Here’s What You Need To Glow Like a Peach

Greetings and Salutations my friends! Did you sleep well and have pleasant nightmares? I sure hope you had the best week ever. It’s been a little stressful at work but nothing I can’t handle. Sorry, I’ve sort of been MIA lately but I’m slowly regaining my ground! I know I’m short on reviews lately. I’m sorry. I swear I wake up in the morning, wash my face, get my skincare in, conceal my eyes, curl my lashes, and pop my favorite cheek stain on and I’m out the door. It’s not that I don’t wanna wear makeup it’s just the humidity and the Summer sun has me like less is more dude, less is more.

I hate how COVID has me so confined inside lately. I try to minimize how much social time I have with people and being out and about especially with the new variants. Cases in New York are slowly creeping up and even vaccinated I like to be as safe as possible. I feel like I never spend any time with my real life friends lately and most of our interactions are weekends only. It’s weird for me to not be out and about.

THANK god for my online friends. We spend ours at night laughing and giggling like teenagers. They really have kept me sane these many months of pandemic torture.

Needless to say I’m looking forward to the weekend.

I’m going to Arlene’s Grocery this weekend for the first time since the panoramic started and I’m sort of terrified. Wish me luck.

Oh by the way….along with my quick cheeky stain and go look I have this new combo I’m loving lately. Maybe you caught it on Instagram?

I’m all into Baremineral Gen Nude Blonzer Blush + Bronzer in Kiss of Copper with Maybelline Molten Peach Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter lately. I apply the Gen Nude Blush + Bronzer first and I buff it in to death with the cool Powder Brush from the Sephora Rose Brush Set. I proceed to dust a little hint of the Molten Peach Master Chrhome Metallic Highlighter down my nose so I look like Rudolph the Hot Girl Summer Edition. I also dust a little of it on my cheek bones! Just a hint!

That’s it! No foundation, concealer under my eyes, use Kiss Falscara Natural Wispy Wisp to fill my natural lashes in, mascara, and a little thin liner on my eyes (I purchased an eyeliner stamp and dude, best thing evers). Fresh faced and peachy keen! I seriously have been doing this look like five or six times a week. It’s just my perfect Summer glow!

What’s your fav minimal Summer look?

I see so many people going more natural lately and I’m loving that because for a while there everyone was wearing pound of foundation and contouring themselves to death!
