Who would have thought that I’d come out of my semi-retirement on the blog to share tips on how to Simplify Your Beauty Routine with Beauty Junkees? Are you giggling yet? When I say that I have had a lot of life changes in the last few months, I start laughing to myself because that is the biggest understatement of the year. In the last 3 months, I started a small business, I entered into the refinance process for the FOURTH time since 2020, I became a grandmother AND I went back to working in the Corporate World again…full time. My life is in shambles…but not in an entirely bad way.
Of course, I haven’t just been locked away in my house, like a hermit with my dogs and cats, typing away on this blog for the last decade. I have been on countless business trips, press trips, personal vacations, and press events in my local city of Miami. But those weren’t EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And like most of the world, I barely left my home for the majority of 2020 due to the COVID Pandemic.
Since I began this new job on June 21st, I have left the house 5 days a week. Not only am I leaving the house and walking into an office with other human beings, my job is literally to sit on video calls with strangers all over the country. For 8 hours a day.

Simplify Your Beauty Routine with Beauty Junkees
EVERYONE SEES ME NOW. Every single day.
You may find it comical, but I feel so….pressured by this.
I am doing my hair. Every day.
Okay, maybe not EVERY SINGLE DAY….but definitely on most days!
I am wearing makeup. Again, almost every day.
I began dying my hair regularly, instead of letting my grays go wild before remembering to buy hair dye. I use a moisturizer at night as well as in the morning. I am taking hair/skin/nail supplements.
I am not necessarily worried about my appearance in general, but I certainly care about how I look and the image I am presenting to the world at large every day.
I’ve never really worn a lot of makeup. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup at all – unless you count Bonne Belle Dr Pepper lip balm – so it wasn’t something I even began experimenting with until my 20s. My hair was much the same, I didn’t know about blow drying, flat irons, salons, hair treatments or hair products until I was in my 20s.
As you can imagine, if you’ve gone through life not wearing makeup, it’s not an easy habit to pick up. There is so much to learn about skin tones, the right products for the right type of skin, blending, blotting, highlighting – it can be very overwhelming!
However, with this new job, and having to be on camera every day, for the first time in my life, I make makeup a part of my morning routine. Every. Single. Morning. That morning makeup routine has been made much easier with the beauty brand, Beauty Junkees!
Check out how to Simplify Your Beauty Routine with Beauty Junkees!
Firstly, I always wear a tinted moisturizer with SPF – not only does it help even out my skin tone, but it helps protect my skin from the sun as well. Our little break spot outside gets a lot of sun, and you bet I am always out there every chance I get to breathe some fresh air!
Now, I used to just literally rub the BB Cream straight onto my face…I had no clue that I was supposed to be using sponges for this! Beauty Junkees has these affordable, easy to use make up sponges that are perfect for BB cream, foundation and the like!
Beauty Junkees Foundation Makeup Sponge Blender
They’re pro quality makeup sponges for ¼ the price of sponges that they’ve been compared to and they are really easy to use and clean.
Are you tired of cakey, stubborn foundation and want a more natural, airbrush-like finish? This is what your makeup routine has been missing! It’s not the makeup; it’s how you apply your makeup.
You can use these Beauty Junkees sponges wet or dry, and these Latex Free makeup blender sponges apply an even, flawless face. Foundation, concealer, setting powder, blush, bronzer – they all go on beautifully.
They are great for prepping the skin with moisturizers, primer and BB creams, which is mostly what I use them for!
As they offer buildable coverage, you can get lighter or heavier coverage depending on how you apply the product, and they absorb very little makeup, so it saves you money too!
Beauty Junkees Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush
The Beauty Junkees Flat top kabuki brush is a great tool for multi-tasking. Most commonly used with liquid foundation to set the canvas, this big flat top makeup brush also works great blending loose and pressed powder, primer, bb cream, and minerals to build coverage, setting your look, and concealing even the most problematic skin type (redness, uneven skin tones, large pores, acneic, dermatitis).
It is truly a must-have makeup case staple! A premium quality foundation brush makes your foundation look more even, consistent, and blended, and lets you build coverage in problem areas. The Beauty Junkees pro quality synthetic bristles are soft, yet just the right density to pick up and distribute liquid foundation evenly.
Buffing and blending, the dense synthetic bristles make your routine quicker, with better coverage that lasts longer. Pro Tip: For light to medium coverage, use a damp makeup sponge blender to stipple your base coverage, then blend with your kabuki brush!
A premium quality foundation brush makes your foundation look more even, consistent, and blended, and lets you build coverage in problem areas. Our pro quality synthetic bristles are soft, yet just the right density to pick up and distribute liquid foundation evenly. Natural synthetic bristles use less product to achieve the desired look. Plus, they’re cruelty free – WOOF!
