$5 Finds Inside! 🥳

Beauty Faves

If you’re like me and love experimenting with new eyeshadow styles, I have a good recc for you and… IT’S ONLY $5! 🤗 

Hard Candy’s liquid eyeshadows give you bold and blendable colors that are so easy to apply and perfect for creating any look you want. Whether you're after a soft wash of color or a striking pop, this should do the trick!

What I love the most is that it’s super pigmented but blends so nicely on the lids while leaving no smudging or creasing.

Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, which is always a win in my book.

Here are some cool combos you can try:

Bold & Smoky: Create a bold, smoky eye by blending “Rich” across your lids as a base, then using the “Vibe” shadow to deepen the outer corners. Finish with winged liner for an eye-catching look.

Smokey Sapphire: Use “Halo” for a neutral base on the eyelids. Then apply “Idol” on the lower lash line. This will be the pop of color for the look. Finish by blending the edges for a seamless transition that ties the whole look together.

Okay, now for those busy mornings or when you’re on the go, this ‘Quick Face' makeup routine will help you!

Fits of the Week

I combined a chic black mini dress with a casual cardigan from Gucci (you can use any outer layer). The mix of a fitted dress with a more relaxed topper creates a versatile look that’s both stylish and comfortable. Balance the look with simple bracelets or a pendant necklace.

Black midi dresses will ALWAYS be a timeless piece 🙏. This one has a flattering silhouette with the high slit for added style. The fabric is so comfortable yet chic. Pair it with delicate gold layered necklaces or hoop earrings. You can add strappy heels for an elevated look, or just keep it simple with flat sandals!

The perfect Sunday fit 😍. I have on a cropped Nike pullover with high-waisted, cozy sweats. It’s perfect for lounging or running errands. Throw on a pair of white sneakers to complete the athleisure look.

Recipe of the Week

Today, I have an easy go-to recipe that’s perfect for busy days—Asian Chicken Bowls!

The marinade is packed with Asian-inspired flavors, and the chicken soaks it all up beautifully!

I usually just toss it on the grill, but you can bake or air fry it—whatever’s easiest for you. Serve it over a bed of rice with fresh veggies like carrots, edamame, cucumbers, and avocado. Of course, don’t forget a drizzle of spicy mayo for that extra kick! 🌶️ 

Recipe:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Mix together salt, pepper, olive oil, soy sauce, fresh garlic, lemon juice, and any other preferred spices.

   • Place chicken breasts in the marinade and let them soak for at least a few hours.

2. Grill the Chicken:

   • Preheat the grill to 400°F and cook the chicken until it’s fully done, juicy, and slightly charred.

3. Prepare the Veggies:

   • Slice carrots, cucumbers, and avocado.

   • Steam edamame.

4. Assemble the Bowl:

   • Start with a base of rice.

   • Top with the grilled chicken and your choice of veggies.

   • Drizzle with spicy mayo.

I also paired it with a lovely red, that tasted so good!
