The Best Pink Blushes For A Sun-Kissed Glow

Blush is a secret weapon a lot of us have incorporated into our makeup routines. It’s a simple step that adds dimension, a pop of color and creates a beautiful sun-kissed glow. Whether you’re a recent or a long-time user, you know that adding a little bit (or a lot – you do you!) of blush to your skin can do a whole lot to your appearance. The best thing about blush is that it comes in all different shades, making it easy to find one that pairs well with your skin and makeup preferences.

Pink is probably one of the most popular blush shades – along with any coral and peach shade. It looks great on any skin color and can give you a sun-kissed glow we all know and love during the spring and summer months.

Keep reading to see our favorite pink blushes that give you that just kissed by the sun look.

How to Style Your Midi Tank Dress for Every Occasion

I’ve got 99 problems and my go-to midi tank dress solves just about all of them. Not sure what in the world to wear to a date night? Midi tank dress. Want to look cute but also let my legs breathe in the Florida heat? Midi tank dress. Need to wear a fit that’ll easily transition from daytime to nighttime? Midi tank dress.

We love when fashion meets function, and styling a midi tank dress is the perfect solution when it comes to keeping fashion as effortless as possible. Take the guesswork out of your next impending outfit crisis. Here are six ways to style one of the most versatile pieces in your closet:

A Saturday morning at the farmers market:

striped midi dress / striped midi dress (plus size) / denim jacket / denim jacket (plus size) / leather backpack / gold hoops / round sunnies / white sneakers

A morning at the farmer’s market has never looked better. Couple a midi tank dress with a cropped denim jacket and sneakers for what might be the most put-together Saturday of all time. If we had to pick one outfit to wear on repeat until the end of time, this would be it.

A long-awaited girls’ night out:

scoop neck midi dress / scoop neck midi dress (plus size) / baguette bag / stiletto heels / herringbone necklace / hoop earrings

Rooftop drinks, a night out at the bar, or a fancy dinner with our besties is our idea of a good time, and we couldn’t do it without the help of the all-classic little black dress. Pair with gold jewelry, stiletto heels, and your favorite shoulder bag for a look you’ll return to again and again.

A weekday in the office:

ribbed jersey dress / midi dress (plus size) / plaid blazer / plaid blazer (plus size) / oversized tote / leather mules / rectangular sunglasses

After over a year of working from home, our tolerance for uncomfortable workwear is at an all-time low. When we transition back to the office, we’ll be reaching for our comfiest midi tank dress, pairing it with an oversized plaid blazer, and slipping on some leather mules that are just as comfortable as our WFH slippers.

An outdoor concert:

ribbed midi dress / ribbed midi dress (plus size) / leather backpack / aviator sunnies / white sneakers / layered necklace

We love an outdoor concert moment, and nothing pairs better with dancing the night away and singing at the top of your lungs quite as well as a midi tank dress, comfy sneakers, and aviator sunnies. It’s the perfect outfit formula for a night of drinks, bad dance moves, and your favorite band.

A downtown date night:

knit midi dress / midi dress (plus size) / leather moto jacket / leather moto jacket (plus size) / gold bracelets / shoulder bag / heeled sandals

Dressing up a midi dress by pairing it with a leather jacket and gold jewelry is the ultimate way to elevate your look for a fancy night out with your partner. She’s chic, she’s cool, and she’s a look we turn to time after time.

A mid-Sunday picnic in the park:

ribbed knit midi dress / midi dress (plus size) / claw clip / cat-eye sunnies / straw tote / slide sandals

For a mid-Sunday picnic in the park, keep things simple. Reach for your comfiest “might-actually-be-a-nightgown” midi dress and throw your hair up in a chic claw clip. Also grab a large straw tote to house your water bottle, your latest page-turning novel, and cat-eye sunnies that pair well with a day in the sun and obligatory people-watching.

Beauty Editors Hoard These 12 Tatcha Products—And They’re on Sale

I’ve probably said this at least 1,000 times by now, but Tatcha products are so unbelievably good. I have extremely sensitive, dry, and acne-prone skin that can teeter on reactive, but Tatcha’s products are so friendly to the skin type that I’ve never had an issue with any of them. When you have skin that sensitive, let’s just say you tend to hold on tightly to the products that work for you (and never let go). I’m also not the only one who loves it, the entire BeautyLeeBar beauty community has at least one non-negotiable item from the brand, there’s just one issue—it’s expensive (*cries*).

