HOW are you guys!? It’s May 9th and I haven’t posted a blog since LAST MONTH. Where the heck has the time gone?! It’s almost SUMMER, ya’ll! Which is why we’ll be talking about my new Summer Makeup that I HAVE to share with you…but first, a few life updates, shall we?
In April I decided it would be a good idea to go to Coachella AND Stagecoach. Hello, am I in college again or something? It was SO much fun but literally knocked me out.
Coachella is mentally and emotionally exhausting because I went for work and it was all about the outfits and “getting the shot;” and Stagecoach was physically exhausting because I’m a Mexican Jumping Bean when I dance and by the end of it I was all danced out. Worth it? YES.
Here we are halfway through May and it’s back to the grind.
Today I posted on Instagram about my new Clarins Makeup that is oh-so-perfect for summer, but the makeup was connected to a much bigger topic. CHANGE. (How many times can I say change in one Instagram caption LOL. I revised it like 7 times before I settled on something that didn’t sound ridiculous. Whoops!)
I’m not quite ready to chat about WHAT is going to be changing, but when it does, I will be bursting with news on all social channels. And no, it’s not about getting engaged lololol.
ANYWAYS – until that change happens…we’ll be here, chatting like we normally do!
How have you guys been? I want to know! I have SO. MANY. IDEAS. for blog content, and I am just DYING to get to work. I just need to make a little more time for it all 😉
The last couple of blogs have been SO beauty focussed, but I really want to start doing more Social Media consulting on here for you guys.
I feel like my Instagram DM’s are FULL of people asking for blog advice, so I think it’s time I start consistently letting you guys in on what I’ve been actually doing for the last 5 years. Sound good?
In other news – I totally gave myself a Poppy Orange/Red Gel Mani today, sans LED light. And I can’t stop looking at my nails – they look GOOD if I do say so myself. Sure, there are some imperfections (when I have wet nails I turn into THE WORLD’S CLUMSIEST HUMAN ALIVE) but for an at-home gel mani, they’re on point. I used this gel nail polish and this top coat. 10/10 recommend.
READY for some new makeup finds that I’m LOVING for summer?! I thought so 😉
My #1 fave product from Clarins right now is this gem of a compact. Not only does it have FLAMINGOS on the outside packaging, but it also has palm trees on the inside. Helllllllo, ILY. It has such a gorgeous, yet subtle, shimmer to it, and the pigment is perfect for building up and blending out. If you’re on the hunt for a new bronzer, look no further.

Next up is Clarins Volumizing Mascara. SAY NO MORE. That’s all I need to know. Volume + mascara = YES.
This one is unique. Remember when you used to get those pens in school that had all 4 colors you could need for any occasion? Grading papers? GREAT, I have a red pen. Writing an essay? YES, I have black ink here as well. Need to write a note on the side of your paper but it’s not a mistake you’re notating? GREEN – here you are. And blue ink? Well to be honest, I hate writing in blue ink and just refuse to do so. So you can sit down, blue ink.
WELL THAT’S BASICALLY WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS. EXCEPT YOU’LL WANT TO USE ALLLLL THE SIDES!!!!! BEHOLD. 3 colors for eyes, and one for lips. Groundbreaking, truly.
And finally we have Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. This product is inflused with 100% pure plant oils to nourish, soothe and plump lips — leaving a protective veil of color. You can use it 3 ways, too! Apply BEFORE you put on your lipstick for smooth application, wear alone for soft moisturized lips, or add to any lip color for that extra shine.
That’s all I have for you tonight! It’s 11:25 PM and I am currently sitting in a face mask that is WAY past the time I should have washed it off. And Brennan should be walking through the door any minute, so I better get to scrubbing this scary mask off LOL.
TALK TO YA’LL SOON; have an AMAZING finish to this week! xoxo
