I hope you all are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! I wanted take a second and express how grateful I am for all the men and women who have died fighting, defending and preserving the many freedoms we enjoy in this wonderful country. To those men and women who are currently serving, or who have ever served in the armed forces, thank you for all you do. You are true heroes!

xoxo, Joanna

Winter Skincare Survival Guide

While winter is coming to an end, there are a couple more weeks until it is actually spring. I thought I would share a couple of my absolute holy grail products for the rest of the winter season!

Currently Craving: Stripes (and Spring!)

I’ll give you one guess as to what I’m currently craving ;) Stripes have always been one of my favorite patterns to wear but I’m really feeling them right now! They almost give an instant refresher to any look, perfect as we make the transition into spring. Happy Wednesday!!

MAC Prep+Prime CC Colour Correct Collection

MAC has once again expanded their permanent Prep+Prime line to include three new products in 4 enhancing and perfecting shades.  While I just recently got my hands on these and haven't tried them long-term enough to warrant a good review, these are just "first impressions" and photos of the collection itself.

MAC Prep+Prime CC Colour Correct 

Available in stores and online (here) now

Permanent line

Prep + Prime Powders (available loose and pressed)

These powders "apply transparently, smoothing away the appearance of lines and imperfections."

both $24.

Adjust (peachy beige), Neutralize (yellow), Illuminate (lavender), Recharge (apricot)

(all photos coordinate)

These two formulas swatch almost exactly the same, color-wise. Both are very smooth. The main difference is obviously just the formula and which you prefer, loose or pressed. I personally prefer pressed.

Prep+Prime CC Colour Correcting SPF30

"A creamy, tinted primer that evens skin tone in a multi-tasking formula."

$30.

*Notice, I only swatched 3 of these. MAC sent me two of the same shade, so I don't have the "Recharge" shade.

These are very pigmented and apply very smooth. I've only tried the Illuminate shade so far (as a primer, under foundation), and while I didn't notice any night and day incredible "illuminating" difference, I did notice that it acted as a great non-greasy primer, and my skin did look healthy and glowing throughout the day.

Hope this helps those of you that wanted a few more details about these before you purchase! They're available online now and in stores.
