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!

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.

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.

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.
