3 Fun Makeup Trends To Try When The World Opens Back Up
Even though the world is in a state of panic, there are many that are over the moon at just thinking about the next time we can "go outside" again. And if you're anything like me, it's going to be EPIC. I've been putting together a mood board of all of the looks, outfits and places I haven't been that I want to try out once we get to the other side (whatever that looks like) all in one piece. And trust, I'm stepping out like the first day of 9th grade before social media.
New outfit, new hair, new makeup, who dis?!

Baby blue. Lilac. Baby pink. Pastels are making a comeback and are becoming the new "power" eye so to accentuate my brown eyes, the all-over lilac eyeshadow from Juvia's Place The Violets Eyeshadow Palette really brings out the honey hues of my eyes and will make a statement for my first brunch or girls' night out! The trick to keeping cloudy hues from washing out skin or looking too preteen is to apply a light shimmery color in the tear ducts to break up the monotony and then pair with dewy skin, lashes (eyeliner if you're going out) and a nude lip.

When all of this is over, most of us will come out with AMAZING skin (fingers crossed) after spending some time with our skin, checking in with our esthetician and sticking to our skincare routine without the constant clogging of our pores with outside radicals and makeup. So show that SKIN off, hunnay! Keeping it dewy with glossy eyes and lips is perfect to show off your hard-earned skin. Wearing the Supergoop! Glow Stick Sunscreen SPF 50 is clutch because it protects your skin while giving it that GLOW we all love. Pair it with Milk Makeup Eye Vinyl for a glass effect on the eyes with matching lips that will bring out all of the natural highlights on your face and will show off your skin the way it deserves. In other words, give the people what they want!

Look #3: Neon Eyeliner

Want to make a BOLD statement when we're free to move about the country? A simple neon eyeliner will do the trick. Again, quarantining has taught us a lot about keeping things simple and I do believe our makeup, once all of this is over, will showcase that. Pairing a yellow, blue or even pink neon eyeliner (like Fenty Beauty Vivid Liquid Eyeliner in Banana Blaze) with a clean face and a nude lip will give you that extra pop without spending hours on your face for your first concert after the world opens back up!

As women, experiencing period pain is an all-too-familiar aspect of our lives. From mild discomfort to debilitating cramps, the aches of our flow can significantly impact our daily routines and overall well-being.
Getting our menstrual pain under control can prove to benefit us throughout the days of our period, but it can also enhance our lifestyle and alleviate us from being bound to our bedside as cramps, bloating, and headaches subside. While the discomfort we experience before and during our cycle comes with the experience of being a woman, it shouldn’t have power over how productive and well we feel during our cycle.
As we take care of our bodies during our period through proper rest, exercise, and eating well, we become better equipped to handle period pain and maintain a positive mindset. Still, it’s nice to know that there are capsules on the market that can give us the relief we need to reclaim control over our well-being during that time of the month.
That’s why we’ve provided 8 supplements that alleviate period pain, restore balance during your menstrual cycle, and allow you to embrace a happier and (less painful) flow.
