1 OF 1001 THINGS
Firstly, how beautiful are these Beautycounter Lip Sheers Lipsticks, that I snapped a pic of on my bathroom vanity? Secondly, it’s the weekend, which means: here are my highlights from the week, favorites around the web, and I bet you can guess my top sale recommendation. Last Saturday I held a kick-off party for Sarah Sarna for Beautycounter, followed by a Facebook LIVE broadcast on Wednesday evening. Using the Facebook footage, I made my very first video! Last May I created a list of 101 things I would like to accomplish in 1001 days (which needs serious updating!). Number 49 on the list is “Learn to edit video,” and number 50 is “Post 10 vlog posts on my blog and YouTube.” I can finally cross number 49 off the list, and number 50 is on its way!
MY FIRST VIDEO
In my Sarah Sarna for Beautycounter introductory post earlier this month, I talked about how I learned about the company through a friend, and how switching to safer personal care products fits perfectly with my belief in improvement. In this video I dive deeper into the truest reason Beautycounter has been such a game-changer for me; and what the Movement means to me. In the process I share something that few of my closest friends even know. I hope you’ll watch it.
BTW: In the video I’m wearing the Lip Sheer in Scarlet, the Color Sweep Blush Duo in Flamingo/Apricot, Touchup Skin Concealer Pen in Light, Mascara, and Countertime Skin Care Collection.
#NSALE: 8 DAYS LEFT TO SAVE
I’ve been so busy with projects, preparing for the Facebook broadcast, and editing my first video that I haven’t gotten in a roundup this week for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The #NSale is still on for another 8 days! As I’ve covered in my #NSale Shoppers Guide, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a rare opportunity to score designer fashion at way below retail price, from a cult-favorite beauty tool you’ve always wanted to own, to iconic watches and handbags, all available at shockingly reduced prices. Remember that my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites page is your go-to URL for the #NSale: add it again to you bookmarks, and check back frequently.
