Makeup recs, at-home supply shop, sit in the car

Hi ,

Some of our readers are cooking for yom tov already! Are you?! I’ll be sharing our menu template sooner than planned for all you amazing balebustas. Stay tuned 😊

JUST A Q

Reader M wants to know: do you have any ideas for entertaining an active 2 year old boy who doesn't have any siblings?

JUST AN UPGRADE

Elisheva Hirsch, RBS-based makeup artist, shares her favorite products and tips for moms who have no time but want to upgrade their look.

As a busy mommy of delicious little kids, I get it! Although I am a makeup artist, I don't have time for makeup for myself. Half a minute in the morning is just enough time to quickly cleanse and moisturize (hack: SPF-and-moisturizer-in-one saves time!). When I do have time and patience these are my quickest, best grab- and-go products and most of them are cheap too!

💄ELF Bite-Sized Shadow Palettes – These tiny palettes have great pigment, are easy to blend, and have a good mix of shimmer and matte colors.

💄Essence “What the Fake” Mascara – This mascara has fibers — hair-like fibers attach to your natural lash achieving a fuller + longer lash look without clumps.

💄NYX Micro Brow Pencil (I like Ash Brown color) – Small, natural-looking strokes make your brows look fuller and more defined. Brows truly frame the face and instantly elevate any look.

💄Laniege Lip Mask – The best product for your lips! Really moisturizes and can pass as a gloss (that's actually good for you!).

💄ELF Putty Blush (I like Maui color) – Add a touch of color to your face. (If you are applying contour/bronzer as well, add a dot of blush to your forehead contour and blend well- it will give you a more summery and harmonious look!)

Feel free to reach out with questions, specific product recs or to book for your next simcha!

JUST FOR YOU

📚REC: Pull out the school supplies list… and shop from home! Skip the store runs. Order everything in one big haul from Amazon or Target, with some extras and color options, then set up a “supply shop” at home. Let the kids pick their planners, pencil cases, and notebook colors right off the shelf dining room table. Preferences met, shopping done — and you only left the house once. (PS. These look cool.)

💰TOOL: Get cashback on back-to-school shopping. Don’t forget to activate Rakuten before you shop to get cashback on purchases from Amazon, Target, and other stores. Plus get a $30 bonus the first time you use it.

🍇SNACK: The afternoon slumps have been coming for me (and my too-many coffees). Frozen grapes are refreshing, delicious, and better-for-you snack. (Thanks Reader T for the rec!)
