Hi, everyone. Thanks for your patience while I took a little blogging break. I missed talking to everyone, but it was a good way to get some of the cobwebs out of my brain!
If any of you live in the U.S., you know a big part of the country is going through a heatwave right now. Your first priorities should be drinking enough water, making sure your family, neighbors and pets are okay and wearing sunscreen if you have to be outside. After that, you can worry about making sure your makeup doesn't melt off your face. There's nothing worse then spending 10 minutes doing your makeup only to get to the office or school and discover everything is a sweaty mess.
If you've been reading the blog since the beginning, you might remember our friend and fellow beauty blogger Jamilla Camel. Jamilla did a blog post last year on sweatproof/waterproof makeup where she actually applied her makeup then blasted her face under the shower. That's dedication. The two Lancôme products she wore were L'Extreme waterproof mascara and Le Crayon Khôl waterproof eyeliner. She swears you can even swim in the ocean in Le Crayon Khôl and it will not budge.
I'd also throw in some Dual Finish pressed powder and our new Teint Idole Fresh Wear, which I'm liking very much. It has an SPF of 18, plus the formula is shine free and oil free. I can't imagine any foundation staying totally shine free when it's 100 degrees outside, but at least this gives you a good head start. (That's our spokesmodel Kate Winslet above, looking radiant but quite shine free.)
If you have any hot weather beauty tips, feel free to share them.
Stay cool!
