Everyday should be a spiffy day!
Looking for a faux glow has never been so easy.
Whether it’s a mousse, water, oil, or drops there are plenty of ways to achieve that sun-kissed look without having to pay a hefty price.
Take a look at my segment from last week, then get to West Town Mall and get your glow on!
You’ll want to live life there (get it?…on “the edge”)
It doesn’t matter how many reviews you read, or how many YouTube videos you watch, there is nothing like going and shopping for things in person. Touching the product, even trying it out. Hearing from a LIVE person why it will or won’t help your skin type. It’s just such a more personalized experience – no clicking required.
Which is why I’m thankful Dillard’s has the beauty experience called “The Edge.” Located inside their beauty department, The Edge features a number of brands that are hard to find anywhere else in person, and great customer service by people who are makeup freelancers on the side – so they know.
My favorite part is they offer classes and training! Yes please! A lot of the tips and tricks I’ve learned came from good ole’ fashion classes in the mall. Years ago MAC offered them periodically and I learned A LOT by going to those. In fact I use a lot of those same tips today!
They have one coming up on August 27th that is at two different times – one in the mid-morning and one in the afternoon. The cost is $45 – but that goes towards buying makeup – which you’re going to want to do after hearing how to use everything and how certain products can help you look and feel your best.
Go check out the Edge and say hello to Aryn (pronounced Erin), Marissa, or Audrey! They are all super nice and will be happy to help!
In the summer, the only thing I want to feel on my lips is cold gelato.
Rubbing gelato on your lips instead of lipstick is pretty messy and doesn’t produce the perfect pout, turns out….”hypothetically”.
So my pout was pretty pumped when the women at Bare Minerals in West Town Mall told me that there was a moisturizing matte lipstick coming out.
Moisturizing AND matte?! It must be witchcraft!
Nope. It’s just science and the brains behind Bare Minerals.
In my past experience with matte lipsticks I would end up feeling my lips after a while. Like someone had just applied false eyelashes to them – you know that feeling of being aware of every blink when you first put them on? That’s it.
And on top that, the color would wear off like I had some kind of medical issue on my mouth.
This new liquid matte lipstick is amazing. It glides on (a little goes a long way), it stays on nicely and if you get a shade that’s a little bit pinker than your skin tone it looks like you’ve got soft Victoria Secret model lips.
The shade I’m wearing is “Swag” and oh, did I mention that this was 3 hours after I applied it during which time I worked out OUTSIDE. I’m just going to step away now and let you buy some for yourself…
Cover up Buttercup.
This time of year, I become “that mom.” The lady that tracks you down and slathers you with SPF before you can say, “Let’s go outsi…” Which is why when I saw someone talk about this product on an Insta Story, I swiped up immediately and put it in my cart.
Sure my moisturizer and primer include SPF, but that’s not enough! And even if it were, you have to reapply, which means you can either run home redo your entire face, OR just buy this. Your choice.
It’s a wonderful mist/spritz that’s going to protect your skin and allow you to confidently be outside in direct sunlight without doing damage. Also? It’s not going to alter your makeup.
I bought the 1 oz. version so I can throw it in my bag and go. This time of year, you never know when you’re going to be outside for a long period of time (last night I went for a spontaneous walk!). Having this always in my bag gives me peace of mind. Not to mention the fact that I don’t have to rub anything but can spray and go – taking all of 5 seconds to protect my skin. I’ll even use it on other body parts real quick, not just my face.
Something is better than nothing!
You can pick that up at Sephora. I don’t think that smaller version is available on Amazon right now, but the larger one is.
Sun care is SO IMPORTANT. A lesson I wish I would have learned in my 20’s. *Whaaa Whaaaaa So don’t be 20-year-old me and buy this stuff already!
