Gym Face Must Haves

It's happened everybody... the day has arrived... I honestly never thought it would come to this... I pictured it feeling different... my time has come, I officially have... writers block.

It hit me 2 weeks back, I had plenty of useful blog ideas, and frankly I still do. But none of them were fully prepared, and slowly but surely I fell off my writers streak.

It's been dark and lonely without you all here with me, the "non-blogging" world is rather horrifying. I think we need a name for people who live like that, sorta like the muggles in Harry Potter. Maybe those unfortunate folks who don't read or write blogs could be called.... loggers? Loser bloggers? Yeah maybe not... it's a work in progress...

To jumpstart my writers blog and get back into the world of talking to the internet where people may and or may not, probably not, care about what you say, I've been spending every day in the gym. Generally, I love the gym. I really do, but I can fall off my routine every once in awhile... but I must say, these past few consistent weeks of going to the gym regularly have me feeling more energized and a little less stressed for bikini season... which trust me I'm still stressed about.

Nonetheless, I'm in college, which simply means I go to my college's gym.. full of college boys.. and college sports teams.. and very intimidating, or gym-timidating (blogger joke, please laugh) groups of people. Any real skin care lover knows you shouldn't wear makeup to the gym because it clogs all your pores when you sweat and causes impurities to build up underneath the skin. But any girl knows sometimes... we need a little confidence to roll up in the free weights and hang with the boys, no shame there.

So I have put together my Gym Face Must Haves for anyone looking to just add a little coverage to their face, but still keep it airy and natural looking!


In order of application:

Face Lotion: Cetaphil - this stuff is AH-MAY-zing for moisturizing dry skin and giving your face a  healthy glow.

L'Oreal True Match Foundation N5 Natural Beige - This is my every day foundation, which is build-able coverage... but what I'm about to share with you makes it the perfect wearable gym makeup!
  • MIX 1 part lotion, of any kind, and 1 part foundation in your hands. Rub them together like you do sunscreen, so the two parts mix! The foundation will become less pigmented, but you will still get coverage and the lotion adds the moisture to keep it looking natural! Its a homemade tinted moisturizer! I love this combo for gym days because it gives me small color and coverage, while also feeling light on my skin to sweat through!

ELF Concealer Apricot Biege - Literally this stuff is $1... and I love it! It has very very light coverage, but adds color and brightness underneath your eyes. I have under eye circles, so I need some brightness and this does the job of covering them up... but still looking like I have no makeup!

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara - I just adore this mascara.. that's all...

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Rose Water - this spray feels so fresh on your face and really gives a natural and dewey glow that goes perfectly with your gym look
  • Spray the facial spray on your face and you are ready to go


This face is my Go-To look and I hope you all try it out and love it too!
