Gel powder to take away the oil… because cakey isn’t the look. 👀

I love that this isn’t a traditional powder — it helps take down shine without leaving that heavy, cakey finish.

And yes, the gummy bear lip gloss is still a favorite. 💕 Shade: [insert shade]

My Go-To Short Hair Styling Routine

How to Get the Perfect Face-Framing Curls on Short Hair

If your face-framing pieces never seem to fall quite right, this simple curling technique makes all the difference. I use a small curling iron, set each curl with clips while it cools, then finish with a lightweight texture spray for soft movement and lasting volume.

I’m linking everything I used, including my favorite texture spray, curling iron, heat-resistant carbon comb, clips, denim skirt, and Old Navy tank top.

Petite-Friendly Top That Runs Big | Size Down One

If you’re thinking about grabbing this top, my biggest tip is to size down one size for the best fit. It has a relaxed, oversized fit, so going down gives it a more flattering look while still feeling comfortable.

I love styling it with denim shorts now and jeans later for an easy summer-to-fall transition. It’s a versatile staple that can be dressed up with wedges or kept casual with sneakers or sandals.

Brows that last at the pool? YES. 🙌🏻

If your brows disappear the second you hit the water, this is one summer beauty find I’m keeping: Revlon ColorStay Micro Easy Liner.

It gives me an easy, defined brow that holds up for pool days without making my routine complicated. ☀️

And for the rest of the pool-day look, I’m also loving this Hurley swim cover-up — easy to throw on over a swimsuit and go.

Pool day essentials: long-lasting brow makeup + an easy swim cover-up. 🩷
