Root Make Up

I wanted to share about my journey with Root make up. Root is company based out of Waverly, Iowa (my hometown, woot!) that makes all natural, gluten free, vegan, mineral make up - free of toxins and fillers. About 1 year ago, I started using Root products and I have not gone back since. Not only are they affordable, they make my skin feel amazing. I have truly been impressed by this company and their products and the new ones they continue to make. They also have some adorable marketing and that is always a plus for me!

A few months back- Root announced they were having their 2016 Root Model Search on instagram. They were looking for 1 Spokesmodel and 10 Root Models to represent them on instagram and share about their products. I decided to enter into the contest with my selfies and give it a shot. I have never taken so many selfies in my life...seriously. This contest was intense and took a couple months with 6 rounds to narrow down the search. Starting with around 500 entries and finishing with 11 ladies. I feel so honored to share with you that I was chosen as 1 of the 10 Root Models. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to represent such an amazing company that does not sacrifice quality in their products.

Below are some of my photos used for the contest and my video for the final round. You can also see my tutorial video here. I had a lot of fun being creative with these videos and had to quickly teach myself how to edit in imovie.

So what does a Root model do?

I share my root selfies on my personal instagram, post about products a few times a week and sometimes get to work on extra specials projects. (like Root Valentines)
This has been so fun and a natural process for me as it's easy to share about things I love.

If you are interested in trying Root make up you can find their products at Rootpretty.com. Check out their Pretty Blog where they share tips on Root products and feature different make up tutorials. They also have some awesome videos showing their make up color swatches. (especially helpful if you are looking for a certain color)
