Hello Beautiful,
Happy Love Month! Beauty is multi-faceted, just like the incredible women we celebrate every day. I had so much fun creating this February photo shoot with my dear longtime client, Andra. A true Southern beauty, Andra embodies grace and confidence in every stage of life. From her single glam makeup days at Studio CARA to walking down the aisle with us as her beauty team, and now as a powerhouse lawyer and devoted mom, her journey is a beautiful reminder that self-care and confidence evolve with us.
This month, whether you’re getting ready for a romantic Valentine’s date or a fun-filled Galentine’s gathering, it’s the perfect time to refresh your beauty routine and add a little extra glam. I’ve put together a Valentine’s Day Gift Guide filled with must-have beauty treats, plus my Lash Love essentials—because nothing completes a look like full, fluttery lashes! And let’s not forget the power of a great concealer—I'll be sharing my top tips and beauty hacks to keep your skin looking flawless. So throw on a little sparkle, and let’s have some fun celebrating love, laughter, and looking fabulous all month long! 💕✨
Much love and gratitude,
Live Life Beautifully,
Leslie

Moms, You Deserve a Glow-Up!
Being a young mom means juggling a million things at once—late-night feedings, school drop-offs, and never-ending to-do lists. But in the midst of caring for everyone else, don’t forget to take care of you, especially your skin!
A simple, effective skincare ritual can be your secret weapon for looking refreshed (even when you’re running on little sleep). Try this quick “Got to Glow” routine for a fresh, radiant face in just minutes:
- Cleanse – Start with the CARA Calming Oil Cleanser to gently dissolve makeup, dirt, and stress while keeping your skin soft and nourished.
- Tone – Refresh and rebalance with the CARA O2 Toner, infused with oxygenating ingredients to give your skin a boost of vitality.
- Mask & Glow – The CARA Oxygen 911 Masque is your instant pick-me-up! This oxygenating treatment revives tired, stressed skin, leaving you looking bright and refreshed—like you actually got a full night’s sleep.
- Hydrate & Plump – Follow up with the Collagen Quench Serum to deeply hydrate and keep your skin looking firm, fresh, and dewy.
- Protect – Lock in your glow and shield your skin from daily stressors with CARA Glow Savior SPF 30, because healthy skin starts with sun protection!
Take 15 minutes for yourself, breathe, and let your glow shine through. Because when you feel good, you show up even better for the little ones who need you.

3 Beauty Hacks for Fast Glam
Glow & Go Base
Mix a drop of your foundation with your moisturizer like CARA Sea-C Creme and/or a pump of CARA Skinshimmer for a quick, dewy skin finish. This hydrates, evens out your complexion, and adds a subtle glow in one step.
Instant Eye Lift
Apply your CARA lighter shade concealer in an upward diagonal line from the outer corner of your eye to your temple. Blend it out for an instant lifted effect—this brightens and sculpts your face in seconds.
Lashes for Days
Apply CARA lash thickener before your mascara for extra volume, then follow with two coats of mascara for bold, dramatic lashes that open up your eyes instantly.
