I opened the bathroom mirror this morning and realized July has already slipped halfway past us. The calendar doesn’t slow down, but at my vanity it feels like it should.
Here are four posts I’m sharing with you this week — a mix of color tips, skincare philosophy, and one summer blush I actually use now that I know the right name for it.
Pick Colors That Flatter Your Complexion
Angie at Your True Self Blog has a whole Color Series on choosing accessories that complement your skin tone. The takeaway: age doesn’t matter when you dress to flatter your complexion. It’s one of those things I wish someone had told me earlier.
The Boxwalla June Beauty Box — Twelve Beauty
This month’s Boxwalla box is themed “The Science of Stillness” and features products from Twelve Beauty. Lola at Secret Beauty Blog says it sells out fast, so if you’re on the fence, grab yours early.
Longevity Beauty — The Kind That Comes From Taking Care of Yourself
Terri at A Good Life wrote a thoughtful piece about longevity beauty. Not the kind that comes from expensive treatments alone, but the kind built on daily habits and genuine self-care. It made me think about my own morning routine and whether I’m investing in today or ten years from now.
The Summer Blush I Finally Named Right
I’ll admit — I used to grab this blush without even knowing the exact product name. The Be Your Own Desire Liquid Blush is buildable, blends like a dream, and gives that soft flush you want in summer without looking heavy.
A Note from the Studio
I bought a $90 serum once because an ad told me I needed it. Turns out my $18 one did the exact same job. Same goes for blush: find what works on your skin, not just what sounds pretty in a name.
Tested on my vanity, not on my ego.
