Enjoy this informative and positive beauty routine from the founder of LIVELY<\/a>, Michelle Cordeiro Grant!<\/a><\/p>\n
What is your morning beauty routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n
Post workout, I\u2019ll take a quick shower. Some hair products I\u2019ve been loving lately are Ceremonia\u2019s Pequi Curl Activator<\/a> and Aceite de Moska<\/a>, and Briogeo\u2019s<\/a> shampoo and conditioner.<\/p>\n
Once I\u2019m out of the shower, the beauty routine begins! My current skincare favorites are LIVELY\u2019s All. You. Face Mist<\/a> for a clean palette, Wander Beauty\u2019s Drift Away Cleanser<\/a> and Dr. Dennis Gross\u2019 Brighten & Firm Vitamin C Serum<\/a>. My makeup routine stays pretty simple on a day to day — I\u2019m currently loving Wander Beauty\u2019s mascara<\/a> and their Hidden Glow Brightening Cream<\/a>, and I never start the day without Supergoop! sunscreen<\/a> on the face. For a hit of color I always have NARS Gypsy lipstick<\/a> on me:)<\/p>\n
Last but not least comes the supplements, of course! Particularly post workout, I\u2019ll add a Hydrant Hydrate Mix<\/a> to my water for extra hydration and to kickstart the day. Then I\u2019ll take Arrae\u2019s Calm pills<\/a> (the magnesium is great for those days that are pure madness) and finish it off with Mary Ruth\u2019s beauty probiotics<\/a>, because digestive health is where it\u2019s at!<\/p>\n
What products do you use throughout the day and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n
I always always have LIVELY\u2019s face mist<\/a> and our repairing and smoothing lip balm<\/a> on hand for a mid-day refresh. They have a permanent seat next to my desk for days when I\u2019m on nonstop Zooms and I\u2019ll never leave the house without them in my bag!<\/p>\n
LIVELY\u2019s oversized scrunchie<\/a> is also pretty much my wingman these days — I rarely spend the day without it and get so many questions about it when I\u2019m doing Founder Chats<\/a> (my weekly IG live series interviewing kickass female founders). <\/p>\n
I can also never go a day without my daily elixir<\/a>. The perfect midday pick me up!<\/p>\n
And if I need a late afternoon energy boost I will have a Golde<\/a> matcha latte!<\/p>\n
What is your evening beauty routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n
If I\u2019ve had a particularly crazy day, I love to wind down with a bath! Goop\u2019s The Martini Detox Soak<\/a> is my favorite, and I love to mix in some essential oils to really relax.<\/p>\n
Post-shower or bath, I\u2019ll do my skincare, which stays pretty similar to my morning routine, but I\u2019ll add in an eye mask (Wander\u2019s baggage claim masks<\/a> are my absolute favorites), and I\u2019m a sucker for Nivea\u2019s body lotion<\/a> (it\u2019s my favorite drugstore find). On days where I\u2019m going all out with self-care, I\u2019ll really indulge with LIVELY\u2019s All. You. Sleep Mask<\/a> for the face, which is amazing for ultimate hydration, skin elasticity and reducing fine lines.<\/p>\n
I also always have Arrae\u2019s Bloat pills<\/a> close by for any post-dinner bloat! It works wonders, I swear.<\/p>\n
What is your definition of beauty? <\/strong><\/p>\n
When do you feel most beautiful? <\/strong><\/p>\n
What inspired you to found LIVELY<\/a>? And what do you hope the brand does for women?<\/p>\n
My hope for LIVELY<\/a> is for women of all walks of life to feel represented in our brand, and to inspire them to believe they are their own most powerful and beautiful asset, and feel confident enough to take on their daily hustle, no matter what that may be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
