+One of my favorite beauty discoveries this summer: RMS Beauty’s SuperNatural Radiance SPF. I wrote a full review here but this is like a bridge between your skincare and beauty regimens. Sun protection and primer in one with blurring/brightening capabilities. Incredible! Been using daily the past few weeks.
+LOVE everything from female-founded, clean beauty line Olio E Osso, especially their shave oil and body oil.
+Olaplex bond smoother – use this after the shower and it dramatically reduces drying time / yields a much smoother blowout.
+I keep this Wander Beauty blush/illuminator duo in my purse/pool bag for quick touch-ups. You can use the cheek color as a makeshift lipstick, and the illuminator is one of my favorites! Love the easy stick applicator.
+My ride or die concealer. This is very thick and “a dab will do ya” but the only thing that really conceals dark undereye circles. If you buy, you will probably say: “Jen! This is like stage paint!” But trust me. A tiny bit, blended with a brush, will yield a very natural finish that stays and stays and truly affords coverage.
+Love all Oribe products — so splurgey but luxurious and beautifully-scented and effective. Their signature shampoo is a great everyday upgrade. And I love their “gold lust hair oil.” I use this very specifically to apply to the tips of my hair after blow-drying — it keeps them bending the correct way and affords a level of polish/finish.
Happy shopping!
P.S. Love at work.
