Spring sparkle With Gleaming, glowing Skin for a trip to Old Navy

There isn’t a policy that says you can’t shimmer and go to Old Navy in the middle of the week, and MAC show Gold is best for Quello.
“Because Old Navy” is as good a reason as any to sport sparkly skin on a normal spring Tuesday. Or Wednesday. ?

I mean, I really just want to get out of my pajamas before twelve noon and feel cute again on the regular, truth be told. If there’s a maximum number of days a person must spend in sleepwear per year, I’ve absolutely exceeded that limit!

Like the subtle spring sparkle look I did for last weekend’s luncheon, this one also took about 10 minutes. The spring sparkle comes courtesy of glossy coral lips, khaki lids and lash lines with subtle shimmer, and glowing skin.

All of the primary face products I used — the tint, powder, bronzer, highlighter and even the setting spray — have subtle shimmer and create a dewy, glowing look that’s best for a sunny spring day.

Ubiquitous car selfie!
I hadn’t been to Old Navy in a while, and guuurl, often when I go in there the store looks like the ninth wrinkled polyester circle of hell, but yesterday, not so much.

Ugh, SO much CUTENESS! They’ve got this retro tropical vibe happening, and it speaks with my soul. Hibiscus, parrots, palm trees left and right. good thing I had Connor with me and she was getting antsy for lunch because I would’ve been tempted to stay a lot longer and try everything on.

If these leggings had side pockets for a phone, I’d be all over them. COSÌ CARINO!
Love this print!
It comes in shorts, too.

Imagine this top with crisp white jeans and tan sandals!
