Prized Product: Hurraw! Balm

Hurraw Balm lineup

Hi! Remember me? I’m Jenn, and I’m the founder/owner of this blog. Yea, I know, it’s been a LOOOONG while since you’ve heard from me. It’s not that I don’t have lots of great beauty products and topics I want to write about. I’ve just struggled to make Beautypendence a priority. At my day job, we’re starting a new fiscal year, so let’s call it my new year resolution to bring more beauty goodness to you, my Beautypendents.  Continue reading

Judicial Review: Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm in Truffle Kiss

If you’re a frequent reader, you may notice that I’m currently in a trying-out-new-lip-makeup phase. With the hotness of Texas summer, it’s tough to get motivated about trying new anything on my eyes, face or cheeks. For the past few months, I’ve been going sans foundation. For my Beautypendents living in this heat and humidity, you know what I’m talking about. Lip color is a fair compromise for a makeup fanatic in sweat-inducting weather.

Always a sucker for a new, buzz-worthy drugstore brand product, I just had to try Almay’s new Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm. Kate Hudson loves it, and she wouldn’t lie to us, right?

Tis the season for trying new things here on Beautypendence! For this Judicial Review, I welcome two guest Judges, Debbie and Christine. Wait… let me back up a little.

The good folks from Badger stumbled upon our humble blog and contacted us. They were interested in sending us some of their organic body care products for a test run. Umm, yeah! So one day, I received a box full of Badger goodies in the mail. First on the Badger line-up is Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balm. As you can see from the product photo, I received three different flavors, so why not share?

Jenn’s Five-Minute Face: Summer Edition

As I’ve gotten older, I am stricter about how I look when I leave the house to be seen out in public. Unless I’m heading to the gym or a quick run to the grocery store, I am wearing some kind of outfit that’s been given some consideration with a face with some makeup. But it is hot in Texas, so I don’t like to wear foundation every day. Here is my summertime five-minute made-up face.
