BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

It’s funny, because while I don’t typically partake in fast fashion, I gobble up allllll the trendy beauty things like they’re candy. Not surprisingly, I’m typically left with a sort of beauty-sugar-crash when after a few uses, I toss them aside.

As we explore our style this week, I thought I would apply the idea of fashion essentials to beauty and ask the team what beauty product is their hero product — the one they use up, and then re-buy, re-buy, re-buy.

The coolest part, a large portion of these products are drug store buys (okay with the occasional La Mer thrown in for good measure). Read on to take a peek inside our makeup bags.

FALL ESSENTIALS

When I read Garance’s post about “the bad outfit” a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t stop laughing because it resonated so much with me. I guess that’s one of the beautiful things about Garance’s writing, she gives a voice to those little vulnerable moments that we all can relate to, and lets us joke around about them.

VALUES / STYLE

When, as the Atelier, we decided to focus on our values for the month of September, we had many discussions about what exactly those values are. Inevitably, we ended up talking about style. After all, style, and the style with which one lives their life, is a huge part of what Atelier Doré is all about.

I did everything, everything, everything I could to manage on my own. And then one day, I cracked. It was like an implosion, like something ripped – something resolute and calm, like jumping into thin air.

How To / Do Less!

I have a theory that the most depressing day of the year is the Tuesday after Labor Day. Why? Because in one jarring day we transition from the idle days of an August summer to the frenetic energy of September. Still...
