fresh faced post-fitness

I’ve been trying to workout four times per week – a feat for me when it actually happens but in order to fit it in, it requires at least one morning session a week which means getting ready in under 30 minutes in a locker room without my usual supply of beauty products. That being said, I’ve figured out a five minute face that will leave you fresh-faced and feeling put-together without a whole lot of product.

  1. Benefit Posietint (for cheeks and lips)
  2. BareMinerals Ready Foundation
  3. Dior Mascara
  4. Dior Brow pencil
  5. Benefit Dallas (brush on over Posietint on your cheek bones)

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend! I have a short work week as I’m heading home to Chicago on Thursday- hooray!

Some weeks of work are better than others aren’t they? Well this past weekend was hardly any sleep, so much time on my feet but the past few days I was able to play catch up and get some more Miami time in. Here’s a few snapshots of my time here.

Hope you’re having a good week! I’m now en route back to New York…happy to be going home but mentally preparing myself for snow…eep!

coming soon from benefit cosmetics

By on July 16, 2012 in Beauty, Makeup

Last week I attended an event held by my favorite cosmetics company, Benefit, to get a sneak peek at their latest upcoming launch of their new Complexion and Lip & Cheek Kits –How To Look the Best at Everything and Sugarlicious, Go Tropicoral & Feelin’ Dandy (exclusive to Sephora).

The kits are the perfect size for throwing in your bag and I’ve been using my Feelin’ Dandy Lip & Cheek Kit non-stop since receiving it to do post-work, pre-dinner/drinks touch ups before heading out of the office. It contains a gloss, my favorite all time product Posietint, a blush and High Beam for quick highlighting:

You can get in on the ‘Benekit’ fun as follows:

  1. Benefitcosmetics.com one-day flash sale: July 18th
  2. Sephora Online date: July 31st
  3. Sephora in-store availability: August 1st

Just like everything Benefit does, the kits are cute and clever, full of good tips & tricks, and great for girls on the go. I highly recommend you grab one later this summer!

Thank you so much for reading and hope you had a wonderful weekend! XO
