We usually stick to our light pinks and whites on our nails, but the fall is a fun time to switch out our nail colors. We could literally spent hours on Pinterest looking at nail colors, and let’s just say, now we want a manicure with every single one of these colors!
In case you missed our last episode of An Extra Dose, you can listen to that here!
A little about this episode:
On this episode of An Extra Dose Podcast, Samantha and Alexis are talking about how to deal with a friendship breakup and their tips on how to get through them. They also share ways they meet new friends. The Belbel sisters talk about their current workout routine, and why they switched to lower intensity workouts. Their favorites include books they have read recently.

We are all about a quick and easy makeup look! We all want glowy, and luminous makeup, so we tried out a few products recently that we really liked and wanted to share them with you!
Multi-Color Eyeshadow Palette
We think luminous makeup starts with your eyes. Eyes are the focal point on any faces, so we love highlighting our eyes with this Bobbi Brown Essential Multi-Color Eyeshadow Palette. It has a bunch of different shades that you can layer, so you can make them as intense as you want to.
We love applying a neutral shade across our lids, and then a deeper shade on top. Then we sometimes will smudge darker shades in the crease and lash lines, and under our bottom lashes.
We also will add shimmery shades to accent and highlight, which gives you that luminous look!
Matte Revolution Lipstick
We love a good neutral lip, so this Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick is one of our favorites in this “Pillowtalk Color”. It makes your lips appear fuller and we love that it leaves your lip soft, with a nice finish.
We also love this Fresh Sugar lip balm because it is super hydrating and also protects your lips from the UV rays.
Magic Away Concealer
Everyone needs a good concealer for even, luminous skin. This one leaves your skin looking flawless, and lasts for up to 15 hours. It is also water-resistant, so that is a major plus! This one is also paraban-free, fragrance-free, and alcohol free. We have the #4 shade.
Illuminator
Whether you use a primer, foundation, or illuminator, you want something that leaves your skin looking luminous and glowy. This NARS Illuminator is great to apply all over your face, or use it as a highlighter. We also love mixing it with foundation for an all-over dewy look.
Our favorite is the “orgasm” color.
We found all of these luminous beauty products at Nordstrom. They carry all of our favorite products and shopping with them is the best. You can order all of your items online, and then pick them up the same day curbside! They also offer free returns and shipping, which always helps.
We wear white jeans all of the time, and we love finding new ways to wear them. This pair of white jeans is so comfortable and stretchy, so you will never be uncomfortable in these. We also love that these have a small hole in one of the knees, so it is not too many rips, but the perfect amount!
For reference, we are size 25 short in these, and these are marked down often, so they’re a no brainer! We wear these with casual outfits, and also dress them up.
We love these grey booties because they’re pointed, so they’re flattering and make your legs look longer. We have a size 7 in these for reference. You can wear these with leggings or dresses, too!
This grey tote bag coms in a few other colors, and is a great carry-all bag. It can be used for work, travel, or just every day. This one is under $70, so it is a great buy!
All of these cute accessories, which are perfect to transition into fall with, are from Sole Society. We love their booties, which are almost always under $100. Their bags, especially this tote bag, are vegan. They really have the best pieces that will last you years!
We may be crazy, but we shave our legs every.single.day. I know a lot of women don’t shave their legs often, but we have to have smooth, shaved legs, or we just feel “gross”, haha. That means, we go through A LOT of razors, and are always on the hunt for a good one!
why do razors cost so much?
We found these Billie razors and body care products, and fell in love with them, so we had to share them with you all! They are award winning, and we can see why. First off, they cost less, which is always a plus for anyone, and they give you the smoothest shave! We had no idea that women’s razors typically cost 10-15% more than men’s razors, for no reason.
So, basically, Billie has removed that “pink tax”, and priced their razors at a more fair price point!
what is so great about these razors?
Besides these razors being more affordable, these razors have five sharp blades, so you get a really close shave. The blades are encased in a charcoal shave soap. ALSO! they come in super fun, bright colors. We chose the “dream pop ” color. The Billie starter kit comes with two razor cartridges, and replacement cartridges that are sent to you frequently, depending on how often you shave.
Talk about convenient!
what do you use during and after shaving?
Of course, when you’re shaving, you need some good products to get that close, smooth shave, and some for after shaving!
We love their Shave Cream, Sudsy Body Wash, and Dry-Bye Body Lotion. All of them are free of parabens and sulfates, have no synthetic fragrances, and are never tested on animals! They are also vegan, non-gmo, and gluten free. They also smell AMAZING!
The shave cream gives you a super smooth shave, and has aloe vera, sage, shea butter, and grapefruit in it!
The body lotion is really moisturizing and nourishes your skin. We love that it has grape seed, chamomile, aloe vera, and shea butter in it as well.
Our favorite is the Sudsy Body Wash that also doubles as a shaving cream. It smells like grapefruit and also has coconut, aloe vera, and rosa canina.
We are the queens of online shopping, and are pretty sure we are not alone in that regard! It is pretty rare if we go to a physical store to shop anywhere, haha. Even if we run out of something super simple, we will find a way to order it online. Of course, we will only do that if we can get it quickly!
We wanted to share some our favorite drugstore beauty buys that we use on a daily basis, and the best part is: you can get them all NEXT DAY at Walmart!
The best part is it is free, and there is no membership needed, unlike other next day shipping programs. All you have to do is enter the NextDay Mode on your phone on Walmart.com, and you’ll see all of the items you can get.
First up, is dry shampoo. MAJOR MUST! We use this on a daily basis, and this Batiste one is a great drugstore buy, and works on all hair types. You can use it to freshen up dirty hair, or create more volume in your roots.
Another hair product we use a lot is this L’oreal Magic Root Cover Up. We have grey roots, so we rely on this to cover up our greys in between root touch-ups! We have the “dark brown” color.
All you do is spray your roots, and in a matter of seconds, you have concealed roots that wont smudge. The color lasts until your next wash, and is free of ammonia, peroxide, and synthetic dyes.
For skincare, we swear by these Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes. These are the best for removing makeup, and aren’t irritating on your skin at all. They can remove all makeup, including eye makeup, and waterproof makeup, too! They are also free of alcohol.
This Dickinsons’ witch hazel is a great toner for your skin. We use it after we cleanse our face and it helps to maintain clear and balanced skin. This one is all natural, and helps to remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue, without drying out your skin.
Next up: teeth! We get so many questions about what we use to keep our teeth white and fresh. This Colgate Optic White toothpaste has been our go to for years. We love that it helps keep our teeth white. We recommend using this twice a day, at least!
Flossing is VERY important, and we love these Oral-B Glide flossers. These are great because they fit in between even tighter teeth, and easy throw in your bag!
For moisturizing your skin, we love this CeraVe moisturizing cream. We love this brand because it is fragrance-free and very gentle on skin, so it is good for any skin type, especially those with sensitive skin or eczema.
This L’oreal Lash Paradise mascara is one of our favorites. We use this one on our bottom lashes and love that it gives our lashes volume and lasts all day! Also great for all lashes, but we have lash extensions.
PS- shipping is free if you spend $35 or more, so basically it is a no brainer!
