💕 90s-Inspired Self-Care: Soft Glam Rituals for Your Slow Girl Era

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Let’s rewind — not just your mixtape, but your mindset. In a world that’s always rushing, 90s self-care is your permission slip to slow down, glow up, and romanticize every little ritual. From bubble baths to body lotion, we’re embracing the art of soft living — one cassette tape at a time.

🔯 Bubble Baths & Candlelight Vibes

Set the scene: dim the lights, light a vanilla-scented candle (or something slightly floral like your mom’s old favorite), and fill your tub with warm water and bubbles. Press play on a retro playlist — think Sade, Madonna, Mariah Carey, or lo-fi 90s beats.

✭ Vibe Upgrade: Use a waterproof speaker and play a “Cassette Tape Chill” playlist on Spotify. Bonus if you sip on sparkling water in a wine glass — extra soft girl points.

📲 Face Masks & Landline Chats

Slather on your favorite cooling gel mask or creamy clay, wrap your hair in a towel, and grab your cordless phone (or just pretend your smartphone is a landline — we won’t judge).

Whether you’re catching up with your bestie or journaling “as if” it’s a diary entry, this is about connection and slowing down.

✨ Pro Tip: Try a guided self-care chat with a friend — share what’s been bringing you joy, what you’re letting go of, and your slow girl goals.

💆‍♀️ Soft Hair Rollers & Body Lotion Rituals

After your bath, it’s time to pamper like it’s 1995. Apply your favorite body lotion (or body oil) slowly — this is about luxury, not speed. Slip into a robe and pop in some soft hair rollers for that effortless volume.

Finish with a few spritzes of a vintage perfume — like CK One, Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden, or a modern dupe with nostalgic notes (think light florals, citrus, or powdery musks).

✨ Mood: You, lounging in bed with glossy lips, fluffy socks, and nothing on the schedule except relaxing.

Wing it Out 

This tutorial from The Queen Hadassah is great for darker skin tones and walks you through, step by step, how to create the ultimate sultry glam. She keeps the skin and her lips fairly neutral, while placing an emphasis on her eyes with a thick wing.

Light-Handed 

If you have fair skin, eyeshadow can feel heavy pretty quickly. To keep your glam looking soft and subtle, follow this video from Sacheu. She focuses on warm neutrals and blending to keep the look light and fresh. 

All About the Eyes

The shimmery rosy pink look ahead is perfect for any occasion — especially Valentine’s Day. And thanks to Ashley, recreating the glam is doable in under 15 minutes. If pinks aren’t for you, feel free to use her technique while swapping out the shades for burnt oranges or browns.

Primp Tip: My 5-Minute Makeup Routine

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

We all have mornings where we’re strapped for time yet still need to look presentable. Trust me when I say I’ve been there! Your alarm clock doesn’t go off, you’ve pressed snooze one too many times, or your morning just isn’t going quite the way you want it to. With a busy schedule and hardly enough time to make breakfast, putting on a full face of makeup doesn’t always make sense.

I’ve had my fair share of practice over the years when it comes to applying makeup in a pinch. So today I thought I’d share my foolproof 5-minute makeup routine to save you time on those busy mornings. Keep scrolling to see how you too can achieve a perfectly put together look in no time at all…

Start at the foundation.

On busy mornings I opt for lighter but even-looking coverage when it comes to foundation. I want my skin to have a healthy, even glow without going over the top. For this I use Black Radiance TRUE COMPLEXION™ BB CREAM or I use Iman Second To None Stick Foundation/ Iman Second To None Cream To Powder. I love how blendable their foundation is and the end result feels completely weightless.

Once my foundation is evenly applied, I reach for my NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, Too Faced Born This Way Concealer Naturally Radiant Concealer-Deep with Golden Undertones or FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Match Stix Trio. I like to cover any noticeable redness or dark circles under my eyes, but make sure to do the bare minimum. Next, I use TRUE COMPLEXION™ SOFT FOCUS FINISHING POWDER to give me an airbrush flawless finish look. Remember, we’re trying to save as much time as possible. Save any major contouring for another day!

Make me blush.

Don’t forget to leave the house with a pretty, natural flush. I like to lightly contour my cheeks by applying Anastasia Beverly Hills Bronzing Powder in Mahogany. I rarely contour my entire face so just a touch of bronzing powder does the trick.

I then apply PÜR 4-In-1 Blush Book to the apples of my cheeks. It adds enough color to give me a healthy glow without being over the top.

Easy on the eyes.

Believe it or not there are only four products that I use on my eyes on a regular basis—whether I’m trying to save time or not! First I start by sculpting my brows. I’m more of a natural girl myself, especially in the brow department. I use the Tinted Brow Gel – Granite to keep my brows put and the Anastasia Brow Definer – Dark Brown to make my brows look defined. I pencil in my eyebrows mimicking the natural direction of the hair and use the spooli on the other end to blend it all out.

Sometimes, I go in with my Morphe 25A COPPER SPICE EYESHADOW PALETTE, ABH
Modern Renaissance Palette, ABH Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette Once, and/or ABH Norvina Eyeshadow Palette. When I’m done putting on eyeshadow, I coat my eyelashes with Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara and call it good!

The perfect pout.

Perfectly applying lip liner and lipstick (don’t get any on your teeth!) can take up way too much time. Instead, using a tinted lip balm will not only give your lips hydration but will also give them a nice, natural wash of color that is perfect for school, appointments or work. Before I head out the door I swipe on Maybelline New York Baby Lips Cherry Balm or FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer for moisture. It leaves my lips extra soft.
