This & That | Beauty Obsessions (& Other Things)

Heyyyy guys! Happy Monday.

So… Zack woke me up this morning super early to go on a coffee date, & the first words out of my mouth were “babe, why the f*ck are you waking me up this early on a Saturday”. YUP, I started my Monday fully thinking it was Saturday. So, naturally, I ordered my almond dirty chai with an extra shot of espresso.

You know it’s gonna be a rough Monday when you are clearly still in weekend mode. 

I think I am way overdue for a vacation, so today’s plan, decide where to go. Z & I are debating- snow on sun? I am thinking some Vitamin D might do us good. Any ideas where we should go? Cabo? Hawaii? Thoughts? LET ME KNOW!!! I am very very open (aka begging) to any suggestions.

As for today’s post, I’m sharing a few weekend highlights (like the nighttime zoo! so rad), but mostly, it’s all about beauty faves that I can’t get enough of lately!! You guys are gonna love… so read on!

GTG chug more coffee & online shop for bikinis! x, E

» okay, so I have never been big into doing my make-up up until recently. Now, I am addicted! I watch tutorials on how to bake, contour, & strobe and I am now practicing my skills on friends/family. I have been on the hunt for the perfect cream contour kit (way better than powders, IMO) & this one from Lush Minerals is currently rocking my world.

NOT SPONSORED, this kit is the absolute best. Plus, the name is pretty fitting… don’t ya think? It would make a great gift idea for your make-up obsessed friend. «

» speaking of beauty obsessions, also not sponsored, Renpure shampoo/conditioner is the sh*t!! It contains no parabens, sulfates, salts, or dyes AND it’s gluten free (major score!). I seriously have never used a better shampoo & totally got it on a whim at Target the other day.

Now, my whole family is hooked! This one is for straightening cause I like my hair stick straight, but I hear the coconut cream is amazing as well (according to my Dad- LOL!). Also, it’s super affordable & way better than some of the pricy shampoos I have bought in the past. «

» Still on the beauty topic, I just got a spray tan at Blush Tan & I am over the moon in love with it. If you know me, you know that I am pretty pale & dodge the sun like the plague, so when I need some color- I am all about spray tans. That said, spray tans stink, are full of chemicals & ALWAYS ruin my sheets. 

Not the case w/ Blush Tan. It’s all organic, smells great, & doesn’t destroy your sheets/clothes/anything you touch. Plus, the color is SO natural & stunning. I got the anti-aging spray tan which has coffee & hyaluronic acid which moisturizes, reduces cellulite (PRAISE!), & fades fine lines. 

I was so obsessed, that they shot me an email w/ a coupon code for my readers after my appointment. So, you HAVE to try it & can get 20% off any full body service w/ the code “fashionlush”. It is valid for 30 days, so check if there is a location near you & be ready to fall in love. «
