There’s nothing we love more than getting all dolled up, so we had so much fun when Blushington invited us in to learn all about their new summer beauty tips! Getting into an everyday beauty routine is easy, but every now and then, it’s nice to find ways to spruce it up and add a little fun to your look. Learning all about how to contour our faces with a highlighting powder was definitely a new trick I plan on trying at home! From cat-eyes to bold lip colors and bronzers, we thoroughly enjoyed the subtle updates to our everyday looks. When getting a makeover at Blushington, be sure to request the temporary eyelash extension add on – It will give your eyes that ultimate pop you’ve been desiring! So worth it. Check out the Blushington website to learn more and to schedule your next appointment at the Dallas, West Hollywood, or Newport Beach location!

For 20-something years, I’ve been the “oldest sister” of the family, so I think it makes sense that I’m trying to be proactive with my skincare routine to avoid those wrinkles we all dread! As you know, we trust our dermatologist and our sunscreen with our lives, so it’s safe to say we take skincare very seriously in this family.
Since finding the right products is imperative for your skincare regimen, I wanted to share mine with you all. First, everyone needs a Tassi! I gave all the girls in my family a Tassi for Christmas- I swear it makes washing your face more enjoyable and great to use when applying self-tanner.
I’ve been using the Bliss face wash ever since I got a sample while staying at a W Hotel years ago. It’s reliable, smells nice, and takes all my makeup off easily. I apply a small amount to my Clarisonic daily, and my skin instantly feels refreshed and exfoliated! Couple that with what I believe to be the best face mask in existence, and your face will be clean and refreshed beyond belief.
Now onto the serums- over the past year I kept hearing all about serums, so I was thrilled to find a day (c/o) and a night (c/o) serum in my Lucky FABB swag bag. They feel amazing and my skin stays so moisturized throughout the day.
The AM/PM moisturizing cream is the perfect cream to put over the serum. It is perfectly light on my skin and also has SPF, which is extremely important in a beauty routine.
Lastly, you cannot forget the eyes! I have been using Clarins eye cream for several years, and it remains my favorite eye cream I’ve tried.
Though my skincare routine may seem like a lot of steps, the whole process is very quick and my skin will thank me later. What products do you love to keep your skin healthy and moisturized?

Every Southern girl knows you should never leave the house without makeup. Whether we stay rooted in that mentality or not, we know taking an extra five minutes in the morning to apply the basic beauty essentials makes a world of a difference. I have a tendency to purchase a plethora of unnecessary cosmetics, but I always find myself using the same products every day.
I am no snob with my products and enjoy a mix of designer and drugstore brands. Eyeliner is my vice, therefore I have tried every brand under the sun: MAC, Bobbi Brown, Serge Lutens, you name it. I was surprised to find, however, the simplest and most inexpensive was my favorite- Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner. If you haven’t tried it, go buy it now. You will thank me later.
In the meantime, check out some of my other must-have beauty finds in my cosmetic bag!
