is a place where you just feel.. home. Moving to Texas was one of the best things I ever did!


Growing up I had so many dreams and goals in life. I probably wanted to do everything a human being could possibly do. Seriously. But as I got older I was able to realize what my dreams were and what a fantasy was. In a fantasy, you imagine all types of crazy things... things you think you want but actually don't care or don't strive to accomplish it. For example one thing I always wanted to do was drive a race car. I always thought that the speed was fascinating, so I talked about how cool it would be but I never pursued it. So that made it a fantasy. 


Now my dreams.. my dreams I'm living or pursing!




I am a stay at home mom and have been one for 8 years, a dream that would always seem impossible when I first got married. But after time, prayer and following what I believe to be God's way of life, I finally was able to live out that dream. To meet the kiddies click  HERE!



Another dream was to marry my best friend.. well we weren't best friends at first but we became best friends. If you ask any married couple they would say that is one of the best feelings in the world. I have been blessed to be a wife for almost 10 years to an amazing husband. He may not be a stereotypical "awesome" husband but he does what matters to me and our family. He really is such a great guy! To meet the hubby click HERE!



And now a little more about ME..

I consider myself a woman of all things AMAZING lol. I love fashion and beauty and within the past few years, I have become more and more health cautious. I have always loved working out and being very active, but like many people, it has been a struggle that I have hated but also have learned to LOVE!!  
I studied fashion at The Academy of Art University and I completed 2 1/2 years before I decided to take another path in fashion. At my time at AAU, my husband and I were expecting baby #3 and it really became too over whelming for me. I was studying Design and designing is no walk in the park. Everything must me perfect and time, a lot of time to practice perfecting it. So I decided that maybe the design aspect was not in the cards for me (at least not now) and I began my journey as a stylist. I still get the same feeling of "awe" when I see new collections or someone tells me they love the look I helped them with.  I also studied acting at KD Actors Conservatory in Dallas. Acting is another one of my passions, as well as photography, makeup and event planning.
Not to mention I also have my own business as well.... told you i live a crazy life!

But all in all... My life is one big event and I can't wait to share it with you!
I love hearing from people! If you have questions, comments or would like to share something, send me an email to brigette@bybrigettedanielle.com !
So now that you know a little about me, I hope you enjoy your visit!
Ciao - Brigette Danielle
