Weekend News – Volume 1

April 4, 2026

Happy first week of the month! And what a productive week it was! I’m trying to do ALL the things these days and that includes more frequent blog posts. You know, the old school way of communicating with you and writing because it’s one of my favorite things to do. Thank you for being here and reading my posts!!

I have a last minute trip next week for an exciting project so I tried to get as much done as I could this week to feel better about being away. Then when I get back in town I will need to hit the ground running to get through a TON of work before my big trip to France at the end of the month. Sounds a little crazy, but I “think” I have it all under control.

A smiling woman with long brown hair stands indoors, holding necklaces. She wears a sleeveless white top and a smartwatch. Bold red text beside her reads, “Weekly News, Sales and Finds.”.

*Please note, my post contains some affiliate links. If you use my links to make a purchase I may earn a small commission. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and I really appreciate your support!

As you know, I’m a bit of a shopaholic and this week didn’t disappoint! I scored this dress and this top with matching pants from Spanx at incredible prices. I may need to order them in additional colors. I also got the cutest jelly slides for spring and summer. I was boycotting the whole jelly shoes comeback but am so glad I decided to give these a try. So cute!

I’ve still been loving my blow dryer brush so much for salon like blowouts right in the comfort of my own home. I mention this because they currently have a sale for 30% off their hair tools right now.

Another thing I bought this week was this little gadget for listening to movies when on the plane while still using my air pods or wireless headphones with the tv device. Great invention that not many people know about.

I’ve mentioned before that you can join me in affiliate marketing if you have a little bit of a following on social media or a place to promote your links. This is my referral link which helps you get approved faster. I love using this platform more than others. Let me know if you have any questions. Always happy to help!

As a reminder, if you ever want to say hi, have anything exciting to share or something you just want to talk about, send me an email to stacie@makeupobsessedmom.com and let me know what’s going on.

Next, I’m sharing some of my favorite things for the week with you and will tell you a bit about each one.

A hand with light skin wears a large gold ring and two gold bracelets featuring the Gucci logo, posed above a carpeted floor and near beige furniture. The person has neatly manicured nails and a white ruffled sleeve.

I’m LOVING my new neutral bracelet stack and ring!

This is a great neutral bracelet stack with a bold statement ring. Top bangle has white jade accents and bottom bangle has white enamel. Both are available in additional color options. I’ve been getting a ton of compliments on this simple stack.

A hand holding a bottle of EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 sunscreen in a bright room, with a blurred background. The label highlights benefits for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

I’ve used this sunscreen brand for about 15 years.

I’ve been an advocate for sun protection for many years (my mother died from melanoma in 2012). We can’t control everything about our health, but we sure as heck can try to prevent skin cancers just by wearing spf every day. This is one of my favorite spf’s for the face. I highly recommend it.

A woman with long brown hair, wearing a white blouse and blue jeans, smiles while holding a large cardboard box labeled "Wantable" in a modern, light-colored room.

I love my surprise clothing boxes!

I received 9 items of Spring and Summer clothing in my recent Wantable box that I loved! Wantable is a styling service where you take a quiz and share your style preferences and your own personal stylist (not ai) puts together a box just for you. You try the items on in the comfort of your own home. Keep what you want and send back the rest in a prepaid shipping bag. No obligations. It’s a great way to discover new clothing and accessories. They have different types of edits, from everyday outfits, to travel edit, sleepwear edits and more.  Get $25 off when you use my link.

A smiling woman with long brown hair holds up two gold necklaces with round pendants. She wears a sleeveless white top, a smart watch, and a ring, standing indoors with a blurred background.

I love a pretty charm necklace

Last share for this week is these two charm type necklaces for probably over a year now and they both still look fantastic. One has a mix of evil eye themed charms and the other is a hearts theme. They’re both fun to pair with other gold jewelry I own.

I’m demonstrating two new-to-me beauty products th I’m demonstrating two new-to-me beauty products that easily captured my heart. The first is a cheek stain (be careful - a little goes a long way) that can also be used as a lip stain. I adore a multi tasker!

The second is a super moisturizing lip gloss treatment. It has ceramides, shea butter and avocado oil for smoother lips. Wear it sheer or layer it on for more color payoff.

Both of these were sent to me as gifts from the brands in PR packages. Thank you!

I recently got my hands on a brand new product and I recently got my hands on a brand new product and I’m so excited about it that I could explode! I’m literally blown away by the science that went into this one. My only hint is that it’s “beauty from the inside” with a combination of ingredients that address the signs of aging from within. We’re calling it a Skin Revolution because it’s a total game changer and there’s nothing like it out there!

Let me know if you want VIP access to this product before it’s available to the public.😎

And if you want to get it NOW and be part of this incredible brand called LimeLife to earn extra income and join a group of supportive women, I can share those details with you too!🤩

This lip butter balm is exactly what I’ve needed f This lip butter balm is exactly what I’ve needed for a very long time so I can wear all of my favorite lipsticks on smooth, hydrated lips.💋

This next-level balm helps to hydrate, smooth, and nourish lips like never before with a rich infusion of cocoa butter and plant-powered conditioners. It’s an ultra-soft formula that melts on your lips like butter, delivering a natural-looking sheen that leaves lips supple and subtly luminous.

You can see that they give a hint of color with a whole lot of shine and nourishment.

I like to say that these have a secret sauce to really mend, and soften lips. You need to read more about the ingredients on my website - you’ll be blown away!
