Weekend News – Volume 2

April 11, 2026

Hello there friends! Welcome back to my Weekend News update!

I just returned yesterday from my quick last minute trip to Florida. I was there for a last minute photoshoot with one of my favorite skincare brands (and also to visit my mother-in-law). It was an incredible experience and I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity. We’re never too old to chase our dreams friends! I wish only amazing things for all of you too.

And as if I don’t have enough on my plate already, I decided to join Limelife by Alcone as a Beauty Guide. I had been thinking of doing this for quite some time and the deal was sealed for me when I tried their incredible foundation called The Perfect Cream Foundation. It’s a professional foundation used by many makeup artists including the makeup artist who did my makeup at my photoshoot (total coincidence). They have a foundation shade finder that’s very accurate if you’re thinking you might want to try it too or ask me to help you find your match.

If you do decide to get the foundation, be sure to also pick up their new Hit Refresh Gel Mist. It helps the foundation to glide on seamlessly and can be used to hydrate throughout the day. I will be sharing more later, but for now you can explore my new site here. I will be sharing and demonstrating more of their products soon.

I’ve been wearing this top from Spanx nonstop. I have it in black and white and now I just ordered a unique green color. It’s an incredible deal. I also wore these cute sandals throughout my entire trip. They’re on sale right now and come in both beige and black.

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.

A few favorites for the week

A woman stands indoors smiling, wearing a tan cardigan over a white ruffled blouse, blue wide-leg Oliver Logan Aberdeen jeans, and sandals. She has long brown hair and stands on a rug next to a beige sofa, with straw hats hanging on the wall behind her.

These have to be my new favorite jeans. They have a great fit (I wear size 26/2 and they are longer on me at just 5’1). I wore them twice in 4 days on my trip to Florida. So comfy and lots of compliments. Use my link in pink above for 20% off your order of $50+ or my code Stacie20 for 20% off now. One time use per customer. You will LOVE this brand. They carry standard length and some petite styles as well. The style I’m wearing in the photo above is a standard lenght, but they are technically cropped.  P.S. I wore this affordable cashmere cardigan every single day on my trip, including on the plane. Lots of color options.

A few beauty favorites this week

A box of Clean Skin Club Clean Towels labeled "Original," with a towel partially pulled out. The box highlights features like compostability, gentle exfoliation, dermatologist approval, and contains 50 XL towels.

I love these Clean Towels for drying my face. They’re soft and absorbent and keep my regular towels free of products that may discolor or stain my regular towels. I use them to blot the water from my face when washing morning and night. I brought some on my trip so I wouldn’t mess up the hotel’s or my mother-in-law’s towels.

A black tube of Laura Geller Long + Lifted tubing mascara is shown open, with the mascara wand and its bristled brush standing upright beside the tube on a light gray background.

Laura Geller just released her brand new tubing mascara called Long-n-Lifted. I just tried it for the first time and I’m extremely impressed. It gave my lashes amazing length and came right off with warm water at the end of the day.

A hand holds a light blue makeup sponge in front of a white sink with silver faucets and a beige tiled backsplash.

I bought these face sponges to use when I cleanse my face. They feel soft and not abrasive. I love using them to help my skin feel really clean no matter which cleanser I choose to use. They come in a 6 pack of assorted colors and I highly recommend them.

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to level up If you’ve been looking for an easy way to level up your skincare routine, this is it! #roc_partner
 
I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.
