Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing. 

Overmantel paint color: @sherwinwilliams Worldly Gray
Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut

Bronze Glow Makeup Look + Beautycounter 15% Off Sale

Hey beauties! Today I wanted to share a super quick & easy bronze glow makeup look plus the Beautycounter 15% off sale!  This look is so easy to achieve and perfect for summer for that sun-kissed, just-left-the-beach glow.  Even better, all of the products I am using are included in the Beautycounter 15% off sale, so it’s the perfect time to grab things you may have had your eye on!  Beautycounter rarely, as in maybe 1-2x per year, does a blanket % off sale like this.  It’s the best time to stock up and save.  And remember, Beautycounter has a 60 day return policy, no questions asked, so you can try something out to see if you like it but if for some reason you don’t love it, you can return it!  I’m happy to help!

This entire routine took me FIVE MINUTES.  Doesn’t get easier than that! I posted the quick video to my Instagram Beauty Highlights if you want to check it out.

Here are the products I’m using:

  • Touchup Concealer Pen in shade Fair
  • Tint Skin Foundation in shade Sand
  • Radiant All Over Bronzer in Dune
  • Satin Powder Blush in Melon
  • Color Define Eyebrow Pencil in Dark
  • Volumizing Mascara
  • Velvet Eyeshadow Palette in Classic – in this look I used the “ivory” color right under my eyebrows to highlight and then put the color “suede” in the creases of my eyelids.  To turn this into more of a nighttime/date night look, I’d add “burnished” and “copper” for an extra sultry look that’s still very natural!
  • Lip Sheer in Terra
  • Lip Gloss in Bare Shimmer

If you need help with shade recommendations, send me an email! I’m happy to help!

I also shared my updated morning & nighttime skincare routine on Instagram, but want to share it here as well for reference!

MORNING ROUTINE: Cleanse with the Nourishing Cream Exfoliator + moisturize with the Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion.  This lotion helps battle breakouts and matches your skin’s moisture needs to give it the exact amount it needs…hence the “adaptive” name! It’s so cool.

NIGHTTIME ROUTINE: If I wore makeup that day, I use the makeup remover wipes to take that all off.  Then I cleanse with the Rejuvenating Face Cleanser.  Every other night I use the Overnight Resurfacing Peel …I put that on after cleansing and allow to sit for about 5 minutes, then I put on the Rejuvenating Night Cream.  This combo has really changed my skin’s texture and vitality in just a few weeks and I really credit the peel for helping me battle the hormonal acne AND the dark spots left over.  I 100% recommend the peel to just about everyone.  It is a game changer.

1-2x per week: Charcoal Mask!  It’s so effective at getting all the gunk & junk out of your pores to stop breakouts before they happen.  I love how my skin feels afterwards!

xo,

Bess
