because let's be honest, more sleep is my number one priority.



Those French girls are really onto something with their low-key makeup & uncomplicated cool-girl vibe. & I'm here for anything that will have me looking put together but with minimal time & effort. So I've taken a page from their book & adopted a simple makeup look that takes less than 10 mins to get ready.



Here are 4 beauty buys that I use regularly to give me that effortless put together vibe-




SKINCARE

A great skincare routine is the foundation for any great look. To get that healthy glow, I highly recommend incorporating a collagen face mask into your pm routine. Apply at night, go to bed with it on, & wake up with the most dewy, hydrated skin that looks refreshed.

Medicube makes a great peel-off mask. Let dry for 10-15 min before going to bed & peel off in the am



Or if you're looking for something that's a bit easier to apply, I also recommend this collagen sheet mask from Biodance,



I also did a whole post about my pm skincare routine in more detail that you can read about here.







FOUNDATION

I like a base that's super lightweight & with minimal coverage. To get that no make-up, make-up look, I tend to wear a lot of cream-based products because they are so easy to blend.

Jones Road has a great lineup of clean beauty products that are perfect for achieving this look.


I've been using their face pencils for my foundation for years. Perfect to contour with & can easily be blended out with your fingers



& Bonus, if you're looking for a little pop of color for the eyes, I love this buildable cream-based shadow







BROWS & LASHES

I started doing my own lashes & brows about a year ago. Since then I was able to ditch the mascara & fancy brow gels & wax. I've saved so much time getting ready in the morning since I began doing my lashes & brows. Now I just fluff them with a spoolie & I'm good to go!

Wugayu Lash & Brow Lift Kit

I use this kit about every 6 weeks to keep my brows & lashes looking tip-top.


FYI there is a bit of a learning curve with doing your won brows & lashes. I recommend doing a bit of research before you get started. & Don't get discouraged if they don't turn out great the first time. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it.







LIPS

While I do love a good, bold lip, sometimes I want something a bit more natural. & After falling for some great marketing on social media, I'm here to share with you my 2 favorite lippies for some subtle color.

Wonderskin Lip Stain in Sweetheart

Yes, wonderskin lives up to the internet hype, imo. Plenty of options to choose from to find the perfect shade for you. Personally, I'm a fan of Romance- a cool rose color. One tube has lasted me about 6 months.

Violette_FR Bisou Balm in Rose Latte

Recently I added Bisou Balm from Violette_FR to collection. It's a sheer matte lipstick-meets-hydrating balm with a flush of color and subtle blurring effect for a just-been-kissed lip look.


I just bought their new shade- Mon Cheri, a warm brownish-rose color. The color is buildable which I love because you can control how much color to give your lips.








So there you have it, tried & true beauty buys that will give you that chic, effortless look with minimal effort.
