Everything in my makeup bag

October 16, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 17 Comments

Beauty has never been one of those things that came natural to me! I never was taught, to be honest! My mom was that gorgeous woman that only required a splash of foundation and a little red lipstick! She was/ is flawless! I remember being in middle school, I started shaving my eyebrows and penciling them in with a black pencil, followed by a little black eyeliner on the upper and lower lids! LOL…. moving on to high school, stepping away from the black eyeliner and doing loads of white eyeliner instead… cute! Somewhere along the line I was introduced to Sephora and MAC which brings me to today. 
 It is national beauty month so I wanted to share a little about what is in my make up bag! I keep it just as simple now as a I did then!! Here’s what I got:

 1) Lancome 24 hour wear foundation

2) MAC Studio fix powder

3) NYX full coverage concealer

4) NYX Brown brow pencil

5) Anastasia of beverly hills dip brow

6) Urban Decay Half Baked eye shadow

7) Maybelline “one by one volume express”

8) 3 lipsticks: “Infrared” by Smashbox, “Diva” by MAC, “Black Magic” By Dolce and Gabbana

9) Viva La Juicy perfume

10) Blush ” Gleeful” by MAC

 That is it! Nothing more, nothing less! Simple simple! I am all about quick and easy with my makeup routine! What’s in your makeup bag?! 

My non negotiables a right here:

• “Infrared” by Smashbox, MAC studio fix powder, Lancôme 24 hour wear, NYX concealer, Anastasia of Beverly Hills dip brow  
Sunday makeup right before leading worship 🙂

    It sounds like you’re producing difficulties yourself by attempting to solve this problem rather than seeking at why their can be a difficulty inside very first place

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.

If you haven’t listened yet, this is your sign.
