Fresh and sparkling lids, nude lips and cheeks with minimal products. Here’s my shirt!
I went to a candy store yesterday, and this is the makeup I had on while engaging in a deep discussion with my loved ones about popcorn-flavored jelly beans.
Seriously, why do people get so worked up about popcorn jelly beans? I think they’re absolutely delightful and will go so far as to call them my favorite flavor. everyone else around me thinks they’re gross. Where do you stand on this undoubtedly very crucial MATTER?

(Side note: I didn’t actually end up choosing the jelly beans as my treat though. I went with an old classic instead, the Cadbury Fruit and Nut Bar).
My fave considering that I was a child!
Raise a glass to shimmery champagne shadows
This is a one-and-done eye makeup look with a single shimmery cream champagne shadow stick worn as liner and eyeshadow. If you don’t have one of these already in your makeup arsenal, I highly recommend finding one you like ASAP.
The champagne shade adds brightness and shine to lids, and in my experience, it’s one of those colors that instantly perks up your face, especially if you look like you haven’t been sleeping well (which has been me lately).

If you can find a champagne stick that works as a liner *and* a shadow, then that’s even better. The one I’m using here is a long-wearing one by Lancôme called Ombre Hypnose Stylo in Erika F.

The hourglass Sunset trio
To keep the look easy and fresh, I blended a trio of sheer cream products onto my cheeks. I used the hourglass Sunset Trio, which has a cream bronzer, blush and highlighter, all tucked conveniently into one compact. It used to be part of the permanent collection, but then hourglass discontinued it, and this season they brought it back. It’s expensive at $62, but it’s SO good (here’s a review if you’re interested).
OH, HAI, GORGEOUS!
Then I lined my lips with nude liner and dabbed a peachy pink gloss on top. (Oh, and yes, I ended up blotting the gloss off before I left for the candy store because I didn’t want it to transfer onto my mask).
This look is quick and elegant.

Dunno if I pointed out this, but I’ve been doing a lot of low-impact workouts lately. Low-impact typically doesn’t have any jumping or jarring moves, but that doesn’t indicate that the workouts are low intensity! The really good ones leave me dripping in sweat, like this one by Caroline Girvan. It’s only 30 minutes, but you’re working the entire time, and every part of your body gets up in the mix, so it’s a full-body workout. give it a try, and let me know what you think!
