Your New Summer Skin Obsession, a Blush Trick & That Freebie You Needed

Happy Monday, Muse fam.
We’re back—with a stronger coffee and sharper cat eye than ever.

Summer is in full swing and while TikTok trends may be doing backflips weekly, we’re focusing on what actually matters:

Styling smarter, not harder
Beauty that gives glow and results
A touch of wellness that’s low-effort, high-vibe
And always, a little joy you didn’t know you needed

Let’s get into it.

fashion & beauty inspo: “The Summer Blush Flip”

This summer’s most flattering makeup move? Using blush where you'd normally bronze. Think: the bridge of the nose, temples, even eyelids. It gives that “I just got back from a yacht I didn’t pay for” look.

Try it with:

Saie Dew Blush in ‘Dreamy’ – airy, long-lasting, and goes on like a second skin
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush – don’t be scared of the pigment, it blends beautifully
Merit Flush Balm in ‘Beverly Hills’ – buttery and perfect for dry skin babes

Bonus tip: Apply blush after your setting spray. It locks it in and gives a watercolor vibe.

beauty recipe: “Ice Roller Wake-Up Mask”

This one’s almost too easy:

2 tbsp Aloe Vera gel
1 tsp Green Tea (cooled)
Optional: 2 drops of Peppermint Oil for a cooling zing

Mix, freeze in an ice cube tray, and roll one on in the morning. Puffy eyes? Who is she? This combo de-puffs, soothes, and helps you look scandalously well-rested.