The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser

Tatcha The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser

$40 $32

This gentle, creamy cleanser is a favorite of BeautyLeeBar beauty director Lee. It’s gentle on the skin with a pH-neutral amino acid base while Japanese rice powder softens the skin and boosts luminosity.

The Dewy Serum Resurfacing and Plumping Treatment

Tatcha The Dewy Serum Resurfacing and Plumping Treatment

$89 $71

This serum is a non-negotiable item in Lee’s arsenal. It’s a three-in-one lactic acid serum that gently smooths skin’s texture and deeply hydrates with hyaluronic acid and squalane.

Luminous Dewy Skin Mist

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist

$49 $39

Lee also loves this hydrating mist from the brand that (as the name would suggest) leaves you with the most luminous glow. It delivers a serious hydration boost and is perfect to use under or over makeup.

The Silk Serum

Tatcha The Silk Serum

$98 $78

A few BeautyLeeBar writers (myself included) loved this serum so much, we gave it a glowing review. It’s a great retinol alternative for those with sensitive skin because it utilizes gentle resurfacing ingredients like upcycled cranberry extract and sea fennel to reduce the appearance of fine lines and speed up cellular turnover.

The Essence Skincare Boosting Treatment

Tatcha The Essence Skincare Boosting Treatment

$110 $88

This hydrating essence is like a tall drink of water for the skin. Infused with a trio of fermented Japanese superfoods, it gives you an otherworldly glow and helps improve the efficacy of your products to follow.

The Texture Tonic AHA Liquid Exfoliating Treatment

Tatcha The Texture Tonic AHA Liquid Exfoliating Treatment

$62 $50

For those with oily or acne-prone skin, this texture tonic is an absolute godsend. Fruit AHAs, niacinamide, and Japanese mugwort help gently clarify skin and even out tone without stripping it of its essential moisture or oils.

Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment

I’ve been dealing with some moisture-barrier issues for a while now and this mask helps enormously. It’s a velvety serum-in-cream treatment that strengthens the skin’s barrier and helps balance the microbiome.

Violet-C Brightening Serum

Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum

$89 $71

This is definitely one of my favorite vitamin C serums on the market. It contains two forms of vitamin C and 10% AHAs to give your skin a serious glow and power up. It might be a tad too much for those with dry or extremely sensitive skin, but if you have oily or acne-prone skin, it can definitely be a winner.

The Camellia Cleansing Oil

Tatcha The Camellia Cleansing Oil

$50 $40

As far as makeup removers go, this formula and Fig. 1’s Micellar Oil Cleanser ($22) are my go tos. The Camellia Cleansing Oil is incredibly silky, hydrating, and removes even the most stubborn mascara in a flash.

The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Tatcha The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

$40 $32

For those who are acne-prone, this gentle exfoliating cleanser is the ticket. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients like luffa fruit, wild rose, and amino acids which lift away dirt and minimize oil without over drying your skin.

The Water Cream Oil-Free Moisturizer

Tatcha The Water Cream Oil-Free Moisturizer

$70 $56

Acne-prone folks will also want to pair the brand’s Water Cream with the Deep Cleanse Cleanser since it’s oil-free and helps keep shine to a minimum.

Hinoki Hydrating Body Oil

Tatcha Hinoki Hydrating Body Oil

$58 $46

This body oil from Tatcha is a favorite of BeautyLeeBar beauty editor Katherine. It’s like a spa day bottled with the light scent of hinoki and an organic essential oil blend.

Summer Desk Essentials That Will Elevate Your Workday

When summertime rolls around, working from home can either feel like the biggest blessing or a total drag. The advantages of it—like zero commute or the ability to wear what you want without getting any disapproving looks from coworkers—can be especially teasing when the warm weather hits. It’s easy to become irritable when you’d rather be at a rooftop bar or lounging on the beach, or if your skin’s sticking to your desk chair and you just can’t cool off.

No one wants to work in a space that makes them feel uninspired, which is why one key part of staying motivated while working from home during the summer is having a nice, enticing setup.

Make this your most productive summer yet with these summer desk essentials. From small summer skincare necessities to cute accessories, fans, and more, these essentials will elevate your desk setup and make working from home feel like a breeze.
