As I get closer to 40, I’m noticing more volume loss through the middle of my face, so I wanted to try an underpainting routine (contour, highlight, and blush under a very light layer of foundation) that still feels natural enough for summer. Standout products: YSL Cushion Foundation (I wear MC3 in summer), Patrick Ta Double Take Blush in the new shade Out of Office, and a new-to-me Fenty gloss in the perfect pinky bronze over the newly relaunched Pat McGrath lip pencil, which has the staying power of a lip stain. Oh, plus the mph Beauty Underpainting Palette (always a favorite.) To make it feel even more summery, I finished with Westman Atelier Bronzer Drops, Sarah Creal Copper Eye Kohl, and the Tarte Freckle Stamp. What do you think this look? ad sephorauspartner paidlink

The ultimate summer candle, IMHO. It’s a little bit grassy, a little bit citrusy, and softened with a little bit of musk. It’s the perfect clean, refreshing scent. 🍋🎾

#LTKHome

These UV detection stickers are fantastic! They sense when it’s time to reapply your sunscreen and turn purple to alert you. Great for kids and outdoor days!

Ulta has some good sales going on right now! Here are 5 deals we like on products we love:

1. The Glow Cycle Skincare Set is 40% off and comes with a 0.5 oz vitamin C serum, 2.2 oz of their Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner, and 1.7 oz Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer. This is a great skincare starter kit; James has really liked using it. The moisturizer is thicker than average — making it great for dry skin — and has a clean lemon scent. And their vitamin C serum is lightweight, absorbs easily, and has a nice orange scent too.

2. The OLEHENRIKSEN Barrier Booster Vitamin C Milky Toner is 30% off and is fantastic. It’s thinner than a serum, but thicker than a toner, and it’s hydrating with the added boost of vitamin C essence. I use this in the morning after splashing my face with water and before applying my more expensive serums because it helps the serum absorb better.

3. The KP Bump Eraser AHA Body Exfoliating Scrub is 25% off. It’s always helped me with my keratosis pilaris, and I used to use it for my pre-tan prep but didn’t like the tube it came in. They switched it to a tub container instead, and it’s so much better. Comes in unscented, strawberry, peach, and coconut.

4. Saltair HA Body & Face Serum (Mix & Match BOGO 50% Off): This is a great affordable substitute for the Necessaire body serum. Not sticky and absorbs quickly. Great for summer hydration — just make sure to apply right out of the shower while your skin is still damp.

5. Acne Foaming Wash with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide (Mix & Match BOGO 50% Off): This little $8.50 body + face wash is soooo good at killing body odor-causing bacteria. Just rinse really well after using on your underarms!

Dress runs short so I added navy spandex under! I’m in a size 12. Wearing Victoria’s Secret Demi bra.

Stylest’s 30% off Secret Sale is going on right now! I am obsessed with their DreamSculpt sculpting swimsuits and never fail to get compliments whenever I wear them. Use code SECRET30 in cart.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKSwim #LTKMidsize

Jenny Bird is my holy-grail shop for anklets. The Zeina anklet is water-resistant and my poolside go-to, and I love to stack it with the Lucille anklet. And the earrings are still discounted from this weekend’s sales for 25% off!

#LTKSaleAlert

We have been having so much fun playing Play Nine this summer during our family game nights! For ages 8+, takes 30-90 minutes to play. It’s super easy to learn, has been a huge hit with Rebecca, and James and I genuinely enjoy playing it too!

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

These Aerie cargo shorts are only $10! They’re a perfect little dabble into the long-shorts moment. So soft and comfy. Size down! I have them in cream (which is *ever-so-slightly* sheer — just wear nude underwear and you’re good!), and they also come in beige, blue, and charcoal grey.

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd

Athleta’s sale is still going on, and codes are stackable! My favorite linen pants in this light neutral are almost 50% off with stacking codes, and the white, black, and brown are 60% off.

Also, these Endless High-Rise pants are 60% off. There’s an extra 20% off sale items, PLUS you can stack codes! Size up on these — I’m wearing my regular size in this photo, and I wish I had sized up for a looser fit.

Stacking code that still works: MEGHAN10

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKMidsize

Here’s the top I wore yesterday for the 4th — currently on clearance! It’s SO lightweight and breathable that I was comfortable in it in this legit 100-degree heatwave. Runs big; I’m in an XXL!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKPlusSize

MZ Wallace’s only annual sale ends after tomorrow! I love this woven leather shoulder bag, and it’s on sale for 40% off ($275 ➡️ $165)! Large enough to fit a laptop, but still lightweight. Comes in slate grey, black, and cream. Final sale.

#LTKSaleAlert

Another shoutout for these cooler inserts from Amazon! As you can hear from the video, whether our drinks started off at room temp is up for debate 😂, but these cooler inserts DEFINITELY made — and kept — them colder. After 14 hours in a cooler (3 of those hours in direct sunlight) with just three of these inserts, our drinks were still ice cold.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel

And this is our top overall portable fan rec! It’s free-standing and can extend up to 3 feet, but it’s also lightweight and folds up nicely into a hand-held carrying case, so it’s PERFECT for travel. It oscillates, has a long battery life, AND (one of our favorite features) can also be used as a phone charger! This is one of our top summer essentials!

#LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

My favorite handheld fan for summer. It has a long battery life, five different speed settings, and can be positioned multiple ways to adjust how you need — from free-standing on a tabletop to hanging around your neck. 10/10 for pool days, park days, parade days, etc. It’s also perfect for travel!

#LTKActive #LTKTravel #LTKSaleAlert

Love this makeup brush cleaner, and it’s 30% off! It’s like a dry shampoo for your brush — just spray ‘n clean; no need to wait for your brushes to dry. 30% off full-sized, value-sized, and mini through 7/7 with code SAVESC.

Use code VANESSA for an extra 20% off (and pay only $68 total)! Includes:

Another summer staple: I used this pitcher for the storing-watermelon hack, and it is PERFECT for maximizing space and storage. It can lay flat without leaking, AND it drains! Also fits in the fridge door!

#LTKBeauty #LTKTravel #LTKSaleAlert

Have gotten lots of questions on this charm necklace, and it’s a $10 Amazon find! And it’s surprisingly durable — I’ve had this one for three years and wear it to the pool and on vacation all the time. I added a 3” necklace extender for the look pictured here.

15% off with code SISTER15: These sunglasses from Sardine are stylish, durable, and expertly made by a female-owned small business. They also come with a cute travel pouch!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKSeasonal #LTKootd

James loves these shorts. He’s never been picky about clothing, so the fact that he immediately wanted another pair after wearing these for the first time says something. True to size.

#LTKMens #LTKTall

Who knew that Nordstrom had such a strong mosquito repellant game? This kids’ mosquito repellant under $15 doesn’t irritate my eczema, and most importantly, it WORKS. It counts towards 3x points on beauty products at Nordstrom now through the end of June!

#LTKBeauty #LTKSeasonal #LTKActive

I’m in shade Medium Cool 1.5 I have been testing this new under $50 foundation because I wondered if the hype was worth it, and, I really like it! It looks like skin, isn’t too heavy, and has medium coverage while being a good summer option. I used it for concealer and foundation here. Plus the compact is cute AF it’s perfect for your bag too because it’s mess free. Free GWP here

#LTKgrwm

And almost everything also available in plus size too! Last day!
