Some thoughts and discussions from me.

Hi guys!

Yesterday ended up being a day full of all American fun. We started the day with a walk and workout, and then met Lauren and Greg for a hike – followed by a burger and beer –  and then gathered at our friend’s house in the ‘hood to play washers and watch the fireworks.

All eating Good Pops (banana cinnamon is my JAM) after a dinner of hot dogs, avocado salad, potato salad, and corn on the cob – playing washers (or something very similar.)

Aside from the hike, this wasn’t too different from the past 4th of July’s that we spent in Normal, IL. Oh, except this year we watched fireworks over the flatirons.

It’s Friday – and one after a holiday at that – and I’m feeling a bit silly again. For today’s post, I put together a little video for you all about my makeup routine – namely my staples. My HG’s. Holy Grails. The stuff I wear almost every day.

And for those who don’t feel like – or aren’t able to – watch the video. Here’s da goods.

LaRoche Posay Anthelios sunscreen – super light and not greasy at all

PTR powder sunscreen – which I put on my hair part and hair line

Tarte Maracuja concealer – water proof, and lasts all day – through teaching classes and training clients, plus you only need the teensiest amount!

Physicians Formula Organicwear mascara + a lash curler

Korres lip butters – so smooth, conditioning, and not sticky, plus a little bit of color

Tarte amazonian clay eyeliner in bronze. I love this eye liner for several reasons: it’s water proof, it’s fool proof to put on, and it looks natural. I’m horrible at drawing on e/l with a pencil – the brush makes it so easy!

And lastly, NYX cream blush. I’m not so much a powder blush fan, and while I love Tarte’s cheek stain, I also really like this one – plus it’s $5 Smile

Happy Friday! I’m off to train some clients and then head out on a hike Open-mouthed smile

What are some of your makeup staples?
