Hi friends!

So, I love to dress up and put on a pretty face just like any other gal but, when I’ve been at the beach all day, and chips & salsa and a Corona Lite are calling my name … I turn on my low maintenance switch real quick! When I was in Miami a couple weeks ago, I did just that after a few hours in the sun.

To achieve an effortless, fresh face after a long day outside, the first thing I do is wash off the sunscreen that has been on my face all day. I’ve been using Tula’s Purifying Face Cleanser lately and I have a feeling I’ll be doing a dedicated post on how their products have transformed my skin soon! Definitely try it if you’re looking for something new to try! Then, I apply their Illuminating Facial Serum.

After I’ve let the serum absorb into my skin for a new minutes, I use a simple six product regimen. First, I apply Smashbox’s BB Cream to even out my skin tone, then a light cream eyeshadow [this one is similar] to my eyes. I skip the eyeliner [because, really, why bother?] and just go for a little bit of mascara. Then, I lightly contour my face with bronzer and dust a bit of highlighter on the apple’s of my cheeks. Finish off your fresh face with a light lip gloss and you’re good to go! I’m sorry but, to me, your friends, great weather and chips & salsa can’t wait any longer than that!

Hope you have a happy Monday! xo.
