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.

Here are some of the BEST sales to shop this weekend:

#ad Today’s monochromatic makeup look is inspired #ad Today’s monochromatic makeup look is inspired by the colors of Fall. I used all @lorealparis makeup to create this quick and easy look that will have you out the door in minutes.

The foundation and blush are the True Match Hyaluron Balm Foundation and Embellisher that multitask by giving my skin hydration and coverage with a lightweight feel.

I’m in love with the burgundy eyeshadow stick and mascara because they make my eye color pop and will be gorgeous with all of my Fall-colored wardrobe pieces.

And I always finish with the 3-Second Setting Mist to keep my makeup in place all day.
