Jenn’s Skincare Regimen: QUARANTINE Edition

Just a couple posts ago, I shared my latest skincare regimen. I felt so accomplished for putting together the perfect formula of products for maximum skin glow.

Yeah, I’m not doing all that now. And you know, my skin is still looking pretty good.

Since working from home, I’ve scaled down all routines. I barely leave the house these days, thereby limiting my exposure to pollutants to my skin, and consequently I need less stuff on my face. That could be true, right? More likely, it’s laziness.

So here’s the late breaking news on my skincare.

Spring 2015: Makeup in the Nudes (Step-by-step)

I’m working on a new “What’s New in Foundation” post, and while I was trying on my first sample, I thought, why not share with you a step-by-step makeup look for the spring. Coincidentally, all the major shades are named some version of “nude”, a great fresh palette for this transitional weather period.

It’s not something I would use every day, but it looks great for a more jazzed up look, and it looks especially fabulous in photos.

A cult favorite highlighter that I have used and is great is Benefit High Beam.  It comes in a nail polish like bottle, and you simply dot it on your cheekbones and blend with your fingertips. However, it’s not inexpensive, especially for something I won’t use very often. But then, I was wandering the make-up aisles at Target and found this!

e.l.f. Shimmering Facial WhipIt’s e.l.f. Essential Shimmering Face Whip.  It comes in multiple shades; Target carried Spotlight and Lilac Petal, and I purchased both. And you know what the best tadalafilhome part is? Each tube is only $1. ONE. DOLLAR. For reals.

The Good: It achieves that dewy, light-bouncing effect that a good highlighter does for you. And my goodness, you just can’t beat that price. Plus, it’s a small tube, so you could just keep it in your purse and apply for a day to night make-up transformation after work. Continue reading
