Get Ready With Me!

Abby shows off her fresh-faced, pink-lipped look

I haven’t done a “get ready with me” video in… have I ever done a “get ready with me” video?!  I put the boys down for a nap and the big kids were happily playing, so I decided to film this little makeup/hair tutorial while I got ready.  I’m actually super impressed that I wasn’t interrupted and I was also ready before 10am… which NEVER happens.  The cherry on top was I made my bed AND put on pants 🙂

Abby uses these Clinique products to achieve her pretty look.

Abby loves her Clinique's Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer.

I’m a little bit obsessed with Clinique’s Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer.  You guys know I don’t have the greatest skin; it’s been a work in progress the last few months.  I’m so happy right now because it’s finally clearing up!!  But I’m really self conscious of it and it’s made me super picky with the foundations I use.  I’ve kept coming back for more with this one because it covers my blemishes so well!!  It’s full coverage but feels light and fresh and it doesn’t settle into any of my creases.  It’s foundation and concealer in one so you can use it all over the face or just to conceal where needed.  Once it’s blended, it just melts into your perfect shade.  If you’ve been looking for a full coverage, matte foundation definitely give this one a try!

You'll shout for joy for these great products.

  1. I’ve been rocking this hairstyle for 2 days now. #1, I didn’t know how to do a boho twist before, and #2, I’ve been stuck in such a mom zone of ponytails that this helped me feel so put together. Thanks Abby!

  2. What shade of foundation do you wear? I always have a hard time finding the right shade for me. They all seem too dark for me.

  3. I’m a total eyebrow girl, have you ever tried elf’s eyebrow kit?? Its my go to for my brows, and I’m wondering how it compares to the Anastasia one everyone raves about! the real bonus – its only like $4! I did buy a different brush, but other then that I love it!

  4. I have super oily skin that is prone to breakouts and have struggled to find the right foundation that works for my skin. I’m definitely going to be giving this one a try! Thanks so much!

  5. Thank you for sharing! I just recently started following your blog, and I have already tried so many of your hairstyles. I love your makeup look, so I was so happy for this post.

  6. Hey, Abby!
    Just curious- have you ever tried the IT cc cream and/or bye bye redness? I’ve been on the hunt for a good foundation since my favorite has been discontinued and my skin has been waging war on me and have been strongly considerin the IT products, I just don’t want to lay out $32+ on a foundation that is great for a few days and then blah

  7. Oh Wow u really look pretty, but one thing i am sure you don’t need to have makeup, u have a charm and glow on ur face that is your true beauty.
    please suggest some hair style for short and volume less hair especially lost after accident.

  8. Love love love!! You are amazing and so inspiring. I am a mom of all boys and am beyond scared of becoming “that mom” you know the one of all boys that looks kinda like a man in her ball cap and basketball shorts with an over size tshirt!! Anyway I love your blog tips and style. You have given me so much direction!
