Showdown: Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF40 vs Kosas Tinted Face Oil

Everybody’s talking about the new Ilia Super Skin Serum Skin Tint SPF40 on the clean beauty front and I get it. Skincare, makeup AND SPF in one product? Sign me up! The last time I remember makeup lovers creating such a buzz was when Kosas released their cult-status Tinted Face Oil.

Both of these products boast a skincare serum with just the right amount of coverage, so I thought I would do a little head-to-head action! Let’s get down to business.

Odds and Ends

1. Need a laugh? I have watched this video a billion times. WHO TOOK THE TIME TO CREATE THAT?! I want to marry that person, that is all.

2. I love John Krasinski and the fact that he launched the Good News Network is everything that we need right now.

3. Anxiety or Coronavirus? I could have written this article myself. (But on the flip side? Many of us have been training for this our whole lives.)

4. Are the members of Gen X social distancing pros? I am feeling this article.

5. Live Botanical is my favorite affordable clean beauty line and they are offering 20% off right now with the code ANFGBCOMMUNITY. My two favorites are the Glowing Honey Mask and the Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum. Both are super duper hydrating.

6. The destruction of the restaurant industry is just one of the million things on my mind right now. If you can, order takeout as much as possible!

7. Onto lighter subjects! Everlane is offering 25% off EVERYTHING through tonight.

8. I can’t remember a time when Beautycounter offered 20% off their products. It’s for new customers only when you sign up for their newsletter! Perfect time to pick up my favorite eyeshadow palette, face cream, and/or shampoo and conditioner.

9. Y’all are following Jessica Yellin, right? Her videos on the pandemic are fantastic.

10. This photo is everything. Humanity, you all. #uglycryface

11. Have you caved and made Dalgona coffee yet? I don’t even drink coffee but I’m slightly intrigued.

Friday is here. Everyone take a deep breath with me. This won’t be forever. xoxo

Get Ready With Me: Quarantine Edition

Today I put makeup on for the first time in a week or so – it’s interesting how the act of applying makeup can boost the mood, at least for me!

I do feel the need to express how grateful I am for everyone on the frontlines who aren’t able to stay at home during this scary time – doctors, nurses, medical staff, delivery persons, mail carriers, drivers, grocers, etc. I poke fun at the boredom of staying home, but fully realize how privileged I am to do so and do it in a safe space. I do not take that for granted.

Now on with the look! Here are the products I used and I included discount codes if applicable.
