We made it! It’s Friday, and I couldn’t be happier!! Jules is home and I’m headed out for a Girls Night tonight! (insert all the excitement!) I feel like we have been stuck inside for so long with this yucky sickness and the snow. This mama needs a break! What are you all planning for the weekend?? Whatever you have planned I hope it involves some sun!
For my favorites today I am talking about some makeup! So I know I have talked about my love for makeup and certain products I swear by, so today I have some new favorites + a couple bonus picks!! So let’s get to it!

K let’s talk sun. I have been totally feeling the winter blues, especially because Idaho decided to actually have a winter, in March! So I have been reaching for all of my faux tan products and this has easily climbed to the top of my list!! Now I don’t sell Rodan & Fields, but I really love this Foaming Sunless Tan, and of course the Lash Boost I talk about HERE! This is a foam, just like it says in the name, and it goes on super easy! There is no smell! I don’t smell like a tanning salon all day long! The coverage is super even, and I love the color. It’s not orange + gives you a great build able tan! I also apply this to my face and I LOVE it! It gives me just the right amount of color without looking fake. I have loved pairing this with my favorite gradual tanning loation by Nivea, HERE. The lotion helps me maintain my color + keep my skin hydrated!! Now that I have my tan let’s get some sun around here!!
So I will never stray from my all time favorite foundation Estee Lauder Double Wear . It is perfect in every season. Gives me full coverage, and stays on ALL DAY LONG. If you haven’t tried it, you should. With the warmer months upon us, I don’t always want to put on a full face of makeup. I recently got this amazing duo and I absolutely love the results! This It Cosmetics CC Cream is super lightweight while still giving me coverage. It feels like it is immediately hydrating my face, which I love, and a little goes a long way! Bonus, it has SPF 50+ in it! I have been applying it with this It Cosmetics Brush and it works magic! Its gives my face such a smooth finish with out feeling cakey or streaky!
The one thing that is more important than great makeup, is making that great makeup stay in place for the entire day! I have been using this Laura Mercier Setting Powder for a couple of months now and it is amazing how well it works! I get the translucent powder, and at first I was a little worried, because I don’t love translucent powders. They make me feel chalky, or like Jules likes to say, I look like I stepped out of the White Chicks movie… So I tried this anyway and it blends into my skin flawlessly! It doesn’t leave any chalky dusty residue, and it makes my makeup looking fresh all day long!! I love this stuff!
I have never really invested in makeup brushes. I just use the brushes I have on hand that I have collected over the years, or I simply use my fingers. It’s worked, but I haven’t loved it. I found this beautiful marble Sonia Kashuk Brush Set at Target for $30! This picture only shows three of the brushes from the set, it actually comes with 10 brushes! Such a good deal! This marble style is no longer available, but I linked the same set, different design HERE. The brushes are high quality, and I have not experienced any shedding so far! The brushes pick up a good amount of product and blend so well! If you have been looking for some makeup brushes but didn’t want to spend the money, definitely check these out!
Shoes!! I recently collect 16 pairs of shoes I am loving right now, all for under $100!! You can check that out HERE! My Madewell Mules and Soludos Lace Up Espadrilles are included in that list! I added my favorite leather sandals, my Tory Burch Miller Sandals, because I literally wear them all the time AND you can get them up to 25% off HERE for just a couple more days! Going into spring and summer I love to keep things simple and this line up allows just that! I can pair all of these shoes with so many different outfits and they are so comfortable!!
Okay last on my list today is this years Book Club! My sweet friend and I decided we wanted to read one book each month, and it has been so much fun! It has forced me to read, and I love that. I have been using my time to relax and dive into a great book instead of binge watching Netflix shows… I mean I find time for that still be cause let’s be honest, I’m not going to stop that! But my favorite part of this is getting together at the end of each month! It is so easy to forget to take time for my girls in my life as a mama, and this carves out at least one day each month to get out of the house and have a great time!! Oh and this book was awesome, and I really want to read her other books!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
