One of the best parts of blogging since 2008 is connecting with women doing exceptional things. Enter Brandy Gueary, the digital creator behind @Authentically.B and founder of Beauty Disclaimer collection.
While my blog tends to focus mostly on fashion, travel, and home content, I’m huge fan of all things skincare and makeup. Every morning, you’ll find me watching beauty-related YouTube videos as I get ready to learn about the hottest new product drops, tips, tricks, and reviews. Today, I wanted to round-up my current premium makeup favorites. Looking for my drugstore picks? Check out this blog post about my drugstore makeup must-haves.

After turning 40, I started to consider the idea of Botox. Prior to then, I was always nervous about the idea. First, I can’t stand the thought of needles – much less near my face. But additionally, there’s still a negative stereotype associated with the procedure among some people. In fact, some women I know would rather eat a bowl of slugs than admit to anyone they’ve received Botox. Thankfully, the perception is changing, and it’s become more prevalent than ever. Today, I wanted to share my experience and the location for the best Botox Chicago.
Every day, many of us try to achieve our ideal appearance. That look that makes us feel confident and glamorous. Many times, we try to reach our beauty standards through cosmetic products and make-up tricks. But, friends, one of the best ways to look glowing and youthful is not through contouring and Botox—it’s hydration!
I have a daily makeup routine. So, I’m sure most of you do too! Maybe it’s primer followed by concealer followed by foundation. Then contouring, shadow, lip stick, and mascara. Finally, maybe you spritz on a little setting spray. And then, boom! You’re ready for the day.
During the pandemic, I’ve been looking for ways to be more fiscally conservative. Thankfully, we’ve curbed spending in countless aspects of our life. One easy transition to save money was moving from premium to drugstore makeup products.
In the past, I haven’t done a ton of lengthy beauty reviews on Style Charade. Don’t get me wrong – I love love love all things makeup, haircare and skincare. Simply put – few products ever really “wow” me. However, every once in a blue moon, an item becomes an instant classic and I need to share it with you! Enter NARS Light Reflecting Foundation.
Today, I’m excited to share some of our top Amazon purchases so far this year. Prior to 2020, I wasn’t a big Amazon gal (seriously). Yes, Amazon is taking over the world and making things more convenient for consumers along the way. But frankly, I didn’t rely on Prime since I was working and traveling so much. While a fabulous option, I was always on the road and never had a “I need… insert item” right now type of situation.
