Top Beauty Tips and Fave Products from Running With Mascara
My name is Emilie. I was a runner in high school and college, and I am slowly making my way back by training for a 5K. It’s hard to get back in the habit, but given my personal experience, I can help others reach their goals and provide motivation for people who have reentered the world of fitness. Growing up playing sports (ice hockey was my favorite!) and loving academic life, I have always appreciated people who have a healthy interest in both. It’s important to keep a balance!
When it comes to beauty, I love Sephora and the amazing sales they have at Ulta. I truly believe that not wearing mascara is a sin, but I keep it pretty bare during the week. On weekends, I dial it up. I have perfected the smoky eye for nights out. In terms of beauty products, I swear by Origins 10-minute mask called Drink Up. It is the best hydrating product I’ve found. My skin has gotten progressively drier with each fall/winter season, and this product keeps me fresh and clean. Who doesn’t love feeling that automatic change in their skin after using a product? You can see and feel the difference.
Our other awesome editor is Jen. Jen and I are both pop-culture and fashion enthusiasts. Jen loves being updated on all the trends, such as what colors are seen on the runway and what shoes are in for the season. Trying new makeup products and exercises keeps her daily routine interesting, and finding clothing and makeup on sale especially makes her happy! Her favorite beauty product is Essie nail polish (in a variety of colors). She also loves the foundation and powders from Clinique. She really has an eye for color and is always changing her nail polish.
Our best tip for a post-workout makeup refresher? Carry face wipes or use a towel with cool water to dab your face of any sweat. And keep a tinted moisturizer handy—it will even out your skin and hydrate it so that you can go from the gym to a coffee date. Keep it simple and you can’t go wrong!
I’ve so committed a sin with the lack of mascara many days…but I am DIGGING the product suggestions and top beauty tips. Thanks, Emilie and Jen! What’s your favorite beauty product? —Jenn
