As a massive beauty enthusiast, I shop for makeup, skincare, nail stuff and more everywhere. Sure, I have my favorite store (watch the video to find out which one it is!), but you can find fantastic products wherever you are. In this segment, I share my favorite product picks at Target, CVS, Ulta, and Walgreens.  Let me know where you prefer to shop for beauty, and what you always snag when you go there. 

We're at the height of summer here in Minnesota which means a few things: 

• Humidity levels are at about 80% and my hair has pretty much given up. On everything. 
• We've transitioned from making everyday conversation about how cold it is to dramatically lamenting how HOT it is outside. 
• Wearing makeup outside is a challenge. One I'm forgoing more often than not. 

So basically, it's the perfect time to share some of my favorite products and tips for keeping your makeup on your face during the heat. Check out the Twin Cities Live clip and let me know how you like to beat the heat in the comments down below. 

I love answering the questions you all send my way, and that's how this Twin Cities Live segment came together. I received a few different questions over Instagram and Facebook about how to layer products. Which comes first, moisturizer or serum? Should bronzer go on before blush? And what's up with lipliner: put it on before lipstick or after? We tackled those questions and more! 

On today's Twin Cities Live beauty segment, I shared with Steve and Elizabeth my picks for green beauty products worth a try and those, comparatively, worth a pass. It was a lot of fun - and a little surreal - to be back on set after taking some time away from the show. It honestly felt as though I hadn't been away for even a moment.  

One of the floor producers took this picture for me and...I mean...doesn't it just kind of sum up everything wonderful about the show? Steve has clearly said something brilliant. Elizabeth is very impressed by his knowledge of green beauty. And I just think it's all pretty funny. ​

I'm scheduled to be on the show again July 1st and am currently brainstorming topic ideas. Anything in particular you'd like to see? Let me know in the comments.
