A Stop At The NARS Counter

Doesn’t need to be explained that I am a NARS aficionado. They consistently put out wearable, innovated products that I can resist snapping up. I’ve been on a bender lately, and there are three NARS products rocking my world. Here are the details:

NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder: I’ll be the first to admit, when I got my paws on this I wasn’t sure exactly what it would do for me. The silky, white powder look innoculous at best. Think again, sister. This stuff is a true MVP. Powered with a photochromic technology, the formula difuses light and adjusts on cue, enhancing foundation and giving your makeup a long-lasting effect. The mineral powder is packed with glycerin and vitamin E to nourish skin. Those with oilier skin will love how it controls shine.

Concealer (Correcting Shade) in Pear is a godsend to those with redness (raises hand). I love how it counteracts the red around my nose or if I have any sort of blemish. The rich concealer blends seamlessly and doesn’t crease or look powdery. It also is loaded with vitamin E to nourish skin.

Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Paris Follies is the newest addition to the color lineup. The flamingo pink shade is perfect to accent my sunkissed skin this summer. If you haven’t tried Larger Than Life, get ready for some shine and staying power. I also love the way it keeps my lips hydrated. And the tiny applicator allows for precise application of the high pigment formula.

I’m On POPSUGAR Beauty!

Talk about a great day yesterday! Not only did I visit FOX23’s Great Day Green Country. I was interviewed by the public television station here, OETA, about living in my beloved Downtown Tulsa. And it is such an honor to be the first POPSUGAR Select beauty blogger to become published on POPSUGAR Beauty (aka bellasugar.com, a long long long time favorite site of mine)! Make sure you head over to check out the post. I can’t wait to hear what you think about A Bridal Shower Makeup Look That Takes the Cake. Cheers!

Summer Lip MVP’s on FOX’s Great Day Green Country

I’m back on Great Day Green Country this morning to chat about the hottest lip products for the summer. These three gems are the ones I keep reaching for, no matter what look I am going for. Make sure to pick up one of these Summer MVPs!

bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick: This buttery formula is ultra-rich and super pigmented. You get great color payoff while still hydrating your pout. Not to mention, this lipstick comes in such vibrant and great shades, perfect for the warmer months.
mark Glossworks: The newest from mark comes in eight shades pigmented and long lasting shades. The formula is hydrating and glossy. And there is an ever so slight sweet scent. Major bonus: contains SPF 15 to protect lips during the day.
supergoop SPF 30+ AcaiFusion Lip Balm: This balm is the ultimate in sun protection for while you are at the lake or the pool. The rich formula has such a great scent and the sheer pink tint keeps you looking polished. It also soothes dehydrated lips while Acai works as an antioxidant.

Nutrisystem Week 29

This week, I gained 0.5 pounds for a total weight loss of 34.2 pounds. While the positive number can be a little discouraging, I’ve had a couple other massive victories this week, so I’m proud and smiling. First, I updated my measurements this week. Since December 1st, I’ve lost whopping 18 inches. I swung by J. Crew and happily purchased two pair of size eight short shorts. And I set a time record on my run, taking my mile time down over two minutes since I initially hit the road five weeks ago. Despite the number on the scale, I can tell my body continues to change and evolve.

An update on my goals – I’ve set the end of July as a deadline to lose these last 10 pounds. I plan on rewarding myself with a week long beach vacation. So, in the meantime, I’m upping my running and will continue to rely on delicious Nutrisystem meals I love!

Check out last week’s Nutrisystem post here.
