a beauty uniform: lauren
i have been so inspired
by the blog, a cup of jo {love everything about it} but one of the things that inspires me most is how
she promotes and encourages women to be themselves- to be confident,
creative, independent and beautiful. to just be who you are. she has a series called
beauty uniform– where women share their beauty routines; the ins and
outs to be a woman. personal fashion, skin care, make-up, hair, perfumes, etc. all
things up my alley. when i say i could spend hours in sephora- i mean
it. i love everything about being a woman and decided to encourage my readers/sponsors to examine
their own beauty routines- their own personal ‘beauty uniform.’ today i am so excited to share my very first
one with you- the absolutely stunning and sweet lauren of sincerely lo – who will be
sharing her lovely beauty uniform with you. enjoy! she is precious.

My morning routine starts by my alarm getting off at 6am.
I walk right into the restroom and grab my Clean & Clear Morning
Burst facial cleanser. This face wash wakes me right up and makes my
skin feel so fresh! Afterwards, I will do my quick makeup routine to
make my face appear somewhat awake. I will run into my closet, grab some
comfortable yet professional clothes for work, kiss my husband off to
work, grab a quick vanilla mocha from Starbucks and walk into my
workplace by 7am.

Two
of my go-to lipsticks are Loreal Colour Riche and Maybelline lipstick. I
am always open to trying new lipsticks with bold colors so any
recommendations would be much appreciated!

I
would have to highly recommend everyone trying some Desert Essence
Organic Jojoba Oil. One of my best friends recommended this to me and
its WONDERFUL for a face, body and hair moisturizer. Your skin will feel
so incredibly soft and the oil will absorb better than a lotion. Plus,
its all natural!

For
my hair, I use SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo
and conditioner. Not only will this make your hair smell so incredible,
but its leaves such a texture and soft feeling.

Clinique
Acne Solutions foundation: I use this for the texture and coverage of
the foundation. Even if you dont have acne, it is a wonderful
fulmination! Plus, it prevents any future breakouts.
Sephora Kabuki foundation brush: This brush works wonders. Your makeup will go on smooth and will keep your face very clean.
Maybelline powder: I put on very, very, very little powder so a little compact powder does the trick!
ELF blush: Again, not a huge blush fan so a quick and easy blush will work.
Maybelline Rocket Volume Express mascara: I love any and all mascara but this one seems to never let my lashes down.
Maybelline Line Stiletto liquid eye liner: I only wear eyeliner on the
top of my eye and this liner seems to give a beautiful line that has yet
to smudge on me.
Loreal Colour Riche Ruby Flame lipstick: This is hands down my favorite
lipstick shade. I love trying bold colors that really make a statement.
The only downfall I have about this lipstick is that is has a tendency
to smudge.

Right
now my signature scent would have to be Beautiful Day from Bath &
Body Works. It is a wonderful Spring scent that will make you want the
lotion, perfume, body wash and travel spray 🙂 Other scents I have
enjoyed are Poppy Blossom from Coach and Victorias Secret Tease perfume.

My
favorite Pandora station. Hmmm, that is a hard one. I am someone who
loves all types of music so my top ones would have to be Bethel, Kenny
Chesney, City and Colour and Maroon 5.

Oh
how I am a girl who only wants a shower! Seriously, my house could have
no bathtub and I would be totally fine. I have always hated baths
because to me, I feel like I am laying in my own dirt from the end of
the day. There is nothing more relaxing than turning on my music and
just being in a steaming shower 🙂

The
biggest thing I learned from my mom and grandmother growing up was to
always be confident in myself. We live in a world where girls are
constantly criticized for not being good enough, fit enough, pretty
enough. Its so easy to get caught into believing this lie. But we have
to remember that we were beautifully and wonderfully made by our Perfect
Creator!

I guess I never realized how quick it was Joey haha! I always make sure to plan my outfits the night before, have my bags ready to go and it is a huge bonus that I live about seven minutes from my work, and Starbucks is right on the corner next to my work. Not many props for me 🙂
