AMAZON PRIME DAY 2023: Beauty Buys | STAINED COUTURE

Amazon Prime Day 2023 is finally here! If you’ve been living under a rock with no wi-fi for the last decade, here’s a brief description. Prime Day is when people practically everything is on sale on Amazon. I’m not talking a little measely 5% off, but you can some items for over 50% off. Everything from clothes, toys, and even electronics are marked on sale.

Personally, I used this sale to stock up on producsts that I love and hardly ever on sale. So, here is my list of products that I swear by and buy all the time.

AMAZON PRIME DAY 2023: Beauty Buys

  • Neutrogena Mineral Sunscreen Stick – Honestly, Neutrogena is my go-to drugstore sunscreen, but I recently picked up their minral sunscreen stick to keep in my car. It’s great for quick touch-up throughout the day and easy to us.
  • Dermaflage Mineral Foundation Powder – FYI, I work for this company, but this is not a sponsored. However, this is my everyday makeup powder because it has rally good coverage, waterproof, and has SPF 26. This provides me enough coverage to wear on “good skin” days or over a just a little concealer for those blemish days.
  • Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum – One of the best dark spot correcting products I’ve ever used. Also, this stuff workd fast, because I noticed change in a couple of weeks on acne marks from my teen years.
  • COSRX Snail Mucin Travel Set -I’m a huge fan of the snail mucin essence and moisturizer. This travel kit is a great way to try this iconic line. I’m getting it for my upcoming vacation.
  • Bioderma Micellar Water – Hands down my favorite micellar water, because it’s for sensitive skin. Therfore, it actually feels like water and I always use it to remove my eye makeup.
  • Mighty Patch Duo Kit – Whenever I want to get rid of a pimple fast, I throw on one of these mighty pimple patched. They usually disappear or rise to easily pop. I highly recommend the variety kit, because it has every option you would need.
  • Belif Aqua Bomb Moisturizer – I may have been a little exra giddy when I saw this moisturizer was part of Amazon prime day. It was an immediate add to cart moment. This moisurizer is super hydrating, but really light and easily melts into the skin.

LINK-END ROUND-UP: July 7, 2023

LINK-END ROUND-UP: July 7, 2023

LINK-END ROUND-UP: July 7, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday! When I tell you, that this has been the longest shortest week ever. It started last weekend when bad weather rolled into town again and knocked out power in parts of the city again. The power outages got my job and we couldn’t go into the office. So, my weeken turned into a 4-day weekend due to the 4th being on Tuesday, which was fine. I did enjoy my extra long weekend, but having my Monday be on Wednesday was rough.

Actually, Wednesday was amazing compare to yesterday and even today. Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours trying to fix an issue with our shipping system, just to find out at my last hour that it’s somthing that we can’t even begin to get resolved until later today. The cherry on top is that when I walked in this morning, I was greeted by a moldy, musty smell which I immediately thought could be a leak. I was right; the bathroom cleaning came down due to a leak, which also affectedmy boss’ office. Luckily, she was out this week on vacation.

Here’s hoping that week will be better and I’m about to try live lie to the fullest this weekend. Because, baby, I deserve it! I hope you have a great weekend and check out this week’s Link-End Round-Up. There’s a link that tells how to turn make classic cocktails into frozen versions. I highly recommend that one for thes heatwaves across the country.

Easy Summer Dresses 2023

When it comes to dresses, especially in the miserable summer weather, the easier the better. Easy summer dresses is my go-to everyday look in the summer whenever possible. Dresses are always an easy choice, especially during the hot day of summer.

I define easy summer dresses as a dress that’s not too intricate and you can easily throw on, but can be dressed up or down. Pretty much any dress that you can pull over and go will work. Also, you don’t have to overthink accesories, when trying to style it. Again, easy summer dresses.

Keep reading to see some of my current favorites that I’ve been eyeing for my upcoming vacation. However, all of these dresses will work if you jut plan to lay low all summer, which is also a vibe.

Easy Summer Dresses 2023

  1. Oversized Kaftan Dress – Honestly, I’m ready to step into my kaftan era and I wouldn’t mind stepping in it while wearing this one. It comes in other prints, but you can’t go wrong with black and cream.
  2. Gingham Mini Dress -This one is great because you can wear it as is or over white baby tee and short shorts.
  3. Short Sleeve Mini T-shirt Dress – A good, simple t-shirt dresss will get you far every summer.
  4. V Tunic Dress -This dress is the perfect summer work dress. The clean lines make it work-friendly and the fun print makes it great for after work drinks.

LUST-HAVE LIST: July 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy July! July officially marks the second half of the year and I’m not ready! However, I think I’ll be ready after my vacation next month.

Speaking of my vacation, I’ve barely spent a dime on anything I’m taking with me. I’ve bought sunscreen and a couple of pair of shorts – that’s all. However, I think I finally know which beach bag I’m getting. Other than that, I’m pretty mcuh just going to wing it, because I’m planning to just wear shorts, oversized t-shirts and dressed over my bathing suit.

I will admit that I will probably buy another swimsuit and going to step out my one-piece comfort zone. I included the top contender in this Lust- Have List. Peep the details below.

LUST-HAVE LIST: July 2023

  • Fur Oil – During my latesty dermplane session, my esthetician recommended I try this oil to help with ingrown hairs on my chin.
  • Brown swimwear set – I think I want to dip my curvy body in a 2-piece bath suit on my upcoming vacation. All pieces are sold seperately.
  • Ribbed Curvy Leggings – I bought a pair of these leggings in green, becaus they were on clearance. However, I love way this feel on and they compress really good. So, I obvioulsy need them in black.
  • Gold Mini Bag – Mini gold bags are my favorite. I actually think I should collect them and this one will be in the collection.
  • Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue perfume – My mom had this scent when I was in college and I thought it was okay. However, I smelled it back in December and it immediately smelled like the perfect for summer. Its light and clean I’m getting it!
