Your Sassy FLo

Makeup can be quite pricey, especially if you are (or become) a makeup junkie! Here are some tips to help you save a few bucks: The obvious... Check out the SALE section. Items that are seasonal will likely go on sale after the season is over. Also, discontinued items are likely to be found in the sale section, just don't get too attached to those, as they'll be hard or impossible to find once the remaining the stock is sold. P.S. I hear that Sephora places their most expensive items at eye-level, so try looking at the lower shelves to see what you find! :) Shop discount sites, like HauteLook and Beauty Encounter . If you're okay with purchasing gently used products, look into resale sites, such as  MUABS . Most of the sellers are artists just trying to get rid of excess makeup. You can sanitize products with isopropyl alcohol, like Alcone  (which is recommended for beauty products), or use products made specifically for sanitizing makeup, like those fro...

Not only will it help reduce the puffiness, but it'll help your concealer go on smoother and avoid creasing. Find a moisturizer with SPF . You may think you don't need a moisturizer, but once you start washing your ...

Sassy is defined by Google as  lively, bold, and full of spirit.  Those are attributes I want us to have in common. Through this blog, I hope to help you find YOUR sassy flow.  Image from Google I'm sure you noticed that "flow" isn't spelled correctly in my blog title, so this is a good time to introduce myself... My name is Francelin Lopez. (See it?) I was inspired by my fellow Latina and Bronx native, Jennifer Lopez (JLo), to use FLo as an alias. However, I don't prono unce it ef-lō... I pronounce it "flow". (Yes, like the Progressive girl.) Why "flow" and not  ef-lō ? Because it pairs well with the one word my husband chooses to describe me by... Sassy! Apparently my sassiness just "flows". ;) (Moving on...)  I am 35 years young and a mother, wife, and dog owner.  I decided to write  Your Sassy Flo  because I believe that your uniqueness should be portrayed in as many ways as possible, in particular ...
